If you're having activation difficulties, ...

So I just got off the phone with at&t support, and after a 5 minute conversation with first tier tech support, my phone is syncing and i've received several calls thus far.
There are various things that can be causing problems with your iPhones, there's no magic incantation you can perform to get it working. Rebooting it, rebooting your computer, all is a waste and if it appears to help, it's purely coincidental.
Call them. They can sort it out. There are three numbers I now have which have proven useful.
1) iPhone activation, this is the line where the guy was able to expedite activation for me: 877-800-3701.
2) Tech support, this is pretty much useless until tomorrow, they closed around 5pm edt: 800-331-0500.
3) iPhone support, this is good to know, but is useless until it's successfully activated: 877-419-4500.
I hope this helps people, but really, if you've been waiting 6+ hours, then chances are somethings wrong and it won't just sort itself out. Call them.

    If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
    updating to iOS 6:
    iOS 6.0.1
    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    USA
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does It mean?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Airtel 13.0

    It would be better for troubleshhoting if you posted back to your original question.... here

  • Trial expired while having active cloud membership

    Hello,
    I suddenly get the notification that my software trials have expired. This while I have an active cloud membership, so this doesn't make sense. Haven't been using the trials for over 8 months.
    Bottomline, I can't start my programs and can't get any work done.
    Please advise,
    With kind regards,
    Tom Paulussen

    Hi Dave,
    Is it possible that upon deactivating one software program (Illustrator) all the other ones are also deactivated?
    I just bought a new iMac and want to install my software on this computer. because I have only 1 license, I need to deactivate them on my old iMac. Now that I',ve done this, I log in into my account, and I can't seem to access the overview screen of my cloud membership where i can see all the icons of the software programs to install.
    How do I access this? I think I first need to install the application manager, but don't see where i can do this.
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
    Can you launch Adobe Application Manager from either the Start menu (Win) or Applications folder (Mac), sign in with your Adobe ID and install all available product updates.
    Can you license products launching in trial by clicking the "License this software" button and signing in with your Adobe ID?
    -Dave

  • I am having severe difficulties downloading iTunes..... can any one help.  OS windows 7

    I am having severe difficulties in downloading itunes..... can any help.  Working on windows 7, and just keep getting various error messages.  Have uninstalled and tried reinstalling but still no luck

    Check if the "Windows Modules Installer" service is started. If not, try to start it from the services console. If you receive an error "1450 Insufficient System resources" error, then follow this steps:
    1) Open regedit and replace the following value:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
    Key: RegistrySizeLimit
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 0xFFFFFF (4294967295)
    2) Reboot
    3) Open a command prompt as administrator and run SFC /SCANNOW to check the integrity of system modules.
    4) Install pending windows updates
    I hope it fixes your problem

    hey I just lost my phone. My question is, how can I delete it without having activated iCloud?

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

    After upgrading to the latest ios my imessage and facetime apps do not function.....any one having similar difficulties?

    Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
    Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
    If running, turn your computer off.
    Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
    Now start your computer but also;
    '''Windows; '''Press the <F8> key repeatedly.
    '''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
    '''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted
    into various run levels that determine which resources are loaded.
    For example, "runlevel 1" is typically the equivalent to Windows and
    Mac safe modes.
    * Source; '''[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Linux+Safe+Mode Safe Mode; Free Online Encyclopedia]'''
    When the '''Boot''' menu is displayed, release the key you were pressing.
    You must now choose what mode to use. The most used are;
    * Safe Mode; The computer runs with only a minimum set of programs.
    * Safe Mode '''With '''Networking; Same as above, but with internet access.

    For reasons that you would have to ask Apple for they decided not to allow the precise position of the playhead to be shown in iMovie 10 (unlike in FCP 10.1.x).

  • Cannot activate my computer with my Adobe ID after having activated my ebook reader

    I cannot activate my computer with my Adobe ID after having activated my ebook reader with the same ID. I get the error message: "You cannot authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that was previously used to authorize another compuer or moblie device". Shouldn't it be possible to use the same ID on more than just one device? I would like to read the same book on my ebook reader and on my computer.

