My iphone 4s can not activate it,  it was not recognized. help!

I bought an iphone 4s and can not activate it, an image appears saying that it was not recognized. help!

I'm from Brazil, but I bought my iPhone in the U.S.. the message appears both on the phone and the computer. the message is: "we're sorry, the iphone you connected is not recognized and cannot be activated for service. we recommend you visit your nearest apple store for more information".

    Hi have a iphone 4 gsm model. Can not activate because I do not know carrier. The phone is in setup so I can not get serial numbers or imei number. Sim carrier is blank. Can anyone assist

    You need a Sim inside the iPhone to activate it.  If the iPhone is locked to a carrier,  you need a Sim from that carrier.  The person who sold you the iPhone should be able to give you that information, but if it is not available, you need to get it from Apple Care.  Call them.

  • TS3367 Nowhere on my iPhone 4 can I activate FaceTime... I've tried using contacts, settings, and even when I call someone with an active FaceTime, the FaceTime icon is not lit up. Any suggestions?

    There is no facetime icon and never was. Facetime is built into the phone.  Go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure facetime is ON.  Go to settings>facetime and turn it on there and set it up there.  Also read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

  • HT3965 i had changed my sim card and trying to activate my iPhone but can't activate it

    i had changed my sim card and trying to activate my iPhone but can't activate it. its giving me error like your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailble....

    temporarily means try later
    and
    check your Internet connection
    get to know if your iPhone has a netlock (no use with another provider) or even a simlock (no use with another SIM)

    Try making a new Apple ID? I don't really understand what you mean.. Make a new apple ID, log in with that one and then when you are on your phone log out of it and THEN log in our old ID? If you still can't log in the old one then it's most probably a bug or something.. Anyway.. Good luck with your problem!!

    I think you're stuck if you don't have Find My iPhone enabled.

  • I bought the iphone 4s about a year ago, he was not new. The seller told me that he did the factory unlock, but he lied. Now I live in Russia and want to use the iPhone with a local GSM sim card.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • HT1926 Have the same problem as many other users: tried to update iTunes on Windows 7 today; first message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 1

    I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open.  First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • 'Could not save because access was not granted'

    I have just changed to iMac from a pc.
    On the pc I had two LaCie external hard drives containing all my photos. When I connected them up to my Mac, all the photos were there and I was able to edit them but the problem arose when I tried to save them. When I tried to 'save or save as', even using a different file name I am getting the 'could not save because access was not granted' message. The same message pops up even when trying to save something generated in Photoshop and not taken from the external hard drive.
    I went into Applications and Disk Utility but it appears the 'hard drives cannot be written to' and the SMART status is not supported, whatever that might mean!
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, possibly your EHD need to be Mac formatted.
    If you have formatted them right click on the Icon then select Get Info. On the very bottom of the Get Info window there is a section for Permissions. You need to Unlock (needs your password) and hit the + sign, from there choose YOUR name & Allow "Read Write" - See if that helps..
    If the EHD are NOT Mac formatted you will need to transfer everything from one EHD to the other then format the empty drive:- Applications ->Utilities ->Disk Utility -> Hilite Erase (top of window) Mac Extended..After that send everything back to the Formatted drive & do the same to the second drive..Finally Repair Permissions on YOUR Mac Main HD & Verify Disk on the EHD's-after that All should be good..........L

  • Upgrade to iOS 8.1.1 on a iPhone 4s -- Can't activate WLAN

    Does anyone can help me.
    I have gotten a used iPhone 4s, on which iOS 8 had been installed already. Unfortunately I haven't been able to turn on WLAN.
    So I figured out that it might be a good idea to upgrade to iOS 8.1.1 but I can still not activate WLAN.
    I am not able to pull the slider in the WLAN menu to activate. It just doesn't work.
    Here are the things I have tried already:
    hard/cold reboot --> Did not change much. Actually it got worse. So when I tried to open the WLAN menu the settings screen some kind of froze for some time and it did not go into the WLAN menu anymore. No matter how many times I tried it.
    Reset of the network settings --> This brought me back to the beginning. I am able to access the WLNA menu but I am not able to pull the slider (activate WLAN)
    I have turned on and off the airplane mode --> Nothing changed by doing this
    I have turned off Share My Location in the privacy settings --> Nothing changed by doing this
    Does anybody can give me a hint to get WLAn to work. I really need this :-(
    Cheers

    There is no solution. I hoped that maybe the next software version will fix the problem but nothing happened after installing (via iTunes, because I don't have WIFI) the new 8.1.1. Slider is grey and there is no physical force to move it to green. No WIFI at all. It worked for one day once I had this brilliant idea to upgrade to iOs 8 (the worst idea of my life, #1, I have to say), then I lost the network and when I connected again to my carrier, the WIFI button was gone.
    Much ado about nothing, I am one of the thousands with the same problem, and my carrier said, that the only solution is to change the phone.
    You bought the used iPhone because the guy selling it KNEW that is its functionality is broken, and happily he found a naive customer.
    And you can't make a reclamation, because it is not a problem of the phone, but the software. But Apple doesn't care. They expect that we will get tired and will buy another Apple phone.
    Welcome to the club.
    I have to run on the plan till the end of February, then I will have right to change the phone. GREAT.

  • IPhone 4s can't activate after restore

    I have an iPhone 4s. The software started acting a little buggy so I opted to do a system restore. After I did, I can't activate my phone. I don't have service with a carrier and use the phone primarily on wifi, and I need to get it working ASAP.

    It's because you were on the iOS 6 beta, which just expired. You'll need to get the final 6.0 release from the developer iOS portal here and install it manually.
