Spooky users screen on which Activation ERROR inscription littered, may appear for a number of reasons. Regardless of what exactly led to the "breakdown", the user should be known that the further scenario will require, if not repairing the service, then a certain system rollback and a number of other manipulations. Unfortunately, the more "killed" the smartphone model, the smaller the chances that the activation failure "iPhone" can be corrected. It is important not only to conduct an external inspection of the phone, but also to restore the picture preceding the breakage. This will help to understand why the activation failure of "iPhone" at all occurred, as well as how to behave further. It is likely that it will be necessary not only to roll back. former version) Changes made to the smartphone, but also clean the device itself. However, it will rightly notify that the chances of restoring the smartphone still have.

Why do you need activation

Before thinking about the question, what to do with the activation of "iPhone", some angry users will reproach in the imperfection of the device of developers from Apple Inc. Many adherents of "Apple" more than once were seriously criticized by the activation procedure as inefficient and problematic.

In fact, the activation process of the smartphone helps to individualize it and specify the owner's needs. It is not recommended to skip such a process, because in the future this can lead to a loss of data or to violate the synchronization process. Therefore, the corporation strongly recommends users to pass the activation process every time the device requires.

What is the cause of failure

The most common are two specific problems Ashona activation failure. The first is a hardware, both directly devices and Apple servers.

If the user is asked to wait with the activation process to a certain conditional period, it is possible that the case is in the hardware. This happened when updating iOS 9.3, when the company's servers failed due to the simultaneous startup of the boot process from several million devices. Solve such a problem can be a banal reboot into the least peak periods. I would like to add that Apple's technical support promptly eliminates problems with the workload of the platform.

Modem failure

If the problem is hardware, but the Apple server is in order, it means that the device is in the device. If the "iPhone" writes about the operation of the operation, but another device is updated without problems, the case is most likely in data processing specific device. Check it is quite simple, it is enough to choose the item with the letter "I" circled in the circle, after which it will become clear whether the device is capable of receiving data. This item also shows devices. If not, then it's almost 100% in the smartphone modem.

How to fix it

The hardware failure in the activation of "iPhone" can be eliminated either in the licensed service center for a fairly tangible amount or handicraft technologies.

The latter includes common private services, but even in such an organization, the Master will take the help of the phone with a huge reluctance. The more expensive the device cost, the more expedient to transfer it to the service center, and not try to solve the problem independently.

Also the cause of the "iPhone" activation failure may be short circuit In contacts of the board, where the modem is located. In some cases, there can be a sharp change of temperatures when the smartphone is sharply cooled or on the contrary heated. However, such manipulations are on their own risk.

Software failure

In the case of a software failure, we are talking about the installation of a suspicious software or a shell as a whole. Save the smartphone entirely, as well as system fragments and user data in this case, you can only roll back all changes in the gadget to the previous version.

Therefore, it is recommended to perform these functions not only at the request of software, but also yourself. System rollback can be performed in the usual service, after which there are high chances of resuscitation of the device. Otherwise the gadget will also have to give official servicein which the system is simply demolished and will be renounced, which will also be expensive. Moreover, the owner will have to say goodbye to its files.

Several other causes of activation failure "Iphona"

Immediately the procedure for activating the "iPhone" can be discontinued for a number of other reasons, independent of software. Before going to the service center, it is worth pre-conducting several simple manipulations with the device: check the availability of a SIM card in the nest, rearrange it, then try to activate the device on a new one. It is also recommended to change the Internet channel. It is possible that the next update of the device is too "heavy" or the data packet transmission channel is occupied by another gadget. Another option is to activate the device through iTunes. If it did not help, the service will propose data recovery, after which the device will automatically return to the previous state.

