Hello mzpartia,
I found an article from Apple that specifically outlines how to try and troubleshoot this issue. It's called iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424.
Resolution
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Applefor assistance.
Take care,
Sterling

Since installing the 7.0.4 updates my iPhone 4S won't let me delete voicemail messages. Help

Since installing the 7.0.3 and now the 7.04 updates my IPhone 4S won't easily delete voice messages. I have to try over and over. There is no rhyme or reason as to why it sometimes works. The guy at Verizon said Apple did it on purpose to force you to upgrade to the Apple IPhone 5 series. I've heard the iPhone 5 has problems also.
I've always liked my Apple products: MacBook Pro, IPad 2, but now I'm worried about buying an IPhone. I hate to give up on the syncing capability but this is a pain.
Advise?
Thanks!

What is the model of your iphone? I have a hunch but need more data to see if I'm correct. Thanks!

I enabled my restrictions and then disabled them succuessfully, but in the process I lost all my folders that my apps were defined into. The apps are there but the folders don't exist anymore, please help.

You may want to try restarting to see if that has any effect Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

My apps are all waiting after 7.1.1 update

All my apps are waiting after the 7.1.1 update. I have signed out of everything and held the home button and sleep button. That did not work, any other ideas?

You can try and sync with your usual computer.

I restarted my mac and many apps and files disappeared. It's like it booted to a state several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?

It's like it booted to a state it was in several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?
The files on my desktop are not the ones that were there when I shut down. It's like it's gone back in time.
My display's power supply got fried (I think) in a power outage so I bought a new one. However, every time I restart the display usually stays black. I have found I need to keep rebooting until it kicks in and starts working. I unplug everything, wait a while (a few minutes to overnight) and try booting again.
This last time the display finally came on but I'm faced with this problem. I used to use time machine, but I deleted everything and disabled it a couple months ago or more so I'm at aloss as to why the mac is booting into the state it was in sevearl months ago.
What could I have done to cause this? Has this ever happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
Note: I did a search for a file I knew was created today. I found it and it showed that it was a file I had saved on the desktop this morning--even though that file's icon is not appearing on the desktop now.
I did a search for photoshop and saw my CS5 version listed.
However, I did a couple more searches and these files no longer appear in the search. I don't know if they're there or not. This is bizarre!
I'm on a Mac Pro, 10.6.2.

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.

Apps (like other synced media like music) are not included in the backup that iTunes makes. Thus, restoring from backup if the apps are not in the iTunes library there are no apps to restore to the iPod.
Redownload the apps into your iTunes library.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
And then restore from backup.
Make sure that in iTunes>Preferences>Devices the box that say "Prevent iPods..." is checked otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the previous backup (with your app data) might be overwritten.

Apps are disappearing

My apps are disappearing. I installed my apps that I use VERY frequently, however they keep disappearing. I have to re-install them, several times now! Very frustrating.
I first was using App2SD pro to move my apps to "media area" and noticed it was those that I moved. Well I stopped doing that and moved what I could back to the phone. Well after the 500th install of ChompSMS and Dolphin Browser, I am starting to get VERY angry.
What the heck is going on?!?
Reboots, battery pulls, nothing helps keep them in place.

I have had the same issue! Even replaced the phone. I haven't used any App to move my apps to the "media area", just the native app manager. It seems to only "forget" the apps that have been moved as far as I can tell. After the app has been "forgotten", if you check the "media area" it still shows and the "move to phone" button is active. However, when you press it, it tells you the app is not installed! As it is still quite new, I am not sure what the pattern with the loss. It may have something to do with using the "mass media" setting when connected to the PC. I do know that when in this mode, the phone can't recognize the SD card or whatever is stored there. I ABSOLUTELY love this phone. But, these issues are extremely annoying, ESPECIALLY since it has been "coming soon" for nearly a year!
Now I have had the Incredible since it came out, and teach those people in my company that have android phones (at least 300-400) how to use them. I have used/setup/configured almost every model that has come out, so I am very familiar with them. I can honestly say that I have never seen this issue before. I believe it may be related to how the bionic sees the actual SD card as "sdcard-ext" and the internal phone storage as "sdcard", But I'm not completely certain about that.

Did the update to OS 5...synched all my apps..then only 11 pages of apps are visible..the others are invisible..If I move an appfrom the 12 plus pages in itunes to a lower page...It becomes visible....WHY?..How can I get all 20 plus pages visible?

OK....First,you are right, OS 5 has the 11 page limit....you must create folders of Apps until you get below 11 pages of combined folders and apps...NOTE.....the upgrade to OS 5 killed all of my old folders and folder organizations...this may be an issue for all????.....I have over 300 apps so when the old folders went away...I was left with 20 plus pages....only 11 visible....It took me awhile to find out what happened....Since I have 64G it seems that 11 visible pages is a silly limit since the apps are on the machine...

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

Apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back.

Hi, apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back. Spotify, Shazam, BBC iPlayer and the Maps app have just gone. I have tried to redownload them from the App Store but there isn't the option, cant get them back with iTunes either. Help!

I wish it was as simple as that. I have tried to redownload them but they are marked as installed.
I have even gone into iTunes and in the app tab untucked the disappeared apps, synced, then reticked the apps. This is where the strangest thing happens, the app appears on my iPhone, the progress bar goes from zero to the top, then, when the app should be installed, it disappears.
So far Spotify, BBC iPlayer, the Maps app, iFooty, and probably some apps I'm not aware of are affected.
Interestingly, the apps have also gone from my wife's iPhone which is on the same Apple I'd, but they haven't gone from my iPad which is also on the same Apple I'd.

Ever since the latest OS X update, my apps flash from active to inactive every few seconds.

Since the last OS X update 10.10.3, my apps flash from active to inactive and back again. It happens with all of my open applications, and it keeps me from typing accurately because the app, flashes to inactive while I am trying to type.