    Unfortunately, you de-authorized your computer but NOT your items.
    Once a book is accessed on one ID, it cannot be used on another ID.
    I am afraid you may be stuck ... if you are lucky the vendors will give you a second chance.
    ~~~
    This is a vicious trap that Adobe lays for unsuspecting customers.
    When you register 'without ID', ADE creates an anonymous/implicit ID with limited powers (eg can't be used to share with other devices).
    Whenever you first load a DRM book, that copy of the book is associated with whatever ID the computer is registered to at the time.
    Any book you load while this anonymous ID is active gets associated with that ID, and can't be read on any other device.
    When you properly register your computer with a real ID, that old anonymous ID is lost.
    Now you don't have any devices that can read the book.
    I think that even if you de-authorize again and revert to anynomous authorization, it will be a different anonymous ID, but worth a try.
    Not helpful for you if reverting to anonymous doesn't help, but general comment that might help other readers .....
    The only way I know round this is to use a DRM stripper such as epubee BEFORE you deauthorize the device.
    I do NOT advocate using such code to get around the valid limitations placed on a DRM book.
    However, where the problem arises only because of the ineptness of Adobe's ADEPT DRM infrastructure and its implementation,
    such a measure is totally justifiable.

  • Having very difficult time transferring pictures and videos from iPhone 4s to Windows 7!

    Hello, after spending over 6 hours trying to transfer all of the files from my 64 gb 4s I have finally given up and decided to seek help here because I have researched just about every help site and/or forum site and there just doesn't seem to be a logical answer.
    First I tried using a program called "Phone to PC" and it would keep giving me an error that my iTunes was not open and it was clearly open. It asked me to restart my computer and try again and still no go!
    Then I paid for an app called Photosync which seemed to work great at first but anytime a video would try to transfer 100/100 times it would error out towards the end of the file transfer saying that my WiFi connection lost when everything was looking good on my end.
    Then I read a post somewhere to use drop box and I went ahead and paid the $9.99 price for 100gb and I'm literally transferring the pictures as we speak and the sad thing is that it is only uploading the pictures in my Camera Roll and not in my photo library.
    So I have about 400 pictures in my camera roll and 4,149 pictures in my photo library. It seems as if I have no problems at all getting the pictures from my camera roll but for the life of me I cannot get to the photo library.
    When I click on the iPhone from "My Computer" the only files that show up are my camera roll.
    I can't believe I am having such a hard time getting these files transferred! I damaged my old laptop that had all those pictures on it and went and bought a terabyte to back everything up on in case I lose my iPhone and I have wasted almost an entire day trying to figure out and I cant seem to find any answers.
    Could someone please make me feel like the biggest idiot and tell me there is an easy way and that I was just completely blind???
    These pictures mean so much to me...most from my wedding, honeymoon, birth of my son, and my sons whole first year.
    The videos are equally important as the videos are the reason for my 64 gb only having about 4 gb left
    PLEASE HELP ME

    Have you tried transferringing the videos via usb (sinc you're having trouble transferring them with PhotoSync) as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 and just transferring the photos with PhotoSync?

  • TS3276 I get Apple Mail through having activated POP in gmail. Since a week, when I click on "Get Mail", after a delay I see brielfly flashing "Incoming message 70 etc." but it dissapears and no mails gets downloaded. How to proceed?

    I get Apple Mail through having activated POP in gmail. Since a week, when I click on "Get Mail", after a delay I see brielfly flashing "Incoming message 70 or whathever the number in waiting is." and the green band extends to the end of the line in a fraction of a seconde, but then dissapears and no mails gets downloaded. It is not a matter of password etc.. that are all OK. Strangely, yesterdays, some email did come through after a few days of failure, but not anymore. Could it be related to hacking or something like that? Any thing I could try?
    I have OX 10.6.8.

  • I need Active X plug-in for some features my brokerage website for Jave and Adobe Reader to properly function. You have blocked Active X. How do I get it to wo

    My brokerage requires Active X in order for Adobe Reader and Java to function. Without Active X neither work. After a lengthy session with their tech staff I was told to contact you or use IE. I hate IE. IE is the whole reason I got FF back when you folks first updated it to FF 0.7. That was in early '04. I haven't looked back. I HATE IE!
    PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO USE IE.
    If Active X is so bad, why does Google Chrome use it? Is it not a security thing but rather a licensing issue?

    Firefox does not support ActiveX. It's proprietary so that's why. But I found a solution for you. Download this http://code.google.com/p/ff-activex-host/downloads/detail?name=ffactivex-setup-r39.exe&can=2&q=
    This will allow you to have Active X working.
