IPhone :: Getting A Pop Up That Says Security Info Required?
Apr 23, 2012
Why am I getting a pop up that says Security info required? I just enetered my password and it asks for it again, then wants security questions filled in?
iPhone 4s: why does app store keep popping up "security info required"? This happens after I put in my password. Is this something to be concerned about?
i get into appstore trying to download a free app then it pop up "security info required" ** This happens after I put in my password i choose 3 questions and answers as it want me to after i've filled in all, and choose 'Done',iPhone seems sending data, then Done button is back available again i keep 'Done' for several times. i supposed it would finish and continue to download an app i'm trying to but there is nothing continue and i got stucked at that page !! i cannot download any app?
I created my apple id willing to install few free apps on my iphone 4s. Everytime i select any free app it requests for password which looks good but then ,it asks me to verify my payment options , i would like to know ,Why ? I am getting free apps on my phone and not purchasing anything for which card info is required . This should not be happening for free applications.Is there anyway we can get this to work without having put the account info of card ?
On my iphone4, I cant download any more apps until I have updated my security info. They automatically take me to a security info page, there are 5 blank questions i must fill in e.g. whatwas first job I had. but every time I select answer it refreshes the page, so i can never finish updating the security info and thus i cannot download/install any more apps on my iphone.It is very weird because I already have ONE security question on my apple ID, so why do I need more?And the fact it refreshes etc worries me that im being hacked/a virus of some sort I cannot change my security info anywhere except on my phone it seems?I tried on my apple ID, but its different, as thats not the same format, it is only one Q, whereas i was asked 5 on my iphone?
iphone says have to update payment info and saying security code is wrong, iv'e tried multiple things debit and credit cards and nothing? i can't download any kind of app w/out it asking to update info.Also have tried updating through apple store and still saying its wrong
I set the trace a pattern security system for the phone. Later when trying to do two things at once I got the pattern wrong five times. I then compounded the problem by getting the succeeding attempts wrong as well until the phone locked me out. Like many others it seems I set-up my gmail account without recording the pertinant details, gmail address and password, these are the requirements to unlock the phone. The official X10 user guide is no help on the subject. I have also been to various websites looking for advice and have found no information at all, apart from don't do it of course! I went to a phone shop and their advice was to use PC Companion to reset the phone but of course I need to mount the phone in order that the software sees it. I am resigned to resetting the phone as the solution as I am backed up but even if I reset I will still need the gmail info to enable all of the Google features. I know it is the result of being a dufus but it seems like a bit of a terminal cul-de-sac at the moment.
I have changed my password and I forget it, so now my blackberry is locked. And it is on its last attempt before being my information being clear. I haven't backed up my datas, is there any other way to recover it? I don't want to lose all of my datas, there are some important ones.
I've had this iPhone for almost a year now and now more than once it's has messed up on me.I go to try and download a free app but it then asks me for my billing information. Everything on there is correct and has not changed in over a year.Everytime I submit it a message says "security code invalid" but it is in fact correct... I've tried calling apple and they were no help... I know many ppl have this problem I have money in my card the number and info has not been changed I just don't have answers anymore.I tried to see with wifi and it doesn't matter it still asks me for my billing info trying to download or update anything...
It's driving me up the wall! I can't install any Apps on my iPhone until I fill in at least 3 security questions and a back-up e-mail. There's just one problem... when I click on the third 'question' box, to choose a question. It highlights blue but doesn't do anything. So I can't finish filling it in! What do I do?
I read on the front page how others were having the proximity issue like I was and that if you did a reset of settings then it could fox it. So I went ahead and did that. I went in and started changing all my settings back and I realized that the only option I had for my passcode was to require it immediately and not after 5 min like I usually do. I've done some searching and saw that a google or exchange account could cause this. But I only have mobile me.So that can't be it. The only other option I've seen is to do a complete restore.Whig I'd really like to stay away from. Does anyone have any ideas?
I just chatted with a premier rep. about my concern that I being 18 with no credits would not qualify to get an iphone 4, so can I buy the phone under my moms name and then get my discount added?. To this, he said no that the line has to be under my name inorder to get the discount.But the good news that he gave me is this----"You would qualify for an iphone 4 with no credits as you would be buying it from premier store using your college email and with premier discount".So what do you guys think about this, was the rep right or was he just running away from the situation.
My iPhone 4s, which I've been using for 3+ months, today displayed "activation required". But when I try to activate, it says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support. Needless to say, connecting to iTunes doesn't work - "The software on the iPhone has expired and must be updated to a newer version".
my iPhone has started to lose signal then when you reboot it it comes up with the message activation required. When I unlock the phone it tells me to connect to iTunes. When I do this I have to restore the phone and restart it using my back up, but it keeps happening.
