Imessage on iPhone 4S won't activate after iOS 7.0.3 installation

I finally had my imessage working after the first ios7 update, now after updating to .0.3 it will not work. This is getting a bit ridiculous. Please give me a fix.

  • HT4623 iPhone 4S won't start after iOS 6.01 update any ideas

  • 4S won't activate after iOS 5.1 update

    Updated yesterday.
    Update finished but my iphone 4s keeps asking me for configuration and won't activate.
    I select the wireless network. Connection is fine. Even SIM unlock happens.
    It says it is OK to use it now. I click on it and it returns back to configure screen again.
    It is in a loop.
    Configure-You can use it-Configure-You can use it-Configure and on and on.
    I restored the iphone using iTunes but no lock. If I restore it from backup or icloud backup the situation is the same.
    If I set it up as new iphone I can open it but this time I loose everything.
    I have backups but I cannot use the phone if I install them.
    This is really frustrating.
    Can I get back to 5.01 somehow. I want to use my phone and I don't want to lose my data.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    The backup you have does matter (icloud or itunes. The moment you restore from it, you are in the loop. I don't know if Siri has anything to do with it or not but mine was off.
    I talked to Apple for 50 minutes. We tried many things, no joy. The last words were that there were more people like us and if the number were enough Apple would develop and publish an update. What they suggested is to wait until the update is released, install the update and then make the restore from backup. It would work then.
    Please call Apple and create a case. We need numbers.
    I hope they take us seriously and correct this grave mistake as soon as possible.
    For those who have iCloud backup, the following works:
    Set the phone up as new device.
    Go to Settings and iCloud.
    Enter your iCloud account.
    It will ask if you would like to merge.
    If you say yes, you could at least get your contacts back.

  • Iphone 4s won't activate after restore

    The software on my phone  4s (ios 7.1, Verizon carrier) was acting buggy, so I decided to restore it. After doing so and restoring it from a backup, the phone started telling me it wasn't activated. I tried setting it up as a new phone, but the same problem continued. I've done this before (pre-ios 7) and haven't had the same problem.

    Hi Katherine,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides tips that should help you resolve the activation issue.
    Get help activating your iPhone
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
    Check the system status for iOS Device Activation. If the iOS Device Activation status isn't green, try activating your iPhone later.
    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.
    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.
    Cheers!

  • IPhone 4s won't activate after restore and update

    After trying to update my iPhone 4s to iOS7 and it crashing halfway through I had to restore the phone. Now the phone seems to have iOS 7 but while trying to set it up it comes up with 'Could Not Activate iPhone'. It's something to do with the activation sever not being able to be reached. I have no idea what any of this means and every other discussion confuses me so if someone could explain how on earth I get my bloody phone back in simple language that would be marvellous

    I have the same problem.  Have you figured it out?

  • Iphone 4 won't activate after factory restore? help, please?

    I did a restore on my iphone 4 earlier. This is the first time I have ever done a restore-I have only had this phone for about 2 weeks. However, I was having battery problems so I chose to restore.
     It went through the entire process and even came up the "activating, this may take some time" or whatever screen. It said that it had synced and it was okay to disconnect. Now, however, I have no service at all, it says that the network is unavailable, and it keeps popping up and saying that it is not activated and if it continues to call some 1800 number. It is connected to my wifi, however.
    Do I have to call the *228 number or something, like I did when I first got it? Or what? I'm really confused and frustrated...I just want my phone to work.

