HT1937 I cannot activate my new iphone 4s the server is unavailable but the problem keeps persisting

I cannot activate my new iphone 4s as the server is temporarily unavaliable, anyone had this ? Any suggestions on when the server will be up and running?

If you are activating it with your computer either your firewall/antivirus is blocking the connection to apple's activation server gs.apple.com or your computer was used at some time in the past to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

  • My old iphone was broken and i just got a new iphone (3gs) the problem is i have lost all my data especially the contacts, is there anyway i can get my Old iphone contacts back on the new iphone??

    I had ios 4.3.3 on the old one i am downloading the ios 5 in my new iphone

    You should ahve been syncing the contacts with your computer all along.  Just sync them to the new one.
    Everything should be on your computer as you should have been syncing.
    If you failed to sync everything with your computer, then you can try restoring from the last backup.

  • HT201407 help i am trying to activate my new iPhone but it does not want to activate and att cannot get it to activate and iTunes wants me to pay $19.99 to activate my phone come on people this is ridiculous

    Can someone please tell me how to activate my new iPhone. I bought it from the at&t website and they are no help.

    I have owned every iteration of iPhone there is, and Apple has NEVER charged for activation. What on earth are you talking about here?  Describe your problem in more detail.

  • I am unable to activate my New iPhone 4S

    I am unable to activate my New iPhone 4S

    Well I guess we are casualties of several million people trying to do the same thing at the same time. I bet if we wait a while (like a day or so) things should get more normal. After all this roll out is projecting to be the biggest one of all. We can be lucky that we even got our phones. My buddy order an hour after me and he is not even for a email saying it shipped. He's bummed big time. I am going to bed and I'll try in the morning.
    good luck

  • Hello, I have been unable to activate my new iphone 6. When I call the activation phone number it just says terms and conditions have been accepted on this account. Please help.

    I have been unable to activate my new iphone 6. When I call the activation phone number it just says terms and conditions have been accepted on this account. Please help.

    Same thing here. I love how they include this nice and easy to follow guide in the box and the KEY step for activation (the phone call) is a total fail. To verizon: the automated just says Terms and Conditions have been accepted for this number. Press 1 to enter another phone number in the order. Well, I HAD NO other phone number in my order. The message gives no other options. She repeats the same line 3 more times and after the 3rd time, it says please hold while we transfer you, call may be monitored etc. Guess what, its 2 am ET and customer service is closed?
    Do you guys expect thousands of iphone customers to speak to a CSR just to activate? Why not just let us do it online? I have activated plenty of phones even LTE phones, online. Now I'm going to have to compete with the other 30,000 people who ran into this same problem overnight tomorrow on the phone....

  • I can't delete photos from my iPhone (no trashcan visible). How can I delete before I activate my new iPhone.

    It seems that once I backed up my iPhone and iPad to the cloud, whenever I did subsequent back-ups or syncs, it transferred all the photos to my iPhone. Now I can't delete them (no trashcan visible). I don't want all 430+ photos synced when I activate my new iPhone. How do I get rid of unwanted photos?
    HELP!

    It will remove all. If you don't want to remove all then leave the box checked, but then uncheck the photos you want removed. It will remove the ones that are UNCHECKED.
    It might be easier to remove all, then sync the ones you want the same way to the new phone.

  • IMessage and Facetime won't activate on new iphone 5.  Both indicate "Waiting for Activation."  How do I fix?

    iMessage and Facetime won't activate on new iphone 5.  Both indicate "Waiting for Activation."  How do I fix?

    I just activated a new iphone 4s and restored from a backup of my former iphone 3gs - had the same problem - Waiting for Activation on both facetime and imessage. I tried all the usual fixes, reset all, hard reset, turn facetime/imessage on and off, and on and on. 2 hours on phone with tech support to no avail.
    I just found the fix on my own - no clue if it will work for everyone. But it's ridiculously easy and worth a shot so you don't waste hours and hours resetting/synching as I did.
    All I did was go into settings>phone>my number - erase it by touching the ">". Then re-enter it making sure to input with the "+" and country code. For example in the US: +1(508) 569-9901
    No hard reset necessary. I went into settings>facetime and imessage, immediately after inputting my phone number again and the dreaded "waiting for activation" message was gone. I tested sending a message - came thru to the other party fine and facetiming another device (my mom's ipad some distance away) and it rang thru with everything working properly i.e., video/audio.

  • I can not activate my new iphone.

    I can not activate my new iphone. iTunes gives me the message "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier store." Should i contact with the telephone company or is something else?

    OK, call AppleCare in the UK...no one else can help you...be prepared to give them the phone's IMEI number & SN. They can verify whether your phone is carrier locked or not. Tell them you asked for an unlocked iPhone, that there was no sim in the phone or carrier name on the box or receipt. They can fix this remotely, by unlocking your phone, if it is in fact carrier locked & you were given this phone by mistake.

  • HT1386 I cannot synch my new iPhone 5 with iTunes

    I cannot synch my new iPhone 5 with iTunes. I have iOS 6.0.2 and on my MacBook Pro Mac OS 10.7.5. Strange enough my iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0.2 I can synch without any problem. Once the iPhone 5 is identified in iTunes (it takes some time) a disk is rotating as 1st step of synchronisation and after around 5 min it stops rotating but nothing has synched.

    I also tried this. But it is still not synching. Only the small disk is rotating. No other error message.
    I suspect there might be something with the phone not in order. Do you know if and where I can delete a synch history on the phone or in iTunes?

    I'm trying to activate my new iPhone 5c.  Thought I did everything I needed to do but it's still saying it's not activated.  Also, how do I deactivate my old phone (LG Cosmos).

    Are you sure you paid for it? I got that exact same message when I chose the reserve for "pick up at the store" option. I thought I was ordering it and pre-paying to pick it up in the store. However, it never asked for my payment information. It also stated there was no guarantee I would receive one when I showed up at the store - so not sure what the point was!
    I restarted my order with the "ship it to me" option. That method did take my payment information and I got an email confirming it will be shipped to me for delivery on 6/19.
