what shall i do my iphone showing activation failed during startup?
Hi funkeyankey,
It sounds like your phone is not activating correctly when you are trying to set it up. I would recommend the troubleshooting from the following article named:
Get help activating your iPhone
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
Check the system status for iOS Device Activation. If the iOS Device Activation status isn't green, try activating your iPhone later.
Restart the iPhone.
Try to reach the activation server another way, then try to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you can't activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you can't activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you try to activate your iPhone, place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you still can't complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
If you're asked to enter a password to proceed with activating the iPhone, Activation Lock might be enabled as part of Find my iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

HT4623 Why does my iphone say "Activation Error" during the updating process?
after updating my iphone, the process is like asking the language, then the country, and then the wifi right? after i connected to the wifi, i pressed "next" then it says "Activating your Iphone" then suddenly it says "Activation Error". what does this mean? can i just restore the previous version of this iphone again?
You cannot install the previous version. "Activaton error" usually means that the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to. It is now locked again to that carrier.

IPhone configuration utility fails during install
Hi, I'm trying to use the iPhone configuration to setup the APN settings on an iphone 4, but every time I try to install, it says the configuration profile cannot be installed on device. When I look at the console, there doesn't really appear to be any type of error that stands out. Why would this keep failing to install for. It's the 3.6 version on a 6.0 IOS This apple stuff is such a pain?
Here is the log after trying to install the profile.

IPhone APPs keep quitting during startup
I have several Apps on my iPhone which, after using once, will quit and return to the home screen upon startup. Has anyone else had this problem?
I have already tried removing and reinstalling the App, which will work once and then quit every time after that until I reinstall it.
Any Suggestions? Thanks in advance.For other tips, see: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the app store, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702

C Apple, i need to know few things,first of all i shall tell my scenario. I got an iphone 3gs from my uncle in US..after long waiting. I m from south india, living at God's country called Kerala k. well , in that iphone it showing activation screen and trying to activate. not more than that..plz help!
means.. in simple words, it is trying to activate and all( searching wifi,, taking few minutes..again searching...if it couldnt find any wifi - telling .. try connect using itunes an all)...well any way. finally I try connect to a wifi network, with full speed...3mbps..from Ravi's internet cafe in downtown.
All after Im getting the below message from that white candy box!( thats all I can use now, because, in my dreams iPhone is something great, that mankind ever seen....but this really disappointed me......im simpling blinking!!(same with itunes too)
""Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
If this problem persists, contact apple support at apple.com/support""
EVERYDAY .EVERTIME.. I C this message and sleep....no use.....and i use to charge that 'white candy box' to c this message!
I try searching internet and all for solutn...but no one knw about it..but there are...some one me abt method called jailbreaking ..rednw..white snw ..ultrasnw and all...I dnt knw why it is so complicated to troublesht...apple is suppose to be simple and friendly.
C why u manufacturing these stuffz like this, if does'nt serve the any of its purpose ....or useable to any of its features atleast....C i wont be that disapppointed, if u put an option to playbck music or video during activation and all...
If you are responsible for manfacturing such unuseable thing, then its ur responsible to destroy it too.....
anyway now everyone knws that ..I have an apple iphone with me, but that doest make me proud at all...
Finally I have only few questions to ask...
1 will it work with my vodafone sim in kerala?
2 is any way , i can hear any music out frm it?
3 will i become a proud iPhone user?
I am already fedup with asking questions..begging for an solution.....
I hope so you can help to figure it out, without any complications....thank u!It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
In order to allow it to be used on a different carrier, the phone was hacked or jailbroken. An unauthorized modification was made to the phone. That modification has damaged the phone. You can not get support for it here or from Apple. -
During the updation of 10.7 version of Itunes on my iphone 4s, my phone has gone into recovery mode & is not showing up in i Tunes nor in my computer (windows xp). What shall i do so that my phone gets connected & running??
Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Hello everybody
I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soonI can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue

I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service. What shall i do? any help please.
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -
I am trying to upgrade my iphone 4 with the new information. The device is still downloading on the itunes page after 10 hours. What shall I do? Will unplugging it lost my information? Help!
Doing the same. Progress bar not moving at all, but it does show 3 hours remaining instead of the 4 hours it did a couple of minutes ago. Go to summary. does it say "iTunes is currently downloading software for the iPhone" ?
My phone went on and it still says phone disabled with the added little gem of my sim now also being locked. -

When I go to settings-music-and try to enable iTunes Match on my iPhone it says "iTunes Match will replace the music library on this device" I don't want to do that it only has 61 of my 7GB of songs.
