IPhone 5 Activation Error
Hi
My wife's iphone 5 shows an activation error that this device is not registered as a part of the iPhone developer program please register at developer program portal. Interesingly she is not developer but my son got a password from a friend (who is a developer) to download iOS7 beta version (how cool) which he downloaded on his phone and moms phone but forgot to download latest iOS7 version on my wife's phone. Any solution.
Thanks
You are getting the error because you have a beta version of iOS 7 that expired yesterday. We've had hundreds of posts about this over the past 18 hours. If you are a developer, and thus have a legitimate copy of iOS 7 beta, go to the Developer's forum, where there are detailed instructions on how to resolve this. Or have your son's developer friend do it.
It's likely that you have an illegal pirated copy of iOS 7, unless you were actively helping the developer test software; you are on your own, because we are not permitted to support stolen software in this Apple-hosted forum. There are solutions, but you will have to find them elsewhere. Start with "DFU mode"

Problems with iPhone 3G Activation , Error Message (-50), Need HELP!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I bought the iphone 3G yesterday through Virgin Mobile. I was told to activate my iphone I need to sync it with iTunes.
I plugged in my iPhone and it try to sync for a while then an error message pops up. (*We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured. (-50).There was an error in iTumes store. Please try again later*.)
I've tried several things, reinstalling iTunes, change the options in my internet browser (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5), turn off my anti-virus software. But the problem still occur.
I can access iTunes store and my playlists etc, but when I click on Sign-in and then click on create new account the same error message pops up again.
I've tried to run diagnostics on iTumes. It says that secure link to iTunes store failed. I've passed all connectivity and sync test. Below is the details,

Anyone have an idea of what's happening please let me know. I really want to start using my iphone.
Thanks heaps
BecNo need to SHOUT. The cable is the one used to connect your iPhone to your PC. Suggest getting another one.
The problem may be that you're using USB to connect to the internet. It's too slow and will cause problems when you have other high speed USB connections. Use an Ethernet connection to your modem/router. For additional troubleshooting, see these Apple support articles:

I just got an apple at&t iphone 4 and I have it unlocked. But I want to connect it to t-mobile, so I trimmed my sim card and once the phone was unlocked I inserted the sim and it says no sim, activation error. What can I do to fix this? What is wrong?

As you addressed me that is exactly what I said
Dodgy trimming ?? get a new micro sim from T-Mobile -
my Iphone 4 will not start up, when i connect it to itunes i says : Activation error This device is not registered as part of the iPhone Developer Program.If you are a member of the Program, please register your device in the iPhone Developer Program Port
Well, you downloaded a bootleg copy of iOS 7 beta and have installed it on your phone without being a developer. It has bricked your phone and you cannot get help here because doing what you did has voided your warranty. Have a nice day.

I am receiving an Activation Error and unable to get into my phone.It's asking me to register my phone in the iPhone Developer program however I'm already registered. How do I move forward?
Hi, jsgladden.
Here is an article I would recommend when experiencing issues activating a device. The step referring to recovery mode usually resolves the issue.
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424
To retrieve your data, you will need to restore from backup after processing these steps. Here is the article that walks you through restoring from either your iCloud or iTunes backup.

HT4623 Why does my iphone say "Activation Error" during the updating process?
after updating my iphone, the process is like asking the language, then the country, and then the wifi right? after i connected to the wifi, i pressed "next" then it says "Activating your Iphone" then suddenly it says "Activation Error". what does this mean? can i just restore the previous version of this iphone again?
You cannot install the previous version. "Activaton error" usually means that the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to. It is now locked again to that carrier.

My iphone 5 says activation error. why? how can i fix this?
I downloaded the ios 7 beta version with my friends and now a few months later my iphone 5 is saying activation error. i really need my phone back soon.
Well, now you see the downside of stealing software. The iOS 7 beta releases have expired. You will have to install the GM release. But, as you have pirated software, it can't be discussed in an Apple-hosted forum.

Im from Philippines and my iphone is from Japan after I updated it to iOs 6.1.3 it wont activate it says ''Activation Error Please Contact Customer Care'' what does it mean? How can I activate it? Please help me.
You can NOT unlock it. Only the carrier it is locked to can legally authorize unlocking it and the Japanese carriers will not do so.
In order to be using it previously with a non Japanese carrier, the phone had to be hacked to illegally unlock it. You can not get help here.
Buy a new phone you can use. -

Is your iPhone a Factory Unlocked iPhone or Locked to a Service Provider ?
Have you tried Restoring your iPhone by taking your device in Recovery Mode ?
You can Contact Apple Support Team via Chat Support or you can call their Support Number. -

IPhone 3Gs Activation error (original owner)
I have an iPhone 3gs and my Grandmother (who was the original owner) took it to ATT and had them unlock it so I could use it with a different company but as we were leaving the store the ATT guy said he forgot to finish unlocking it but it was simple to do so he'd send us an email with instructions. I activated it and used it on straight talk for a few months till I realized it wouldnt send picture messages so I decided to pull up the email and finish activavating it so the email told me to take my sim card out, back up the phone then factory reset it to compleate the unlock but now that I try to start it back up it says activation error, activation request could not be completed. I have my sim card in it that I've used with this phone for a few months and still nothing. I live 8 hours away from where the ATT store is we had it unlocked so I cant go back there, and I only have this phone so I cant make any calls to anyone for help so WHAT DO I DO?!
Same problem! it is a problem with the apple server at the moment,we just have to wait and keep trying.Too bad it is not covered by warranty anymore.

FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?
Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved
