Keeps asking to activate

updated phone and now sfter a period of time it comes up with have to activate how fo i correct this

Enter the requested information to activate the iPhone. If it is asking for an AppleID
and passcode you do not know, you will need to get that information from whoever
originally activated the iPhone. Activation Lock is a security feature in iOS 7 and later.
Without the required information, the iPhone is useless. There is no workaround for
Activation Lock.

HBOGO on AppleTV Keeps Asking to Activate

I have been trying to access HBOGO on AppleTV. It's been working fine for a month. Now, out of the blue, it keeps giving me an activation code and instructing me to activate. I do so on the the HBOGO activation site - AppleTV as device, XFINITY as provider, it tells me activation is successful. When I hit play on the program, it returns to a new activation screen with a new code, ad infinitum. I've tried unplugging to reset the AppleTV unit, and have tried restarting from the Settings menu. Nothing resolves it. Anyone have a good idea for me? Thanks.

IOS6 iMessage keeps asking to activate on boot even if already on

Hi all,
yesterday I updated my 4S to iOS6 and I'm experiencing a weird issue with iMessage: everytime I switch-on the phone, a pop-up asks me to activate iMessage, regardless it was already activated before the previous switch-off. I activate iMessage and all works as expected, until the next switch off and on: a pop-up reappears asking me the same question. This is first of all boring, second it implies every time a cost, as an international SMS is silently sent to put iMessage on.
Anyone having this issue?
Bye,
Andrea

Sounds like a defective phone. Take it to an Apple store or call for an exchange.

Are you talking voicemail and the password, if you are contact your phone carrier and they can reset your password.

You cannot active a phone if it does not have a SIM card in it. Period. End of discussion.
If you get this error and it has a SIM card in the phone then either the SIM card is defective or the phone is defective. Get a new SIM card and try again. If the problem occurs with the new SIM card the phone needs to be repaired.

I downloaded acrobat pro standard but for some reason I cannot activate the product, I pay a rental fee each month for the product and it keeps asking me for an activation serial number

Hi bobigene,

no it keeps asking me for a serial number, all the links that were sent for download non are for English
this is crazy
The Links provided to you are in English language..Do you see them in any other language? (if yes, screenshot please. )
OR do you mean you are looking for installer in English language? (If that's the case, then please download the installer using that link, as it is a Multilingual installation package.)
If i have wrongly interpreted your issue, please revert back with more details.
Moreover, Can you attach the screenshot of the Acrobat application window, so that we can guide you more accurately?

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

IPhone 4s keeps asking for password for voicemail. this is a replacement, and I never set up a password before, and don't want to

I took my iPhone 4s that I got for Mothers day of this year to the Apple store, because it would not activate after I restored it. So I have this new phone, did a restore from backup, and all is good. Except it keeps asking me for a password for my voicemail. Even if I am not in voicemail. Never had that problem before, and I did not set one up in my other phone, and do not want to set it up in this one. I tap on cancel and it goes away. But these little things really really bother me. I even have an issue with the iTunes Apple store asking me for my password every time I want to update. Sorry, it just bugs me. I can understand if I am buying something, but updates? And free apps? Anyway, if I have to I will keep tapping Cancel, but I never had an issue with my last iPhone 4s. Thank you.

For some reason I cannot post a new question so adding to this one.
I have the same problem with the voicemail password. I have a voicemail password, I don't need to reset it - but I want to get rid of it. Did you get a satisfactory answer?
VERY irritating to suddenly have to put in a password to hear voicemails. What is up with iPhone? I hope someone can help me.

Why did the most recent update set all my plug-ins to Ask to Activate and disable an Adobe one?

Firefox update and none of my plug-ins were working till I went and changed them from Ask to Activate to Always Activate. This Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in says it needs to be updated but when I try it does not update. It returns to the same need to update screen. There is a problem with your latest update.

I did try to update the plug-in. I would not. I fixed the problem by uninstalling the new firefox and downloading an older version and making sure it didn't install the maintenance program. This keeps it from updating. I even tried the 31 beta firefox and it set all plug-ins to ask to activate. Until you can fix this problem I will remain using the older version that works properly.

Acrobat XI Pro keeps asking for activation

Hi,
I've got my CC going for couple of months without any problems, recently I've installed Acrobat XI Pro and it was working ok, but for some reason it keeps asking me to license this software after I open a pdf file or launch it manually. When I go to login and it connects correctly its asking me for serial number.. I must launch another Adobe app like Photoshop and the same license window pops out, but right now after I login it goes fine and disappears - right now my Acrobat works fine but I have to do this every day to get it work :/
How can I fix this annoying problem? All other CS programs run fine without asking me to activate but when I start Acrobat even them seem to lose activation info, its strange... Help?
I've checked the Hosts file, checked activation server connectivity, tried to fix Acrobat installation but still nothing..
My OS is Windows 8 64bit
Best Regards,
S.

Firefox keeps asking for me to update adobe flash every 2 days to play items in facebook it is now getting rediculouse why?

nearly every 2 days on facebook whilst using The latest firefox i get the message that i need to update my adobe flash player, upon checking i find it want to update it to the same version i already have installed, i have checked for viruses and malware and numerouse other things but there is nothing on my system.
Why does it just keep on crashing? is it you or is it adobe

You can check for issues caused by plugins and set all plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page (plugins are not affected by Firefox Safe Mode)
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Creative Suite 6 Design Standard (for Mac) keeps asking for the Serial Number ... over and over!

My iMac has a well-installed Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. I have a valid serial (purchased it) and it works fine. Every couple of months though the Adobe Application Manager pops up and asks me wether I want to continue the test-period or if I am willing to enter the serial number. So I dig into my papers and get the serial number out ... it is accepted every time and works fine then. But after some time - there we go again: I have to enter the number.
I faced this issue a while ago and read that it was recommended to update the Application Manger - which I did. But ... still being bothered by these kinds of questions from time to time.
What can I do?
Information
27" iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 (it is not possible to update the OS --- this is the reason why I am running CS6)
