My ipone wont activate what can i do

Does anyone know why an iphone wont activate

Have you checked to make sure the battery isnt to weak to start the phone? Are you getting the apple logo on your phone, error message, etc. or it stays blank? Try doing a hard reset by holding in the home button (center button) and sleep/wake buttton (on/off) button at the same tiime, hold both of them until you get the apple logo and then release them. This should get you to start up, still sounds like a battery issue to me unless you are getting something on the screen. Good luck!

Has the software on your phone been modified before you tried to update the firmware? If yes, jailbreaking the phone could be the reason for your problem.
If the device has not been jailbroken, try these steps:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

Not Charge

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

are you getting a restore error code, what is happening when you try to restore.

i changed the date on my mac to 1995 now date and time or start up disks wont open what can i do?

Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 16 December 2013 then reverse the mm and dd values.
Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
mm = month
dd = date
hh = hour (24 hour format)
nn = minutes past the hour
yyyy = year
Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is December 16, 2013 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
sudo date 121621002013
or
sudo date 1216210013
Either one will work.
To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.

New Playbook wont charge - what can I be doing wrong

Hi there, so frustrated Im about expire!, bought my daughter a blackberry playbook for christmas. After much waiting yesterday for me to get advice from my internet provider on how to connect to the internent (which we've now achieved), I find that it just wont charge. We put it on charge yesterday and I now realise it didnt charge at all. Its saying it has no battery power and cant do any more start up until it reaches over 20%. However, I dont see what I can be getting wrong here!, although Im not techy, there are two leads which came with it, one to the electricity point which Ive connected into the middle slot on the three at the bottom of the playbook and when then failed to get any reaction Ive tried connecting to me laptop without any reaction to the playbook either. Its brand new purchased from a big electrical retailer and opened only yesterday. what a disaster, is it a dud.

My first suggestion would be to immediately return and exchange it at that big retailer.
Alternatively, LEAVE it connected to the wall outlet charger (not the USB > PC charger).
Leave it connected for 24 hours... every 3-5 hours, press and hold the power button only for about 20 seconds. Eventually it will boot on up, but first must reach a certain charge level.
You will see the blinking red and perhaps yellowish LED light, and perhaps a symbol on screen of "no battery". That means the battery is drained, but it must reach a certain charge before powering on.

HT1414 my daughter has iphone 3gs and it required an update , so i connected the iphone to itunes for update and the iphone locked up, I had to reset back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , what can i do

My daughter has an iphone 3gs and it required an update. So i connected the iphone to itunes for the update and the iphone locked up . I had to reset the iphone back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , Please advise what i can do to get this working for her ?

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

Having updated my iphone 4 to ios7, imessage is taking ages to activate, what can i do?, Having updated my iphone 4 to ios7, imessage is taking ages to activate, what can i do?

Having updated my iphone4 to ios7, imessage is not activating. All I get in setting is waiting for activation. Is there anything I can do?

What I done and it worked for me so simple. I was having the problem 'Waiting for activation'
> Plug your iPhone in
> Go to iTunes.
> Go to the summary page
> Tick this computer then go to back up now.
> Once done, to make sure your phone has backed up properly go to the top left thing and a drop down menu appears click preferences, then devices and it should come up with your iphone device and a time stamp.
> Go back to the summary page click restore back up (it will most likely ask for you to turn off find my iphone, do that) then click restore back up again.
> Wait for it to do its thing, your phone is fully back to how it works but with imessage enabled through your phone number and not through your apple ID
