New iPhone 4 Activation Help Needed

Well, I upgraded to a new iPhone 4 and ordered it on Saturday and it was delivered on Monday morning.
I now cannot activate it. I inserted the new Micro Sim into the phone and then connected it to iTunes and iTunes 10 opened.
It went through a lot of things and then asked me if I wanted to upgrade the software to OS 4.1, which I did and it then kept telling me that activation may take sometime. I successfully downloaded 4.1 and then the phone seemed to sync, but now, when I disconnect from iTunes, there is nothing about the phone being activated and there is no signal.
My old iPhone 3G however is still working and has a signal, but I can't use my iPhone 4. I tried connecting my 3G to iTunes and it came up with the summary info. and showed my phone number, however, I then connected my iPhone 4 and it showed summary information, but no phone number. No info re activating comes up at all and I am at a loss to know what to do.
Any ideas about what to do? I don't need to select contracts in iTunes, as I did all this on the 02 website when I upgraded and because it is an upgrade, I get to keep the same phone number as before.
What do I need to do or should I just go into a local 02 store and ask? I would just love to start using this new iPhone 4 now that I actually have it, but if it won't activate, then I am at a loss?
Help please.

Call your provider to activate.
I had the similar problem when I got mine 2 month ago. I ordered mine from AT&T, upon receiving it, i went to the apple store to get it activated (since I had no internet connection at home), but to find that it was waiting for activation, the genius was puzzled to why it wouldn't activate. So I had to go to the activation site on the AT&T part and activated from there, then it worked.
so you'll probably have to contact your provider to activate your new iphone. Good luck.

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Having the imei won't help you find your phone.
If you setup and enabled find my phone prior to losing it then go to icloud.com
If you didn't set it up - then there nothing you can do.
Call your carrier and let them know, change all your passwords.

If my iphone 4s was unlocked by AT&T, but I need to use my warranty for a new iphone. Do I need to reunlock the new iphone? or will apple give me an unlocked iphone?

If your phone is officially unlocked, you will get an officially unlocked iPhone if yours is replaced under warranty. Apple maintains a data base of officially unlocked iPhones & can verify whether your phone is officially unlocked or not. To be safe, point this out to the genius bar, if you go to an Apple store or whoever you talk to, if dealing with AppleCare.

I have authorized one computer out of available 5 (in show in my itune , but Im not remember ) I canot nync my new iphone 6 .pls I need to deauthorized all, to setup my iphone.thank you so munch.

What is the exact message, and when do you see it? You don't need to deauthorize anything to register an iPhone.
You can deauthorize all computers by going to your Account settings in iTunes and clicking "deauthorize all". But that won't solve your problem, because your problem has nothing to do with the number of computers authorized.

My iPhone 4S won't send texts to my husbands new iPhone 5s. Help?

My iPhone 4S won't let me text to my husbands new iPhone 5s. He can text me but I can't text him. My software updates are all done and I don't understand why I can't text him. Please help.

They can log into their Apple ID and view the profile. Then they can remove the device. It may take a little while after they do that for it to catch up to the iMessage servers. Another way is if they still have the phone to put their SIM back in and then turn off iMessage, or they could put their SIM in another iPhone and turn it off.

Activate new Iphone with Wifi but need to log-in on Safari first - how do I do this?

I have just received my new iphone 4S and would like to activate it. I am trying to use the wifi network we have at work but on my old iphone, every day I would have to open safari which would then pick up The Cloud network and prompt me for a sign-in username and password – no problem. Unfortunately, when I try and select this network to activate my new phone, it doesn’t allow me to open safari first to sign onto the network and thus allowing the activation to continue. Is there any way around this??
Many thanks

Yes, that's the only options. If the wi-fi network requires that you authenticate using Safari, then it's not appropriate for activating your iPhone.
Use your computer & iTunes to activate your device.

I've lost my contacts on my new iphone 6, please help.

I used to have the iphone 4s but got the new iphone 6 last week. I backed up my contacts before I got the iphone 6 and then uploaded my contacts onto my new iphone. I also changed sim cards and had to wait a few days for the new sim card to have the same number I used to own. I got my old number on my new sim card today and all my contacts disappeared! I tried to restore my iphone and then upload my contacts onto my iphone again but the contacts I had backed up have also disappeared! Please can someone tell me how I can get my contacts back??

Where did your contacts originally come from? Gmail? Yahoo? Outlook? Or did they only get created directly on the iPhone?
Wherever the original source of contacts was is your best bet, but if they only lived on your iPhone then I think all you can do is try to recover them from your old sim. If you can do that, and turn on your iCloud account's Contacts, then maybe then they'll be synced to iCloud and the you can put your new sim back in.

New iphone 4 do i need to charge battery

Hi I bought a new iphone 4 which was delivered today. It has about 40% battery life.
Do I charge it fully before use or discharge it fully and then recharge it back up.
Please advise and thank you.

Charge when it is most convient for you. If it is late, just use the iPhone now and charge it later, overnight. If you have a whole day before you, charge it now so it does not run out before late tonight.

