    Hello Aaron1658,
    It sounds like you are unable to activate your phone with the SIM provided to you by your carrier. Try these steps in the following article to help you troubleshoot what it happening, named:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
    Symptoms
    Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
    "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported"
    "The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
    "iTunes was unable to verify your device."
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
    If this is not what you are referring to, would you provide some more information about what is happening? Any error messages, prompts, etc.?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • ITunes does not work with Windows VISTA

    If you are planning on installing Windows VISTA than do not expect your iTunes to work. It will mark all our downloads as being unauthorized to play on the Windows VISTA computer. If you try to download some new songs you will get an error. I am working with version 7.0.2 - the newest version at this time. So, beware - do not expect iTunes to work with Windows VISTA.

  • ITune do not work with  Windows XP x64 ?

    Hi
    I try some version of iTune (new/old/x32/x64) but it looks like none of them are working with xp x64.
    Can someone tell me witch version of iTune i have to download for Windows XP x64 plz ?
    Or is there a way to upload music on my iPod without iTune ?
    Thanks

    itunes has never supported XP 64-bit and never will. I don't want to argue whether that is fair or right, I'm just stating a fact.
    You can try to get it going from tips on this webpage:

  • Itunes wont work with windows 7

    i tunes wont run on windsws7

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7.  I'm not sure what information I should post to make diagnosing this problem easier.  (I'm not very tech savy.)  I have a 16GB Itouch and I'm running the 10.4.1 version of Itunes.  I've tried using Itunes' diagnostic tools but it just doesn't see my device.  Any advice?

  • Webcam on Equium A300D wont work with Windows live

    The camera works fine, but when try to use it as webcam on Windows live it doesnt work.
    This is new problem as has worked ok with Windows live in the past, and dont know why it wont work now.

    Is there some error message or something?
    When you have noticed this have you tried to roll back OS to earlier time when everything was OK?
    Maybe some Microsoft update is responsible for this.
    Exit camera assistant software and try to use it again. I use cam with Skype and MSN but camera assistant software doesnt start with windows and is also never started.

  • ITunes won't work with Windows Vista

    Everytime I try to open itunes I get the error message,  'itunes has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem'.  That ends everything.
    I have uninstalled, reinstalled, used System Restore, removed all new installs - nothing works.  Pua

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem. When I open itunes I get the error message saying 'itunes has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem'. Then sometimes it pops up telling me that itunes has an update that will stop this from happening, but that just takes me to the itunes download page. Sometimes it tells me that DEP has stopped it from working but I can't turn this off for itunes. When I go to the event log I get the following info:

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and tried to repair it several times. I've also uninstalled quicktime and reinstalled it and it's working fine. I've restarted my computer several times as well!
    I have Vista 32 bit.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I've been on these forums for ages looking for a solution, but it seems like most people solved the problem by just reinstalling quicktime.
    Thanks

  • Itunes can not connect to the iTunes Store, I work with Windows 7.

    Itunes is working on my computer with Windows 7 I only cannot cat in contact with the ITunes store ITunes is the whole time searging

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • Can Acrobat Pro 6.0 be updated to work with Windows 7?

    Hello everyone - I have software that I have been using for years.  I like it and it is really all I need.  My old computer finally crashed completely and I would like to use Acrobat Pro 6.0 on my Windows 7 machine.  Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?
    Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.  I really do not want to spend $400.00 on new software if it can be avoided...
    All the best...

    I would suggest an update, but I do not think that AA6 qualifies (need at least AA7). A big question is if it is a 32 or 64-bit system? For a 32-bit system there is some hope, though you may have to deal with some work arounds. Typically, AcroTray that automates the PDF creation may not work in Win7 (it does not for the AA5 I installed on Win7). If that is the case, you will have to change the printer port to file rather than Adobe PDF. Then you will be printing to file and have to open the file in Distiller to complete the conversion. You may be able to set up a watched folder in Distiller to automate the process a bit. Whatever you do, it will be trail and error and do expect some things to not work.
    So the answer is to first install it and see if Acrobat runs at all and if the Adobe PDF printer is installed. If so, then try to print. If it locks up, then try printing to file and open the file in Distiller. If that works, then my suggestions may do the job for you. I was able to get AA5 to work on my 32-bit netbook with Win7 starter this way. Not that clean, but it works. I primarily did it as an experiment, but for you it is a bit more.

  • L7680 driver installation wont work with Windows 8.1

    I recently bought a new HP Pavilion laptop and updated to windows 8.1 not long after the purchase.  I tried to install my Officejet Pro L7680 all in one printer today and was unsuccessful on every attempt.  The driver/software will download but when I attempt to install the software I get a message of "cannot find file specified".  I called HP and spoke to a rep who informed me that my printer was too old and wasn't compatible with the Windows 8.1 system.  He said there was no update available for my printer and basically I would have to buy a new printer.  Bad answer!!! 
    The issue is a missing file from the Preload Drivers folder: Msiexec.exe
    Please help me find a way to install my printer

    Hi exumsta
    Yes the anitivirus software could be causing issues.
    I would make sure it is turned off during the installation.
    Here is a url to temporarily disable all the start up programs to see if one of them is causing any issues.

    Hey zeobia-ipodnano,
    Try deleting the temp files and then downloading iTunes again as described here:

    When the window pops up asking if you want to run or save, choose save. Then run the installer after the save completes.
