HT4972 i have 3gs when i update it to ios6 the phone could not be activated why
my 3gs phone couldnot be activated when i updating to ios6 why
i do not know what this means. I purchased the phone brand new two years ago and have never had any problems with it. The message i am getting reads:
"your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. try connecting your iphone to itunes (which i don't have) to activate it, or try again over cellular connection in a couple minutes. (which i have tried several times with no success) you can also try to activate using wi-fi connection (which i do not have). if this problem persists, contact apple support at apple.com/support."

Hello JD_NINJA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Error 9006 when restoring your iOS device indicates that there is security software on your computer which is preventing connection to the Apple server or your device. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the directions below.
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

When I try to restore my iPhone, it says: "The phone could not be restored because the firmware is incompatible"
Did you try the things listed here? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support Is your device jailbroken? Have you ever used the computer to jailbreak a device? Are you trying to load an iOS other than the current one? What version of iPhone are you using? Is this occurring when attempting to update via iTunes and the computer?

when trying to sync my iPhone i get a message saying : iTunes can't sync apps to iPhone because the apps installed on the phone could not be determine. what is going on?
I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

Why is it that when i am receiving a call the phone does not respond to my finger touch?

If the photos that you have on your iPad came from a different computer that may be why you are getting that message. If you have photos from a previous sync with iTunes you must make sure that you have those photos selected to sync again.
In the photo below, I have a checkmark next to sync photos. The folder from which the photos are syncing is iPhoto on my Mac. You can also see that I have clicked - selected albums, events, and faces automatically. These events, albums, etc will sync every time the way I have this set up.
I can also add new events or albums when I sync if I choose to do so. You have to select the other albums, events, etc. that you want to sync by putting a checkmark in the box next to the event and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes and they will transfer to your iPad. -
HT201210 my iPhone 3gs has just been restored and phone could not be activated
please note i have inserted 2 different type of sim cards and connecting to itune, it indicates i should insert sim card, meaning that the phone could not recognise the sim.
please what should i doPossible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer. -
after downloading i-clouds I keep receiving a no service message and phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.
I have read several questions on this but dont see a solution.Activation requires a SIM, assuming the SIM is functional it should simply activate.
The vast majority of activation issues are the result of devices that have been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here. -
I am trying to restore my phone, however it says that the iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I have tried again a few times but still the same. Any suggestions?
Was your phone ever locked to a different phone carrier than the one your on now?
If so how was your phone unlocked?
Very rarely is the server unavailable.
Is your phone jailbroken or was your computer used to jailbreak a device? -