AT&T Do not open my new iPhone to sim free :( NEED HELP PLEASE :(

I just bought an AT&T iPhone 4 from eBay and i live in Israel.
I need to unlock the phone because our "Carrier" {ORANGE} do not work if the iPhone not sim free.
I called AT&T "1-800-3310-500" few times follow this article: "http://www.noeman.org/gsm/mobile-phone-talk/48308-why-pay-t-unlock-code.html" for a "non-customers" section .
AT&T rep say that she cannot help me if I'm not an AT&T customer, I asked them what can i do? I bought the iPhone from eBay and the person that sold me the iPhone also send me an AT&T Sim card and when i insert to the iPhone and open the iTune i saw the old number so i told to the AT&T rep that i have an old AT&T Sim and if she can open the phone? She say OK took my IMEI number and then suddenly she ask me what is the 4 social number digit of the Sim holder? I told her i don't know i bought the phone from eBay i only have the person name, Sim number and paypal confirmation, i don't know the social number... then she say that she cannot do nothing...
Please help what can i do?

Can any one send me Apple email support that i can write them?
The iPhone 4 I mentioned above was bought from eBay I have problems that the iPhone is locked to AT&T carrier although the previous customer graduated his payments to the company.
In the last few days I called (1-800-3310-500) and Corresponded ([email protected]) with AT&T number of times and ask from the represent to open the phone to Sim free because I live in Israel and my Carrier is “ORANGE” and when I remove AT&T Sim and insert my local Sim, the phone not working. I told them that I can send them the PayPal transaction confirmation on the Acquisition and the IMEI on the phone.
They say that only AT&T customers can ask to open the phone and I'm not a customer thats why they cannot begin the apply request to Apple.
I love Apple products and I use them every day and very happy.
When someone say to me change to Android products I tell him it's like to compare between BMW and Subaru cars, ofcource the BMW represend the Apple IOS system.
I think what AT&T doing is Bullying!!!

Photoshop CS activation help needed

My desktop computer died and had to be replaced. I installed Photoshop CS and have had the world's worst nightmare trying to get it activated.
1. Attempts at on-line activation produce repeated messages that the on-line activation service is not available and suggests phone activaiton.
2. The automated phone activaiton system tells me it is unable to complete the activation and tells me to press a number to get phone help. Pressing that number gives you a recorded message saying that phone line help is no longer avaiable and sends you to www.adobe.com/go/activation.
3. www.adobe.com/go/activaiton automatically switches you to http://www.adobe.com/products/activation/, which then gives you a page not found message and leaves you on a page with no useful help.
How can I get a phone number that lets me reach a real live person who can help or a real email address that allows asking a quesiton from a real live person?
Argggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Clay

I installed Photoshop CS and have had the world's worst nightmare trying to get it activated.
Not surprising really. The activation server was permanently decommissioned in 2012.
You now need to download a fresh, non-activation version of CS2 from Adobe and use the new serial number provided to license it without requiring activation. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

My 3GS unlocked ATT iphone wont active-help!

Greetings, our family has been ont he ATT Family plan for years. Ive got the new iPhone5, wife has 4S and mom has 3GS. My OLD iphone 3GS, which was unlocked via ATT was given to my little girl to play apps and music on and was working great until a week ago. I did update it to iOS6 and she had been using it with my OLD/Dead sim card-again NOT using it as a phone but like a ipod. All of a sudden, its not stating its needs to be activated but will not. Ive tried updateing over the air AND via connected to iTunes. The phone itself says that the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I have tried for over a week and I get the same message on the phone. How can I get this working??
To re-state: it WAS my old phone, its now unlocked, updated to IOS6, old/dead sim card sim card. Had been working great for access to apps & music but now need activation but wont activate.

Not sure this is the right fix for you, because for me the iPod app would stay open, but not play music when selected. I read in another thread a solution that worked for me.
Basically, you need to delete the music from the phone and re-copy from iTunes with 2 syncs. In the music tab, uncheck the boxes in the playlist, artist and genre option, removing all music from the phone, then sync. Then, re-check the desired music to copy back to the phone and sync. Music should play now from the phone.
I echo the sentiment of another poster that iOS4 really is a disaster. Problem like this should have been solved before release.

Iphone questions:Please Help Need Opinions Too

I am currently overseas in Germany. I am looking to buy an Iphone, because it can play music, movies, internet, ect and big it's a phone. Is there a way to use the Iphone like a gsm prepaid or a way to work with it being a phone without going threw att and getting long distance charges. i will be here for the next 2.5 years. Also, is there anything else that would be helpful to know about the iphone.

the carrier for the iPhone in Germany is tmobile - not att - if you are going to be in Germany for 2.5 years you probably should buy a german iPhone - i dont know what tmobile has for plans if you go outside Germany or make international calls - in the US ATT has an international roaming plan that you can buy that redues the rate when using the phone in another country on a carrier ATT has roaming agreements with to 99 US cents a minute - dont know if tmobile has a similar plan in Germany - or what it costs if you call another country from Germany - you probably need to check into that
for awhile in the US if you didnt put in your social security number during activation ATT let it work as a prpaid - but i think tthey closed that loophile - maybe tmobile has some prepaid plan for the IPhone in Germany - i would talk to them - the rate plans are determined by the carriers not Apple
in 2.5 years the current iPhone will probably be superceeded by several nwer versions so i would worry about waht to do when you leave Germanyjust my opinion
