I can't get my phone to register appl id for facetime/imessage: It just sits there and does nothing. This is annoying and I'm using my phone as an ipod in Japan since it won't transfer carriers, how do I fix this?

My phone is unable to transfer over here in Japan, so I am using it as an ipod while I have a new phone. It wont register my apple id for facetime or anything though, am I supposed to get an email with a link or something?

activation of imessage requires the ability to send an SMS message to a number commencing with +44. Do you have the ability to send international text messageswhile in Japan?

My iPhone 4S won't connect to wifi, it won't even let me turn it on and when it does it just sits there and loads

My iPhone 4S won't connect to wifi. It won't light up for me to slid on. And the few times it does light up, it just sits there and loads and loads.

Hi there Ashton1334!
I have a couple of articles here for you that may address your issue. It seems like from your description that this article is going to be the most relevant, and it deals with Wi-Fi settings being greyed out or dim:

My iPhone 5s keeps randomly shutting off and restarting. It can either be in use or just sitting there and it will turn off. I can't figure out what is wrong.

My phone randomly shuts off. I will be in the middle of using it and it will completely turn off. I can also not have used it all night and I will pick it up and click the home button and then it will flash the apple restart screen. I'm not sure what is causing this as I have only had the phone for about two weeks. It's a little concerning and just wanted to see if anyone knew what it could be without me having to go into the Apple store.
Thanks!

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

HT1947 Home sharing doesn't work. I tried all the items in the troubleshooting section. It just sits there and says turn on home sharing in itunes in the remote app. It's on. Connecting to a library doesn't work either because my phone doesn't show up on

Iphone 5. Anything else I can try? Itunes and iphone and the app are all up to date.

I brought my macbook air at home, everything worked perfectly: iPhone, iPad and Apple TV can connect. So basically I guessed that the issue was coming from the iMac, something preventing it to be discovered. I've checked the bonjour broadcasting and oh, surprise, the iMac wasn't broadcasting... Weird because it's a setup from a Time Machine, the environment I am running currently on the macbook air.
Anyway, if this can help someone else:
I've ran:
ps aux | grep mDNS
and saw that for the iMac the daemon was launched with the argument -NoMulticastAdvertisements.
I've setup the daemon to run back as normal and restarted the computer:
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder ProgramArguments -array /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder -launchd
After the reboot, everything works flawlessly (it has never worked before for the 6 months I had the Apple TV).
Also interesting discovery and I think it's new because I don't remember being able to do that before, but some of my devices are on the separate 5Ghz network, some are on the 2.4Ghz and they can still all communicate flawlessly. I can use AirPlay on the Export Express that is on the 2.4 from the iMac that is on the 5Ghz, and I can access the iMac library from whatever band. Pretty nice!

I've downloaded itunes. downloaded the myView app. How do I get it to work? I've double clicked until I'm blue in the face, and it just sits there. Won't open or anything.

I've downloaded iTunes. I downloaded the myView app. I can't get it to work. It's in my library. I doubleclick on it and it
just sits there and doesn't respond. It is very very important that I get this app to work today!!! Help.

These are apps for the iphone/ipod/ipad.
They do not work on your computer.
You need to sync them to your iphone/ipod touch/ipad and use them from there.

Having issues when try to burn a disc., which I never had an issue doing. Yesterday when I tried to burn a playlist it says "checking media" but just sits there. I know drive is working because I can put in a purchased cd and can import it into my library, but now it just sits there and hums until I maually eject the disc.Before all this started it said something about that I should "calibrate disc", since then it won't let me do any burning. I can't find any options in " preferences to change anything except the burn speed. Any suggestions? Tried rebooting, tried using my wifes iTunes on same comptuer.

I recently transferred my ipnone service from at&t to another carrier the phone worked fine until i tried to up it with itunes i now have a frozen itunes logo and a plug on the screens my phone is a iphone 3g how can i get my phone to work again?

my ipone 3g is frozen with aitunes logo and plug after i tried to update it from apple. the phone worked fine even thou i changed carriers from at&t to Simple celleur. How can i get my phone to work?

As AT&T has not officially unlocked your phone it must have been hacked to use another carrier. So when you updated it has relocked itself to AT&T. There is no official unlock so this will happen anytime you update.

I updated my 4s to ios7 and the phone is now completly dead. I tried to restore it with the new itunes but it won't restore. If you can't get the download be glad! Anyone have any ideas other than going out and buying a new Samsung phone?

I updated my 4s to ios7 and the phone is now completly dead. I tried to restore it with the new itunes but it won't restore. If you can't get the download be glad! Anyone have any ideas other than going out and buying a new Samsung phone? I don't really need a paper weight.

No not jailbroken. After the update which took about 45 minutes. The phone went black. Dead. Wouldn't restart. Using the new itunes I tried to restore it. It went through the motions; the white Apple and progress bar appeared on the iphone screen. Then I got a message "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." Then the phone went completly dead again. I Repeated the process and got the same results. Is there another way to restore the phone if it's dead, besides itunes?

I can not get my phone to sign in to my wi fi. I used to, then I lost power to the internet and now it won't. Al other devices will.

I can not get my phone to sign in to my wi fi. I used to, then I lost power to the internet and now it won't. All other devices will.

Try forgetting the Wi-Fi network and then joining it again, just tap Settings > Wi-Fi > the arrow next to your network > Forget this Network, then join the network again.
If that doesn't do it, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

I have an ATT corporate account. Can I get a phone at the Apple store?

I have an ATT corporate account. My contract is set up so my account is fully serviceable at Retail stores. I went to ATT store on launch day, waited 45 minutes, got to the counter and low and behold the salesperson says they cannot access anything on my account.The screen is grayed out. So I leave disappointed. I call ATT Business Dept and they say that there is no restriction and I should have been able to buy a phone. I went back to the ATT store today and the same sales person gets business dept on line, checks the computer and it shows I can buy any phone including the iphone they are now out of. He has no explanation. I should have made him call yesterday. I ordered one from my Premier website but need another one. Can I get one from my local Apple Store that has phones in stock or will they shut me out as well??

You can not get an iPhone at Apple with a corporate account. You have to go to an ATT store to do that. Also- your data is going to cost 45 dollars instead of 30 dollars with a corporate account.
If you try to get an iPhone at an Apple store and you have a corporate account, it will kick your registration out of the Apple computers and they won't even be able to complete the sales portion of the transaction.
