Phone underwent recovery mode/factory reset. Now my iPhone 5 will not accept my Apple ID to reactivate.
My phone went under recovery mode after a quick dip in some water today, after plugging it in and doing a factory reset, it went to the 'Hello, hola, bonjour' screen. When asked to enter my Apple ID & password to activate my phone, it said the email was incorrect. I've called Apple & they said it was the corresponding email. I've used the same Apple ID to sign into everything; iTunes, iCloud online, Facetime on my MacBook Air. I even used it to sign in to ask this question .. It's just my phone that won't accept my Apple ID. Any help would be fantastic, it's really frustrating knowing the one device I use the most is now out of service for no good reason at all.
Also, when plugged into my laptop, error 2005 & 9 came up.

Okay pal, so why are you posting here?
I didn't 'dump' it into anything, it fell
and?
You did write, "no good reason at all".
Intentional or not, electronics going into water is not a good thing.
Then to top it off, it gets plugged in and turned on is surely one of the dumbest things I have seen in a long time.
If there was a "Doofus" or a "Really?button, I'd click it an infinite amount of times.
Thanks for the laugh!
Good luck!

I have upgraded to IOS5. Now my Iphone will not accept my Sim?
I have update the software to IOS5 but now my phone has rejected the Sim. any ideas?
If you've already upgraded, this will be tricky. If you want to stick with a Quicken-type product, purchase Quicken Essentials. It's not nearly as good as Quicken, but it works as a simple account register. Find your old Quicken data file and copy it to a flash drive. In the Quicken Essentials install disk, there is a Quicken File Exchange Utility. Copy that to the drive as well. Plug the drive into a Mac running 10.6 or earlier and run the utility to convert the Quicken File to a Quicken Exchange File. Move the drive back to the Lion machine and import the Quicken Essential file.
If you haven't upgraded yet, convert a COPY of the Quicken data file then upgrade.Install Essentials then import. -
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?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

my password keeps coming back incorrect, I have reset it 3 times now and it will not accept it on my iTunes to update on my phone or pad. It obviously is the right password since I was able to log in here...
Firstly like King Penguin says log out ,i would clear cookies and history in the safari settings, then I would restart the unit and then open up ITunes and try using the last PW you entered when you changed it.Cookies can be a bugger.

I did an automatic update to my daughter's iphone and it did not complete the update from version 6.0 to I believe 8. I waited for hours but the line stopped at 70%. I tried to restore my old settings but now my iphone will not start. When I try to start the
phone, I see the apple and a white line that never moves past 15%.Hi JG14usa,

I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?
IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage. -
Did a restore, and now my iPhone will not activate, though the iOS activation server seems to be "green"
SIM card is inserted, connected to wifi, and connected to iTunes though it tells me it is "unable to continue at this time"
Any other solutions?Hi JG14usa,

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?
First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
Hope this helps. -
I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs. I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync. Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone. What's up? What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?
- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

I was updating the software on my iphone4. I got a message saying that it could not update. Now my iphone will not reboot. It only shows a pic to connect to itunes, but nothing is happening when i connect it. How do I fix this?
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades. -
I changed my email account pw, and now my iphone will not let me to send email stating that name or pw is incorrect - no problem receiving.
You most likely did not change the password in the outgoing mail server section of your email account.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > your email account > Advanced > Outgoing Mail Server
Re enter the correct user name and password in the outgoing Mail server section even though it may say that these are optional. -
Hi,
As I have said in the title, I was supposed to do a restore on my iPad for work. I backed up the device and then I restored it to factory settings as I was instructed. Now that all of that is complete, I tried to restore it from the back up point I created and it will not recognize my Apple ID password. I really hope that I won't lose all of my data, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried entering my password numerous times. I really hope that someone can help me.Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password. -
I have an iPad Air that I bought recently. I cannot set up the iCloud account. I had an old Apple password. I had to reset the password. Now iCloud will not accept
either paseword. How can I fix this?Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again. -
