Ipad activation failed : unable to continue with your activation at this time

Hi 2 all,
i've just upgraded and restored my ipad to 4.3.2 and now i received always 2 error messages:
1) Unable to continue with your activation at this time
2) Restore Needed Iphone cannot make or receive calls. Restore from itunes ...
Someone can help me ?
Thanks

Got the call today to pick up my iPhone.
The techie that checked it decided to replace my phone with a new one.
The only answer I have to this problem is that you take your iPhone/iPad to Apple support or wherever you bought it from to assist and maybe have it swopped.
Cheers,
RoviWil

Im trying to restore my iphone 3gs to its factory setting at the same time updating to a newer version 6.1.2. while restoring, itunes states"We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activition at this time." i cant open my phone, what does it mean

99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

I have ipad 2
Win I tray to upgrade to iso6 it gave me this massage after finish
we're sorry we are unable to continue with your activation ay this time
customer care
so what I can do

If you don't know exactly where it came from, then odds are you have a hacked, gray market phone.
Call AppleCare and give them the serial number. They should be able to tell you if it's carrier locked in their database. If it is, the only hope of it ever working again would be to get the original carrier to authorize unlocking it. If they won't, it's a brick. Even if they do, there's a chance it may never activate properly again because of the hack.

HT4994 we're sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time? After unlocking my iPhone 4s and trying to restore it to let the SimCard Work.

I have seen this message after upgrading both the iPhone 5S and the iPad 3, when upgrading using a USB connection to iTunes. Is that, what you have been doing?
In that case disconnect your iPhone, start the setup on the iPhone and connect it again to your Mac restore your data.

Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
1. Restart the iPhone.
2. 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.
3. 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.
Thanks,

Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.

If the iPhone was hacked and unlocked via unofficial means, it has become locked again. Insert original SIM in the phone to activate with iTunes.

IPhone 4 won't turn on and unable to continue with your activation at this time

I have an iphone 4 which was working fine. I tried to update it but this time I used a computer running xp. When I did so I got an error. Since getting this error my iphone will not turn on. I am not even getting apple logo. It does show up in itunes but I get the message:
"We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time."
I have tried holding down the home and power button to do a restore and nothing is happening. Please help! Thank you.

No never jailbroken

I can't sync music to my iphone. It just says "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time."

I am in exactly the same problem here as this person. Exactly the same problem.
No, it was not jailbroken. And now because it's in this loop, there's no ability to restore and such on itunes as the only option now is ever 'eject'.
