I'm stuck at the activation stage! I don't have the original sim card and I don't know what carrier it was originally on! How can I get into my phone?
I was wondering if there was any way of accessing my iPhone 4 without a micro sim card. I am currently at the activating section, and after it tells you to find WIFI, it says to enter a sim card. I bought this iPhone off of my friend and he took out his original sim card! I dont know what carrier he was using. Is there any way I can access the phone just to play music on it for now?
Buy a H20 Wireless micro SIM card off eBay for $.99. You can activate the phone/SIM from their website. H2O uses AT&Ts network.

HT1212 My iPhone has been disabled because of a forgotten passcode how can I get into my phone
My iPhone has been locked because I forgot my passcode. How can I get into my phone?
Restore it as explained in the article you were just reading. If you're running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808).

I locked myself out of my phone and am out of the country without access to a computer only an iPad to email and access iCloud how can I get into my phone
Hi Myreiac,
Here's what the Apple Support site says you can do if you do not have access to a computer when your device has been disabled:
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.
You can access Find My iPhone via the Find My iPhone app on your iPad.
Good luck!
Cheers,

HT5100 my iphone 4s is locked how can i get into my phone
my phone is locked and im not able to do aanything,
How can i get the itunes logo off the main screenIf you mean activation lock, the only way to activate it is to enter the ID and password that were used to activate it originally. If you are not the original owner, you'll have to contact that person for that information, or to have them erase it and remove it from their account as explained here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. No one else can help you with this and there is no way around it.

How can I get into my phone if I cant use the touch screen?
I went to go use my phone and when I attempted to get to the screen to type in my passcode, the area to swipe didnt work. The only feature that "works" is the little arrow on the bottom to get to the brightness feature, etc. I cannot turn my phone off manually or adjust anything on the screen itself. I cant even get to the emergency call screen. Im not sure if restoring the phone through itunes will delete anything I currently have on there... Please help!
Hi eskimoerin,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have not already, first try resetting your iPhone using these steps:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the article with these steps here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the touchscreen is still unresponsive after your iPhone resets, use these steps to back up the data on the device and restore it using iTunes:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
All the best,

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.facebook.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.It is always a good idea to back up your bookmarks, if you are able to do that now it may help, and if you are considering using them in an alternative browser it may be a good idea to back them up as HTML as well as the default .json files.
* see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
Have you read the articles shown in my first message above with the blue clickable links. One of the first things to try is using Firefox in firefox [[safe mode]] which should be available from your program list, BUT when trying that on the first dialogue do not make changes just click on continue.
*Does that work ?
* did you see the list of options and click on the continue button ?
* are you seeing any error messages ? -

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????
It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this. -
I recently forgot a new passcode on my phone so it became locked. i went to rest this via itunes but when it came to restore the phone non of my data including contacts, apps, messages, photos etc are available. It seems to have restored to a back up from after the phone was wiped. How can i get these back?
There's one other variable, although it shouldn't really come in to play but worth checking anyway. Is it possible that the backup was made using a higher version of iOS than the one you are running now? For example, if you were running the iOS 7 beta, then restored to version 6.1.3, the backup would not be listed as you cannot restore to a backup made on a device running a higher version of iOS. If that's the case, you would have to update to the same or higher version of iOS in order to access your backup.
Also, you can redownload apps and certain other purchased media (in most countries) as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. -
My phone was stolen. How can I get my photos off the iCloud with Snow Leopard.
Welcome to the Apple Community
You can't, if the photos are in photostream you need a compatible device, if they are in a backup, you can only use the backup to restore to a new device.
