My IPhone 4 wont activate and I dont want to buy a simcard to activate it
My iphone 4 wont activate and it worked fine without a simcard before i factory reset it.... And I REALLY dont want to pay 20$ to call customer support... this is my last resort I'm afraid...
the error message "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care."
I could have searched the forum for that answer but can speak from experience. I retired my old 3GS and wiped it, bought a ip5 and ported my number to a new carrier. Part of the wiping of the old phone restored it as new. When I connected it to itunes the setup assistant would only pop up if I put an old sim car in it and then I could activate it

i have changed the apple ID (email) but on my iphone , the icloud is stil asking me to log in whit the old email.And it is poping-up on every 10 seconds.I never used icloud, and i dont want to use it.I just dont know how to disable the icloud.
If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to

I have an old icloud account with music and pics on a computer and a new account on my iphone and ipad how do I transfer my pics and music to my iphone account or cync them i dont want to have to repurchase all my music to play on my iphone
Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID. (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes. If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. -
i just tried updating my iphone 4 and now my phone is in recovery mode and i dont want to loose anything on my fone someone help please!!!!!
If its stuck in recovery mode then you have to restore it. Hopefully you had a recent backup on Icloud or on your computer that you can apply after restoring it. If so then you shouldn't loose your data.
Just connect it to Itunes and restore it. After it will promt you when your done to restore from backup or as new. If its on icloud unplug the phone and go through the intro screen till you get the same prompt. Sign into icloud and restore backup. -
i seen a iphone 4s at the telstra shop with a pink battery charge screen and i would like to have it on my iphone 4 which is optus and i DONT want to jb it ok thanks
It sounds as if AT&T has already told you they can't do what you want. It doensn't sould like anything that's fixable on your end.

I have forgotten my restrictions passcode and i dont want to lose any media on my iphone, or any apps, i am scared to back up my media for restore in future as these photos and videos mean a great deal to me, is there any way i could get around it? Thankyou if you can help; oh and last time i restored my iphone it didnt restore ALL the media only some and very improtant photos went missing :(
All media and apps on the device should already be in iTunes on the computer.
If you have forgotten the restrictions passcode, the ONLY option is to restore as new.
Then sync back any media, apps, contacts, etc back to the device.
You can not restore from backup as the restrictions passcode is included in the backup. -

I purchased a cd and it wont download one of the songs because it says its corrupt what can I do, I dont want to buy it again, I purchased a cd and it wont download one of the songs because it says its corrupt what can I do, I dont want to buy it again
After 4 repetitions I think I got that straight.
Answer: Return the CD.
Or did you mean this was an album you bought from iTunes, in which case it really isn't a "CD" (which is a hard, plastic, shiny disc) and I'm at risk of getting confused. If it is a corrupt file that you downloaded, delete the file and try downloading it again.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies). Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
