Iphone 5c keeps showing 'activation required'
New to the iPhone 5c only had it from New a few month but today keeps showing 'searching' in top left corner and constantly coming up with 'activation required' which I've done numerous of times but still not doing anything different, what can I do?
How far is it off?
Always the same amount off?
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
BTW, this is the iPod touch forum

iphone 3gs shows activation required, hooked up to iTunes and it is not recognized. Did the restore but just gets to the end and gives an error message it could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (-1). Can someone assist me in next steps please?
Instructions to get the phone back working temporary.. till there is a real fix.
1. turn off the phone
2. fire up iTunes
3. press and hold the home button, plug in the cable, hold till you get to see the recovery mode
4. iTunes will the allow to choose restore the phone back to 5.0.1 ( no other choice)
5. iTunes will then ask you to choose which previous backup to would like to recover.
(note: please do not reboot your phone unless necessary, i realize at times after reboot, it goes back to sq1) -

My iPhone 5 keeps showing that it has headphones connected. I've tried rebooting it buy it didn't make any differance. What should I do?
Hi Pluggies,
The article below will give some troubleshooting steps for your iPhone.
The article has more details and screenshots, but I've quoted highlights below for you:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
Resolution
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Hope this helps!

Dear Friends, i did not update the latest public version of iOS6, but unfortuantely my beta 4 expired and messages displays like "Activation Required" and when i try to activate it says server is busy and unable to activate. I have installed latest version of iTunes and still unable to restore. What should i Do? Kindly help me to activate my iPhone 4s
You need to post this in the developer's forum.

someone help me fix my phone i have had ios7 since it came out and it has randomly come up with 'Activation Required' never had any problems with the iphone so how do i fix this ?
Were you, by chance, running a beta version of iOS 7 on your phone?
If so, this will be the problem. You will need to log Into the private developers forum at https://developer.apple.com/support/ios/
If you are not a developer, you will need to seek help by way of your favourite search engine. -
IPad 1 keeps displaying "Activation Required"
Clicked on a "report problem" link in a receipt from iTunes. The iPad said it couldn't connect to iTunes store. I had wifi connectivity bars but a No Service message. Rebooted the iPad and now it just says, "Activation Required." I start the activation process and it says, "it may take 3 minutes to activate" then it restarts itself and the process starts over continuously. I tried to connect it to my Mac to restore it. It only shows up in iTunes while the "Activation Required" message is displayed, however, I can't click on the iPad in iTunes. The iPad goes to restart itself and disappears from iTunes. I can't reboot it. I can't restore it. How do I fix this?
@Bjorken72
First issue faced - 3G connection dropping frequently. temporarily resolved by turning on and off cellular data. On one such switching ipad asked me toactivate. When I tried to activate, it did not work.
When I checked with the Apple Service centre - they told me that this is a hardware problem.
How I overcame this problem is not scientific!
Removed the SIM Card.
Inspected the Ipad - there was a corner which had a dent - it was probably from a fall / hit against something
Held the edges an inch or so near this dented corner in both hands and kind of tried bending outward - not too much of force
Bingo! it worked, but lost all apps, data settings etc. Been using it for the past 6 months - even with a simcard - no problem so far! (Touchwood!). I do not switch off / power off the ipad anymore. I just do a hard reset (holding power & Home buttons together) whenever the ipad hangs or apps crash (yes! it does!)
I know this may not be a solution to your problem - but I can empathise with your frustration. I thought I will reply even if the method I used to solve the problem sounds ridiculous! -
I have one of the original iPads. For some reason it has started showing Verification required. I do not know what is causing this and it keeps rebooting.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Many thanks
Laurence1. Windows 8.1 Enterprise w Update is the best. It allows you for sideloading in corporate environment without additional tools and licenses.

2. N series is for EU (without IE).
3. Profesional is fine, but you will need some tools to achieve the same functionality that you have in "pack" Enterprise.
4. VL is volume license, a type of license for multiple computers (to say it simply)
5. MSDN forum is better alternative for problems like this.
6. Attached to MSDN are licenses or at least references to web resources. Read license agreements carefully and let your installation and use follow the license.

The install happens with the verifier, but there is no icon created nor shortcut nor autorun after install. We need users to use this as well. Is there a solution other than us packaging up msft code into our app installation process?
