Apple ID can not be created because of a server error, can I skip this step and come back later?

I'm brand new to the iPhone.  I got a 4S yesterday as a Christmas gift.

I actually had to set up an apple account through this link to post my message.
After, I went back, and there are still server issues.
Thank you though.
I will retry on my lunch break where I can go to a section of the building where I get wifi (I tried to set up through my regular wireless signal).
Thank you, TonyaWhite.  Even if there are still server issues, I now know I can continue my set up without worrying that I've ruined something in the future.

    When I try to setup my new iPad air, I go through all the steps for the iCloud sign-in and choosing security questions and what not. But after I hit the agree to the terms and conditions... It says Apple ID could not be created because of a server error. Have no clue what to do... I've restarted the iPad and get the same message. But my internet works just fine.

  • Updated My ipod touch 4th gen to IOS 6.1. Now everytime I try to finish the update process I get a message " Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error"

    Now everytime I try to finish the update process I get a message " Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error. I already have an apple ID I am just trying to finish the update so I can use my ipod touch and can not figure out why I keep getting held back at this message

    So I found out with alittle research that instead of entering all that info on my ipod, security questions, birthday, ect that it was much easier to just go to http://appleid.apple.com and place all that info there and save it than try the process on my ipod and it finished the update.

  • Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error when i try to restore from a backup

    Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error when i try to restore from a backup from iCloud?
    Also my mail works fine, and if i bypass everything and sign in tomy apple id in settings it will work!

    I don't know, but it's not working for me.
    I went to Apple ID website and everything is fine there, But I can't restore my phone from iCloud.

  • 'Could not Sign In' Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error.

    I recently attempted to restore my iPod and cannot get any further than the security question and terms to agree to.  My email address is [email protected]   Please help!

    I just spent a week with an applecare T2 trying to figure this out, but we finally did!
    It turns out that (at least in my case) I had to go to http://appleid.apple.com and re-enter my password security questions and birthday. Once I did this and tried to restore, everything worked as expected.
    I should explain that, in my case, as soon as I entered my apple ID and password after choosing to restore from icloud, it would ask for my birthday and to fill out one security question. Once I did the security stuff, it no longer asked for these on the phone.
    I hope this solves your problem like it did mine!

  • Icloud error "you can't sign in because of a server error"

    icloud error message "You can't sign in because of a server error."

    Hello wjlorenzjr,
    This is often caused by security software preventing the iCloud Control Panel from communicating properly with our servers. The following article provides further information necessary to make sure your software is allowing proper communication and operation.

  • Anyone get a message saying ipad can not be activated because the activation server is unavailable?

    anyone get a message saying ipad can not be activated because the activation server is unavailable?

    4 possible causes for that error message:
    1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, and of short duration when it
    does happen. Solution - try again.
    2] Your firewall and/or antivirus software are preventing the necessary connection. Solution -
    temporarily disable your firewall and/or antivirus software until the activation completes.
    3] computer being used for activation has been used to jailbreak an iOS device in the past.
    Solution - use a different computer.
    4] iPad has been jailbroken. Google may provide some direction, but jailbreaks often prevent
    updates from succeeding. Per Terms of Use for this forum, discussion of jailbroken iPads is
    prohibited.

    Hey kirk41,
    Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating.