If the device is not registered

The "iPhone" activation failure in the network with a good operation of the Gadget and Apple servers can also be dictated by the fact that a beta version of the firmware was installed on the smartphone. In this case, when released already full version With corrections, a certain number of devices can "fall out" from the register. In this case, it is possible to correct the activation failure of the Iphon activation by switching to the developer site, where the gadget will have to be made to the database of manual methods by entering information. If it did not help, then you need to contact the official service center, after which the device will be properly. If "iPhone" writes activation failure, then it is always a reason to contact the service center.

Sometimes it is difficult to say for sure why the Aphon activation failure occurred. Some factors resulting in error can be interconnected. The owner can only be recommended to conduct a full external inspection of the device, after which it is not to resort to handicraft methods for restoring a gadget, and immediately contact professionals. Almost any precedent of activation failure can be corrected, with the exception of the modem breakdown. Much more destructive are users attempts to independently solve the problem that has arisen, after which the gadget is no longer repaired.

If you have ever dumped all settings iPhone Before the factory, and then tried again, they could completely encounter an activation error. For the reason for the occurrence of this problem, it is difficult to understand, because no useful information on the iPhone screen In this case, does not give, but only advises to contact technical support Apple. But since this process is long enough, you can try to fix it yourself.

Try again

During the occurrence of the error, hold the HOME button until the bottom menu appears, and then click "Try again." You get to the initial page of the settings and you can try to activate the iPhone again. Often to obtain the desired result it is necessary to do this procedure 5-7 times.

If it does not help, go to the next step.

Use a working SIM card

Usually, activation problems occur when the phone is trying to activate without a SIM card. Insert the working SIM card in the iPhone and try activating the smartphone again. In the event that it does not help, run activation using a cellular network, disconnecting Wi-Fi. Most users helps exactly this solution.

Sometimes an activation error occurs through the fault of the telecom operator, which for incomprehensible reasons deviates it. I think many remember, with what problems had to face Bilain subscribers, although in this case we are talking about a friend. Try inserting a single operator's SIM card and activate the iPhone. After that, you can again use your former number.

Why is an iPhone constantly asking for an Apple ID password? Usually, this problem occurs after the update or recovery iPhone. Also, this problem may occur under other circumstances. The iPhone is not loaded, the password is entered correctly, and with your account there are no problems, but you continue to receive an annoying notification that makes the use of the gadget unbearable.

Usually, this happens with unsuccessful downloads that are not displayed directly on the main screen. Sometimes this problem is associated with incorrect setting Your ICloud, IMESSAGE, FACETIME or App Store..

So what to do when your phone continues to request an Apple ID password?

From time to time, often after a major iOS updatesYou get notifications in ICloud, which require you authorized. It continues again and again.

After that, slide the slider that appears to the right and wait for the smartphone reboot.

Reset

2. Scroll down the page down and click "Reset".

Check application updates

All you need to do is open the App Store and check the history of purchased applications. Make sure there is nothing that at the moment is loaded, or updated. They may not be displayed on your main screen, so the best way - It is to check everything yourself.

Then you can open your write settings in iTunes and App Store ("Settings" → "iTunes" → "App Store") and transfer the report on your Apple ID. After that, register it again. It can help you find a problem and track the reason for its appearance.

Hey! It doesn't matter what you did in order to get an error of activation failure. Reset the content and settings, have been stitched, fulfilled the update, recovered - any of these actions leads to the fact that the device must be activated again. Yes, yes, yes, you will have to pass exactly the same procedure as the first inclusion of the gadget. And here we can raise one very big and large ambush.

the iPhone or iPad is easily able to warn that the activation is not possible, because: "Your iPhone failed to activate, since the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try to connect the iPhone to iTunes to activate or try again in a few minutes. If the problem is not eliminated, contact Apple Support: Apple.com/ru/Support.

It would seem that everything is very logical. The server is unavailable, Apple has problems, waiting for a failure and swearing on the company. However, not everything is so unequivocal.

And in general, if you encountered such a message, then I will have two news for you, good and bad. And let's start with a bad ...

