Why cant i activate my phone HELP PLEASE

why is the activaion server not available

If setting up as new device without using any backup does not help, you'll have to get it serviced. Setting up as new device is explained here:

Perhaps, if you stop ranting - and stop typing in capitals (which is regarded as shouting), then you may get somewhere. But since I'm so nice...
A good place to start for help is here, in these discussions and then proceed by explaining the probelm clearly.
Let's start by crossing out anything that isn't relevant:

So, are we to assume that a band you like, produce albums with songs on them that you already have, on other albums?
If so, that's down to the band, not Apple. The only answer to that is that you should check for yourself whether you already have a particular song and if you do, don't buy it again. However, you should also consider that buying the full album (with a song you don't want) may be cheaper than buying the individual songs that you do want.

HT4623 why cant i continue my phone usage after updating without a sim card

why cant i continue using my iphone 4 after an update with out having a sim card

I'm not sure what you mean. You can't use any cellphone without a SIM (except for CDMA phones which don't use SIMs at all). What is your exact situation? Do you mean that you have been using your iPhone as an iPod and now after the update it's requiring activation? If that's what you mean, then you will need a valid SIM, for the cell carrier your iPhone is locked to if it is locked, so you can re-activate the iPhone. You don't need active service with the carrier, though.
If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further.
Regards.

Why cant i activate my iPhone on IOS 7?

I downloaded IOS 7 using itunes on my computer. The first thing that happened was, iTunes shut down after the IOS 7 install, which made me lose all my contact info, i wasn't too mad about that, so i reset to factory settings. After that was finished, i starting configuring my iPhone, and when it says it is activating my iphone, it says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached, try connecting your iPhone to iTunes, or try again in a few minutes" , i have done both of these things multiple times and nothing has worked... please tell me why this update ruined my phone...

same problem.

HT4623 Why cant i activate my used IPhone 3gs?

I just bought this IPhone 3gs from Ebay, connected to ITunes, now i cant even get to the home screen, ITunes cannot activate my phone. What can i do?

probably because the phone was hacked to unlock it.

When I try to sync my I phone 4 to my mac air it won't show up only my iPad not the phone help please

When I try to sync my iphone to Itunes on my mac air ti will not come up
My ipad works ok but not the phone help please

Hello Canonball,
It sounds like your iPhone is not showing in iTunes so it will not sync, but your iPad works fine. If you have already restarted your phone, (Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430), I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Restart your Mac.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

That's because you can't change your iCloud email address.
You can change the AppleID address associated with your iCloud account at http://appleid.apple.com/
Or you can setup a new email alias to your existing iCloud address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
But you cannot change the primary email address for an existing iCloud account. If you want a completely new iCloud email address you need to create a new iCloud account using a different AppleID.

HT201210 i cant restore my i phone 3gs please help

please help my i phone wont turn on its only showing apple logo i cant restore it i went through steps and it comes up error it tells me also contact the hardware vendor for software

Can you explain what is not working for you?
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". This assumes you have a backup. If you do not, you will have to download all your purchased iTunes content again. You do not have to pay for anything you already purchased.
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help

3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
