Ios 5 update no network no activation

ios 5 update no network no activation.what to do?

I had exactly the same problem when updating my iPhone4. Have you tested your SIM in another phone? I did, and also checked with O2- they confirmed SIM was OK.Got a replacement phone an hour ago from Apple Store, sure enough my SIM worked in the replacement!
BUT- I only got a replacement because my phone was still under warranty. Had it not been, I would have been charged for a replacement! I think this is pretty scandalous of Apple to do this when all I did was try to update their software! I've now successfully restored my phone to iOS4 from a backup. I will leave it til the dust settles for a few days before I attempt another upgrade! My advice is therefore if your warranty is out, don't upgrade!

IOS 5 update issues "Network Connection could not be established"

Keep getting error, "Network Connection cannot be established". I thought last night was possibly do to,
server being busy. But at 06:30 this morning same error. MY info: Itunes 10.6, Iphone 4S 5.01 Connected directly to my Macbook and internet connection is fine. Does anyone have or had same issue or ideas?

Means go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
change DNS by adding ( + )
208.67.222.222
then
208.67.220.220
click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

Could be a DNS problem. The DNS you use at homemight not have the Apple server entered correctly. See:

What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

How to update Ipad 2 from IOS 4.3.5 to IOS 5. Itunes won't let me do it because it keeps showing error messages asking me to check if my network is active.

how to update Ipad 2 from IOS 4.3.5 to IOS 5? Itunes won't let me do it because it keeps showing error messages asking me to check if my network is active.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

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 iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad 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 antivirus 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 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

HT1937 I have updated to iOS 7 my iMessages waitng for activation a swell as FaceTime

Can anyone help I'm having problems with iPhone 5 I updated to iOS 7 and not getting iMessage or FaceTime waiting for activation message

I have update two Iphone5's. Both updates to ios 7. One is working as expected and the other is having activation errors for imessage and Facetime. The phone that has the issues (receiving error texts from +44 7860 015000 when you start the phone and from time to time) didn't successful update the network carrier settings when updating to ios7. Both phones have the same 02 carrier settings 02 15.1. I've googled the error and it seems a common global problem. Must be corrupted Apple servers not update the carrier settings problem. HELP.

Problems with wifi networks, need a fix in new iOS 7 update.

Can Apple make a new feature for Wifi networks that has a button for disconnect from this network in new iOS 7 update? Because it irratering me when you want to disconnect from iPhone to iPad shared wifi network, you have to delete the network or it will be stuck for forever until you turn it off on iPhone. So long i know iPad is affected to this, but it can happen to iPhone too.
And one more thing, I want to have a device list that you can kick them out on only shared wifi network like iPhone to iPad.

Unless I'm missing something obvious, can't you just turn on Airplane mode? Or maybe just turn off Wi-Fi on the device if you need cell access to remain enabled?

My phone 4s won't connect to home network after ios 6 update

Okay, right after I downloaded the new ios 6 update my phone has been unable to connect to my home wifi. I already did the whole switching my router from WPA to WEP and did the whole forget this network. When I selected my network again, it asked for my password, which I put in correctly. Right after the loading star popped up beside it and thats how it stayed. Can anyone help me out on this? Be much appreciated.

Reset your iPhone. Hold Sleep Key and Home Key together for more than 15 sec. Now try your App Store again.

Why don't you ask your best friend to rectify the issue? Oh, your best friend isn't Apple? Well neither are the users on this forum. APPLE IS NOT HERE

HT4623 can i update my ios software in 3g network not in wi fi.

can i update my ios software in 3g network not in wi fi

Oops, sorry this is not possible!
Yes, it is very silly but the iPad 1 does not have enough ram to cope with ios 6 or 7. Every other iPad can go upto ios 7 except iPad 1, which stays as ios 5.1.1
I recommend upgrading ur iPad, if u can't afford it maybe then u can always sell your iPad and use that money to buy a new one!!
Hope it helps,
Bye

TS1398 My iPhone 4s will no longer pick up or connect to any WiFi network. The WiFi button isn't greyed out or dimmed but the phone won't pick up any of the networks I have been connected to. I have updated to iOS 7, reset the network settings but no luck

The WiFi button is not greyed out or dimmed but the phone won't pick up or connect toany of the networks I have previously been connected to. I have updated to iOS 7, reset the network settings but no luck. Any suggestions?

If it's grayed out:
Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.
