Phone reboots every 45-50 seconds, and asks for activation every time

For the last 45 minutes or so, my phone has been constantly rebooting and I have been reactivating it. The phone cannot find my carrier (Verizon) and it claims that I have no signal with wifi connected, but still reboots after 45 seconds of use. I am not really sure how to fix this problem, I have tried Airplane mode, taking off wifi, holding down the lock and home button until the white Apple logo appears again. I just want to know what the issue is and how I can fix it!

Looks like you'll have to get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or by contacting Apple Support or your carrier:

Take it to an Apple store and they will diagnose the hardware, and replace it if it is failing (which is likely).
You can try restoring it using iTunes, set it up as New. If the problem exists before your restore your backup then it is almost certainly hardware.

IPad 1 64GB wifi+3G suddenly rebooting and asking for activation

Using an iPad 1 64GB wifi 3G and suddenly asked to activate again.
Activation failed and now my iPad randomly reboots. Tried resetting and doing a factory restore (from iPad and from iTunes).
Help please?

Not sure really if that has to do with it, I can't get back into my iPad. I made the mistake of putting that pinball app back on my iPad after resetting it and shortly after I did that the problem started again. Some have suggested it might have to do with iWorks.
How were you able to finally get into your iPad?

to remove that account.
go to settings > iTunes & App Stores > click on that apple ID then sign out.

After forgetting the password for my iPhone, I am trying to restore it through iTunes, however, during the process, the phone keeps turning on and asking for the password, thus canceling the process. Any advice?

Yes, you will still get the prompt.
I meant reset then try the recovery mode restore again.
You can also try DFU Mode.
DFU (Device Firmware Update) Mode is different than Recovery Mode.
DFU Mode is a special mode where the device can still interface with iTunes, yet it does not load the iBoot bootloader.
DFU Mode:
Plug your device into your computer.
Turn off the device.
Hold the Power button for 3 seconds
Hold the Home button without releasing the Power button for 10 seconds
Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
NOTE: Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present. Be patient, it make take several trys.

Careless? Possible, but unlikely. Most likely the phone was stolen from the first owner. It would be a VERY careless iPhone owner who did not erase their personal information from a phone before selling it, and to do that it is necessary to disable Activation Lock. In most places in the world knowingly using stolen property is a crime, so the fact that the phone doesn't work may be the least of one's risks.

Why every time when im going to install games that cannot be installed and asking for newest version of iphone software, how can i upgrade newest version of iphone software?

Plug your phone into your computer running iTunes. Click on the phone in the left pane of iTunes. Click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
If you have a 3G, the highest you can go is 4.2.1.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

First, we're not Apple here (Apple does not participate in this forum). We're only users like you.
The previous owner has not given you the correct ID and password for you to use.
If the iphone has iOS version 7, then read through the following...

I got a Sim Free 64GB Iphone 5 from Carphonewarehouse in UK n gifted the same to my Bro in law in India. He inserted the nano sim and can see the carrier and 3G symbol but the phone asks for activation. Its a SIM FREE phone, why cant he use it?

Hi,
Please help me with this as the phone is currently lying as a dead paperwieght with my brother in law. The phone, even though bought as SIM FREE, keeps asking for ACTIVATION!!!
Does it mean that I need to activate it with a SIM of one of the carriers that offers a contract and then I am free to use it with any SIM anywhere in the world?
Please assist in as much detail as you can.
Thanks.

Hi FelipeV,
Thanks, tried that.. half their numbers keep going busy and when they do pick up they are unable to assist.
I called up APPLE in UK as well, no help there either..
but.. I say.. its a SIM FREE phone for crying out loud, what is this ACTIVATION nonsense??
Thanks for the suggestion anyways.

Install maverik on my MacBook Pro, I had no problem. Two days later I was shut down suddenly and reboot with a closed padlock and asking me for a password that does not match any of mine. What I can do?

Try booting to the Recovery drive, running Disk Utility and Repair disk and Repair Permissions.
1. Reboot and immediately hold down command and R (two keys).
2. When you see the screen shown on this page, select Disk Utility and continue.
3. When DU is running, select the hard drove on the left, First Aid and Repair Disk.
4. After Repair Disk, click Repair Permissions.
Quit DU and restart.

Phone reboots every 45-50 seconds, and asks for activation every time
