I can`t activate Iphone 4s after wipe out

Hi,
I changed my password to log into iphone4s and I blocked it. Earlier I`d installed FindMyIphone. I tried to erase data hoping that i could restart it. I also erased Iphone from findmyiphone. Now i Try to activate it and every time I try, connection is failed and iphone ask to activate it by itunes. When I do that, itunes aks to enter pin code but either on iphone and itunes there is no place to do that.
What should I do?

Hi PatGaspode,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
In this situation I would recommend a specific kind of restore called recovery mode. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to put your iPhone in recovery mode and restore it.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

I can,t activate iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2

I can,t activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2.Now what i can do

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.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?

HT4623 Can not activate iPhone 3GS after upgrade to 6.1

I was happily using my iPhone 3GS v4.1 till my son upgraded to IOS 6.1. Now it shows "could not activate iPhone". Please help

Was the phone hacked or jailbroken to use it with a different carrier than the one it was locked to? If it was then it is again locked to that carrier, and there is nothing you can do about it that can be discussed in an Apple hosted forum.

Can't activate iPhone 4S after restoring it while over seas

I am on a 2 month work trip overseas and recently had to "restore" my phone to clear up some software problems. After restoring, the phone will not activate. I am currently in Germany and I get a "No Service" message where I would normally get "bars" and the name of the service provider.
I am a Verizon customer and NOT trying to use another provider's sim or anything like that. I am actually able to receive calls if someone calls my regular US number but I am unable to make calls at all.
When I reboot the phone i get the message "Waiting for activation - This may take some time." I can dismiss this message and use other functions of the phone (attach to wifi, etc) but if I leave it alone i never activates.
I have both Voice Roaming and Data Roaming turned on in Settings
Anyone know how to activate what is basically a "new" Verizon iPhone outside of the US?

Can't activate iphone 3gs after update

After update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs wants activate. After update from ios 4 to ios 5 all was fine. Iphone was locked to some carrier. IMEI 011985003296760
How I can know is my Iphone locked to at&t or another mobile operator? Sorry for my english.

This happens to iPhone which is unofficially unlocked. Nobody here can tell you the carrier to which your iPhone was locked.
Need to call AppleCare
or
Google its full model no. to get a hint.

HT4623 I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

I had the same issue with one of the three iPhones I updated on Wednesday. There are many processes that are working for people including:
- Resetting the device several times
- Toggling the "Dont' Allow Changes" setting under "Restrictions --> Location Services"
- Disabling Restrictions altogether.
- Restoring from backup
I was able to restore location services by selecting "Reset" and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new. When the phone resets and goes through the setup process, I was given the option to turn on location services. I then restored from backup and was good to go.
Some people have been able to resolve the issue by resetting but only using "Reset All Settings" without having to erase all content, but that did not work for me. It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.

vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

Disable your antivirus and firewall.
If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3425746?start=75&tstart=0
I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

How can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?

how can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?i upgraded mu iphone to ios but the iphone is factory locked so i can not activate it with a sim card because i dont have the original sim card.is another way to do it?

You cannot do anything without a sim for the carrier the iPhone is locked to. With that you can attempt to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 but note that if the previous owner installed an Apple ID and password and turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone, you will never get it to work without the Apple ID and password. That is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

Can't activate iphone

Help! Can't activate iphone. When phone is connected via USB 2.0, get windows message that iphone is camera and to select program (eg microsoft word, sonic) to launch action. itunes 7.4 version doesn't recognize iphone either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Puppy is correct.
There is no work around to get the iPhone to work with your computer.
Since you bought a GREAT phone,
maybe it's time to get yourself a GREAT computer to go along with it.

Hi alain961!
I have an article for you that can help you with that question:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
