IPhone 5s, full reset, now won't activate due to activation server being temporarily unavailable
Did "erase all content and settings" on my iPhone 5s yesterday, due to signal being extremely intermittent, came to try starting it up again, with the view of just putting everything straight back on from iCloud, and it wont activate, been trying for 12 hours now, and just says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable"
I have tried numerous times over different WiFi networks, and also by connecting to iTunes... any help.. at all?

Your IPad could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable
Hello!
I bought a used Ipad model A1397. Connected it to Itunes and upgraded to 6.1.3.
After that, I can not activate it because it is constantly writes:
"Your IPad could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting IPad to iTunes to activate, or try again in a few minutes." using WiFi and Itunes. The process of restoring the firmware also did not help ...
PS Sorry for my bad English!Apple is experiencing tevhnical difficulties with APNs
People in Asia reported this 13 hours ago (http://www.sophos.com/ja-jp/support/knowledgebase/119235.aspx) and people in Europe have been tweeting about it for a few hours. Seems like a global issue with Apple. Unfortunetly Apples services page doesnt list APNs: http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

My IPAD2 saids that it can not activate because the activation server is down. What does this mean.
It was bought from an second hand shop, called cash conventors, which you give your old electricals in and you get money for it, then they put those electricals for sale and i bought this iphone that way
It was working fine before but i couldnt call people as it said "call failed" and then there was a call back option which leads you to the home screen !
I have restored my iphone and now it says :
the iphone could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Please connect to itunes to activate it or try again in a few minutes.
iTunes says: There is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are trying to activate. Please disconnect and insert a sim card in the iPhone.
There already is a valid simcard in the iPhone though!!!!!!!!!!!! -

That message usually indicates that the phone was either hacked/modified or jailbroken?
Was this phone ever locked to a different phone carrier? -
this is the message i am getting:
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
nothing i can do to it
looked on forums, can't get to anything (flight mode, etc, etc)This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
If this is the case... Then...
Sorry... But...

HT1937 I can't activate my iPhone 5 it says the activation server is temporarily unavailable
I'm having trouble with my iPhone 5 yesterday I just saw a message saying iPhone is not activated and every time I try it won't work it's saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable . I have the ios 7 I got it from a friend that has a developers account . Even I plug my phone to iTunes it won't still activate I don't know what else to do I'm so frustrated about this cuz I'm waiting for an important call its for ,my job interview please help
If you have iOS 7 your're either a developer or a thief. If you're a developer, post in the developer forum. If you're a thief, hopefully you will be prosecuted. In any case, you cannot receive support here.

I can not activate my iphone 3GS because the activation server is temporarily unavailable and takes about an hour so I can do?
Sometimes the activation server is just not available for a short time. Trying again usually corrects this problem. But as Peter Gillespie suggests, if the iPhone you are trying to activate has ever been jailbroken, or the computer you are using to activate the phone has been used to jailbreak an iOS device then you will get the Activation Server not Available message.

iPhone could not be activated because activation server is temporarily unavailable. this is now the third day and nothing improves please help. iTunes says my sim is locked but I can't unlock it
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, see the troubleshooting suggestions here:
