I upgraded My 3GS to ios 5.0.1 but it won't activate and just tells me to try again later because the activationserver is down
I upgraded My 3GS to ios 5.0.1 but it won't activate and just tells me to try again later because the activationserver is down. I have tried both with and without a SIM and it still doesn't work. I also tried connecting it to itunes but it didn't help.
Anyone how knows what to do?
Activation issues are typically the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

It sounds a lot like your phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before you updated.
Was it? -
Hello,
Can anyone help? I cannot install ioS 7.1 on my ipad2, message displayed "software update is not available at this time. Try again later".
ThanksAn iOS update to version 7.1.1 was just released. The update servers might be too busy at the time you tried to update. ID suggest waiting until later in the day and then try again.

HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! "An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." appears while attempting to upgrade or install BlackBerry Device Software. upgrading my Z10 OS to 10.3 on both (link & web). but facing same problem again and again. plz help. internet speed is 1mbps and working fine.
I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!

Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution? (No jailbreak)
Most of the time the iphone cannot reach any network and when it can, there is no data transfer, I can only make calls and sms.Skizofrenias wrote:

If you've been using your phone as recommended your contacts should still be on your computer (in Outlook or Address Book) or with a cloud service like Google or MobileMe. Just synch them back.

How can upgrade my 3gs to ios 5
how can upgrade my 3gs to ios 5
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

As a 20 year customer of ours, we certainly appreciate your loyalty Richey_Rich. I know the importance of ensuring you have a properly operating phone. Can you please clarify which button on the device is not working? Is there any physical or water damage to your phone? Any applications that stay running?
Thank You,

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPhone under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care. what is this thing?i try to upgrade my ios to 6.1 from 5.1.1,after i do this,i cant connect to iTunes although i had and have a internet connectionThis message indicates that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

hi ive upgraded my itouch to ios 6.1.3 but it keeps crashing ounce i put my passcode in is there a way i can fix this? one of my friends mentioed downgrading it but the only way isnt supported by apple so i dont feel safe with it so plzz help me.
it has worked fine no problems till i updated it i tried restoring itwith my old backup but it doesnt move the ios back so it just keeps on craching when i try to unlock itTry:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I upgrade the iOs on my ipad1 to version5? I've tried through itunes many times, but I get a message that says that the download was interrupted and i should try again later. Can i download the iOS file to my PC and transfer it to the ipad? How should I do that?
Thank you!
Disabling firewall and AV did the trick!
Kudos.

All media should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync it back.
