I cant actvate my iphone 6
I bought my iphone 6 in china, they said its unlocked and i can use different sim cards.but when i try my other sim it said it needs to b unlocked by the carrier,and i dnt know what is the carrier of this unit.can somebody help?
Suggest that you check where you purchased the device to see what they said. Also, you should be able to look a the box and see if it states anything there. You also might want to see if the box indicates the model number of the phone, that can help. The only other method to see is to contact Apple and they should be able to tell you.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it. -

Hello AlexCornejo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode. Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
Take care,

I get an error from iTunes saying it cant recognize the "iPhone"
I just upgraded to itunes 7.6.0.29, after that got a pop up with a message from iTunes saying it cant recognize the "iPhone" and to detach it and try again.
Just for verification uninstalled 7.6 and reinstalled 7.5. The problem went away. Then upgraded the iPod Touch software to version 1.1.3
Thinking that with the new SW version in the iPod maybe the problem went away upgraded again iTunes to 7.6 just to get the same error again.
Any way to "fix" this? or should I re-install 7.5 and wait for 7.7?
Any help will be appreciated.Hi there,
follow the following steps below and it shud sort ur problem.
"THE FIRST AND FOREMOST BLUNDER THAT WE HAVE DONE IS OUR ITUNES VERSION SHOULD BE 7.6 IN ORDER TO UPDATE THE IPOD SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE TO 1.1.3 FROM WHAT EVER OLDER VERSION WE HAVE."
*MAKE SURE THE ACTUAL EXISTING VERSION OF THE ITUNES ON YOUR
COMPUTER/LAPTOP
STEP 1:Friends what I have done is I disconnected my IPOD from my laptop and
firstly downloaded the ACTUAL (EXISTING OLDER) ITUNES version (7.5) that I
initially had while i was DOING THE BLUNDER OF UPDATING THE FIRMWARE TO
1.1.3.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE OLDER VERSIONS FROM THIS SITE:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/?3694
STEP 2: Once the ITUNES (older version) dump is available on your computer
uninstall the ITUNES and all the IPOD related stuff from your computer
from Start>Control panel>ADD/Remove programs.
Step 3: Restart ur computer and reinstall that older version ITUNES software
again.
Open the ITUNES software.
Step 4: Now connect your IPOD and the ITUNES will prompt you that an IPOD in
recovery mode is detected. It will ask you if u want to recover it to the
factory settings by clicking on "restore" under the "summary" tab on
ITUNES. Before doing this the very important step we need to do is to
UPDATE THE ITUNES VERSION FROM THE EXISTING OLDER VERSION TO 7.6 WHICH IS
VERY IMPORTANT.
STEP 5: To do this click on the HELP menu on the top and click on CHECK FOR
UPDATES. Thats it the ITUNES will be updated to latest version which will
allow us to update the IPOD'S FIRMWARE to 1.1.3 as well.
STEP 6: Now go to the summary tab of the IPOD and click on restore> wait for the
restoration process to carry on and the IPOD should be running back to
normal.
WELL FRIENDS THIS WHAT I HAVE DONE ON MY IPOD AND THE PROBLEM IS SORTED.
I HOPE THIS SHOULD SORT YOUR PROBLEMS AS WELL. -
i have no service and i cant activate my iphone 3gs after update to ios 5.0.1 can anyone help ??
touch me wrote:
it says ICCID: unknown
Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. -
I cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1
i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1
I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work. The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem? -

I cant get my iphone 5 to be compatible with my mac book pro. When I plug the iphone 5 in it tells me that i need a newer version of itunes 10.7 and I currently have 10.6. I checked for updates in my itunes and it says i dont have any. So i have gone to the itunes website to try and redownload itunes which i believe it 11.7. When I try and download that version it tells me the software on my computer doesn't suppor that version. I try to update my software and it says there is not software updates available right now. Is there anyway I can get my iphone 5 to synce to my itunes?
In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater. -
I cant get my iphone to show up in my itunes. I downloaded the new update last night and I havent been able to sync it since
See section 5 of TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
If that doesn't help it may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
