  • My IPhone 4 wont activate and I dont want to buy a simcard to activate it

    My iphone 4 wont activate and it worked fine without a simcard before i factory reset it.... And I REALLY dont want to pay 20$ to call customer support... this is my last resort I'm afraid...
    the error message "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care."

    I could have searched the forum for that answer but can speak from experience.  I retired my old 3GS and wiped it, bought a ip5 and ported my number to a new carrier.  Part of the wiping of the old phone restored it as new.  When I connected it to itunes the setup assistant would only pop up if I put an old sim car in it and then I could activate it

  • I NEED HELP!! my iphone 5s wont activate after updating to ios 8 . what is wrong?

    hello! I updated to ios 8 two days ago and it was ok. I started using my iphone later that day and it just rebooted . Now it wont activate .

    look... I start my iphone and and it goes to main LOCK screen where a message is shown, the message is "activation needed" . After I slide to unlock  and write my security code it goes directly to the activation page , not to the very begging ,where you should select the lenguage but from the part where you have to chose a wifi connection . I connect to wifi and the activation process starts . On the screen is a message that tells me to wait a couple of minutes . After a couple of minutes there is another message shown on the screen where it tells me that the activation server is unreachable for the moment , please try again later . and this procedure can be repeated    a hundred times and the same message will appear . It wont eaven reset . Any ideas wat is rong with it

  • HT201210 iphone 3gs wont activate

    I have a Iphone 3gs that wont activate after update.

    That would answer your question. This type of error is generally related to security software blocking the gs.apple.com server, or if the device was jailbroken. As a jailbroken device, you cannot get assistance here, but just to let you know that updating a jailbroken device will lock the device back to the carrier it was originally locked to and will also result in this error.
    Try Google and see if you can find a solution. Good luck.

  • My iphone 3gs wont activate after updating to ios 5

    ive updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 but now itunes wont activate my phone and comes up with a messege saying my phone has no sim inserted when it has one (original orange UK sim), what can i do to sort this out

    I had the same problem with mine and found out because i bought it second hand and had it unlocked updating it causes it to go back to being locked again. If you've bought it in the same situation then maybe that's the problem, i got it unlocked really cheap too and now its back to normal and all my messges, apps and pics are back.
    hope this helps

  • HT4623 My iPhone 4S wont activate! Im connected to iTunes but i doesnt allow it to connect

    Could not activate iPhone is the message I get. It tells me to contact apple support but i dont know how

    Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

  • Iphone 3gs wont activate with itunes...........

    Why wont itunes activate my iphone 3gs it keeps saying no sim is installed????

    Contact Orange to get the iPhone officially unlocked.
    The 'professional unlock' by the previous owner is hacking
    and had made unknown changes to the iPhone. Such modification
    may prevent a legitimate unlock and may render the iPhone
    inoperative and unrestoreable. The update has relocked the iPhone
    to Orange.
    Google may provide some direction, but it is just as likely that
    your iPhone is on its was to becoming an brick.
    Contact the previous owner and get your money back. Buy a
    new iPhone from Apple or Apple authorized reseller at your location.

  • My iphone 4 wont activate after i reset it

    I bought my iphone 4 used a year ago, I recently got a new phone and just wanted to use my iphone as an ipod, but now that ive reset it, its saying I cant activate it throu iTunes, and its wifi is broken, how do I activate it so I can just use it as an ipod?

    Here are the steps to activate an iPhone:
    If your carrier provided a SIM card, make sure it's in your iPhone.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you can't activate using a cellular data connection.
    Restore the iPhone.
    Check the system status for iOS Device Activation. If the iOS Device Activation status isn't green, try activating your iPhone later.
    If you receive an alert message when you try to activate your iPhone, place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you still can't complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
    If you're asked to enter a password to proceed with activating the iPhone, Activation Lock might be enabled as part of Find my iPhone.
    For more details, please read the guide: Get help activating your iPhone - Apple Support
