I just bought my Iphone amd i can't activate it, activation request fails and ITunes too, what shall i do?
activation request
Hey there agusvrancic,
It sounds like you are not able to activate your phone. You can use the troubleshooting in the following article to help get it activated:
Get help activating your iPhone
If your carrier provided a SIM card, make sure it's in your iPhone.
Restart the iPhone.
Try to reach the activation server another way, then try to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you can't activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you can't activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
Check the system status for iOS Device Activation. If the iOS Device Activation status isn't green, try activating your iPhone later.
If you receive an alert message when you try to activate your iPhone, place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you still can't complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
If you're asked to enter a password to proceed with activating the iPhone, Activation Lock might be enabled as part of Find my iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

HT1296 i just bought an iphone... can i download music on my mac to it?
i just bought an iphone... can i download music on my mac to it?
Sure. First you have to downlad and install iTunes (Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now), then import your music into your iTunes library. Then connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar click on its name, go to the Music tab to the right and check Sync music, then sync your phone by clicking the Sync button on the bottom right. You might also want to spend some time looking through the manual: iPhone User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software).

That is normal for purchasing apps for a device not previously associated with your Apple ID.

i tried to restore my iphone 3GS with the OS 5.1.1 but failed and itunes show an unknow error (29), what can i do? my phone is usless now
Somebody help!What happened when you connected your iPhone to your computer while running iTunes on your computer? You should be prompted through the restore process. If it doesn't work try getting your iPhone into Recovery Mode.

I just bought an iphone 5 but can't get sync to itunes. Help!
I just bought an iPhone 5 today. I plugged in the phone to sync to itunes on my Macbook but I got a screen telling me I need the iTunes 7 update. I downloaded the update but it cannot install because my OS is not 10.6.8 or later. I currently have 10.5.8. I bought this Macbook in early 2008 but never bothered to upgrade the OS. What do I need to do to update my OS on my Macbook to sync my iPhone 5? Will I have to pay for the update? I'm lost and don't know what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Settings > Sounds > Ringer and Alerts is set above the lowest level correct?
First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem. -
hi i have just bought an iphone 4 off the web have been told its dual sim and doies not have itunes is this a dodgy iphone??
If it does indeed have dual SIM slots, it's a fake. No iPhone has ever had more than one SIM slot.

I have an ipod and an ipad. I tried simply putting the data on these portable devices but they would only accept a small fraction of them. For example, I tried dragging a picture into itunes and I got an error that said this file cant be played in itunes.
Help here > Transferring music from a Windows computer
You need to sync your photos using iTunes.
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
For example, I tried dragging a picture into itunes and I got an error that said this file cant be played in itunes.
iTunes doesn't support that file type.

Your iPhone is locked to the original carrier who sold it
Only they can unlock it
The sim the iPhone refers to is the one the iPhone is locked to
You will have to contact them -
I just bought a Iphone 5 -- my Iphone 4 and my ipad used to automatically sinc calendars via the Icloud whenever I entered anything on either device -- I can not get the new phone to do this.I have check the settings on both devices and they seem to be t
There are only two things that you must do to connect a device to calendars:
1) In settings>icloud, you must log in, WITH THE CORRECT ID/PASSWORD, and
2) Turn on calendars on the same page.
You said that the iphone 4 and ipad **used** to automatically sync. Do they no long sync? -

A Verizon corporate store can provide you with a nano SIM and activate it for you. Corporate stores do not charge for SIMS. I don't know what a reseller might or might not do. -

I tried its not working can anyone pls help me i judt wanns be able to use my uphone to tje fullest of its abilitys!!!
iOS 4.2.1 is the final version of iOS that an iPhone 3G will run, so you will not be able to use any apps that require iOS 4.3 or later. There is no way to get any later version of iOS onto your iPhone without serious hacking, something we cannot discuss here.
You do not get the option to update iOS directly from an iPhone until you have iOS 5 or later.

If you are using English as your language, then Siri should be available.
Have you registered your iPhone with Apple? If not, please do to confirm that you in FACT have an iPhone 4S.
