hot to fix this problem ! we are sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time
That's almost always a symptom of a phone that was hacked to unlock it.

If you don't have a SIM card in the phone, you must put one in. It's required for activation.
If you do, then your phone was probably hacked to unlock it from the original carrier. Contact them and see if they will unlock it. If they will not do so, then you can't use that phone. -

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. -

I can't sync music to my iphone. It just says "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time."
I am in exactly the same problem here as this person. Exactly the same problem.
No, it was not jailbroken. And now because it's in this loop, there's no ability to restore and such on itunes as the only option now is ever 'eject'. -
HT1414 error: *we are unable to continue with your activation at this time*
is there anyone can help me how activate my iphone 3gs when i have tried to update it from IOS 4.1 to IOS 6 , but now there is just an activation form on my iphone screen that i need to connect to WIFi to be able to activate it or connect to I TUNES. i don't have any access to WiFi and when i connect my Iphone to ITunes an error comes : we are unable to continue with your activation at this time
i've tried this about ten times but the results is still same, i mean nothing
if anyone can tell me what to do i'll be happyGenerally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

We are unable to continue with your activation at this time
Hi, I'm getting the error message in iTunes:
We are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care.
I have phoned 3 and they said that the apple servers are down and I'll 95% be able to activate it soon. After reading some posts on here I don't quite believe that will be the case. Who has honestly solved this problem and how? My phones just a dead brick at the moment.
Also the signal bar in the top left corner is none existant and just says searching. I want to know if it's meant to not find the network until after activation? Or should it already be finding it?
ThanksI know its been a while since this question was posted, but i've just had the same message and it took me ages to work out how to resolve it - and I didn't see the solution on any other post so i thought i'd share mine. This may not resolve everyone's problem, and there is a post from jhidrowoh that gives other solutions, but my solution turns out to be simple.
I simply hadnt put the sim card in the phone. i suspect that the same problem may happen if the phone has no signal. once i put a valid sim card in the phone, the itunes activation screen came up.
i presume they do this to ensure the phones are tied to a particular network?
Anyway, I'm now a happy bunny on Xmas day! -

HT201407 "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"
"We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time" I got this while trying to restore my iPhone 4 and it wouldn't restore. How do I fix this please?
"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -
after updating my iphone 3gs to ios6 a message "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." pls help
I have the same problem after updating to the latest iTunes. I purchased an iPhone 4S this past summer and gave my 3GS to my 6 year-old minus the SIM card-- an instant iPod Touch. Things were fine until the latest version of iTunes 11.0. Until I updated to 11.0.1, iTunes would not even "see" the iPhone.
How do I get past the insistence to activate the phone? Right now, it's a useless brick. -
IPhone 4. We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Hello, everybody. I've expirienced a problem during activation iPhone 4 via Wi-Fi or iTunes. "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." - that is what I've seen. I've restored phone as described on troubleshooting page - nothing have changed. Phone was sealed, bought from dealer <Edited by Host> today, 25 July 2013.
This time I cannot insert proper sim-card (my scissor-handed carrier in his official store cut my SIM into micro-SIM awfully - i'm not kidding, i'm from Russia), but as i know, it's not necessary to have sim inserted into unlocked phone (since dealer claimed it as unlocked). I've never used any of jailbreaks, geveys et cetera. 2 last characters (before slash) of part № (RU) tells me, that this iPhone is for Russia (so, officially it should be neverlocked). <Edited by Host> checked via different services says nothing suspicious. Customer care is about 600 km far from me, so I lays all my hope on this cummunity. Thanks in advance.The Apple activation server is down at the moment. Try in a couple of hours (or tomorrow)
