Won't start after restoring! HELP!

I have just restored my iphone 3gs on o2 back to its normal settings, i did this through itunes on my laptop. I turned my iphone back on and its given me the usual questions to activate it, but when it tries to activate the iphone, it just says 'your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or again in a couple of minutes.' But i have done both of these several times and nothings working, any ideas?!
Also, when the phone is plugged into itunes, the itunes just says 'there is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iphone'. The phone aleady had an o2 SIM card in!!!

Was this phone previously hacked to unlock and was previously carrier locked to other than O2? Was it hacked in any way?

I alse got the same problem when i installed db9.0 and oracle appserver 1.2.2.2 on the same machine. SOme config assistant won't start after install.

Hello, yogendra k saini
I'd installed oracle90 and 1.2.2 in different oracle homes. There was no error message. When i pressed the icon. Nothing happens.
Yesterday i installed also a 8.1.7 database on the same machine as the 9.0.1.4 database. After a reinstallation of appserv 1.2.2a everything seems to work fine.
but it is still a mystery for me why, because when i only install a 9.0.1.4 database and appserv 1.2.2.2 something goes wrong. Maybe APpserv 1.2.2. doesn't work fine with 9.0 database. That's not exactly true because i used appserv 1.2.2 for forms en reports...

IMacs won't start after restore

I have a lab of 40 iMacs with different accounts and permissions for each class I teach. At the end of each term I restore all the Macs from one Mac that I keep clean and updated just the way I want it. This way I can start clean. The process has worked well until this term. With the new upgrade, I have a few computers that won't restart after a restore. I've tried again and they seem to be restored using disk restore, but stall out on a screen with an Apple. I get no clock like spin. A few have worked the second time.
I've checked the drive with disk utility on the CD/DVD and there seems to be no disk problem. Running permissions of the cd/dvd just hangs up.
Any help will be appreciated.

The Finder won't tell you the status of the clock batteries unless they are completely drained. Partially drained batteries can cause misbehavior like this. You have to open the computer up and remove the clock battery and test it with a battery tester to see they aren't partially drained.

Ipod touch won't start after restore

Ipod touch 3rd Generation- battery was completely dead after sitting for a week or so. I charged it but couldn't get it to turn on. Went into recovery mode, connected it to the computer and re-loaded everything, but when restore is done, the IPOD still won't start or display in itunes.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod won't start after restore

When I got a new iPod touch 4G, I tried to restore it from a previous backup that I had on my computer. Unfortunately when the iPod was finished restoring, it wouldn't start up! All I got was the screen frozen at the Apple logo with an empty loading bar. I've tried everything from a hard reset, to moving the backup, but it just won't work. When it was synced to my computer (the only time it actually read the device without having to put it in recovery mode), it showed that it had all of the data on it on the summary page. However, the data was not broken up into music, apps, photos, videos, etc. It was only listed as other. I really don't want to lose my data, so I was wondering if there's any way to get the iPod to start with the backup still on it. I had restored to factory settings, and it worked fine, but I'd hate to lose two years worth of data. Neither the computer nor iTunes detected a corrupted file, and a computer system scan did not show anything either, so I'm not sure what the problem is. This has been going on for about a month, and any help would be truly appreciated.

IPhone 5 won't start after restore

Hi there.
Ok, so this is really crap.
I have a shiny new Iphone 5. I have an old 3gs, on ios6. I am attempting to start the phone from an icloud restore.
The download seemed to be fine, but on restarting the progress bar didn't get half way before stopping - for 5 minutes.
So i restarted the phone but now it doesn't get beyond about 10% of the way across.
What an AWESOME phone!!!
Any ideas?

Try to follow Blaze6377 first.
If it doesn't solve your problem.
Here is what I did and it SOLVED! for my iPhone 5:
1. Close iTunes and reopen your iTunes program again.
2. Plug in your iPhone 5 with your computer.
3. Press Power button and Home button together again.
4. This time iTunes will show iPhone 5 will be in recovery mode. Just close the pop up messege in iTunes.
5. My iPhone's screen shows to plug in cable with iTunes. I just remove the cable out from my iPhone instead.
6. Press and hold Power button and Home button together again. It will shows Apple logo first, then disapear, then it shows Apple logo again. At this point, release both buttons.
Under the Apple logo, it will show grey bar (like computer boot up). Just wait and then Voila!. My iPhone came back to normal again.
I did the above processes because I try to avoid from Restore to factory setting.
I hope this help and work with your iPhone as well.
Have a good one!

ITunes won't start after upgrade-HELP!

Portege R830 - Windows won't start after I install Comodo Firewall

Good afternoon,
I purchased today a Portege R830, and after the Windows configuration was over, the first program I installed was the popular free firewall Comodo. After I rebooted, Windows 7 wouldn't start anymore. It would get stuck on the user login screen and I know it's a problem with the firewall because if I make a system restore to the restore point created by the firewall installer, the windows will start again.
So I ask if there is any incompability between the firewall and some software on the Toshiba. Has anyone ever had this problem? I've been trying to solve this issue all day long with no results. I even re-installed Windows 7 using the Toshiba recovery and the issue persists. I really love Comodo, and I want this firewall on my laptop, but Windows just won't start!
Any help would be very apreciated.

Hi jillefsky,
Have you disabled the Windows firewall before you started with Comodo firewall installation? As far as I know Portege R830 is delivered with preinstalled McAfee security software and you should remove this program before you install any other security tools.
Generally speaking this issue has nothing to do with Toshiba and its recommendable to contact Comodo directly. Maybe they know about this issue so they can give you a proper answer.
But I dont understand why this program is so important for you. Windows has already an internal firewall so such programs are not necessary in my opinion. Just install a good antivirus program like AntiVir and activate automatic Windows updates. Thats all!

C3-01 won't start after charging

I'm so angry right now but I will try and be cool about this!
I bought C3-01 mobile phone about four months ago and it is already causing me problems.
The mobile phone simply won’t start after charging. Last time i charged it, it miraculously came to life only, and only after annoying me for about hour and a half. Now I fear it is completely dead!
Battery was not completely empty so the phone should still start even if the wall socket is broken. Which is not, wall socket works perfectly.
Nothing helps! I tried removing the battery and then restart. Removing the battery then removing the sim card, memory card and that piece of “advanced technology” simply won’t start!
I didn’t buy my new phone so that I can use my old Motorola mobile, which btw., still works after 4 years of intense usage.
I will never buy Nokia again!

Hi,
Sorry to hear that your phone is not starting after charging.
I would suggest one more thing, which maybe helps. If you have another battery, please try.
If not, i would recommend to visit Nokia Care Point in your area.
To find your nearest Nokia Care Point, visit http://www.nokia.com/support and select the Repair page.

Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
