?ow to reactivate my iphone 4s?
I have said that usually means the servers have detected a jailbroken iPhone
and will not activate as Apple does not support JB ..................not a lot you can do
Have you just purchased the iPhone secondhand if so get your money back -
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...
The discussion of Jailbroken Devices is against the Terms of Use of this Forum.
You will need to look elsewhere.

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?http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424

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??? -

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. -

My iphone could not be actived becouse the activation server is temporarily unavailable
my iphone 3gs could not be actived becouse the activation server is temporarily unavailable..i already update IOS 4.1 to IOS 6.1 but this error and itunes not connect.
As explained already on these forums hundreds of times...what you're seeing is generally the result of a jailbroken or hacked phone. Search Google for help as post like these are generally deleted by the forum moderatos since they discuss circumventing Or hacking Apple devices. Search before posting please.

Iphone activation server is temporarily unavailable
I am trying to re-activate my iPhone with Sprint, following a complete erase, but I get the message "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting to Itunes or try again ..."
So are all of the activation servers down - it;s been at least an hour now.Possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer. -
I have a brand new iPhone 5 64gb, and I'm trying to activate it. But when I connect either to WiFi or iTunes via PC, i get the following message:
'Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable'
Any idea what the problem could be? The phone was purchased from someone who received the phone as an upgrade.
When a sim is entered it shows 'Searching...' but doesn't show 'No SIM' or 'No Service'Generally a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to work with other than the original wireless carrier and
an upgrade or restore has relocked the iPhone to the original carrier.
You will need to contact that original carrier to see if they offer
unlocking and if you qualify.
Best advice - return the iPhone to whoever sold it to you, get your
money back, and purchase a truly new iPhone from Apple or an
Apple authorized reseller in your location. -
