IPhone Dev Center Temporarily Unavailable?

I've been trying for almost 3 days to download my iPhone developer cert. Whenever I click the download button, I get
iPhone Dev Center Temporarily Unavailable
Anyone know what is going on, or when it will be available again?
Thanks.

Here is what I have pieced together. First, I have opened up several tickets with support and I encourage all of you to open a ticket every time you get the error.
• I am behind a corporate firewall & proxy configuration. I have IE 7 & FireFox 3 on both my desktop and laptop.
• I have no issues logging into the MAC ADC, the issue is just with the iPhone dev center
• I have no issues logging into: MSDN, IBM, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, ebay, amazon, etc. the list goes on. This is literally the only place I am having issues
• I can login to the iPhone dev center from a sprint wireless adapter on the laptop with no proxy or firewall (not a good thing for a corp laptop, but I did it to validate my hypothesis)
• I cannot login consistently at home, where I have Vista, plus the standard arsenal of firewalls and routers with NAT.
• A little research on the net revealed that there are many more, especially within corporate environments, that are having this issue.
• It appears that there is a process that uses IP address verification (not confirmed, but that would not work well in a proxy/FW corp environement.)
• Tech support provided me with the 1990’s standard fix approach to clear cookies and cache (huh???) if the iPhone dev center needs cookies and cache cleared (for real) then there is something very odd going on with the technology they are using. “1995 called and they want their standard browser fix back”
I am hoping that this can be resolved so that my developers can be productive at work rather than having to get to the dev center through creative and extraordinary means.

Re: Impossible to activate your iPhone, activation server temporarily unavailable.. how long it will take?

hi there
just update ios to try beta 6 to our test iphone 3gs but we got the message
Impossible to activate your iPhone, activation server temporarily unavailable..
we try several times to activate it but nothing. we have the dev account and also the provis auth. any idea why this could happen ?
thanks

As you are running a beta you must be a developer. You will have to go to the Developer forums for help.
I suspect there is nothing wrong with the activation server; more likely you hacked the phone to get the beta. Now you are stuck.

IPhone Dev Center Login problem

I am encountering a persistent problem logging into iPhone dev center. After I login, the iPhone dev center just cycle me back to the login screen repeatedly.
The funny thing is, I can access Mac and Safari dev center just fine. Those recognized my iPhone dev center login. But I can't get into iPhone dev center portion.
Only happens at the office. I have seen some people posting about this by there seems to be no clear solution or work around offered yet.

I've had this problem for 2 years and never got any help from apple on it. One thing which works for me sometimes is changing from http to https. However fairly quickly I get to a link somewhere on the apple site which is http and I'm straight back to the 'login' screen again.
I suspect it's got something to do with my ISP doing everything behind a proxy server as I've never had the issue at work, not one single time.

Problems Accessing iPhone Dev Center Forums

Once I log into the iPhone Dev Center. I want to go the forums so I click the "Apple Developer Forums Beta" link. It seems like it does a couple redirects and then I end up at: http://developer.apple.com/
It seems to then log me out. Anyone else having problems getting to the forums?
Thanks, Scott.

Hi Scott -
Unlike the Apple Discussions forums, the Developer Forums Beta is only open to "iPhone Developer Program members and ADC Premier and Select Members". Info about these (paid) memberships is linked to the page you're being redirected to as well as the iPhone Dev Center home page.
If you've already been accepted into the iPhone Dev Program, but are being misdirected, try the direct forum link: [https://devforums.apple.com>.

IPhone activation server temporarily unavailable

I'm trying to install iPhone OS 3.0, it downloaded just fine but when it came time to install the install failed because "The iPhone activation server is temporarily unavailable". I have been retrying the install process constantly but have had no luck, is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any tips on how to accomplish a successful install?

This is a server-side issue, so there really isn't anything you can do besides waiting. Currently, there are a lot of people attempting to perform the activation which requires a 'green light' from an Apple server, and this server seems to not meet the demand. It's a shame that Apple did not prepare for the OS 3.0 launch properly - they knew there will be a lot of iPhone customers trying to upgrade right away and still failed to set aside enough computing power to perform activations.

IPhone activation server temporarily unavailable SOLUTION!

A lot of people, including me, were having this problem. I found a solution that wored for me! Here's what I did...
First, I pressed OK on the message about the iPhone activation server.
Second, I disconected my Internet Connection.
Third, I pressed Update on iTunes and it told me I needed Internet.
Fourth, I reconnected and pressed Update and it worked!
I hope this helps!

That's almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it.
You can not get help for a hacked or jailbroken phone here.

When can I expect the activation email (iPhone dev)?

Hi,
Very excited to submit two apps I've been working on in recent weeks for AppStore consideration.
I've already registered and made the $99 payment, and am awaiting what I'm assuming is an activation email. Any idea when I should expect to receive mine?
Thanks!

how did you make the payment? All I got was an email saying:
"Thank you for submitting your information.
While we process your information, please visit the iPhone Dev Center to download the iPhone SDK and access a wealth of technical resources. Please note, the iPhone Developer Program will initially be available to a limited number of developers and will expand in the coming months.
Next Steps
You will receive notification of your enrollment status. Enrollment ID XXX"
is there anything I can do but wait?

