Can't activate new iPhone 4s

Just got it, and when I try to activate it tells me it is pending and will send email confirmation... then right below says there has been an issue and to try again later.  I am going to assume that it has to do with everyone trying to activate at one time... if not the case, any suggestions?  I've tried calling apple, and the automated system keeps hanging up on me.

@ MarkinMA Yeah the same thing happen to me, I have now been without a phone for that past 4hrs now :/
I've constantly checking my email to see, if get an activiation response, still nothing..

  • Can't activate new iPhone 4gs for AT&T

    After connecting my new iPhone 4s to iTunes, it reported that it lost connection to the activation server. I continued restoring the phone with all my old 3gs info but iTunes never tries to activate it again. Shouldn't iTunes keep trying to activate my phone? Can I manually force iTunes to try again?

    Is this what you're experiencing

  • Can't Activate new iPhone 4

    I have been attempting to activate my new iPhone 4 for 3.5 hours. Been on phone with ATT and Apple, they say the activation server is overloaded.  I would have thought there would be a lot more complaining in the media unless I am the only one?  Apple did not expect a lot of activations today?  Mr. Jobs would not be happy!

    Mr. Jobs would understand.  This happens EVERY TIME a NEW I PHONE is released.  AT&T servers are being overloaded.  You have to be patient.  After all it is just a phone, not a cure for cancer.

  • Can't activate new iPhone

    Please help. I can not activate my iphone 3 after I have updated the new ios software because the activation servers not available
    this is the message I get.

    If your iPhone was jailbroken and unlocked unofficially, it has been locked again. Insert official SIM to activate.

    1. You could not have installed iOS 6.1.1, it is 6.1.2
    2. It will get activated - if unlocked, with any SIM else you need SIM; active or inactive from the Carrier.

  • HT1688 My IMEI is unlocked but I can't activate my iPhone 3GS 011950006982337

    My IMEI is unlocked but I can't activate my iPhone 3GS 011950006982337

    ONLY the carrier the phone is locked to can legitimately authorize unlocking an iPhone.
    Your phone was hacked. Not legitimately unlocked.
    You can not get help here.
    Try google or buy a new, legitimately unlocked iPhone that you can use.

  • Can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    It could be the activation server is unavailable right now, however have you or anyone else ever used that computer to jailbreak or hack another phone? That can have an affect on the hosts file. You can check this regarding information on the hosts file or security software problems.
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

    How can I activate my iphone??

    Hi! to answer your question.
    1.  Did you get this phone from someone else?- No I'm the primary owner of this phone.
    2.  Have you changed your Apple ID or primary email address?- No. I'm using the same apple ID I used to set up my iphone. I even tried to use the same apple ID in my itouch, it worked.

  • Why i Can't activate my iphone just because idont own the apple id  i dont ever know  how the email is even a password that make no sens  apple please help me i will tell you my model  my FCC ID , IC and IME

    Why i Can't activate my iphone just because idont own the apple id  i dont ever know  how the email is even a password that make no sens  apple please help me i will tell you my model  my FCC ID , IC and IME

    If the phone was previously owned and is locked to that owner's Apple ID the ONLY way you can activate it is to get that person to release Activation Lock. This is an antitheft feature of the phone; stolen phones are useless.
    If you purchased the phone new you created the Apple ID, and will have to remember it. If it is only the password you have forgotten go to https://iforgot.apple.com
