  • HT4623 i tried to download the ios7 and when my phone rebooted it now says could not activate phone because the activation server cannot be reached, so now I can't get into anything on my phone

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

  • HT1414 i have tried to restore my i phone 3GS connection through usb cable to i tunes.The phone seems to have restored but i am getting this error message;"your phone could not be activated because the activatation server is temporarily unavailable."

    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.

  • "The iPhone (iPhone name) could not be synced because the connection to the iPhone was reset".

    This started yesterday at about 10:30am California time and hasn't stopped or been fixed. Whenever I sync or try to backup my iPhone 5 it goes through the process but right when it's about to finish backing up it gives me an error message that says "The iPhone (iPhone name) could not be synced because the connection to the iPhone was reset"
    I have tried using a different USB cable, using a different port on my macbook, restarting both my phone and my computer. And nothing works and I have search through about every search engine and this problem isn't to be found anywhere online. Posting my problem and calling Apple support are my last options. Also I am still running on iOS 6.1.4 and have not updated to iOS7 because I want to be able to have an up-to-date backup file in case anything goes wrong. And I don't want to restore a backup because my last actual backup is from a couple months ago. But another thing I don't quite understand is that even though that message comes up, a couples minutes later my iPhone's summary says the last backup was the current time like it actually DID back it up. So my question is if the error message says that it can't be synced then why does it show that it actually did backup? Please help because I really would like to get rid of this problem so I could backup and sync to update to iOS7.

    Try TS1389: iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases.

  • IPhone 3GS will not sync calendars because the sync server failed.   Just installed Outlook 2010.  Is there a fix for this?

    My iPhone 3GS could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone.    Just installed Outlook 2010.   Is there a fix for this?

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • ITunes could not sync contacts because the synch server failed to synch....

    I have a laptop running Windows 7 (professional edition) 64 bit using Outlook 2010 and I get this same daggone message every time I try to synch contacts, calender, or notes (all Outlook 2010)...."iTunes could not synch contacts to the iPhone because the synch server failed to sync the iPhone."
    I called Apple's tech "support" and they said unapologetically that iTunes doesn't work with Outlook 2010. ***!?! And further that the solution was to use Outlook 2003 or 2007. And gave NO indication that any solution was in the works.
    QUESTION: Does anyone have a SANE solution that doesn't require a degree in Star Trek to implement to this exact problem? I know the problem is widespread so please only respond if you are having the exact same problem. Otherwise the variable make the feedback meaningless. Thanks in advance!!!
