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. -
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!!!!!!!!!!!! -
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/

this is the message i am getting:
Your iPhone could not be activated because the Activation Server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support
nothing i can do to it
looked on forums, can't get to anything (flight mode, etc, etc)This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
If this is the case... Then...
Sorry... But...
The discussion of Jailbroken Devices is against the Terms of Use of this Forum.
You will need to look elsewhere.

iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable many time
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. -
I have downloaded and installed the new ios7 software on my iphone 4s but im having trouble getting through the activation process i keep getting the message "iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached"? any suggestions?
The activation servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today. You might need to wait and try again later.

HT4623 your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is tremporarily unavialble
your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is tremporarily unavialble iam getting this error on 3GS phone ,please anyone help to get my phone working
It happens to jailbroken iPhones or to the ones which were unlocked unofficially. After the Restore/ Update in iTunes, the iPhone gets locked again to original carrier. Inserting SIM in the iPhone from original carrier would help.

I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says " Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS to IOS6. Help anyone?
yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries -

IPhone 4S could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable
If you got the "scary" message that you could not activate iPhone 4S neither by Wi-Fi or iTunes, I want to share my experience:
I decided to reset my iPhone 4S, and used "Erase All Content and Settings" under the reset menu (Settings/General/Reset), I was hoping that the erasing just does that, but for me the nightmare started!
I was taken to the activation screens, and begun with the welcome one, choose language, choose location services (later on it also disappears) and selecting Wi-Fi and/or iTunes for activation.
I chose a Wi-Fi network the process started, and gave me a message that it will take about three minutes to activate iPhone, few minutes later a screen with this message appears: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
Then, I decided to try the activation using iTunes…
Using iTunes, after few minutes, it shows the following message: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
I tried several times in both ways, trying 4 different Wi-Fi networks and 3 different computers in the whole process, and I was going desperate! I started to find out some info about this trouble over the Internet, and guess what? I was not alone! But I did not find any answer or solution either!
Finally, I joined Apple Support Communities, and started searching with no good luck at all, until I found (many hours later) this old (2009) solution:
+Do a DFU recovery:+
+1. Open iTunes.+
+2. Connect the iPhone+
+3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).+
+4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.+
+5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.+
(THANKS A LOT!!! modular747 and Easily Easy, you saved me!!!)
Then I suggest everyone to use this, of course it will erase everything, but you may be able to recover your data from your last backup, or you can also choose to configure iPhone as a new cell phone.
The process took me about 92 minutes, but it was worth it, now I own an unlocked iPhone 4S (it was an AT&T when I purchased from Apple Store in November) and is working perfectly!
Hope it is useful for all of you facing this trouble!
Good luck and enjoy your iPhone then!I tried the process and was happy to note that there was some process that I managed to start because the process did start ...
However to my disappointment, landed back at the same status which says
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care
I was using a GEVEY sim unlock with iOS 4.1 since (almost) last 2 yrs now in India on Vodafone. But as Apple designed it, there were several apps including Whatsapp, Facebook, Gmail and LinkedIn that stopped functioning due to the iOS updates and the subsequent (I guess 'mandatory' App updates). Finally yesterday I thought of updating to the iOS 6. As soon as I did that, I have been left with no choice but to see the above message.
The process by jhidrowoh starts corectly but iTunes doesnt give you the option of restore only ... it is forcefully clubbed with update and the button that is displayed in the dialog box that appears on pressing 'Restore' in teh recovery mode, shows 'Restore and Update' and as soon as the iPhone is restored, it automatically updates the iOS as well to iOS 6 and hence leaves you hanging in the stale situation.
Guys ... Need the data desperately ... Can anybody please help??? -

I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
Perform 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. -
