I am having trouble activating my iPhone 4 could you help me?

Yes. AT&T has to authorize the unlock. However, they can not do so in the store. There is a process that must be followed involving restoring the phone in iTunes to complete the unlock process.  How did you use the phone in between the time you bought it and the time AT&T authorized unlocking it?
WHEN did AT&T authorize unlocking it? AT&T did not begin offering unlocking until last Spring if I recall correctly.

    If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
    updating to iOS 6:
    iOS 6.0.1
    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    USA
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does It mean?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Airtel 13.0

    It would be better for troubleshhoting if you posted back to your original question.... here

    All iPhones sold in Japan are carrier locked. The Japanese carriers do not offer unlocking.
    You can not use that phone on a carrier other than the one it is locked to.
    Sell it and buy one you can use.

  • HT5569 I am having trouble connecting to wifi can you help.

    I am having trouble connecting to wifi can you help.

    connectng with a pin # will not work with the ipad. you need to find out exactly what the actual wifi password is.
    pin and push buttons are used by wifi protected setup. which is an optional feture of WPA
    here are some ideas
    go to the routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254) and see if you can click on "show password"
    get the manual out, it should have the default user name and password you may need to access the routers page
    if your windows computer connects, then you should be able to right click the wifi connection and click on show password as well. this is somewhere in the properties page of the wifi connection
    also with windows its a good idea to click on "save wifi connection to usb drive" this can be used to connect other windows computers and xbox game consoles as well
    if your laptop computer is a mac book you can go to the keychain or icloud keycahin and reveal the actual passowrd as well.
    look at the actual router it might have directions on a sticker on how to access the routers configuration pages
    if you enter the wrong password on the ipad you need to forget the network and try again

  • Can someone please help me?  I am having trouble activating my iPhone.

    I attach my iPhone to my computer through the USB and the cradle. iTunes opens fine and it shows my iPhone. When the iPhone window opens I get the following error. We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active , then try again. Can someone please help me with thin. I have tried to contact apple support but havn't been able to get anyone. If you go to my profile and read my bio there is a link to a site where I sell my concert photographs. My site is www.davextreme.photoreflect.com or my myspace is www.myspace.com/davextreme1. I would be willing to send an 8X10 of any musician you want to anyone who helps me solve this problem.

    "The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active , then try again."
    This is usually the type of message you get when you have NO internet connection. It can also happen if the site that you are trying to contact is experiencing troubles or is just to busy at the time. Are you sure your connection is working properly?

  • HT4623 i am having trouble activating my iphone. it says server unavailable,

    the activation server is unavailable!

    Where exactly did you get the phone? Was it ever jailbroken or "unlocked" by someon other than the original carrier?
    This is usually symptomatic of a hacked or jailbroken phone that has been updated or restored.
