For how long have you been receiving this error message? The initial run on the iOS 5 update should be over and the activation server should be up and running right now. So there may be a problem on your end, such as firewall settings. This article offers some suggestions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275

I can't activate my phone after update??

Hi, after I updated the latest iOS, my phone 3GS went into recovery mode and I had to restore it twice. But after that I can't activate my phone
Please help!
This is the error message:
On iTunes: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your netword connection is active, then try again"
On phone: "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes."
This happens even though my internet is working fine and I can access itunes store normally
THANKS HEAPS

Also I have not done anything to the phone ever since I bought it, so I assume that it's locked?

There is nothing you can do. That is the Activation Lock that Apple has implemented tout down on theft of their iPhones.
Most likely the iPhone is stolen.
It is totally worthless to you.

IPad 2 can't open App Store after updated to iOS 7, what should I do now?

iPad 2 can't open App Store after updated to iOS 7, what should I do now? I've been updates to iOS 7.0.4 but it still not working!

Same as you would do with any battery issue before you updated: restore the phone as NEW, not using backup at all.

Why can't I use siri after updated to ios 6.1

why can't I use siri after updated to ios 6.1

Check your settings to make sure Siri is actually enabled. Sometimes I find that Siri will disable during the updating process. Oh, and it should be iOS 6.0 not 6.1. 6.1 doesn't exist...yet.

How I can closed all open application after update to iOS 7.0.2.0?? Before this v iOS7 we was can closed any application's open :(

How I can closed all open application after update to iOS 7.0.2.0?? Before this v iOS7 we was can closed any application's open :(

There's no good way to do it. But you don't need to. iOS 7 automatically handles whether an application takes up memory or has files open. There's no real advantage to you ever closing an application yourself.
If you are having problems with a particular app, please describe them.

Can't activate iphone 3gs after update

After update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs wants activate. After update from ios 4 to ios 5 all was fine. Iphone was locked to some carrier. IMEI 011985003296760
How I can know is my Iphone locked to at&t or another mobile operator? Sorry for my english.

This happens to iPhone which is unofficially unlocked. Nobody here can tell you the carrier to which your iPhone was locked.
Need to call AppleCare
or
Google its full model no. to get a hint.

I cant activate my iPhone after updating to ios 7.1.2

Hello,
I cant activate my iphone after updating to 7.1.2. Before this I update my iPhone from 7.0.6 to 7.1.1 everything goes fine. But after update to 7.1.2 I cant activate my iPhone eventhough I use the same Apple ID when I activate this iPhone.
Please dont ask : Maybe you forgot your Apple ID password? - I use my apple ID almost for 3 years for my iPod n iPhone. And it still fine for my iPod.the
I have : -
1. A box with same IMEI serial number.
2. Service Card with same IMEI serial number.
3. All original accessories that come with this iPhone.
This is just a prove that this iPhone is not a stolen iPhone.

After updating the firmware on IOS7 I can not activate my iPhone 4. ITunes says "Unlock the iPhone on this ***** @ *******. ru impossible" The server is not overloaded, the connection is good...

Hello, i can not activate my device after upgrading to ios 7.0

NOW IT 5 DAYS TODAY,I HAVE UPDAT THE SOFTWARE TO IOS7.0.3, NOW I CAN NOT ACTIVATE MY PHONE WITH THE SAME USER NAME, WHICH I USED IN PAST.
PLEASE I WOULD BE THANKFUL FOR THE HELP.

What is the exact wording of the error message you receive?
Has your iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?
Were you running one of the beta versions of iOS 7?

Can't sync my phone after updating. Only getting message that I need to restore (which I have done several times now)

I, sadly like so many others, updated to the bug filled 5.0.1 and my phone had an error. I got the little link to iTunes and nothing else on my phone after it shut down. Once I did that I have an option to set up as a new phone or restore to my last sync (earlier in the day). I have run the restore three times and each time the phone goes through and shuts down. When it turns back on I have signal, 3G, contacts, text history, calendars, and photos as well as a few apps. Most of my apps are gone and my music library is empty. When I link the phone back to sync I get the same message as initially, that I need to set up as a new phone or restore.
I don't have time to go to an Apple Store to get this worked on and I'm pretty disgusted that Apple has been virtually silent on this matter. Most of the answers I have seen to the various problems people are reporting are coming from other users.
If anyone out there has an idea for me to try, please share. Apple if you're reading this you NEED to do something ASAP because I was planning on getting a new phone after the holidays but if I have to get one now it may not be another iPhone (which this is my third version of over the past 4 years) as I'm not spending the money on myself right before the holiday so it'll be free/discounted phone with updated contract for me, and we know Apple doesn't do that!!

iTunes places the .ipsw file here:
OSX:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
7 &Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Find and delete any and all .ipsw files on your computer. There should only be one, but delete all that you find. Next, disable ALL firewalls & security software on your computer. Connect your phone, iTunes running & restore from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone.
This will force iTunes to re-download the .ipsw file, as I suspect yours is corrupt.

HT4623 cannot activate the phone after updating

cannot activate phone after updating

it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.

Can't activate Iphone 4 since updating to IOS 7.1.1 yesterday

I've had this iphone 4 since december 2013. It was a gift from a relative in Japan. Since factory unlocking it costs way too much, i decided to just use it as an ipod. I've been using it since then to browse the web, watch videos on youtube, etc with no problem. Updating it to newer ios versions was pretty easy too, i never had to use my pc and could just update it through just the phone alone until yesterday when my iphone said that there's a newer version of ios available which was iso 7.1.1 i was already on ios 7 , so i updated but after updating, the itunes logo appeared and said i needed to connect the phone to itunes and restore it before i can use it. it was the first time i ever had to do that, so i did. After connecting it to itunes, itunes downloaded the newest software, i waite dfor two hours and after installing the new software, it told me to restore the iphone, i did and i thought everything was fine again but after the iphone screen turned on, it told me to do the basic set up such as the language, wifi connection, and then said that i needed a sim to activate it. i never needed s sim ever since the iphone was given to me why does it require it now?? i was so ****** cause the phone's from softbank japan, how could i possibly get a sim card from them here. My iphone isn't unlocked, jailbroken, etc, i never had it modified whatsoever so why is it acting up now? how can i fix this? i coudn't get thtough the sim activation screen and when i connect it to itunes it either tells me to restore it again or shows me a screen that the phone is not activated and needs a sim or something along that line.
Sorry for the lengthy post. How can i fix this? Thanks!

Thanks for replying. I remembered that there was a used softbank regular sized simcard in the box, we tried it before in a iphone 3gs also from softbank it didn't work. I cut it to a micro sim ,(i googled on how to do it), and still didn't work on my iphone4. i guess the simcard isn't working anymore and i need a new one that actually works. Well off to searching i go!
