Having trouble acitivating phone to itunes

Just purhcase a 3gs and I'm having problems w/activating the phone.  When i attempt to connect it on itunes, my devise is not available to sync.  I keep getting error message that the server down and to try back later. I started at about 10pm last night and can't imagine the server would be out that long.  thanks

On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice. 
Tap and hold on the app. 
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it one by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPhone:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, connect to sync and see if this resolves the issue.

  • I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4.  I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection.  Why am I not able to connect anything?  I've tried ALL the fixes suggested.  HELP!!!!!!!!!

    I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4.  I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection.  This just started happening today (2/19/14)!  Why am I not able to connect anything?  I've tried ALL the fixes suggested.  HELP!!!!!!!!!  BTW, I know my Wi-Fi connection is good because I'm using it on my desktop and other people in my office are also connected on their iPhones and desktops.  Again, HELP!!!!

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account    is not valid in the US  store"

    Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account    is not valid in the US  store" As I am new at this I don't know what I can do to remove this problem.

    What country are you in ? If you aren't in the US and the address on your account isn't in the US then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select your country.

    Having trouble trying to install itunes 10.5. Receive message saying 'There is a problem with this installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be found. Please contact product vendor'

    Managed to get the installation sorted. Go to Control Panel, and where you have a list of all installed programs, repair all the Apple/Itunes related programs. Installation worked fine after that. Hopefully it helps you out too!

  • I am having Trouble adding Audiobooks in iTunes 12

    Hello, I am having Trouble adding Audiobooks in iTunes 12.1.2.27 with OSX Yosemite 10.10.3, I downloaded 4 Audiobooks from Audible, Synced my iPod but the new Audiobooks do not show up in either the Audiobooks or Music section of my iPod after I sync my iPod, I do see them in the Audio section of iTunes but not on my iPod, any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you Michael

    I do have an icon of my iPod but if I click on it it disconnects my iPod from iTunes.
    If the iPod is connected via Wi-Fi, please connect with USB. If it's already on USB, or if USB is the same. log out or restart the computer and also restart the iPod, then try again. If it still doesn't work, see below.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • Why am I having trouble signing in to iTunes with my AppleID? I change it

    Why am I having trouble signing in to iTunes with my AppleID? Once I go through the motions to reset my password on Apple's website & go back to iTunes, I still can't sign on. Should I have two passwords? Is there something I'm missing??

    Yep. Good point.
    To completely shut it down, even in the background, double click the home button to display the row of apps. Then press and hold the Facetime app until the app displays a minus sign. then touch the minus sign.
    The app is now stopped !

  • I am having trouble updating apps through iTunes, iTunes shuts down when I try to sync.

    I am having trouble updating apps that I have on my iPhone through iTunes.  I go through the update then when syncing I get an error message iTunes has to shut down.  The only way I have been able to work around is to delete the app and download it again.  If I don't do this the app says waiting on my iPhone.

    I just got the same message myself. Which I have only had 2 times in three years, so I checked here.

    There is an issue with the iTunes Store on Apple's end, so I assume that is why we cannot connect.

  • TS2818 Having trouble connecting iphone to itunes in windows 8

    Got a new computer with Windows 8, downloaded iTunes and now can't connect my iPhone to iTunes.  Any help is appreciated

    Hello Mylenium:
    I did as you suggested and it worked much better.  Very smooth process.
    Thank you for your suggestion.
    I do have another problem, this time with the serial number and I think I
    may have to call Adobe on this one.
    I purchased this license from someone on eBay.  He assured me the license
    number was good.  The CD came in a case with the original serial number
    printed on the cover.  When I installed CS5 on my other computer, I was
    having similar troubles and spoke to one of the support people.  He gave me
    another license number that worked.  I have since uninstalled CS5 and did
    not deactivate the license.  Perhaps that is the problem.
    Your thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thank you again for your help.
    Best Regards,