IPhone activation failure - everything is very bad

Why is the title written that everything is very bad? Because, it is quite possible "died" modem in the device. Indirectly, it can be confirmed by the fact that connecting the gadget to a computer and iTunes, absolutely nothing happens - no activation or something, at least remotely similar to it.

There is another way to test this terrible guess, press the "Letter I in a circle" icon on the welcome screen.

After pressing, on normal and working iPhoneThe serial number of the device should appear. If IMEI does not appear, but only standards are written, etc. I have bad news, a modem in your iPhone or Aipad ordered a long time to live. Naturally, with a similar malfunction, the activation of the device is impossible. What to do?

• Contact your service, the price of repair is not very large (relative to the cost of the device), but no one gives for such repair of the unit and guarantees.
• You can try to put in the freezer (at your own risk and risk!), There is a possibility that contacts will be "as it should" at least for a while, and it turn out to be activated.
• Warm hair dryer (also at your own risk!) - The effect is similar to freezing (it can manifest itself, and maybe not).

It is necessary to understand that the last two points, it is of course the "collective farm" and perform them very carefully. But some helps. By the way, to update the firmware on such gadgets is useless, during this operation, get an error.

All that is described above is not your case? Imei is displayed and modem is normal? Go to the next item!

iPhone on iOS 11 and iOS 12 is not activated after resetting settings

This text is updating the article after the release of the iOS 11 firmware.

We have already managed to discuss this situation in the comments, but for those who are too lazy to read, here's a brief excerpt from all this.

The essence of the problem:

From the output of iOS 11 apple company changed its policy regarding unofficial repair iPhone.. If unoriginal components were installed in the device, then after the procedure for resetting the settings and content, you can get a "brick" - activate the phone will not be possible.

Who is in the risk zone? Devices (running iOS 11 and iOS 12), which:

• Ever repaired (with the replacement of spare parts -, modem, wi-Fi module and Bluetooth) in unauthorized service centers.
• These are the so-called "hand-restored" iPhone (smartphones collected in incomprehensible by whom and where) - unscrupulous sellers are very often selling them under the guise of new ones.

What's happening?

At the inclusion step (after resetting and the content or firmware recovery), the iPhone sends data about the components installed inside it on the Apple server. If this information does not coincide with the database of the "apple" company, then the device activation is blocked.

So, and what about this now to do?

1. If there is a guarantee - use it.
2. Some unofficial service centers may try to solve this problem using special equipment. But, as a rule, no one gives any guarantees - even if the activation failure will be able to "go around" now, then in the future everything can happen.

Here is such a sad story. However, it is not at all necessary that the error occurs precisely because of this ...

iPhone failed to activate - the server or ...

In fact, failure can occur for various reasons. And the right solution will check everything in order, went!

• Check if the SIM card is inserted and is it working? The advice is certainly very obvious, but everything happens.
• Make sure that you have access to the Internet.
• Apple server is not available - at the moment? This often happens in the days of the release of new versions ios.. Many people around the world are trying to get as quickly as possible. new firmware And the server simply does not withstand such an influx of those who want. In this case, you just need to wait ...
• Use another Internet connection. Some Wi-Fi network Can be configured so that you block access to Apple servers.
• Use iTunes to activate (required!)
• Make a hard reboot of the iPhone or iPad. Clamp hOME buttons And POWER - Do not let them out until the iPhone turn off.

By the way, the reason for Activation Error can also become the fact that the iPhone has been installed a beta version of the firmware, and the device was not registered in the program of developers. In this case, the text of the error will be like this:

This Device Is Not Registered AS Part of The iPhone Developer Program ...

In this case, you need to go to the Apple Developer Portal (developer.apple.com) and register a gadget.

As you can see, the reason for the iPhone when activating gives a failure, there may be a variety of situations.

From banal - the absence of the Internet, to very complex - breakdowns of the modem and the newly-made "IOS 11 syndrome". And if the first are solved quite simply (wait, change the SIM card, etc.), then the second ("iron" problems) are corrected only with the participation of a competent specialist service Center. But I sincerely hope that this is not your case.
