I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

The phone was jailbroken. That's what that error indicates. You can't get help here. You can't get help from Apple.
Try Google.

Try plugging the headphones in and gently wiggling them around for a few seconds. It may be that the sensor that tells the iPhone that headphones are plugged in has gotten stuck. If this doesn't work, they try a reset (hold down Sleep/Wake and Home all the way until the Apple logo appears on the screen).

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

What model is your phone and what OS are you trying to install. iOS 7 can only be installed on certain phones.
Maybe someone knows the specifics?

Could not activate iphone after restore, what should I do?

I decided to restore my iphone after the amount of "other" taking up my storage for the new update, however my iphone keeps saying "could not activate iphone" it keeps telling me to wait a few minutes which I have waited an hour now and it still won't work. I searched for solutions to this but I can't even restart my phone due to the lock button being broken. Any help would be much appreciated I really need my phone back

Authentication servers are ALSO slammed right now.
Give it some time.

HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1. Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional. Advice?

I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

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.

I try to backup my Macbook with Time machine, it goes fine and at the end it says that it could not be completed because "/Volumes/Data-2/ MacBook.sparsebundle is already in use".. What is that?!

COULD NOT ACTIVATE IPHONE 3GS

my son did something to my iphone 3gs and now I get to a screen that says:
Could Not Activate IPhone
Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try in a couple of minuites. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
It has continued for weeks, therefore asking if there is a solution to this?
Thanks.

Hey Fletchdog55
I have the same problem on my 3GS. I took it to the apple store and was told that the Activation Server was down internationally and should be up in a week or so.
I've had this problem for over a week now and apple said the server went down yesterday so I'm not sure what to think. As far as I can see there is no solution except to wait.

HT4993 could not activate iphone....after restore.

could not activate iphone.....after restore.

Hello dar1000ex,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing after restoring your iPhone. I recommend the following steps:
Symptoms
Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported"
"The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
"iTunes was unable to verify your device."
ResolutionPerform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
