I am having a similar issues with you.
In my case, it is an ipod touch with beta ios7 with legit UDID.
It has been telling me that the activation server might be temporarily down since two weeks ago or even more.
Is the server really down?

[Activation] Apple iOS Activation servers down?

Hi, today i was trying to update my iPhone 4S from iOS 5.0 to 5.1.1. No problems restoring it, but when i try to activate it, the process fails every time. It seems that Apple Activation servers are down?
Im a computer enthusiast and have already checked my home network for issues that can block access to apple servers, also checked from another network and machines, but still no luck. Tried to activate using WiFi on my iPhone, 3G network, and even Connect to iTunes on my PC. I noticed that apple activation server is gs.apple.com. Pinging it from any source on my network just generates timeouts, and even tried to ping it from online pages that provide ping service (ping.eu), but it generates timeouts too.
This is happening since about 3 hours ago, and im still with my iphone waiting for activation, cant restore backups neither. It seems that my iphone, for now, its only filling space on my protective case.
I attached a traceroute and pings from my network and from an online page that provides it, also Screenshots of both errors on my iPhone and iTunes.
Thanks.

Hi, to activate your iPhone using wi-fi:
1) Connect to your wi-fi then press the home button and press more wi-fi settings
2) A blue arrow should appear next to you wi-fi name, press the blue arrow
3) On the DNS section input 8.8.8.8 and then try the activation again.
Hope this helps

Look in the hosts file on your computer (as you didn't say what kind of computer and OS you have I can't tell you where it is, but Google will help). if you see any lines that contain gs.apple.com delete them and your phone should be able to be activated.

Activation Servers Down?

Hello all! I know this has been asked before, but it seems to be a recurring problem. Are the Apple Activation Servers offline?
My wife's iPhone 4s glitched yesterday so I did a software restore. The phone wants to "activate" but I keep getting the message that the "activation server is temporarily unavailable". I have been getting this message for the past 24 hours. Any one else having the issue or know of a solution?
I have tried the "turn it off and on again" routine, as well as the "restore in DFU mode" about six times and still no luck.
Am I just at the mercy of Apple to get their servers back up and running or is it something else that I am missing?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

BK,
I actually had to go to my local Apple store and meet with a Genius for an hour. What it turned out to be was some "policy" setting.
I read the documentation that the Genius found, and didn't totally understand it, and I am a tech guy by trade. But it apparently had something to do with a setting in my account back at the Apple Mothership, or a check box that didn't get checked on their end.
So he submitted a rapid response ticket to Apple Tech Support and in about an hour the phone activated and was back up and running.
The way he explained it to me is that there are thousands of settings in our accounts back at Apple, and if one little check box goes awry, it can keep the phone from activating. So why it happened, I have no idea and neither did they. But did they get it fixed? Yes.
I hope that helps. But if you can, either give Apple a call, or head to a local store.

Are the Email servers down, I am unable to access new mail.

Are the email servers down? I am unable to retrieve my mail from either on-line or the local mail app.

Still down; about 24 hours now. The Apple Rep I spoke to yesterday said they were HOPING to get them back up within 24 hours, but didn't want to promise that.
I've moved all my contact info over to gmail.

Are the iCloud servers down?

Are the icloud servers down? I cannot backup and it comes up with an error. Also the appstore is being pretty bad. It loads an app on install gets stuck on waiting and wont carry on. Yet my friends icloud is fine, but another friends isnt. I updated today to 5.1.1. Also when using apps which use icloud such as 'find my ipad' it says i have no wifi? yet im connected and the internet such as facebook and safari is fully functional. Ipad 2 wifi. Thanks.

I have no problems at all and I just tried the Find iPhone app and it was successful. I have download app updates and the app store is working fine for me. There were a few discussions Earlier tonight about users not being able to activate their new iPads or restore them and they were getting messages indicating that there might be a problem with the servers.
It possible that the servers are having issues but nearly impossible to confirm.

Verizon or Apple activation server down?

I spent about 3 hours in a NY city area Apple store yesterday (Saturday November 3, 2012), attempting to pick up my iPhone 5. Apple said the Verizon servers were down, Verizon said there was nothing wrong on their end. Has there been a issue recently? I even attempted to just purchase the phone and I would activate it myself (as I travel frequently), Apple said they could not do that because they could not sell the phone without Verizon knowing the phone was sold. Apple explained that they actually activate the phone when its sold, but they have to communicate with Verizon to let them know this (action) has occured.
My basic question, was/is Verizon having an issue activating phones?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

i work for an indirect agent so i will give it to you straight. Verizon has servers in the basement of a building in new york....its a data exchange server system. it links two systems together. from what i have heard is the basement has been flooded since Wednesday and it crapped out yesterday. they say its an "update" to make it sound scheduled but it was not. They immediately started using "older" back up systems and got a lot of the country back online but at very very slow speeds. I think i have seen one email today saying they are still experiencing "lag" today on the network. Verizon does have hundreds of people working on these issues and of course they hate the fact they are losing money every min the problem persists. just call your local store before going and ask if they are able to upgrade or activate today in the store.

Activation servers down, no failsafe... a working day wasted

This morning my PSCS5 extended subscription couldn't reach the activation servers... they are down (so says the Adobe helpdesk guy)... Try in 24 hours?!?!?!
How can be that there is no failsafe??? I wasted a working day and I guess Adobe won't pay a dime right?
Outrageous!

Hi Jeff,
the server just became available here so now it works again. It doesn't allow any 30 days trial, launching PS I had the activation panel popping up and I was just able to try again or quit... I did activate the product as I've been working since day 1 of my subscription. It's 9.30PM here... and I have to catch up with the work that I couldn't do today... Really Adobe needs to put in place a failsafe to allow bypassing these situations. It's absurd that having a standing subscription there is no way around a connectivity problem

APPLE ACTIVATION SERVER DOWN!

How long is the Apple Activation server for the iPhone going to be down?

It'll clear up. Hopefully sooner rather than later, indeed. A lot of people thought it would be a simple update and it's caused extreme issues in their workday, such as people who are on call and now are totally unavailable.
You'll want to stay connected to Wifi, or to iTunes (if you're trying in iTunes) and keep trying as often as you can stand it.

Is the apple activation server down?

I reset my phone 4 to get rid of previous settings and things and now it says "activation server down you can connect to itunes or try again later" I connected to intunes and tried everything apple told me to do. I also went to verizon store. I called apple and they said the activation server was down , but It has been this way for 2 days . Is it really down?

Here's a link to the Apple System Status page:

I believe a sim card is required to activate an iPhone.
