    Hello
    I have an iphone 3Gs, no longer on contract and unlocked by network provider.  I've tried updating the software and it has gone back to factory  settings, but it's telling me that it cannot activate the phone due to activation server is unavailable.  Is there anything I can do to get the phone working again?

    Did you get the 'Congratulations. Your iPhone is now unlocked." message?
    Was your iPhone hacked or jailbroken prior to the unlock attempt?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?

    Hi iPheariPhoPad,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s an issue with Settings, the Notes app entry isn’t showing up as expected. Take a look at the article linked below and try restarting your iPhone 3GS.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If that doesn’t do it, try restoring your iPhone as shown in this article:

  • How to restore an early 2009 iMac running Mavericks back to factory settings without discs

    Today I got an early 2009 iMac from a family member, I would like to restore it back to its factory settings as if I was setting up a brand new computer. He does not have the discs that were originally with the iMac when he first purchased it. It is currently running on Mavericks OSX. Is it possible for me to restore this computer back to factory settings without the discs?

    No. Phone Apple and order replacements, or if you don't need iLife, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store; the retail DVD can be used to create a bootable OS, but not to perform a true factory restore.

  • Gone back to factory settings and now sim card not recognised

    Please can someone help. My daughter just bought a 3GS from eBay on 02 network. It has been restored back to factory settings but it won't let us do anything. It is also saying no sim card installed when we put it on iTunes. Please help.

    Sounds like you bought a hacked/jailbroken phone that was either re-locked to the original carrier or damaged to the point that it will no longer recognize any SIM when you restored it.

  • TS1717 restoring default factory settings without itunes as both may have malware

    How can I restoring default factory settings without itunes on my ipod 1 and ipod 3rd generation, as both may have malware aswell as 3 laptops, 2 mobile, TV snd BluRay Browser.
    any advice will be greatly appreciated.
    have tried to disinfect with Kaspersky products but the malware just overwrites everything that is put into the p.c. so I need to use just the pad itself, that is, of course, if it allows me access.
    theres nothing like a ipad scorned, ask my weary eyes. cheers

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

  • How to set iBook G4 back to factory settings without disk.

    I'm about to sell my iBook G4. But I want it back to it's factory settings. I got told:
    Turn off mac.
    Restart and as soon as you see the white screen press;
    Command and S.
    Type in:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    /sbin/mount -uw
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    Reboot
    but it doesn't reboot it. HELP!

    You can't; that procedure will cause it to rerun the Setup Assistant, but it isn't an actual factory reset. If you want to use it anyway, use 'shutdown -h now' as the final command.
    The computer shouldn't be sold without its original disks.

    Hello RodneySmart,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what I understand about your issues is that your iPad will currently not turn on.  In attempt to resolve this issue please follow the steps in order below:
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • Ipod touch generation 2 ~ I can't send or receive emails from my gmail account.  I have gone back to factory settings and updated the device. It will not take my password.

    I have not used this Touch iPod for quite some time and thought I would use it for collecting email when I am out.  I have wasted a lot of time trying to get this to work and now wonder if the 2nd generation is too old to send and receive email. 

    I am using imap on all my other devices.  I use a Google domain email address.  The only divice I have that will not sync is this older generation iTouch. The version without the camera. Model PB528LL.  I know my email address is correct and the password works everywhere else.
