My iPad will not activate because the activation server cannot be reached?
I have an iPad 1 and when I updated my ipad I get passed the language then wifi part but when i get to the activation part it says it cannot be activated. When I plug my ipad into itunes, itunes says it cannot recognize the ipad. help?
Hello
My ipad gone crazy a few days ago. It is always trying to activate itself. The first message that appeared was "Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". I' was able to restore the iPad and backup it but iTunes does not recognize it anymore. I've tried to connect to iTunes using my Macbook and iMac. All my software is up to date.I've contacted for technical asistance and they said they could do nothing to repair it . I can not believe that there's nothing Apple can do. Could you please help me?

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/

Try activating your iPad using another WiFi network
Ask someone who does have a computer running iTunes for help.
Take your iPad to an Apple Store and ask them for help. -
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!!!!!!!!!!!! -

Apple's iPhone Activation Servers Experiencing Extended Outage
Thursday July 25, 2013 8:59 am PDT by Eric Slivka
While Apple is still working to bring its developer site back up a week after taken offline due to a security breach, the company appears to be experiencing another problem with its systems today, as a number of MacRumors have reported they are unable to activate their new iPhones. Other reports are showing up on Twitter as the problems continue.
According to one tipster who called Apple about the problem, the company's activation servers are currently down. Another AT&T employee has told MacRumors that AT&T has also confirmed the outage, and posts in Apple's discussion forum offer similar information.
Reports of problems began surfacing nearly three hours ago, and there is no word yet on when users can expect the issue to be fully resolved. -
i tried to download the ios7 and when my phone rebooted it now says could not activate phone because the activation server cannot be reached, so now I can't get into anything on my phone
The activation servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today. You might need to wait and try again later.

Whenever I try to activate my 4th generation iPod Touch bought today, via my home router (Asus) which has a good signal, I get the warning: "Your iPod Touch could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached." Very frustrating. When I try to activate it via iTunes on my HP laptop, it won't do it either. Very frustrated and unimpressed.
You are running into the activation lock.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
You have to either enter the Apple/iCloud ID and password in order to activate the iPod for use. Or you can try to dissassociate the iPod for that account by:

Got an (unlocked) iphone 4s from US and tried activating in India but it throws an error saying 'unable to activate bcos the activation server cannot be reached' ..I tried connecting to itunes through my laptop but it does not detect my iphone..pls help

Got an (unlocked) iphone 4s from US
As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
Good luck. -
I have a new device. When selecting the language and country I am trying to connect to a wifi connection and getting the error 'Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting to your Iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.
Where exactly did you get this phone?
Do you have a SIM in the phone?
There are 2 primary causes for this.
Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it. -

Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here. -
hi, i am from india and i have just replaced my sim card in my iphone 4s but it says that iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. what is the solution to attend this problem ?
Hello Sunnymalik1,
You must only have the required sim. All the information should be on your box.

Your ipad could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached
I had just finished updating my iphone 5 to ios 7 via wifi, so next i tried to update my ipad mini the same way. It initially said there was an error during downloading and I tried it again several times with the same error. I then connected my ipad to itunes to update there, but no luck. I tried to restore my ipad from itunes and i got a restore error 3004 message, so i reset it directly from my ipad. Now when I try to activate my ipad i get an error saying it cannot be activated because the activation seriver cannot be reached. My internet is working fine, everything works, and it cannot connect to itunes store when i plug my ipad in. My ipad appears on itunes as well. I tried putting my phone in recovery mode and restoring and updating, but that did not work either. I am not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?