Unable To Login to iOS Dev Center

Hi, I can login to iTunes Connect but unable to login to iOS Dev center ( I am using same crediantials to login for both). My Role is "Technical".
When I am trying to login to iOS Dev Center it is asking me to "Verify Email Address" again as I verified it first time.
Please help me out of this problem.Thanks a Lot.

I have this problem. I don't know if its relevant, but this account has been approved for iPhone Development (e.g. I paid my $99 and got access to the certificates) but I can no longer login. I have verified my login credentials by logging into the ADC site as well as this forum. I only have an issue when I try to use the credentials to login into the iphone dev center.
Has anyone else had the same issues?

I think you should wait patiently for Orangekay to resolve this issue. Orange knows exactly what to do because he knows how important it is for big corporations to have the same access as kitchen table developers.
In the meanwhile please consider that Apple has given us the amazing gift of a World-wide distribution opportunity for independent developers, allowing some of us to actually own the apps we develop. Of course we can hardly wait for armies of cubical slaves to take this away from us. But why don't you take advantage of the opportunity yourself? Take off that silly badge and escape from the firewall once and for all. Unplug from the grid and join us.

Ask him. In any case, if it was jailbroken, you cannot get help here for jailbroken phones. Sorry.

Hey santhosh.pv,
We have a few articles that can help troubleshoot the alert message in iTunes you see when you are trying to restore your iPhone 4. You can resolve many restore issues using the troubleshooting steps documented here:
iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
The next article is the companion of the more general article above. Follow the above article first. If, after following that article, the issue persists, continue with this article:

Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
Still the same TS1275?
Is your iPhone jailbroken?
Or
Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

HT201210 When I try to update my iphone to the latest iphone software on my MacBook in itunes a message displays "This iphone cannot be updated at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.

Hi guys, When I try to update my iphone4s to the latest software on itunes via my MacBook a message displays a message: 'This iPhone "Seans iphone" cannot be updated at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable'. This has happened a few time s now. I have look through the FAQ's but no luck. Can someon help? Cheers

Try posting to the correct forum.
This is the iPhone for the Enterprise forum... there is nothing about the issue that appears to apply to using an iPhone in an Enterprise (corporate) environment.
Try posting to the iTunes for the Mac forum.

IPhone 4S could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable

If you got the "scary" message that you could not activate iPhone 4S neither by Wi-Fi or iTunes, I want to share my experience:
I decided to reset my iPhone 4S, and used "Erase All Content and Settings" under the reset menu (Settings/General/Reset), I was hoping that the erasing just does that, but for me the nightmare started!
I was taken to the activation screens, and begun with the welcome one, choose language, choose location services (later on it also disappears) and selecting Wi-Fi and/or iTunes for activation.
I chose a Wi-Fi network the process started, and gave me a message that it will take about three minutes to activate iPhone, few minutes later a screen with this message appears: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
Then, I decided to try the activation using iTunes…
Using iTunes, after few minutes, it shows the following message: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
I tried several times in both ways, trying 4 different Wi-Fi networks and 3 different computers in the whole process, and I was going desperate! I started to find out some info about this trouble over the Internet, and guess what? I was not alone! But I did not find any answer or solution either!
Finally, I joined Apple Support Communities, and started searching with no good luck at all, until I found (many hours later) this old (2009) solution:
+Do a DFU recovery:+
+1. Open iTunes.+
+2. Connect the iPhone+
+3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).+
+4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.+
+5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.+
(THANKS A LOT!!! modular747 and Easily Easy, you saved me!!!)
Then I suggest everyone to use this, of course it will erase everything, but you may be able to recover your data from your last backup, or you can also choose to configure iPhone as a new cell phone.
The process took me about 92 minutes, but it was worth it, now I own an unlocked iPhone 4S (it was an AT&T when I purchased from Apple Store in November) and is working perfectly!
Hope it is useful for all of you facing this trouble!
Good luck and enjoy your iPhone then!

I tried the process and was happy to note that there was some process that I managed to start because the process did start ...
However to my disappointment, landed back at the same status which says
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care
I was using a GEVEY sim unlock with iOS 4.1 since (almost) last 2 yrs now in India on Vodafone. But as Apple designed it, there were several apps including Whatsapp, Facebook, Gmail and LinkedIn that stopped functioning due to the iOS updates and the subsequent (I guess 'mandatory' App updates). Finally yesterday I thought of updating to the iOS 6. As soon as I did that, I have been left with no choice but to see the above message.
The process by jhidrowoh starts corectly but iTunes doesnt give you the option of restore only ... it is forcefully clubbed with update and the button that is displayed in the dialog box that appears on pressing 'Restore' in teh recovery mode, shows 'Restore and Update' and as soon as the iPhone is restored, it automatically updates the iOS as well to iOS 6 and hence leaves you hanging in the stale situation.
Guys ... Need the data desperately ... Can anybody please help???

I am trying to update my Iphone 3 and when i get to the activation step after a few minutes it shows a message that says " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try conenecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
If the problem persist, contact apple support at apple.com/support
I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.

These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
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.
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.
