i'm having the same problem. after upgraded to ios 6.1.3 from ios 5.1.3. i cant activate my iphone.
neither using wifi nor itunes. it cant be activated after the language selection and region selection. it appear to have text "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. try reconnecting your iphone to itunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes." "if problem persists, contact apple support at apple.com/support." what else i can do?whats wrong with the activation server?? please, urgent. need to turn on my phone line immediately !

Apple stopped signing iOS 6. Though speaking now, I don't know if they stopped signing every iPhone..

    We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
    Please try again later, or contact customer care.

    Sounds like your iPhone was previously hacked/jailbroken. If true, try using google.

  • Could not activate the Iphone after updating

    I just update the software and after updating, it shows on the phone slide to set up, I did it and put all the information that is needed but unfortunately I could not activate the phone, did it many times...but it shows, iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I tried even connecting to itunes to activate but still same result...The iphone was perfectly working before I update the software...what must i do now? help me please.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone has been jailbroken or hacked.
    Google may provide some direction if this is the case.

  • Hello, i can not activate my device after upgrading to ios 7.0

    NOW IT 5 DAYS TODAY,I HAVE UPDAT THE SOFTWARE TO IOS7.0.3, NOW I CAN NOT ACTIVATE MY PHONE WITH THE SAME USER NAME, WHICH I USED IN PAST.
    PLEASE I WOULD BE THANKFUL FOR THE HELP.

    What is the exact wording of the error message you receive?
    Has your iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    Were you running one of the beta versions of iOS 7?

  • HT4623 "could not activate your iPhone" -- activation server cannot be reached.  Any ideas? Waited for 20 minutes now.

    Just keeps saying the activation server cannot be reached.  Am I too impatient or is there something actually wrong?

    Check to see if your antivirus or firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com. You might also see this message if your phone was jailbroken or if your computer was used to jailbreak in the past.
    If neither of these apply, just keep trying. There's a very heavy load on Apple's data centers right now.

  • HT201210 I can't activate my Iphone after upgrading to ios 6 why ?

    Just upgrading my Cpo iPhone 4 White 8Gb Kit to ios 6 but it won't reactivation... Sprint say it's apple !

    This is because your phone was previously jailbroken.
    You will never get the phone to activate.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    i could not activate my iphone 3G after updating to ios 6.0.1

    Generally 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.
    If the iPhone was advertised as unlocked and you are still within
    the return period, start a claim with eBay to get your money back.
    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?

  • I could not activate the phone after updating software to iOS7.

    Dear Apple Support team.
    Please help to investigate the problem as I could not activate the phone after updating software to iOS7. in the phone the erroe message is "Your iPhone could not be activated because the actiovation server cannot reached. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
    I have try to activate both of way such by WiFi & Cellular activation and connecting with iTunes but still face the problem and could not completed activation the phone.
    How do i activate the phone or have to wait for hour not couple min as you suggested.
    your feedback quickly would be appreciated.
    Thank You

    There is nothing you can do. That is the Activation Lock that Apple has implemented tout down on theft of their iPhones.
    Most likely the iPhone is stolen.
    It is totally worthless to you.

  • My iphone is stuck in a state of "could not activate this iPhone"...

    I've had the iOS 7 bet for as long as its been out, and it automatically updated to the full OS when that was released, and now, last night it just interrupted my usage, and brought me to a screen prompting me to "activate this iphone" and whenever I sign in and click "activate this iphone" nothing happens, than after a few minutes it says "could not activate this iphone"...
    Someone please help me. I also tried using itunes to activate it, but it says its fully updated. And I cant even restore it: because it says I must first "turn off findmyiphone in the settings on my phone" but those settings are unreachable. someone. please. help. I'm gonna try to dfu it and see if i can restore it after that if no one responds soon enough... thanks guys!

    Hello, iDsciple.
    Here is an article I would recommend when experiencing issues activating a device.  The step referring to recovery mode usually resolves the issue.
    iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424
    To retrieve your data, you will need to restore from backup after processing these steps.  Here is the article that walks you through restoring from either your iCloud or iTunes backup.

    Sometimes it happens when phone is not connected to Internet. If it is not - try connect to itunes on the computer and activate again. If it is - good luck and advice to reset password.
