Apr 1, 2016 4:04 PM in response to elcpuby Timothy.j.duell,I Thank You For Your Assistance, This Did Not Help. After Following Each Step In Order My Iphone Requires I Log In And Yet It's Nowhere To Be Found On The Cloud And My Itunes Treats It As If It's Already Activated But It Is Not On My Devices List. The Exact Failure I Am Getting On My Iphone States:
Verification Failed
There Was An Error Connecting To The Apple ID Server.Should I Restore The Phone And Start Over?

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Apr 1, 2016 4:39 PM in response to elcpuby Timothy.j.duell,My Itunes Recognizes It And I Can Sync Everything To It But It's Not Recognized As My Device On My Cloud Or On My Device List. My Phone Itself Will Not Connect With The Server So I Cannot Get Past That Single Screen For Login.
