Hey Guitargodfromhell,
Try the steps in this article; TS1275.
Mainly things from the Security Settings sections and things like that, s'what the guys on the phone told me when I called them, fixed my issue up (Not a jailbroken phone). If they don't work though, definitely give them a call, with any luck they'll get it sorted out and you'll be on your merry way again.
Regards,
ThatGuy

The problem is twenty three people leaving or twenty three thousand leaving has zero impact on a carrier with over 100 million customers. And they have the lowest churn rate. So if 10,000 or 20,000 or more churn out it means little to the carrier.
If you have a real lawyer he/she will advise you that you have no case. The device was not lost or stolen by the carrier, you were not eligible for a new device, and like any business who employs large numbers of poorly trained personnel who make low wages what was told to you is not in writing. So a verbal exchange does not hold up.
In fact in Verizon's customer agreement it has such a disclaimer against any verbal exchanges so if you have that agreement in writing, go get them.
The posting on public forums and places like Face Book, Linkin, Google+ or a personal web site can open you up to a lawsuit for Dilution of Trade Name, and other offences. However if you have proof then go for it.
Unfortunately that is how big business works today. A pity

trying to restore a 3gs. keep getting 'activation server is temporarily un available'

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.
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?

I would suggest you try to update your iOS 8.0.2 to the latest iOS 8.1.0 with iTunes on your computer. Don't try to do the update on your iPhone, it takes time and some error always occur. After updating to iOS 8.1.0, if your iPhone can't restart properly, try Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS trial version. It will say that your iPhone is not in normal mode, offering you the option 'restart the device'. Just click the button to let your iPhone restart.

Osx Lion Restore Problems

So I decided to restore my new 2011 21.5 inch imac back to osx lion, I decided this because apparently my macintosh hd wont let my partition it in anyway and i cant put windows on here unless I do a fresh install of lion, then I can do boot camp.
So I booted into the recovery manager option when you start up your computer and I clicked on restore osx lion.
It took about 6 hours to download, and then the computer rebooted, and now I dont know what to do, I went back to the restore lion option in that menu and it makes me download it all again.
Does anyone know what I can do?
Id be happy if someone could help with my partitioning problem if they cant help with my restore problem.
Thanks for the time,
Dan

Lion Recovery Assistant should only take a few minutes to download unless you're on the slowest Internet connection known to man. Also OS X is NOT like MS Windows that has to be reinstalled at every hickup. It is INCREDIBLY stable. On the computer I'm using right now in the 4+ years I've owned it it has NEVER needed the OS reinstalled and is totally stable. I have upgraded it from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard and now Lion. It has been through countless updates and still continues to work like it is a new machine.

I'm trying to restore my 3GS but can't remember the password, I don't want to do a complete restore as I'll lose all my data. HELP!!

I'm trying to restore my 3GS from a previous back-up point on my PC, but I can't remember the password and if I wrote it down I can't find it. I don't want to do a complete factory restore as I'll lose all my data (phone numbers etc) and I still won't be able to access the restore data. Can anyone help?

If you forgot the passcode for the lock screen, follow this article, connect in recovery mode iOS: Unable to update or restore and restore: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
If you can't remember the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
iTunes: About iOS backups
iTunes and encrypted backups
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Error 3014 when restoring my 3GS. What do I do?
Tried to sync phone. Insufficient space by 100 mb. Removed all audio, same message when syncing, although almost 4 gb free. Backed up to iCloud, then tried to restore when Error 3014 came up whilst restoring. What next, as restore stops at this point?

Unable to restore Iphone 3GS 1604 Error

Hello,
I have been trying for hours to restore Iphone 3GS in XP. All i did was click "yes" to update iphone and now I am in a mess. Tried reinstalling, different ports, different cables, still unable to restore.

I'm not sure, or else more people would be posting about it. Best way to tell is try at a different time.
Also, you could try putting the phone in Forced Recovery mode as outlined in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
Also, are you using iPhone cables or iPod cables? If you're using the appropriate cable and the same thing happens, then hopefully your phone is still within warranty and you can go to an Apple Store for the Genius Bar.

How to restore iPhone 3gs with error code 1015 ??

The only advice we can give is to try and put it into DFU mode and restore. If that doesn't fix it, buy a new phone.
There is a reason that Jailbreaking isn't supported. You have just been kicked in the donkey by it.
