Updated to iOS 6, now cannot activate phone

After updating to iOS 6, my 4s will not activate. *228 says it cannot process the request. 33. Tried hard reboot, restoring iPhone. Tried earlier backup from iCloud. No luck. Still get same error message about activation.

Hello everyone!
I am so sorry to hear that so many people are having such trouble with their update. I know that many things can happen when you do an update. It could not have loaded all the files completely. You could have lost signal momentarily and the update did not come through properly. Do you have signal where you are at? Has anything happened over the past few days? If a restore did not assist, a phone replacement may be in order if you are still under warranty. Please let us know!
Thanks!

Forgot passcode to iPhone 4, restored, and now cannot activate phone

I forgot the passcode to my iPhone 4. Then I tried to connect it to iTunes to restore it. I was able to back it up to my computer and to take the pictures off of my phone, but I was still unable to open it. At that point, I clicked restore to factory settings and everything was extracted and I now have the screen that says "hello" and pick your language, etc...but when the phone tries to activate, it suddenly says "activation error," try again later or contact support.
Thank you!

Was the phone ever jailbroken?

Error 1603 after trying to update to ios 5 now phone is bricked stuck in recovery mode

Try this - download a program called rec boot. follow the instructions to kick it out of recovery mode. and does itunes recognise
or hold the power and home button together until you see a "connect to itunes" pic on the screen
hope it helps

If you didn’t erase the drive and install using you AppleID, then the OS and the purchased apps are still registered to the other AppleID. You cannot change that by logging into iCloud. Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to purchase/download them.
You have to erase the drive and download/install the Apps using your AppleID.

I have a iphone 5 and just updated to ios 8 now i have extended lte where it use to say verizon lte

This is being discussed in more detail, but without a solution, in another thread: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/840295?tstart=0
I am having the same problem with my new iPhone 5s since I installed the current software 8.1.2 yesterday after activating the phone at a Verizon store in Tucson, AZ. My zip code is 84745.
So far I have no battery problems, but that's probably because I have cellular off except when I need it. I am usually on WiFi at home/work as my old 4s was one of the phones that, after an earlier software upgrade, chewed data up for no reason.

After updating to iOS 5, I cannot retrieve Yahoo Mail

After updating to iOS 5, I cannot retrieve up to date Yahoo Mail. It successfully connects. But it only shows some old emails. Nothing current. I've deleted the Yahoo connector and recreated it. Same thing. I know I have new emails waiting in my Yahoo Inbox, yet they're not showing on my iPhone.
Any ideas?

I fixed Yahoo Mail on my 3GS with iOS 5: In Settings, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", I reduced "Show" to "50 Recent Messages"
It had been set to "200 Recent Messages"
I also have an Exchange and MobileMe account setup on the phone.
I guess that there is not enough memory or something with iOS 5 on some devices to hold 200 Recent Messages from multiple accounts.
Hope this helps!

Please i purchased my iphone from a friend and i updated the ios and now its showing invalid sim

please i purchased my iphone from a friend and i updated the ios and now its showing invalid sim. please i need help because i have to use my phone at the office tomorrow.

ASk your friend who unlock the phone for him/her.
ONly the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.
bAse on your description, it sounds like your friend had his/her phone hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages

Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages. With previous versions everything worked fine. The only way to read the full text is to answer the mail. Thank you for your help. Regards.

Close out of the mail app. Double tap the home button, find the mail app hold down until you see the red minus sign and hit that. then go back into the mail app and open an email you should now be able to read the full content of the email.

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?

Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps..
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

Updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

HT201407 I did update to iOS 7 now I can't access face time , says can connect to network , I am connected to wifi can only see my Ipad on find my iPhone can't locate my iPhone 5 though?

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.
