TS3297 Did a "Restore and Update" now I can't activate my iPhone 4s
When I saw that iOS7 was finally avaible to download, I immediately clicked on it to start it however it said I needed at least 3gb of memory to do so and I did not have that. I looked on my usage on itunes and I saw that I had 3.6Gb of "other". I wasn't sure why I had that much "other" data on my phone so I searched the web and found that that much "other" data usually corresponds to corrupted data and the solution was to do a restore to the phone. I then did the "restore and update" on itunes after backing up my phone then found that when iOS7 had been put onto my phone but it wouldn't let me activate it. When I tried to do so over wifi it said "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." My phone was already connected to iTunes during the first time but when it tried to connect to my phone I got an error message from iTunes saying: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." My network connection is active so I don't know whats going on. I've gone through the activation process a number of times and even tried restoring my phone again by holding down the lock and home button for awhile. I've looked over the apple support page a little bit but I'm pretty sure there is nothing there that will help me. Someone please help fix this problem, I need my phone back. Thank you in advance for your feedback and for your time.
I also have the exact same problem you have. My Iphone 4s is also stuck and won't activate. I've looked through the Apple forums and see that many other people have the same problem. Supposbly Apple is having problems with their servers. So I guess we have to wait

I wasupdating and restoring my iphone last night and then i was goign through the prompts on my phone to set it back up again. it asked which iphone do you want to back up to and i picked the iphone i thought was mine. Turns out i picked my Dad's iphone!!!! so now everything that is on his iphone is now on mine; contacts,apps, everything. So i thought i could restore it again and try it over but now everytime i plug my iphone5 into the computer for itunes it keeps asking me to set it up as a new iphone or back it up to an ipod. does anyone know how to fix this?????
Have you tried resetting your device? Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If you see the Apple, then the reset is processing and you should see your Home screen shortly.

3rd step doesn't do anything and ends with no syncing happening. I can go to the app store and manually install an app but would like to be able to
so the full sync.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My phone is an iPhone 3gs too, and last night actually it said the same thing, "No Sim Card" and my friend and I started panicking but I did what I call a "Forced Reboot" where you hold down the Home and Power buttons until you see the apple logo. DO NOT RELEASE UNTIL THEN otherwise you are just shutting it down. So, I did that and it worked again....

IPhone 5 stuck on restoring and updating.
My iPhone 5 on ios 7.0.6 won't restore and update. I can't turn it and and have tried different computers and usb ports and still nothing is happening. I've tried putting it into dfu mode and still nothing happens. On the iphone screen it shows an Apple logo with the progress bar not updating. iTune is up to date.
Ok try putting it in DFU mode to restore it
1.hold the home and power button for 10 seconds
2. Release the power button and keep holding the home button for 15 seconds In tunes it will say it is in recovery mode the screen should be black or not on at all and will not respond to anything
After you get it in DFU mode try restoring in iTunes
To get out of DFU mode hold the home and power button until you see the apple logo
This should allow you to restore it because I had problems similar to this before -

I had to update the software on my iphone 4 so I could get icloud and backup everything on my phone, so I can go this morning and get an iphone 5, but when I did it did a restore and took everything off my phone, like aps, pictures and music. They are in the itunes library, but I dont know how to get them back on my phone. It only allows me to sync with my phone, which is empty???
Can anyone help me?If the information is in iTunes on the computer you have synced with in the past another sync, being sure you select the items you want on the iphone, should copy those things back to the iPhone.

Hi I tried to update my iPhone 5 to ios7 I followed everything it told me to do it started to verify switched its self off came up with a symbol that indicated to plug into iTunes I did that it then said restore so I pressed to restore and update a message then came up on iTunes that my iPhone is in recovery and couldn't restore I need help I don't no what to do
Just some possible solutions, try and see:
- Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
- Reboot your laptop.
- Clear hosts (windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts)
- Remove the iOS 7 ipsw and let iTunes download a new one (press WINDOWS KEY + R and type %appdata%, then navigate to Apple Computer/iTunes/Software Updates and remove the ipsw).
- Don't forget to close iTunes before doing these actions.
- Try a different USB port.
- Completely remove iTunes (also from registry and stuff) and re-install.
- Try on a different computer. -
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 understand that you attempted an update on your daughter’s iPhone but the update will not complete. For this type of situation, it may be necessary to place your iPhone into recovery mode and restore. Please use the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.
