Not updated to ios7 but restored phone, it now wont activate why!!!
Help please, Ive done it to two phones as swapping sim cards, now rendered both phones useless
Oh, their servers are busy? Well ok then thats fine. It's not like I needed to call or text my wife at any time today or anything. I'll just wait until my masters at Apple have decided it's ok for me to use the device that I paid for with my own money.

What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
Is there a sim in the iPhone?
Is the iPhone jailbroken or modified to work with other than the original
wireless provider?
Have any of the beta versions of iOS 7 been installed on the iPhone?
Need more information before someone can offer a solution. -

iPhone 4s will not turn on, a screen shows up telling me to connect to iTunes to restore and update to iOs7, but when I try to restore error 2001 comes up and will not let me restore. I still cannot turn my phone on. None of the troubleshooting tips work, help??
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process.
FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue.
In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service. -
I updated my 4s to ios7 and the phone is now completly dead. I tried to restore it with the new itunes but it won't restore. If you can't get the download be glad! Anyone have any ideas other than going out and buying a new Samsung phone? I don't really need a paper weight.
No not jailbroken. After the update which took about 45 minutes. The phone went black. Dead. Wouldn't restart. Using the new itunes I tried to restore it. It went through the motions; the white Apple and progress bar appeared on the iphone screen. Then I got a message "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." Then the phone went completly dead again. I Repeated the process and got the same results. Is there another way to restore the phone if it's dead, besides itunes?

i was updating to ios7 and my phone turned off and now it wont turn back on. it shows the apple sign but it slowly fades away and so on. Help!
Hello there, RFJA2211.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great troubleshooting steps for unexpected power off of your iOS device:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Tried to update to ios7, phone was restored and now wont activate?
tried to update to ios7, phone was restored and now wont activate?
You have run into Activation Lock, a security feature of iOS 7 designed to prevent activation of lost and stolen iPads. there is no way around Activation Lock. You need to know the Apple ID and password used to set up the iPad originally.
What do you mean when you say the original Apple ID is disabled? -

I tried to update to ios7 but it said to plug into itunes. I've plugged it in several times but the update fails everytime and my phone continues to say plug into itunes. Any help is greatly appreciated
Your iPhone was hacked at a "small phone unlocking shop "
Only the carrier who locked the iPhone from new can unlock it no-one else
Anything else is hacking which forfeits any help from Apple and this forum
I also doubt that Orange will touch it
For an understanding what hacking does see here

Since all the UK carriers ( I assume you are in the UK )
offer unlocking you have trashed a perfectly good iPhone -

hi pls help me my iphone is forest i update but after my iphone is devices open is not working i click but sim card installed , attempting to activate this one coming pls help me answer me
Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier. Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier. You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

HT4623 I updated to ios7 but no longer can I print. How do I fix this problem? HELP,
I updated to ios7, but now cannot use my printer. How can I solve this problem?
Hey Miichaelb62,
I found some basic troubleshooting steps for you to try first:
Verify that the printer:
Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
Has the latest firmware version installed.
Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.Notes:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the AirPrint printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.
