Iphone 5 says "device unknown" when doing the setup

I try to do the initial setup of my Iphone. When I get to the part of inserting a sim card, the phone "searches" and after a while he says: device unknown, and that I have to contact an apple store...
Anyone knows what this means?

this is what they just send me:
Hi Robert,
From what we were able to find out, it looks like the micro SIM in your phone is not seated correctly. Please take the phone into your nearest carrier store and have them check the SIM card to make sure it is seated properly. If this still does not work have the carrier replace the SIM card.
Thanks Again,
Lorraine
but I think that's not going to work, because I already tried it with 2 different simcards, and so have you with your simcard from hongkong and the Canadian.

What is the mean if iphone say device unknown

I need ANS of pleade

The phone says no such thing.
What is really the problem? Please provide more details if help is actually desired.

HT3887 why does my iPhone say device not supported when connecting to my make even after it has successfully paired?

why does my iphone say device not supported when connecting to my mac pro, even though it has already succesfuly paired? I also use a wirless bluetooth keyboard and mouse on the computer successfully.
Also when I turn Bluetooth on on the phone the devices cog never stops turning (forever serching for a device)

iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer.
It couldn't be much easier than that as you don't actually have to do anything more than normal.
This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
USB syncing is far faster than Bluetooth.

Hey there ejs11201,
I see that you are getting an error code when attempting to restore your iPhone. Here is an article that addresses that specific code with some troubleshooting steps and will help you resolve the issue:
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

I have a new device. When selecting the language and country I am trying to connect to a wifi connection and getting the error 'Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting to your Iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.

Where exactly did you get this phone?
Do you have a SIM in the phone?
There are 2 primary causes for this.
Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it.

I resetted my iphone 5s and now it says device unknown. What should i do?

I havent had service for 2 days now (tmobile), one of the technicians told me to do a reset and so i did but now it says device unknown and directed me to the "Service Answer Center" link. What should I do?

iOS 7 is a developer Beta only, it can only be installed by registered developers, and issues with the beta can only be discussed in the private Developer forums.
If you are not a developer, we can't help you as the forum rules prohibit us from discussing the Beta version issues here, and you forfeited support including help from these forums by installing a beta software not intedned for final users at this time.
There is nothing we can do to help here. You are on your own.

When does the new version of J2EE will be available?

Hi,
Do you know, When does the new version of J2EE will be available?
Who can we ask for improvements or fixes? Or it is just the people that has bought suport?
I hope they can release 'pingConnectionPool' code, so people can trace jdbc driver problems.
Thanks,
Lorenzo Jim�nez

Thanks for your concern,
Well, to tell the truth, the same driver is working ok in the application server without a connection pool with "connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password)".
Also works ok on IBM websphere, Jakarta Tomcat, with or without pool. Its is just Sun's connection pool. Also I have seen other threads showing JSK 1.4 is not quite compatible like this one:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=136&thread=499803&tstart=0&trange=15
I tried every conceivable parameter; even I looked at the proper documentation at
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/index.htm?info/rzahh/page1.htm
and forums, and it seems that no one can know or can help us about this error because is particulary at Sun app server. So this is the server.log:

Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
Heading Import Results
Some import operations were not performed
Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
then a description of the image with file name
Box Save As Box OK
If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
Thanks if you can can help out.

Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?
