IPhone 4 won't work after i used restore

Today I changed my iPhone passcode, and now I can't remember it. (dumb move, I know) but after I googled a couple things they all said I had to restore. So, I did and afterwards it made me choose my language, country, etc. and then says "Activating your iPhone. It may take up to three minutes to activate your iPhone" after a while, it then says at the top "Could Not Activate iPhone" and then in the middle "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." Meanwhile, it is connected to iTunes, it just won't show up. PLEASE help, I'm getting so frustrated and I don't know what else to do.

I got it from the Verizon store, and they activated it and everything for me before i left the store. But I just restored it to reset the passcode. Except now, it says it can't activate.

  • My 8GB iPod won't work after I clicked restore on iTunes?!

    I clicked restore on itunes as my iPod had two/three lots of the same songs on it and i just wanted to wipe the memory and start again by putting all my albums on. Now it won't work as it says there was a problem with recovery and it's in safe mode and just keeps referring me to queries that are far too technical for me to understand.  How could this happen?

    It states an unknown error occurred (1) and shows a tab saying, more information. But despite restarting both my mac and iPod.....it still won't work and just has an apple icon on the iPod......

  • Back up corrupted and won't work after trying to restore when updated to 5.0.1?

    I uprayed my iPod Touch to iOs 5.0.1 last night, all was going well until it got stuck at the "Connect with iTunes" screen. iTunes recognized the itouch and everything was fine in iTunes but the itouch screen wouldn't change. So I restore it back to factory setting and set it up as a new iPod touch since the 'Connect with iTunes' screen would not go away. I started to Restore from Back up from iTunes after its been connected to iTunes, now with the 'Connect to iTunes' screen gone. Halfway in, a message popped up saying that the back up has been corrupted or can't be used with the iPod touch. I lost everything. Can someone please help me with this?!

    I can't find the preferences section of itunes. where is it because it isn't at the very top of the screen and I didn't see it anywhere else. i hasn't told me that the back-up is corrupted so I don't know about that. I just know that it always comes up with the error message 50 when I try to get the back-up restored to it.

  • My iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    my iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

  • Iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1

    Please help. My iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1.. I already connected it to my pc but still didn't open. I waited for a long time, press the on/off, home buttons but still didn't work. Thanks Jah bless all..

    Honsetly I do not know if they will charge you, however apple products usually have a one year warranty, such as your charging cable, might. But if you tried to use another charging cable then you will want to make an appointment with Apple. good luck

  • Iphone 5 won't charge after being dead for three days.

    Iphone 5 won't charge after being dead for three days due to power cable breaking. I got a new cable and it still will not charge. Is my phone broken in any way? What can I do to fix this?

    Hey TalkBack12,
    These are the recommended troubleshooting steps I found for when your battery does not charge:
    Battery does not charge
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.

    Since you got a new cable, I would concentrate on trying a cable other than the new one.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

  • I just installed Lion 3 days ago, now my audio won't work, unless I use headphones, also space bar glitches, and other software issues..MacBook Pro 15 inch, and most everything is messed,,but the audio is killing me.

    I installed Lion a few days ago, ever since then my audio won't work, unless I use my headphones.  Also, the saver screen with password changes frequently, and the space bar works when it wants to.  There are many other issues I am having.  My IPhoto,,does not work properly, pages is not working, I have all versions.  The Office Suite is acting strange, and my email accounts work when they want,,,my IPhone 4 won't sync anymore.  The list is endless...does anyone else have this problem?

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • Button won't work after calling another swf

    Hey!
    I have a scene where multiple buttons appear.
    One of them calls a  different swf file with loadMovie(). The other swf has a button that  uses the same function to return to the original swf (i have created a  swf for every scene of the original fla and so I can return to the exact  scene where I was). Another button in my original scene just calls another scene  of the same swf with gotoAndPlay.
    So far so good.
    The problem is that after I go forth and back to the external swf, using the 1st button, the  other button (that sends the user to another scene) won't work. It just  does nothing.
    (Although every other button in the scene keeps working).
    Using AS2 in CS5 (don't ask why i didn't use AS3 - noob).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Ok, the whole scene has a simple loop to keep it running..
    The first button has:
    on (release)
    loadMovie("game.swf",1);
    The button on the external swf has:
    on (release)]
    stopAllSounds();
    loadMovie("project_games.swf",1);     //I have a swf for the original scene to connect the external swf directly with it, rather the whole project swf
    The other button in my original scene (the one that doesn't work after the use of the above two):
    on (release)
    gotoAndPlay("begin",1);                 //begin is the name of a scene in the project
    That's it.
    THanks for your reply my friend.
    Any ideas?

  • Mission Control won't work after sleeping.  Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by track pad or keyboard.

    Since updating, Mission Control won't work after sleeping.  Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by trackpad or keyboard. I'm sure I use Mission Control more than most, so it's really irritating for me.

    No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
    What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.

  • Iphone 3G wifi not working after upgrade

    Iphone 3G wifi not working after software upgrade, no proper fix from Apple. APPLE SUPPORT - R U SLEEPING.......

    You are not talking to Apple. This is a user to user forum.
    If you're using the iPhone 3G, there will be no fix for your problem. The software you have, 4.2.1, is the end of the line for the 3G. Apple is no longer providing software updates for the 3G.

  • HT204350 scanner won't work after upgrade

    scanner won't work after upgrade

    Hey srohall,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your scanner after updating to OS X Mavericks. To troubleshoot this issue, we’ll want to follow the same troubleshooting steps for printers:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
