    what do u do if your iphone wont activate after u update it

    You contact the carrier it's locked to and see if they will unlock it for you.  Activation problems are almost always due to the fact that the phone was hacked to unlock it instead of being legitimately unlocked.
    Of course, this can also happen if you're trying to activate it without a SIM in it. You can not activate the phone without a SIM.

  • HT1766 My iPhone wont activate after I updated my software to iOs 6.

    My IPhone 3GS' software lately is 4.0.1 then I don't normally updated it, then I saw iOS 6.1.3 that's when I started to thick about updating it. Then I did so, and it works, but iPhone won't activate now.

    That's because your phone is/was jailbroken.

  • 3gs wont activate after latest update

    My Iphone wont activate after the latest update was installed, even when connected to Itunes it just say disconnect and install sim card, even though there is a working sim in the phone, any help would be gratfull.

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • TS2811 my iphone wont activate after restoring it

    i bought an iphone 3g off a friend of mine and i signed up for itunes and i restored the phone but now it wont activate itself. What should i do?

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Unauthorized modification of iOS

  • ITunes error -1 when restoring iPhone from backup after iOS5 update

    If no one can help me fix this hopefully somebody might at least be able to tell me what -1 error means!
    I have an iPhone 3GS and before i updated to iOS5 i upgraded my itunes on my Mac and synced and backed up everything. I did the iOS5 update which went fine and i have it installed on my phone. When i went to restore from backup it looked like it was working for 2mins then it comes up with the error message saying unable to restore from backup (-1). I have done this a good few times now all with the same result. Any suggestions? Everything has been completely wiped from my phone and im desperate to get it all back.

    yeah mine is back to this
    iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone “xxxxxxxxx'x ' iPhone”. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?
    How do you get help around here?

  • IPhone 3GS will not activate after IOS5 update it says there is no SIM

    I tried updating my iPhone 3GS to IOS5 and it is saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable and then iTunes says there is no SIM but there is.

    Here's what you do
    1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
    2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
         a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
         b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
         c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
    3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
    4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
    5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
    6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
    You're welcome

  • HT4623 Why wont my Iphone 5 activate after IOS7 update

    My phone won't activate, even though I updated through Itunes though and no its like something is wrong with my network?

    Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.
    = L.I.

  • HT201407 Iphone 4 wont activate after i0s7 update, please help!!?

    Iphone starts up but with 'no service' and it says it cant be activated because the server cannot be reached. What do i do!?

    I have the same problem. I have just erased my iPhone 4S after requesting it be unlocked by my carrier. Now I want to restore from backup and the iPhone has a message
    "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached..."
    Maybe its a genuine problem with the activation server???

  • Iphone wont charge after ios5.1 update

    Ever since updating over the air my iphone 4 will no charge using any o the chargers in my house?
    What now apple?
    What am I to do with a glass brick?

    I must be one a very few people to leave the Apple store unhappy. As my phone is out of warranty, they wanted £119 for a new handset.
    Sorry Apple I thought it was all about customer service?
    Seeing as this is the second time that this has happened to me, and the carphone warehouse sent me a refurb last time it happened. I would have thought the warranty would be on the date of replacement handset not the original?
    Carphone warehouse to repair want £169 .
    Got it fixed for £49.99 at Microsim phone repairs .
    Needed a new dock connector.
    Still not happy that this has happend twice to me now though.
    Are there any iphone covers that cover the dock connector to stop this from happening again?

    It sounds a lot like your phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before you updated.
    Was it?