    Oh, and on itunes my phone number is now listed as "00000000" and a few other numbers instead of my actual phone number.
    That "00000000" number thing could be the issue, I have never activated my iPhone over iTunes (mine was preactivated when I got it), but it sounds to me that when/if iTunes goes to "activate" the phone, iTunes could be telling your iPhone that 00000000 is your actual phone number, so the iPhone self activates it thinking that is your actual number, so when that number doesn't match up with any number on Verizon's servers, it fails activation (while many may say that iTunes "activates" the phone, I am pretty sure that iTunes just forwards that information to the iPhone and automatically does the "*228" activation on it's own based on the information entered into iTunes)
    I would say yes, go ahead and try *228 opt 1 and see if that works, or see if you can change the number to your real number in iTunes

  • Iphone 3 won't activate after updating to IOS 5.0.1

    I updated my itunes to the IOS 5 last night and now i cannot activate my phone. I get as far as activating the phone itself and after it tries to activate it tells me it cannot do it as 'the activation server is temporarily unavailable'. It also tells me to try to connect it to Itunes and when i do itunes tells i do not have a SIM inserted when i do. I was told by a man who worked in a phone shop that it the software may have crashed and caused it and i should send it away but that will cost 180euro. I am going into the apple shop 2mo to see if they can do anything but would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and if so what did they do?
    Please help! I need this for college and it has everything on it! If i lose all my stuff i'm in serious trouble!
    Thanks.

    I got mine sorted. Turns out because i got it unlocked the first time getting updates via itunes causes it to restart again. Had to get it unlocked at managed to get eveything back after restoring it from itunes. Very happy cause the guy in the apple shop told me i had to call apple and pay 35euro just to talk to them! I manged to get it unlocked for only 20 and its just like it was.
    hope you're able to get yours sorted

  • Iphone won't activate after iOS 6 upgrade

    Hi all,
    Went to backup my daughters iPhone and iTunes said that a new iOS (6) was availible and I should update. I did so and follwed all the instructions. the update seemed to go well. The Phone then rebooted and started with the grey iPhone screen and it asked to be reactivated.  i again follwed procedure but I kept on getting "...iPhone could not be activated  because the activation server is temporarily unavailabe..." message. I have tried this countless times, including resetting my modem/router so I dont believ that is the apple servers.
    What is the issue and how can I restore it?
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    Did u guys get this fixed? I have a friend with exactly the same problem!
    Upgrade a 3GS on 4.1 or 4.2 (don't remember) using the latest iTunes and it patched to iOS 6.
    Once there it's stuck in activation. Since the person has no wifi but only 3G network, the only option is to activate using iTunes which doesn't work. Though that PC is perfectly connected to the internet.
    Never jailbroken... now we're thinking that actually jailbreaking might be the only fix?!

  • Iphone 3GS won't activate after update - asks for itunes, which just quits unexpectedly every time!

    I updated my iphone 3GS and now when I turn it on it just asks to be connected to itunes. Problem is when I do this, itunes unexpectedly quits every time. I've updated the laptop and it makes no difference, and I am left without a phone...really not impressed and can't wait for my upgrade to get rid of it.

    Try this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    This put's an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.  Should solve the problem if it is phone related.  If not, you may want to post in iTunes support as well.  I had a similar problem recently with an iPod touch and this fixed it.

  • IPhone 4 won't activate after restore

    I see others have asked tis question and got nowhere as someone implied the phone had been hacked. I don't understand all that but this is what just happened. My phone was with Telstra but unlocked so I could  take it away instead of my iphone 5. I had all apps etc updated then last week did restore as I'm going to sell it. I then thought I better write down IMEI number so did the language setting then connected to my wi fi but did not put my SIM in. And I got a message saying contact customer care.
    Very perplexing. The phone has not been with anyone else only in my bedside drawer and last week before restore all was fine. I'm going to put SIM in as I'm still with Telstra and try again.  Any other suggestions.

    I had to go online with Telstra and unlock. At the end it said YOUR PHONE IS UNLOCKED.  I then reinstalled all my apps etc so that I could take it away which was in APRIL. It was performing same as my iphone 5 with all apps and email coming to phone but obviously no SIM.
    Should I call Telstra. I realised I can't put SIM in as the new one is smaller.
    Very annoying as I have followed what they said.

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

    ?? iphone 5 won't activate w/itunes, wants itunes 10.7 which won't install on my IMAC (OS10.5.8)

    Yes... the iPhone 5 on iOS 6 requires iTunes 10.7 which in turn requires OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later...
