Iphone 5 will not activate after iOS7 update.

Ive tried over the air and through iTunes, no luck either way. Says the servers cannot be contacted.
Is there a number I can call to activate this another way?

Apple's activation servers are probably very busy. Calling AppleCare will not really help as the servers are what allow that to happen. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.

  • My Iphone 4 will not charge after Ios7 update, does anyone know how to fix ?, My Iphone 4 will not charge after Ios7 update, does anyone know how to fix ?

    My Iphone 4 will not charge after ipdate to IOS 7.0.4, Does anyone have a solution ? I have tried apple cables and chargers. I see many have the same issue. Anyone made progress ?

    No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
    Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS   Just have a quick Google!
    Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
    Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ......

  • IPhone 3GS will not activate after IOS5 update it says there is no SIM

    I tried updating my iPhone 3GS to IOS5 and it is saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable and then iTunes says there is no SIM but there is.

    Here's what you do
    1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
    2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
         a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
         b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
         c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
    3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
    4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
    5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
    6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
    You're welcome

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

    Thank you for the response, I have not tried a restore, won't that wipe out everything on the phone? Leaving on vacation and don't have time to start over, I'll have to try this after I get back if the next response does not solve the problem.

  • IPhone 3GS Will Not Activate After Restore

    Hello,
    Full story:
    I purchased an iPhone 3GS 3 years ago locked to the O2 network UK.
    Throughout the years this phone has been jailbroke and unlocked on numerous ios versions.
    I have decided to fully restore my phone so I can take advantage of the 6.1.3 update and realise that the phone will be locked back to O2.
    I have bought an O2 pay and go sim in preperation and have fully restored the iphone.
    I progress through the configuration menus at the beginning and the phone is picked up by itunes but after a while of trying to activate the screen says:
    [quote]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[/quote]
    As stated the phone is connected to iTunes already, aswell as WiFi, and the O2 sim card is in the phone.
    Can anyone please assist as to why this is happening as an hour ago the phone was working fine (pre restore) and now this.
    Many thanks in advance
    D4

    The hack used to unlock it has rendered it unable to activate at all. Apple's servers can detect the hack and have disabled activation. Even on the carrier it was originally locked to. You will have to contact O2 and see if they will authorize a legitimate unlock.
    There is no other advice we can offer. You have forfeited all rights to support by hacking and jailbreaking the phone.

  • Iphone 5 will not activate after restore.

    Hi there,
    my iphone 5 was having some issues so i did a restore and now my phone says it cant activate.
    Saying:
    "Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temprarily unavilable. Try connecting your Iphone to itunes to activate or try again in a couple of minutes".
    i have tried to restart the phone multiple times over the past half hour to try and activate....
    any advice?!

    Were you running iOS 7 beta?  If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.
    Not a developer and running iOS 7 beta?  Then you've stolen Apple's software and will receive absolutely no assistance from this forum.  Enjoy your iBrick!

  • My itunes store will not open after IOS7 update on my 4s?

    I updated my phone to IOS7 and my itunes store initially worked after this update. However it has now stopped working and it opens then turns to a white screen and closes its self within seconds. Is there anyway of fixing this without resetting my whole phone? help please

    Same problem on my intel MacBookPro. Happened to me after doing the ilife08 upgrade a few minutes ago. Downloaded from apple again and did the upgrade option. That seems to have done the trick.

  • IPhone 5s will not activate after erasing data

    I Reset my iPhone 5s and now it will not reactivate
    error message reads activation server is temporarily unavailable
    been been this way for several hours

    That error message means either that your phone was previously jailbroken, or, if you are using your computer it was previously used to jailbreak or hack some iOS device, or your antivirus or router is blocking access to Apple's activation servers.

  • IPhone 3gs will not activate after restore, NEVER HACKED/JAILBROKEN! Help!

    I've recently tried to update to the newest firmware, And my iPhone 3gs, Which has, and I will add emphasis, Never Been Hacked or Jailbroken! , Messed up and I had to factory reset the device. All wen't well with the restore, until I attempted to Activate said device, to which it stated it could not connect to the server to activate the phone! So, I attempted to do it the iTunes way, and yet again, It could not connect to the server.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, Tried it on multiple computers on the home network, also tried it on a completely different network, every time, the same answer.
    And to top it all off, My "backup" on iTunes that I did every week to save my pictures/music/videos, in case of this type of event, Has also been completley erased.
    I am at a huge loss, I have no idea what to do! I hope someone can help.

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
