Getting message "we are unable to complete your activation at this time" when trying to update iphone 3gs to ios5
After downlaoding ios5 and installing I get the message "we are unable to complete your activation at this time" when trying to update iphone 3gs to ios5 using itunes. Can anyone help?
Hi David,
any luck later?
I'm experiencing the same issue and I see that you're also posting from China. Not sure is location-related but if you managed to activate you iPhone: how did you do it? Just keep on trying?
I'm a bit fed up of trying. It's already two full days...
Thanks, ciao.
Stefano, Shanghai

We are unable to complete your activation at this time
Greetings,
Today @ around 4:30PM PST on 4/20/11, right after doing the update to my iPhone4 to 4.3.2, from within iTunes I'm getting the following error, "We are unable to complete your activation at this time."
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues today? wondering if perhaps the activation server is down or something of the sorts.
Thanks.Dario G wrote:
Just called customer support for iPhone's, the technician confirmed theactivation servers are down for maintenance, Seems odd since 4:00PM on aWednesday seems like a HORRIBLE time to do server maintenance.
It's more likely that the maintenance is to fix whatever problem caused the servers to crash -
Whe i conected my iPad 1 it says update and when i update to iOS 5.1.1 i cant activate because the iTunes says this
We are unable to complete your activation at this time. Please disconnect your iPad from your computer and reconnect it later and we should be able to activate it. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes. with iPAd 1 iOS 5.1.1
What can i do Apple?This is usually a symptom that the phone was hacked/jailbroken. Was it?

We are unable to process your request at this time.......
After logging in , i get the following message when trying to access anything other than email via "My Verizon"
"We are unable to process your request at this time.
Please try again later. We apologize for any inconvenience."
the strange thing is my last login shows September 11, 2014, even though i have logged in today and previous days after this date.Your login procedure sounds different from mine.
Try this link:

If you put your userid in the box provided, then select My Services on the pull down, then click on Sign In, and then enter your password to continue, does the problem still occur? -
when intalling itunes i get message saying system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation; when trying to uninstall message says you do not have sufficient access to uninstall itunes please contact your administrator. i am the dministrator.
Windows right?
Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet
http://botnetchecker.com/
All clear? Hopefully. Backup your files to a external drive, cd or dvd, USB keye etc off your computer.
Run the sfx file on this site and it will burn to a cd.
http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system
Next hit your BIO's key and set the cd to boot first, run the scanner and see what it pops up.
If your all clear then create another Admin, transfer your files over from the first Admin.
See if that works, eventually when your totally over to the new Admin, delete the old one.
If you can't create a new Admin, find out who locked your machine down, like your parents or it's a school computer?
Likely installed spyware or "nanyware" to watch you.
Hope that works. -
I unlcked my iPhone via Telenor like 1 hour ago, and it says i have to restore the phone thru iTunes, when i try to do that and are wrtiting my pin.code after its done, i get this msg. we're sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.

Sorry but i have seen your reply in this same issue in a lot of thread by keep saying this is jailbreaking or unlocking problem,
but this issue happen on Factory Unlock Phone and even iTouch and iPad...
So i don't think u actually are helping by keep saying same thing again n again, while the problem could be from another thing...
Here we got 1 succesful user that experienced same issue but managed to fix it :

pls help me how to start of ma iphone 3g , as i updated it to ios 6.1.2
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -

Last night I was watching programs on Apple TV with only one problem: I was not able to purchase the entire season of "Homeland" but could purchase and watch individual episodes. Today I am able to watch only previews and trailers from iTunes. After attempting to purchase a program I keep getting the message: "Apple TV is. Unable to connect to the server at this time. Please try again later." I am able to watch programs on Hulu, Netflix, etc. without problems.
Any suggestions?I have a similar problem. After a recent update I cannot access the iTunes Store to resubscribe to Hulu. "Cannot access iTunes Store at this time." Dunno what to do.

I am tryhing to activate my new Ipad and am haveing no luck. I am hardwried tomy computer, have insured that I have the latest version of ITunes but when I turn the unit on, I can get through the language and the country selection, select "connect to ITunes" , after a minute or two, get an error message "Unable tocontunue with your activation at this time" I have been screwing around with this for several hours now and am beginning to think I have a $650 piece of junk
Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea. -
Have tried so many times now to enroll for the developer program and getting stuck in the third screen with the message
We are unable to process your request.
I need enrollment fast to put my app in the app store
What's wrong here?Thanks for the detail.
I believe you are doing your best, in the right place. How long have you tried ?
May be the sistem in your area is really busy. Can you wait few hours or contact them with a Message ?
Or try a Service provider http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
