If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

HT1766 when I update my iphone I stuck on activating screen pls help
I was update my iphone 3gs 5.1.1 to 6.1.3 then it shows the error when I restore it then it stuck on the activating window
it shows that it could not be activated bcoz the activating server is temperary unavilable..We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation. -

What have you tried? What happened? Error message? What did it say? Did you sync them from your computer.? Buy them from the iphone itself? -

i was trying to update my iphone 5 but it got stuck on itune screen. whenever i try to restore it says error (1669) what can i do. please help
Try these troubleshooting steps.
If that Article did not resolve it... then perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
Be sure to make an appointment first...
Note:
That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.
Unauthorized modification of iOS...

When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?" Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?
I have a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS (eg: purchased from Apple). I received the same message at some point and eventually (after reading a bit more) accepted "Download and Update". No problem. No apparent bad effects. It just seems to update things specific to the carrier (Bell Mobility in my case).

Iphone 3g Hangs and stucks at activation Screen on update to OS 3.0
Hello Friends,
My Iphone 3g Hangs and stucks at activation Screen on update to OS 3.0.
I updated the phone to OS 3.0 last night and to my surpsrise after the OS Completely installs and restarts the phone,the phone then hangs and all i can see is a black screen when the phone is connected to PC.
As soon as i disconnect, it shows the Itunes-PC Connect image asking for activation.
Again if a connect back,it hangs and keeps on restarting ..over and over again.
i tried everything:
1) Re-Install Itunes 8.2
2) Re start OS
3) CHnage USB Cable
4) Change PC
5) Keep the phone connected for around 4 hours expecting some miracle to happen still no use.
** If i try to donwgrade back to 2.2.1 then it givess error to and not able to downgrade.
Now i have put myself in a situation wherein i had to switch to other phone.
The phone is just getting rust as there is no Support/Care center in India.
Please someone help me out.
Atleast let me know :
Is any hardware part involved in activation of phone?Close iTunes and unplug iphone
Search web and download the 2.2.1 ipsw file.
Go to device manager on PC and delete the USB option for Apple under the hardware options.
Reboot PC
Plug in iphone and wait for dreaded connection picture
hold power button and home button until apple logo appears
continue to hold home button and release power button until connection picture appears again
Your PC should now find the iphone in recovery mode
Now open iTunes and it will prompt you to restore
Hold the shift button on the keyboard and click the restore button at the same time
This will allow you to browse for the correct ipsw file
select the 2.2.1 file that you downloaded
your iphone will now restore
Once completed, you will need to resync
Now you are back to square one but at least have a phone that works
Now make an appt at the Genius Bar and make them update it for you
Mine is scheduled for next week -

Im stuck on activation screen wat should i do itunes doesnt help it says a error and i have restored phone doesnt help can you help me fix it i got a iphone 3gs and it wont work because of the activation screen give me some tip of helping me
What is the exact wording of the error message you are getting?
Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other than
the original wireless provider that it was locked to? -
I'm stuck on activation screen because my phone won't accept my password for my apple i.d. I reformat and reset and updated everything but it still wont go through..please help
Try making a new Apple ID? I don't really understand what you mean.. Make a new apple ID, log in with that one and then when you are on your phone log out of it and THEN log in our old ID? If you still can't log in the old one then it's most probably a bug or something.. Anyway.. Good luck with your problem!!

IPhone 4S is stuck at activation screen when trying to update iOS7 please hep!
iPhone 4S is stuck at activation screen when trying to update iOS7 please help!
All of Apple's servers...including the activation servers are pretty much flooded with users like you doing the same thing. Be patient and keep at it...or wait till the traffic to them has decreased and then try again. Coming back to it tomorrow (if that's a viable option for you) will likely increase your chances of not having issues.

I recently got my iPhone 5 unlocked and the other day I updated my phone to ios 7. After doing so my phone shut off and turned on and it said I had no service. I guess it completely wiped out my unlock. I was wondering if anyone knows what I can do to fix it!!
How, EXACTLY, did you get it "unlocked"? ONLY the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. Anything else is a hack.
You can not get help here for a hacked phone.
