How to set up black Iphone 3 or 3g?
I got a black iPhone 3. I'm not sure which one it is but it's the third one. I turn it on and it takes me through the simple process. First language, then Region, then it makes me connect to Wi-Fi so I'll try that and then it says "It may take a few minutes to activate your iPhone" and in the end it says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.".So I'll try to connect to through itunes on my laptop and after a while it'll say "We're sorry. We were unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer support." I tried costumer support but I don't know my serial number. Please help?
Added (1). I only have the phone, no box and I'm not sure what carrier. Nor do I have the equipment to open her up
Your serial number is located on the box. If you really mean you got the third iPhone, I'm assuming you have the iPhone 3GS.
When you are unable to activate, it means that you either do not have the SIM card in the phone or there are too many people activating at the time and you'll just have to wait for a later time.
For help, you could call Customer Support again OR you could visit your carriers store (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile) for direct activation or you could visit an Apple Store to help you with any problems you may have.
- My iphone went black but not totally black and i don't know what to do? So i was on my phone and i opened up the snapchat app and it just froze and went black but not totally black like how it is when it is off you can still see a little light. I really have to have it for tomorrow and i don't know what to do, i tried pressing the home and top button at the same time but its not doing anything.
- Iphone has white screen black apple logo frozen it occasionally goes black then that screen shows up again screen went red once? I held the home and power buttons and it showed me that the battery was super low with the little red lines hasn't shown me that since now it's just frozen on black apple logo with white background and the screen flickers occasionally i've had it plugged into the wall charging for 2 hours now and still nothing should I go get it looked at by apple or do I just leave it charging longer?
- If I set up a new iphone from an icloud backup, what happens to the old iphone? Will the data and apps automatically be deleted from the old iphone, or will it stay there until i delete it manually?
- If I erase all settings + data on iPhone and set up as new iPhone? I recently sold my iPhone, before erasing all data and settings I was logged into my iCloud, when I setup the iPhone again I just put in any E-mail and password for iCloud, is they any possible way they will be able to access my iCloud if they were to log out of that account? Probably a stupid question but just want to be 100% sure.
