Hi
I have tried to restore my i phone 3gs using a USB cable connecting to itunes.The process has gone smoothley but i am now getting this message on my i phone;"your i phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.Try connecting your i phone to itunes to activate it,or try again in a few minutes.I have been trying and trying again and switched off my firewall too.but still getting this message.Can anyone please advise me?
That is almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

If I have redeemed my my gift and the balance is updated in the App Store and I still can not down load apps...what could the issue be? I keep getting this error message "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed". Then it refers me to apple support.
If you haven't already contacted iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
To fix this
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

nothing i can do to it
looked on forums, can't get to anything (flight mode, etc, etc)This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
If this is the case... Then...

Wa trying to update IOS on iPhone 3GS and this message came up, and I can't get past it:
Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporaily unavailableIn other words it says: Your iPhone is jailbroken. Will not do it.
Sorry can't help you except that insert original carrier's SIM inside. -
I've updated iTunes as recommended (and when recommended) but made no other changes to my computer or files. Why are the files gone?
I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

I have a brand new iPhone 5 64gb, and I'm trying to activate it. But when I connect either to WiFi or iTunes via PC, i get the following message:
'Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable'
Any idea what the problem could be? The phone was purchased from someone who received the phone as an upgrade.
When a sim is entered it shows 'Searching...' but doesn't show 'No SIM' or 'No Service'Generally a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to work with other than the original wireless carrier and
an upgrade or restore has relocked the iPhone to the original carrier.
You will need to contact that original carrier to see if they offer
unlocking and if you qualify.
Best advice - return the iPhone to whoever sold it to you, get your
money back, and purchase a truly new iPhone from Apple or an
Apple authorized reseller in your location. -
I have a new device. When selecting the language and country I am trying to connect to a wifi connection and getting the error 'Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting to your Iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.
Where exactly did you get this phone?
Do you have a SIM in the phone?
There are 2 primary causes for this.
Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it.