I have read through all the forums, be it in Apple Communities or elsewhere, tried all means (uninstall and re-install, delete the Common files folder, etc...etc...etc) but I still cannot resolve this problem:
I am currently using ITunes 11.2.2Â 64-bit versionÂ
My iPhone 5c goes into Activation Required mode about 5-10 times per day and always overnight. Therefore my alarms do not work, can't receive texts or calls. I have to be in wifi to be able to re activate the phone. Once in wifi it takes me to the Apple ID log in page. Once I put in the info it takes me right back to the home screen as normal.
How to connect the iphone 5 on my pc i get this message: "You can use this iPhone because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes and then reinstall iTunes." I have done several times but the problem is not solved, searching on the forum i see that maybe the official version 64 bits, but does not accept me at my computer installation.
When you either sync you iphone or just connect it to itunes? In other words, if you plug in your iphone and there is an update possible, itunes forces your iphone to update. Can they legally do that and if so, would they ever do that?
I need an app that uses the iphone's camera and i can somehow view it on my computer so i can use it as a spy camera, i have an iphone 4 ios 4.0.1 and it's jailbroken
My iphone 3gs (ios5.1) loses signal every so often and when I turn the phone off and back on again it says activation required. I have to turn it off and on up to 15 times to get signal back and to lose the activation required message.
How do you reference a previous iphone sms conversation without cancelling (destroying) the current message? Copy and paste is a clunky and dangerous method on a touch screen... With Apple being a UI focused corporation, this is a major oversight.
A few days ago I got an email from someone who looked familiar to my contacts so I opened it but soon realized it was spam with a weird link, and quickly deleted it without clicking the link. My phone started acting funny so I turned it off and back on and it told me "Activation Required", so I did and all of my setting preferences were lost, like my ringtone and read receipts and all the little things that annoy me. (I've had this phone for over a year) Then I opened Instagram and it had kicked me out so I immediately changed my password. All of my other social media was fine and let me in. I set all of my preferences again but it keeps asking me if I want read receipts like every time I message. Also every single time I turn my phone on it requires activation. If it was spam, what do I do to clear it without losing absolutely everything? And is there a way for me not to activate every time I turn it on?
Yesterday, my iPhone 5 disabled and connect to itunes required. After connecting to itunes, I was restore my iphone. But now, I have lost all contacts lists, message content, notes.
I have a new iphone 3gs. Just got it yesterday. I hooked it up to Itunes and it connected. But gave me some errors that it couldn't sync due to required file not found. I unplugged the iphone and restarted the PC. Plugged it back in and then it gave an error. It cannot read the contents of the iphone go to the summary page and do a restore. I did a full restore and put it back to factory settings. Plugged it in and Itunes saw it but again would not sync due to file not found or other errors. Unplugged it and back in and now it again says it cannot read the contents of the iphone and I need to do a restore. I tried 2 other computers it says the same thing.
I know that purchasing an iPhone at the subsidized prices will result in the extension of one's contract but how exactly would they see to it that this is done w/o forcing you to activate in-store?I ask because I'm leaving for Argentina soon and want to get the iPhone 4 at the $200 price point before I leave (phones in Argentina cost millions of dollars ). I plan on jailbreaking and unlocking it whenever the relevant software comes out (along with doing the whole cutting the SIM thing) but in the meanwhile, would I be able to continue using my current iPhone (first gen) on the line that I am upgrading?To lay it out, there are two lines on the account. Both due for an upgrade. Mom will upgrade her line to new iPhone and will activate and use as normal. I upgrade my line to new iPhone but don't activate and instead use current iPhone on that line until I leave and then give it to a sibling to take over the number (I don't think I have a choice but to give up my number). 1st gen phone doesn't have 3g so I have $20 unlimited plan. Agent already told me that an upgrade to the new iPhone will cause me to move over to one of the new data plans but I'm still unclear as to when I would have to choose the plan. At home via iTunes or what? Do they end up charging you the full amount of the phone if they find that you haven't upgraded your plan to one of the new ones (and indication that you aren't using the new iPhone yet)?I was already told that in the event that I lose my iPhone 4 or it gets broken, or whatever, I can simply use another phone with an ATT SIM (or swap the micro-SIM and use an adapter), give the IMEI number and they'll register the phone and change the plan accordingly.
Could i continue to use the old iPhone w/ that line? I'm assuming that I could while waiting for the phone to arrive so why not after it gets here? I basically don't plan on touching the new iPhone until I get to Argentina but will still obviously be fine with extending the contract for another 2 years (is that all they care about?) since the number will be used by someone.
