HT4623 upgrading to ios 7, cannot connect to apple store to activate iphone

My iphone 5 is connected to my windows 8 PC running the latest version of iTunes. The PC has no connectivity problems. But my iPhone cannot connect to the iTunes store to activate the recentely upgraded phone (to IOS 7). There have been a number of error messages. The latest was as follows:
"We could not complete youre iTunes Store request. And unknown error occured (0x80090304).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later"
This has been going on for over an hour.
Is this just an issue with too many people trying to activate at the same time? Which implies that this SHOULD work later. Or is there a problem specific to my phone/software?

Same problem here. Getting used to the idea I probably won't have use of my phone for the rest of the day. My mistake was attempting to eject a USB drive as the software was upgrading on the iPhone (4s). Immediately received an error message and was forced to select Restore iPhone as my only option. After Restore successfully completed getting the phone to factory settings with ios7 loaded, the activation process began. This is where the nightmare took over. Activation needs to contact the Apple Servers via iTunes Store apparently. So, yeah, gonna have to wait until the US is asleep tonight to get through, in all likelihood. Would have been nice had Apple posted a clearer warning to disconnect all other peripherals during upgrade. But with Jobs now dead, there's not as much interest in attempting to simulate how users might break the system before public release. Ah well. Nothing for it now but to wait.

    You need to first disable your antivirus and security programs and see if you can load the itunes store then. If so you know its antivirus blocking you.
    Secondly due to xmas the itunes store is seeing a HUGE amount of people who got new ipods and/or gift cards. Yes Im sure apple tried to prepare for this but they can only estimate how many extra people they will have. Also SOME ISPs in local areas are limiting access for there costomers to the itunes store to save on overloads on there servers. Far as all this goes (If this is why your not able to connect) it should normalize after new years when people go back to work and school. Seems alot of people post about this issue during peak times which are normally between 8pm and around 10 pm when most people are on

    I keep getting an error cannot connect to iTunes store on my iPhone

    Can't promise it will fix it, but I tried everything mentioned on other boards to no avail.
    What finally worked was resetting my AppleID password so that it met the new password requirements. I suppose it's worth trying that.

  • HT201412 "cannot connect to iTunes Store" from my iphone

    When I try to update or download apps, i get the following message:  "cannot connect to iTunes store".  HELP

    If you are doing it using Wifi I would try to refresh the connection.
    I do this quickly by turning Airplane mode on for a few seconds to disconnect from 3G and WiFi.  When you turn Airplane mode off you should reconnect to your networks.  This may clear the problem.
    If not reset your phone, hold the Home and power button's down at the same time until the Apple logo apears on screen.  wait for your phone to restart.  You may have to log into your wifi network if it is secured.

  • Upgrading from 2.4 / cannot talk to apple store

    I am trying to upgrade my atv from 2.4. Currently I cannot download anything new from the apple store (it just sits there saying contacting). And now when I go to 'upgrade software' it just comes back and says "no updates available - cannot connect to the apple store". I can browse movies/shows on the apple store, but cannot download anything. I can download from my computer, so I know it's not my network. Any ideas?

    have you tried restarting the appeltv?
    also try restarting your router. even though your PC is working OK, the router is often not considered when troubleshooting issues.

  • TS1424 Cannot connect to Apple Store

    I made a purchase.  The app opens and I can use it, but I cannot make any other purchases.  It says I need to go to purchase history because there was a problem with my last purchase, but when I click ok it says it cannot connct to my Apple Store.  Then it takes me to my billing info and says I need a security code.  It's asked me this over and over before.  I add it and it starts working, but this time it says my security code is invalid.  I don't know what to do.
