Is the apple activation server down?

I reset my phone 4 to get rid of previous settings and things and now it says "activation server down you can connect to itunes or try again later" I connected to intunes and tried everything apple told me to do. I also went to verizon store. I called apple and they said the activation server was down , but It has been this way for 2 days . Is it really down?

Here's a link to the Apple System Status page:

I believe a sim card is required to activate an iPhone.

  • Is the Apple activation server down? march 27th

    I am trying to activate my iphone 4 after wiping all my data from it and i get this message
    We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
    The solutions online seem to suggest that its not me but the server.
    I am currently in Armenia, and do not have access to a sim card.

  • APPLE ACTIVATION SERVER DOWN!

    How long is the Apple Activation server for the iPhone going to be down?

    It'll clear up. Hopefully sooner rather than later, indeed. A lot of people thought it would be a simple update and it's caused extreme issues in their workday, such as people who are on call and now are totally unavailable.
    You'll want to stay connected to Wifi, or to iTunes (if you're trying in iTunes) and keep trying as often as you can stand it.

  • Are the apple activation servers down currently because i just resotred my 4s and it keeps saying the apple activation servers might be temporarily down and i tried to connect it to itunes for activation and that didnt work

    I am having a similar issues with you.
    In my case, it is an ipod touch with beta ios7 with legit UDID.
    It has been telling me that the activation server might be temporarily down since two weeks ago or even more.
    Is the server really down?

  • Verizon or Apple activation server down?

    I spent about 3 hours in a NY city area Apple store yesterday (Saturday November 3, 2012), attempting to pick up my iPhone 5.  Apple said the Verizon servers were down, Verizon said there was nothing wrong on their end.  Has there been a issue recently?  I even attempted to just purchase the phone and I would activate it myself (as I travel frequently), Apple said they could not do that because they could not sell the phone without Verizon knowing the phone was sold.  Apple explained that they actually activate the phone when its sold, but they have to communicate with Verizon to let them know this (action) has occured.
    My basic question, was/is Verizon having an issue activating phones?
    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    i work for an indirect agent so i will give it to you straight. Verizon has servers in the basement of a building in new york....its a data exchange server system. it links two systems together. from what i have heard is the basement has been flooded since Wednesday and it crapped out yesterday. they say its an "update" to make it sound scheduled but it was not. They immediately started using "older" back up systems and got a lot of the country back online but at very very slow speeds. I think i have seen one email today saying they are still experiencing "lag" today on the network. Verizon does have hundreds of people working on these issues and of course they hate the fact they are losing money every min the problem persists. just call your local store before going and ask if they are able to upgrade or activate today in the store.

    Look in the hosts file on your computer (as you didn't say what kind of computer and OS you have I can't tell you where it is, but Google will help). if you see any lines that contain gs.apple.com delete them and your phone should be able to be activated.

  • HT4528 Is the Apple Activation Server having problems today? I know its ios7 launch today but I cant get my replacement iphone 5 to activate.

    Activation Fails in all 3 ways. Over Cellular Connection, Over WiFi, and when i attempt to plug in to iTunes. What's the deal?

    Server overload is the issue, including activation
    servers.  Just unfortunate that you got your replacement
    the same day as a new iOS release.

  • I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.

    I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs, including files that refuse rto open:

  • I can't connected to the apple tv server

    I can't connected to the apple tv server?????

    Hello Dinaabiy,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Apple TV issues:
    Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180
    If you can't restart your Apple TV because it's unresponsive, try the following:
    Hold down Menu and Down on the Apple Remote for six seconds, and then release when you see the indicator light on the Apple TV blink rapidly.
    Unplug the Apple TV power cord for three seconds, and then plug it back in.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • IFrustrated with IBrick.....AT&T now blaming Apple Activation Server

    Just got off the phone with AT&T tech person re: Iphone activation issue everyone is dealing with and was told she had never even seen an Iphone yet and that they had determined it was an Apple Activation Server problem not passing data back to AT&T to allow the process to complete.
    Maybe folks at Apple Iphone need to find a new I-Job tomorrow.
    Dual 2.7 Ghz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Dunno if it's a widespread problem or not, but mine was up, activated and working in like 5 minutes.
