HT4623 iphone cannot be activated

after updating iOS 6.0 my iphone cannot be activated through itunes. anyone any idea?

Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.
= L.I.

Not sure what this has to do with Apple TV.
Also this is a user forum, no one here can help with that. I would contact your carrier.

When am trying to restore my iphone it says iphone cannot be activated because activation server cannot be reached what i need to do now?

The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day. Some other forum users are experieincing similar things.
You can also try the apple document for activation issues, but I'd assume its server issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424

Why my iphone cannot be repaired in an authorized service center because thay said it is purchased in US not in Oman?
This service center MI Store in oman refused to fix my iphone due to ( he said) it was not purchased in oman. and the warranty only for regional warranty. Is it true that the warranty in iphone had this kind of set up? what i know iphone warranty is international warranty.
could any body confirm this?
Thanks
No, the iPhone does not have an international warranty. This is incorrect. Where did you get that information?
An iPhone purchased in the US is serviceable in the US, and sometimes Canada. The warranty explicitly states that Apple reserves the right to limit service of the device to the country of origin/purchase.

Where was the original phone purchased from? What is the exact error you are receiving when trying to activate the device? Was the original phone possibly hacked to be used with another carrier before this one?

HT4623 iphone could not activated because the activation server is unavailable?

icould not activate my iphone because the activated server is unavailable,And in itune message say inserted your sim card

Your antivirus or firewall may be blocking access to Apple's activation server at gs.apple.com.
If you have ever used your computer to hack or jailbreak any iOS device at any time in the past your network database on your computer is corrupted. Open the hosts file and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com.
Mac: /etc/hosts
Windows: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
It is a hidden file, so you will have to set your file explorer to show hidden files.

IPhone cannot be activated (Apple ID was changed)

My Apple ID was used on several devices which some of them are sold thereafter and give them the password, i know. stupid, there was no activation lock problem by Apple ID at that time. Somebody activated Find my iPhone and change the Apple ID and Email, i have no idea what they are now. So other devices which has been upgraded are now stuck at activation. I recreated that Apple ID but still it can't be used for activation. Is there anything can be done?

Hopefully its a previous account. Cheers for your help.

HT4623 iPhone cannot be opened and all apps were gone. it only indicate itunes icon

in the screen all Apps were gone and showing only Apps of iTunes a pointer arrow and connecting cable.

Hi guys, I am pleased to announce, after much caffeine and hours spent finding a solution, that I have fixed my problem. Here is what I did:
If you have this problem and you have CCleaner installed, go to the Startup options and re-enable all start-up programs. If you have any other programs that manage start-up programs then re-enable them under that. Now delete anything files in the Windows Startup folder in the start menu. Don't restart yet... I also went into Microsoft Services (For Windows 7: Start > All Programs > Accessories > Administrative Tools > Services) and switched all services to "Automatic" just to eliminate any problem there. I then restarted and after the long loading time due to excessive start-up programs, I tried opening iTunes and it opened fine.
My start up programs are:
Adobe ARM
Adobe Reader Speed Launcher
Adobe_ID0EYTHM (?)
AVG9_TRAY (Anti Virus)
ccleaner
FileHippo.com
iTunesHelper
msnmsgr (Windows Live Messenger)
MSSE (Microsoft Security Essentials)
QuickTime Task
Others were, Spybot Search and Destroy and Netgear Wizard, but I uninstalled both of these due to errors with the programs and internet connection.
I am guessing that disabling certain start-up programs or disabling processes under Services was the cause of my problem but I hadn't touched either of these at the weekend so I have no idea why this solution fixed iTunes. I hope this thread can help any other users with a similar problem.

'Iphone may be damaged and cannot be activated for service'

Ive just bought a used iphone4. it arrived having been cleared and reset.
I connected to itunes and upgraded to the new software. Then it worked for half a day. Then a message came up saying i need ot restore the phone.
So i plugged it in again and at the end of the uprgrade sequence it comes up with-
'Problem with the iphone - may be damaged and cannot be activated for service' - please visit apple store.
Its obviously out of warranty and the apple store is a long way away. Ive only had it a day and im assured its never been jailbroken, dropped or water damaged.
I know loads of people have had this message come up and people have recommened going to the apple store. But before i make the long trek i just wanted to know if anyone ever came up with a solution to fix this and use the phone again.
Any help much appreciated. back on sh+tty blackberry!!

Thanks for the replies guys!
I cant access the phone it just stays on 'connect to itunes'

Hello everyone,
I just updated my 3GS from iOS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1
Since the update, Itunes says that no SIM card is detected, and the iPhone says that it cannot be activated. It also obviously does not detect any network.
I tried restarting the phone several times, removing the SIM card several times, but it did not change anything, the SIM is still not detected.
