Possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

  • Im from Philippines and my iphone is from Japan after I updated it to iOs 6.1.3 it wont activate it says ''Activation Error Please Contact Customer Care'' what does it mean? How can I activate it? Please help me.

    You can NOT unlock it. Only the carrier it is locked to can legally authorize unlocking it and the Japanese carriers will not do so.
    In order to be using it previously with a non Japanese carrier, the phone had to be hacked to illegally unlock it.  You can not get help here.
    Buy a new phone you can use.

  • I keep getting OS X failed to download message. What should I do?

    I keep getting OS X failed to download message. What should I do?

    Well, you might try repairing your HDD in case it has a problem. Otherwise, I can't help you if it's on the server side.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • TS3297 I am unable to make purchases all the sudden the last few days on my Ipad, never had problems before a few days ago. I know my card works fine, I just keep getting a message saying "Please contact Itunes Support to complete this purchase"

    What support? All I get is an endless circle of running around. Things worked fine until recently, apperently real people to talk to don't exist here, just a never ending series of links that lead nowhere. It seems many others have had this same problem with Itunes, but what is the salution?

    Have you tried this link?
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/
    Choose country, and then at the bottom of the list on the left there should be an option 'Contact Support' (via expresslane).
    It's only users here on this forum - unfortunately Apple don't seem to have a simple phone number and you have to get support via email or occasionally a live chat option.

    Please try again later, or contact customer care. what is this thing?i try to upgrade my ios to 6.1 from 5.1.1,after i do this,i cant connect to iTunes although i had and have a internet connection

    This message indicates that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.
    Then when you updated/restored your phone it locked back up to the original carrier.
    Only the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock it.

    am trying to update free aps on ipad mini. i key in itunes password but keep getting "cannot connect to itunes store" message. have changed password twice & password works on laptop.  why won't it work on ipad?

    Hello richvasmc,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • HT4623 i have downloaded and installed the new ios7 software on my iphone 4s but im having trouble getting through the activation process i keep getting the message "iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached"? help??

    I have downloaded and installed the new ios7 software on my iphone 4s but im having trouble getting through the activation process i keep getting the message "iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached"? any suggestions?

    The activation servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today.  You might need to wait and try again later.

    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

    but can not be unlocked
    If the phone was NOT unlocked, it can't work or be activated with any other carrier than AT&T.  It CAN'T be used with Tigo or Movistar.
    Your post makes very little sense.  Maybe you can get some help with English. 

  • Why do I keep getting error occurred. Please try later again when trying to watch youtube videos

    Why do I keep getting "Error occurred. Please try later again." , eveytime when trying to watch youtube videos. I have the latest adobe flash player and java so why can't I watch videos at youtube??
    It's very, very, frustrating having had so many people tell me I need to change my browser to you guys at mozilla firefox.
    I've tried everything but still cannot view the youtube videos. I have a 32 bit Toshiba laptop.
    God bless, I await your reply,
    Daniele
