and keeps going in circles.

  • Iphone 5c suddenly requires activation

    so my iphone 5c randomly went to the original activation required screen out of nowhere while i was using the facebook app.
    ive owned the phone for a year now and nothing like this has happened before.
    also in the top left of the screen there is no service, it is constantly searching.
    ive tried turning of and on again - no luck
    ive tried activating it via wifi but it wont work, it says something about the server being down or something
    so i cant do anything
    help me

    It would almost seem like your SIM card shorted out since a SIM is needed for activation
    Can you pop it out presuming you are on a GSM carrier and check with another SIM?

  • My iPhone 4s suddenly said activation required

    I have had the phone for a year and I pulled it out of my pocket and that's what it said. I tried to reactivate it but it didn't work. I talked with someone at Apple and they said they have received a whole bunch of calls about this today. They were not able to help me. I am trying to do it through iTunes but not sure what to do. I don't want to restore as it is not backed up recently enough. Took a bunch of pictures today.

    It's because you were on the iOS 6 beta, which just expired. You'll need to get the final 6.0 release from the developer iOS portal and install it manually.

  • IPhone Could Not Be Activated

    My iPhone 5 randomly requested activation after already being activated to the canadian network sasktel. After trying to activate via wifi this is the message stated on the phone:Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavaliable. Try connecting to itunes ot activate or wait a couple minutes. Here is what is stated on iTunes: The software on the iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version. Now of course when i go to restore it says:Theres a problem downloading the software to (Halle's iPhone) The source cannot be found. The phone was on the beta of ios 7 and has been continuously updated until out of beta and to my knowledge is currently on ios 7.0.1 (it tells me it is up to date.)
    Please help!

    Repost in your native language as current post makes no sense.
    Not wise to post Serial Number or IMEI in public forum - perhaps the
    hosts will edit them out.

  • HT4623 I've tried to intall ios 7 but on the activation part on the phone i keep getting a message saying 'your iphone could not be activated becayse rge activation server cannot be researched. Try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate'

    I've tried to intall ios 7 but on the activation part on the phone i keep getting a message saying 'your iphone could not be activated becayse rge activation server cannot be researched. Try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate, or try again in a few minutes'. However when i plug my phone into the computer itunes has an error message saying 'We could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was rese. Make sure your network connection is active and try again'. How do I do this? Thanks.

    unfortunately no, a million people are attempting to update their phones right now, and thus activate them. Patience will have to suffice.
    For the future, I would recommend not updating essential work devices on the launch day

    Your IPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I have been to Telstra store 3 times and into the Mac Pro store where i am today
    No one is able to help me unless i go to melb sydney or Brisbane!
    Any help would be so very much appreciated

    That is almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

  • My 16gb iPhone 4 suddenly thinks its 8gb, what happened?

    My 16gb iPhone 4 suddenly thinks its 8gb. I've tried doing a restore but it says it can't as there isn't enough space.

    Yes, Once the iPhone 4S was released, Apple re-released the 4 in 8gig. They've just done the same thing with the 4S.
    If the problem is SMS, he should contact his carrier. If it's iMessage, does he have a data connection? I'd really need more information, though.
    What is the problem, iMessage, SMS or both? Is there an active data connection? Has he contacted his carrier to confirm his account is still set up properly? What error messages is he getting? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?
    Best of luck.

  • IPhone 5c suddenly goes into Recovery Mode

    My mother's iPhone 5c suddenly went into Recovery Mode, and when I connect to iTunes, it requests I restore to default, but My problem is I can't back up the things stored. Please help?

    An iPhone that is in recovery mode doesn't have anything to be backed up - the data is already gone
    You need to restore the iPhone.

  • My daughter's IPhone 5c suddenly went black.

    My daughter's IPhone 5c suddenly went black and won't power back up.  She took it to the Verizon store, and they could find no physical damage to explain it.  I tried a holding the on button and home button at the same time, but nothing happened.  Any suggestions?

    Hi acoan,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to resolve this issue where your daughter's iPhone 5c will not power on, I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting steps below.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • My icloud activation lock is ON my iphone, which requires an activation login to access the homescreen, but when i log in with the apple ID on the phone, it says the apple ID is not meant to unclock this iphone 5 ios 8.0.2. please help me solve this.

    Yes the phone belongs to me. It was purchased from United Kingdom Vodafone to West Africa, i had to factory unlock to use any sim in it. so it belongs to me. I did the activation myself, now after updating my iphone to the latest update, it required a user id and password to activate the phone, but anytime i enter the details, it tells me the user Id is not correct but the password is correct..

    Are you attempting to backup via iTunes on the computer or iCloud?

  • The calendar on my iPhone 4s suddenly went blank and says NoEvents anywhere. What happened and how do I get the information back?

    The calendar on my iPhone 42 suddenly went blank and says No Events. How do I get my data back?

    I've been having the same problem every 3-4 months: the calendar app seems to hang up, I either reset the app/phone or wait it out, then presto! all internal calendar entries have been deleted. Unlike others in this thread and elsewhere, I am not using iCloud.
    Interesting fact: while following the suggestion to hide all calendars, then show all calendars, I noticed that the internal calendar option is MISSING. It's like it just doesn't identify that there ever WAS an internal calendar. Really? Argh.
    Apple Support: are you guys monitoring this? I've seen a few similar postings, so I don't think we're alone...
    Granted, I have more than a few entries - years of calendar/appointment history have been imported from my old Palm Treo. Thanks to slow performance and odd calendar app crashes, I am very well aware that the iPhone's calendar isn't nearly up to the task of handling this many entries, and have been working to get the quantity of entries down. I must be up near some threshold, as response time seems to have improved with several deleted entries, though it was just before the crash+data loss.
    Fortunately, I try to sync with my Outlook calendar nightly, so I do have a backup. However, this type of data loss and instability re VERY painful for those that actually USE and practically LIVE by their calendars. Here's hoping I can remember today's entry modifications...
    One additional complaint: WHY can't I edit a recurring appointment WITHOUT it creating a NEW one? Crazy... For all the things this smartphone does well, it does several things VERY stupidly.

  • Iphone 4 sudden decrease in audio quality and right earphone not working

    This is really strange --- my iPhone 4 suddenly stopped playing music in the right headphone - in all headphones and even in my car AUX jack. Also, the sound in the left headphone is remarkably muffled and low quality.
    But if I pull the jack out a tiny bit, right before it comes out all the way, sound plays normally through both headphones for a split second.
    I tried the cotton swab and rubbing alcohol, tried compressed air.. any ideas what could be the cause? I'm beginning to think it might be like a connector or something deep in the jack got loose maybe?
    Thanks for the help!

    bump!
