Need help activating....PLEASE help!

I got my iPhone for christmas, and i plugged it into my computer to activate. Followed all the steps and it told me that additional time was required for my activation to be complete, and that i would be emailed once it was complete. That was about 29 hours ago. Ive called A T &T and they said just to keep waiting...is it normal for it to take this long?

This wasn't normal when I activated on launch night - 6/29. I was an existing AT&T subscriber transferring my number from my existing phone to the iPhone and the process took no more than 5 minutes or so.
Do you have a discounted plan through your employer or anything different other than being a standard AT&T subscriber with a personal account?
Regardless, this is something you need to take up with AT&T.

    To create a standard account you need a valid payment method like a credit card. You do not get charged for creating an Apple ID/iTunes account..
    However, if you follow these instructions you can create a new account with out a credit card.

    Sorry, but that one doesn't sound like something for "users helping other users" -- unless someone smarter comes along here ... :-) ... I would advise going to Apple Support to have it taken care of ... or to your local Apple Store, over to the Genius Bar.

  • PLEASE HELP I NEED HELP

    I logged in to my mid 2012 13" MacBookPro with Latest OSX Mavericks and my dock only appears if i click down on the bottom of my screen (I hide my dock so that it only comes up when I hover over where it would be) and when I do get the dock open if I hover over anything it doesnt give the name of it! After playing with this problem for a while I have concluded that wheneverer I hover over something it doesnt appear available the click on e.g. when I click on file on safari none of the options appear blue and available to click. This also makes it impossible to play video games becaues i have to hold down left click to move.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Open the Terminal in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following lines separately:
    killall Dock
    killall Finder
    Press RETURN after each line. The Dock will automatically restart itself. See if that helps.
    If it doesn't help then do this:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Hi
    I really need help with re-activating my little sisters iPad, i already set it up a couple of months ago when i bought it,but unfortunately she disabled it by forgetting her password. i followed the necessary steps to reset it again, when the iPad came back on and we put the apple id and password it kept refusing it, i even reset the password, which sent the verification the email account,  i followed the steps to reset, But then i noticed the message at the top of the activate screen with the message “this iPad is currently linked to the following apple ID _______ with a a few hidden dashes, but at the end of the email it says co.uk, but the problem is the email ends with .com. I have no idea how this happened,  and its driving me insane and my little sister only used her iPad for a month before this happened. for some reason the the iPad email address ends in co.uk when the actual email ends with .com
    I also set up the software find my ipad

  • Need Help in Activating iPad

    So here's the thing.
    I currently have iOS 8.1. I tried to restore my iPad mini because I screwed up while I was updating it to iOS 8.0.2 (I unplugged the device from pc when I saw the "Charger pointing to iTunes") and when I plugged it again It said that I needed to restore the device and so I did. When the activating part came, It said that it needed an apple id (The "This device is currently linked to c*****@yahoo.com" thing). Good thing I remembered that ID because I was using another one. Now, when I entered that ID it said that the ID was missing important details or something so I went to appleid and logged on the ID there. turns out that It wasn't verified so I went to the email address linked to the ID. Unfortunately, the email address was already recycled and I had to make a new one so I did just that. Afterwards, I linked the Apple ID to the new email address and then I verified it.  And then when I entered it in the activation, It said: "*apple id* cannot be used to activate this iPad."
    Please. I need help.

    Sorry, but that one doesn't sound like something for "users helping other users" -- unless someone smarter comes along here ... :-) ... I would advise going to Apple Support to have it taken care of ... or to your local Apple Store, over to the Genius Bar.

  • Need help ASAP...iPhone activation problems

    Today i bought two verizon iPhones from the apple store. I activated one just fine but I'm having problems with the other one. I used the upgrade for one of my lines on the account to purchase the other phone. I actually bought this for a friend who will use the iPhone on her own personal account. When I went to the apple store they "activated" the phone but didn't hook it up to the computer for iTunes or anything. Are there any steps I need to take before I give the phone to her so she can have a smooth transition in activating the phone because she lives in another state than I do? Do I have to hook the phone up to iTunes and activate it on my line or no? then switch back to old phone? Phone has never been hooked up to the computer. Need help ASAP please.

    What kind of problems?
