Looks like you r not alone, few more people with at&T can't activate. If memory serves right same happened first week iPhone 4s came out. Just too many people activating their toys. I d probably try to do it at 2 or 3 in the morning. Sorry.

  • HT201210 Please help - error message saying 'filmware file is not compatable', and videos will not transfer from phone to computor.  what can i do?

    As title says, I keep having this error message 'filmware not compatable' and my videos will not load.

    Cheers in advance

    Bad news: It sounds as if you were sold a jailbroken iPhone.
    Good news: File a SNAD with eBay. Make sure all your correspondence has been through eBay Messaging. The fact that the seller has been ignoring you will not sit well with them.
    You will get 100% of your money back, including shipping. Paypal will simply seize his funds and return what is yours.
    Lesson: Don't buy a used iPhone.
    It's much worse for the seller. His PayPal and eBay accounts will be frozen. Until he squares up with both you and eBay, he's out of money and out of business.

  • Please help: error message says ipod cannot be read from or written to

    Hi
    I have been using my iPod Video for a couple of months now without any problems, until yesterday. I tried to sync it after I downloaded a couple of new songs when I got this error message: "Attempting to copy to the disk 'Jason's Ipo' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    The 'Jason' in 'Jason's Ipo' is me.
    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Thanks, that was helpful.
    While I was waiting for your answer I restored my iPod to its original settings. The screen is now black and white and the font changed to something smaller. Is this normal? How do I put the playlists and songs back in? Please post a link if there is a page on this subject.
    Thanks again.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you send email from that account on another device?
    - You can try deleing the account from the iPod and reentering the settings.

  • HT201210 Trying to activate my iPhone, but it says activation server unavailable, tried connecting to iTunes, but I get same message

    As above really, keep getting activation server unavailable, after trying to activate my phone after a restore

    I do have a SIM card installed, albeit it says invalid sim.and this was my reason for a restore.
      My sim is the same sim I have had since I bought the phone new, it has never been removed and the phone is not jail broken.
      Still cannot activate due to server not available!

    Trying to upload pictures to a website, but it doesn't work. After going thru the whole process, I get a message saying; the server attempted to redirect you. Server redirection is not supported. This only happened after I updated Firefox. Never had this problem before.

  • Please Help - Error message when trying to open itunes

    Hi
    Can someone help pls? I was in the middle of upgrading my version of itunes and my computer crashed. Now when I try to open itunes I get an error message as follows: 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience'.
    I don't know what to do! I am worried I have lost all of my music!?

    hiya!
    'Quick time failed to initialize. Error # - 2095. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer'.
    okay, let's try a careful standalone QT reinstall:
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b

  • Please help--Error message in PSE 7

    When I open PSE 7 I'm getting an error message that says:
    Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error Program....Adobe Photoshop, etc
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for information.
    and a couple times the message just says Adobe Photoshop has stopped working and must close.
    When I click "okay" the entire program shuts down.
    This started about 10 days ago.  I uninstalled the program and re-installed and it worked okay.  Now today the message is back again.  I've tried unplugging everything, restarting the computer and nothing is working.   I am using Windows Vista.
    Please help.
    Thanks, Doris

    I do not know enough about my computer etc. to
    follow the troubleshooting
    information that you referenced. But  I was able to check my system
    information and everything was okay in that area.  I've been using
    the PSE 7 program for almost a year with no problem until now.  Is there some way that I can talk to
    a "real live" person to get help.   Thank you for taking time to try and help me.  I'm just not computer savvy enough to follow the instructions as given.
    Thanks,Doris

  • Please Help: Error Message:"IP Configuration: IP Address Already In Use..."

    I'm not sure where to post this, but I'm going to start here... I have been having this issue and its really beginning to scare me.
    *_The Problem:_* I keep getting a message with a RED Exclamation Sign and its titled "IP Configuration" and says this: *123.456.0.1 already using DHCP 123.456.0.100*
    I have been clicking okay, but finally one day got annoyed and called the mac people to get help and... they didnt help a bit.
    So now I am trying to find help from others.... please help. give as many suggestion as possible and i'll continue to google for help. Thanks.
    *So is someone else using my address?*
    *Is someone able to see my screen and information and stuff?*
    *Why is this happening?*
    Please answer these questions if possible.

    To really help, a description of how the network you use to get online is configured is needed. Are you using wireless? Are there other computers that use this network and if so, what operating system are they running? What sort of router and modem are you using? etc.
    So is someone else using my address?
    Either another machine is using your IP address, or something is wrong with the DHCP server.
    Is someone able to see my screen and information and stuff?
    Probably not.
    Why is this happening?
    My guess is that the firmware on your router needs to be updated.
