  • Your IPad could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable

    Hello!
    I bought a used Ipad model A1397. Connected it to Itunes and upgraded to 6.1.3.
    After that, I can not activate it because it is constantly writes:
      "Your IPad could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting IPad to iTunes to activate, or try again in a few minutes." using WiFi and Itunes. The process of restoring the firmware also did not help ...
    PS Sorry for my bad English!

    Apple is experiencing tevhnical difficulties with APNs
    People in Asia reported this 13 hours ago (http://www.sophos.com/ja-jp/support/knowledgebase/119235.aspx) and people in Europe have been tweeting about it for a few hours. Seems like a global issue with Apple. Unfortunetly Apples services page doesnt list APNs: http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

  • My Ipad saids that it could not activate because the activation server is temp unavailable.  What does that mean?

    My IPAD2 saids that it can not activate because the activation server is down. What does this mean.

    It was bought from an second hand shop, called cash conventors, which you give your old electricals in and you get money for it, then they put those electricals for sale and i bought this iphone that way
    It was working fine before but i couldnt call people as it said "call failed" and then there was a call back option which leads you to the home screen !
    I have restored my iphone and now it says :
    the iphone could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Please connect to itunes to activate it or try again in a few minutes.
    iTunes says: There is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are trying to activate.       Please disconnect and insert a sim card in the iPhone.
    There already is a valid simcard in the iPhone though!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Apple's iPhone Activation Servers Experiencing Extended Outage
    Thursday July 25, 2013 8:59 am PDT by Eric Slivka
    While Apple is still working to bring its developer site back up a week after taken offline due to a security breach, the company appears to be experiencing another problem with its systems today, as a number of MacRumors have reported they are unable to activate their new iPhones. Other reports are showing up on Twitter as the problems continue.
    According to one tipster who called Apple about the problem, the company's activation servers are currently down. Another AT&T employee has told MacRumors that AT&T has also confirmed the outage, and posts in Apple's discussion forum offer similar information.
    Reports of problems began surfacing nearly three hours ago, and there is no word yet on when users can expect the issue to be fully resolved.

    Hello
    My ipad gone crazy a few days ago. It is always trying to activate itself.

All my software is up to date.I've contacted for technical asistance and they said they could do nothing to repair it . I can not believe that there's nothing Apple can do. Could you please help me?

  • HT1937 my iphone could not be activated because the activation server could not be rached. how can i solve this problem?

    my iphone could not be activated because the activation server could not be rached. how can i solve this problem?

    Make sure the wifi you're connecting to has a strong connection. Also, it has to be set up with basic security, meaning you can't activate your phone using wifi that needs you to access Safari to sign in.
    You can also always use iTunes on your computer (with a strong Internet connection) to do this as well.

  • "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server could not be reached"

    It won't let me set up my phone due to the wifi- it keeps coming up with "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server could not be reached". The wifi is definitely working- I'm using it now! However, after you have entered the password for this wifi you do have to enter details into a portal but this hasn't popped up so I can't do it.  This is the wifi I have, any ideas? Thank you in advance

    3 possible causes for this message:
    1] activation server is actually down. Extremely rare occurrence and of very short duration
    if it happens.
    2] iPhone is jailbroken or hacked.
    3] computer the iPhone is hooked to has been used to jailbreak or hack iOS devices.
    For 1], try again. Try different wifi at friend's, school, public place like Starbucks or McDonalds.
    For 2] & 3], you are on your own. Google may provide some insight. Terms of Use for this

    That message usually indicates that the phone was either hacked/modified or jailbroken?
    Was this phone ever locked to a different phone carrier?

    Hi kamlesh.bisht,
    It sounds like you may be having activation issues with your iPad. You may find the following article useful; it is aimed at the iPhone, but should also cover similar issues on the iPad:

  • I just reset my phone to factor settings and now when i try to activate it it was my phone can not be activated because the activation server can not be reached. how do i fix this problem?

    how do i fix this problem

    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.

  • I cannot get cs2 to activate because the activation server was taken off line.

    I purchased CS2 but use it infrequently.  Recently, I tried to start the program and was requested to activate (reactivate) the software.  I had the serial numbers but the online activation service is no longer available.  I googled the problem and believe somehow Adobe is providing serial numbers or otherwise trying to enable software to run, since it was already paid for....  Any direction or input on how to resolve this issue would be much appreciate. joe

  • HT4623 I'm upgrading to ios 7, and I'm getting a message saying "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server could not be reached" I've gotten this now 10 times and have even tried activating it through iTunes which also did not work.

    I am trying to upgrade my phone to iOS 7, I restored it so it would download the new software and now it is telling me that it cannot be activated. How do I get around this?

    unfortunately no, a million people are attempting to update their phones right now, and thus activate them. Patience will have to suffice.
    For the future, I would recommend not updating essential work devices on the launch day
