  • 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

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

    My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

    I recently moved back to Australia for school from Canada and signed up for the new iphone 6 plus. After using icloud to save and backup from my previous iphone 4s, all of the apps eventually worked....except for whatsapp. After looking through my phone and numerous chat forums, it appears that my imessage and facetime are stuck in, "waiting for activation".....is anyone else having problems with this?
    I am curious as I am unable to receive the whatsapp code to re-activate my application. This brings me to my second question, is this an iphone/apple problem or a whatsapp third party problem?
    I've had friends send imessages to me and they appear to coming through. I have already rebooted and restarted my phone numerous time. A strong connection to wifi and data stream have all come in loud and clear.
    I have tried all of the directions that were posted and still have no whatsapp and imessage still inconsistent.
    Thank you

  • I cannot get my iphone 3gs to activate and I just had it unlocked

    I cannot get my iphone 3gs to activate and I just had it unlocked

    It sounds like it was likely jailbroken and will never activate.
    But if not, contact the original cellular carrier to make sure it was unlocked.

  • HT4061 my iphone 3gs wont activate

    my iphone 3gs wont activate after update

    Typically activation issues are the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
    If this is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • I NEED HELP!! my iphone 5s wont activate after updating to ios 8 . what is wrong?

    hello! I updated to ios 8 two days ago and it was ok. I started using my iphone later that day and it just rebooted . Now it wont activate .

    look... I start my iphone and and it goes to main LOCK screen where a message is shown, the message is "activation needed" . After I slide to unlock  and write my security code it goes directly to the activation page , not to the very begging ,where you should select the lenguage but from the part where you have to chose a wifi connection . I connect to wifi and the activation process starts . On the screen is a message that tells me to wait a couple of minutes . After a couple of minutes there is another message shown on the screen where it tells me that the activation server is unreachable for the moment , please try again later . and this procedure can be repeated    a hundred times and the same message will appear . It wont eaven reset . Any ideas wat is rong with it

  • HT201210 iphone 3gs wont activate

    I have a Iphone 3gs that wont activate after update.

    That would answer your question. This type of error is generally related to security software blocking the gs.apple.com server, or if the device was jailbroken. As a jailbroken device, you cannot get assistance here, but just to let you know that updating a jailbroken device will lock the device back to the carrier it was originally locked to and will also result in this error.
    Try Google and see if you can find a solution. Good luck.

  • My iphone 3gs wont activate after updating to ios 5

    ive updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 but now itunes wont activate my phone and comes up with a messege saying my phone has no sim inserted when it has one (original orange UK sim), what can i do to sort this out

    I had the same problem with mine and found out because i bought it second hand and had it unlocked updating it causes it to go back to being locked again. If you've bought it in the same situation then maybe that's the problem, i got it unlocked really cheap too and now its back to normal and all my messges, apps and pics are back.
    hope this helps

  • My iphone 4 wont activate after i reset it

    I bought my iphone 4 used a year ago, I recently got a new phone and just wanted to use my iphone as an ipod, but now that ive reset it, its saying I cant activate it throu iTunes, and its wifi is broken, how do I activate it so I can just use it as an ipod?

    Here are the steps to activate an iPhone:
    If your carrier provided a SIM card, make sure it's in your iPhone.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you can't activate using a cellular data connection.
    Restore the iPhone.
    Check the system status for iOS Device Activation. If the iOS Device Activation status isn't green, try activating your iPhone later.
    If you receive an alert message when you try to activate your iPhone, place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you still can't complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
    If you're asked to enter a password to proceed with activating the iPhone, Activation Lock might be enabled as part of Find my iPhone.
    For more details, please read the guide: Get help activating your iPhone - Apple Support
