Since we don't have a crystal ball, its very hard for anyone to tell you why it might not activate if you don't provide details...
What happens when you try?  What error message do you get?  Was the phone previously jailbroken or unlocked?

    This is most likely because it was jailbroken.  In which case, your phone is now permanently disabled.

    Were those items purchased or downloaded under a different apple ID than what you are logged into on the phone?

  • Iphone could not activate after software update

    iphone could not activate after software update (iSO5). it reads, on itunes, "there is no sim card on the iphone", even though there is one in the phone. i tried taking the sim out and re-inserting it, but the same problem still repeats. Anyone to help?

    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
    Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • Ive backed up my phone and restored it after updating the software and now a lot of my apps have waiting next to them and i cant access them from the interface

    Ive backed up my phone and restored it after updating the software and now a lot of my apps are greyed out and i cant access them via the phone interface
    I can only access them via the App store

    I did plug it into itunes and then backed it up to the cloud (im actually wondering if thats my problem)
    then restored it from the cloud. 
    Maybe I should restore it from the computer (when its plugged into itunes?)
    thanks sberman

  • HT201412 phone will not activate after restore

    My iphone 3gs will not activate after restore.

    That's almost always because the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the original carrier.
    Where EXACTLY did you get the phone? Did you or a previous owner ever get it "unlocked" by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to?

  • Iphone does not activate after update

    My Iphone 3 does not activate after last update. What can I do? The system does not let me pass the activation process so it is totally useless now.

    There are a number of things:
    1. iPhone 3G cannot update to 6.1.2 the highest IOS is 4.2.1.
    2. This is a sign that your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken.

  • My iphone 3gs is not activating after updating my software with i tunes...what shall i do? cant i go back to my normal version which was ios 4.1

    my iphone 3gs which is not associated with this accunt is not activating after updating the sof tware, it connects to i tunes but i tunes says "we arh your unable to continue with your activation at this time, please try again later or contact customer care". my iphone aslo just says it cannot be activated or something like that every time i try. i have been waiting for 4 hours now but it still hasnt worked. how can i uninstal this update and go back to my old version which ws ios 4.1 or or ios 4,3. i dont even know what version it updated to, im assuming it is ios5 but not sure. it says try connecting to i tunes as well but it is connected and i tunes cant activate it either. my phone is connect to a wifi but it stll says no service.
    i will really appreciate some help.
    thanks.

    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.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    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?

  • Updated iphone 5 from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2 lost connection, then could not activate after restore

    bought an ipone 5 from an apple store in Orlando. used it with T-mobile in Vienna without a problem until I updated it from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2. the phone kept "searching" for the signal, but was not able to connect. Then I wanted to "restore" the phone. but this time the phone started giving me "can not activate iphone" error.
    *restoring was finished, iphone is opening, after seeing the apple symbol, choosing the country, language and the wifi network then its giving the error. I tried restoring it from itunes in a restore mode but still didnt work
    Anyone faced this problem?

    Ok after reading a few posts I relalise you can not down grade os on iphones and never have been able to.
    But how come I can't factory reset my phone properly? sure factory reset will mean it will reset the phone and its os to the os that it built with with was ios5?
