I can't activate my iphone5 on ios7

I can't activate my iphone. When I try my apple ID and password it still doesn't work and it says Could Not Activate iPhone "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support"
and when I try to connect to iTunes it says that "the software on the iPhone has expired and must be update to a newer version"
, but when I check for an update it says that "This version of the iPhone software (7.0) is the current version."
I go check in iCloud on a website and it says that my iPhone is in a lost mode. Anything I can do with this? or do I have to take my phone to apple store? now I can't play anything on my phone.
I tried to restore my iPhone too, but it says "Find My iPhone must be turned off before “forstefirst” can be restored.", but I can't go in my phone now so I can't do anything with that.

  • Can't activate FaceTime since downloading ios7

    I can't activate FaceTime since downloading ios7

    The only thing that works for me and my iphone 5 was to backup my settings apps and email in Itunes (windows8). Restore the phone to factory default. After that  i got a question about location service for itunes/ facetime etc... I skipped the question and says "no"
    When the phone was reinstalled with factory defaults, I restored my apps etc... after that no more problems... The message when starting facebook, whatsapp about login to Itunes etc...is also gone...
    Hope it will work for you too... good luck

  • Can I activate the iPhone5 on a different line without a SIM-switch?

    I've been searching for the answer to "Do I have to have a SIM-switch?" for awhile now. There are already over a dozen threads and different people keep giving different answers. To complicate things, even Verizon Customer Service is providing what appears to be drastically different answers. To help anyone else who may be wondering about this, I've complied a list of the Verizon Rep answers below:
    Here are links to Verizon support saying that you will be able to activate the phone on any line when it arrives without a replacement SIM.
    ChaunceyM_VZW wrote:
    "Even though the transfer upgrade option isn't available during pre-orders, you will be able to upgrade using the eligible line. Once the phone arrives, you can select the number that it will be used on. You can visitvzw.com to make the change."
    ChaunceyM_VZW wrote:
    "Once your phones arrive you can go to vzw.com and activate the iPhone 5 on the number of your choice."
    ChaunceyM_VZW wrote:
    "I can confirm that you're able to use the upgrade from an eligible line and use the phone on the number of your choice when the arrives. Simply complete your purchase as normal. Once the phone is delivered you can go to vzw.com and activate the phone on the number you select."

    Here is the same Verizon support rep saying that you are required to activate the phone on the line you ordered it before you can transfer.
    ChaunceyM_VZW wrote:
    "You will be required to
    order the phone on Line B
    receive the phone
    activate it on Line B
    Reactivate it on Line A
    Reactivate Line B's original phone on Line B.
    to transfer the upgrade to another number. I know it's a pain, but your new phone will be worth the trouble."
    Here is a different Verizon support rep saying that if you used MyVerizon to transferred an upgrade no additional steps are necessary and the phone will activate for the line that the upgrade was switched to. However, she says that if you didn't utilize the 'transfer upgrade' function, then contrary to Chauncey's answer that you can activate on any line via vzw.com, Vanessa reports that you must obtain a new SIM card in order to upgrade a different line.
    VanessaS_VSWSupport wrote:
    "The SIM card does come programmed for the phone number it was ordered on. However, if you process order as an Alternate Upgrade, meaning, you requested to have it transferred to your line, the SIM will be programmed to your phone number. If it's not, you will be able to get a new SIM card from VZW or the Apple Store."
    VanessaS_VSWSupport wrote:
    "Simply select [a] number to upgrade, then select "Transfer Discount", and then select your mobile number, and proceed as normal. This way, you will not have to get a new SIM card, as the SIM card will come programmed with the number it was ordered on.
    VanessaS_VSWSupport wrote:
    "If the new phone was ordered under a different line, the SIM card will come pre-installed with that phone number; therefore, you will need a SIM card for your number if the new phone will be on your line. If you did an Alternate Upgrade, using another eligibility, but ordered it on your line, the SIM card will come pre-installed with your number and you'll be able to activate it on your line, no problem."

        Hi Houser,
    Sorry about the delay in our response. I know the information regarding the iPhone 5's sim card is confusing so let me go ahead and clear that up for you. The activation process for the sim card depends on how you ordered the phone. If you order the iPhone for line A but wanted it active on line B and you selected the "Transfer Upgrade" option when you processed the order, you will not need to complete any additional steps. Just power on the phone, activate it and you'll be all set. The phone will be programed to the correct line.
    If you ordered the iPhone 5 for line A but really want to activate it on line B and did not choose "Transfer Upgrade"  you will have to complete the following steps.
    1. Activate the phone on line A.
    2. Remove the sim card.
    4. Complete the ESN change to activate iPhone and sim card on line B by going to www.vzw.com/myverizon or by calling our customer service department at 1-800-922-0204. 
    6. Re-insert the sim card and activate phone B the next day. (This steps needs to be completed because the sim card is going to be reused)
    Thanks for the great question!

  • How can i restore a iPhone 4s (ios7) with a back from from a iphone5 (ios8.1.1?)

    how can i restore a iPhone 4s (ios7) with a backup from from a iphone5 (ios8.1.1)?
    When I try Easing All Content and Restore. It backup's to ios7. Then I'm unable to install the backup that i have in the cloud.
    Help!

    Are you sure it's a 4S and not a 4?
    You can't restore a backup made with a newer version of iOS to a phone running an older one. You must update the phone to the newer version of iOS, wipe it again, then restore the backup.
