Trying to activate my apple tv and stuck on the activation
I just brought a 3rd generation apple TV and trying to install it. It seems to be stuck on activation screen.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

Im trying to activate iphone with itunes and I get: "The iTunes store is temporary unavailable..." Any help??
Hello there, sarahg12.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting repeated prompts for authorization:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389
All the topics are relevant but this one tends to be the most common culprit:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

i need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?
You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:
https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it? -

This is almost always a hardware failure that requires replacing the phone.
Not clear what you mean by "some steps on apple website", but try everything in this support article:

Tried to restore my ipod I just wanted to back to factory setting and delete everything on it. I did it and NOW everything is erased, gone, and stuck on the apple logo. Populated that it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Clicked on restored and error (1) came up. So now I have a useless iPod that I purchased. Big apple user minus my laptop. 2 iPod, 2 iShuffles, iPad, 4 iPhones, iMac 27 inch. If this isn't rectified I will never buy and continue to push my consumers, family, and friends on my bad experience with apple. iTunes is up to date and now I am concerned that if do anything to my phone this same problem will happen.

<Personal Information Edited By Host>Hello, Marc.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Error 1 or -1 can be very tricky to resolve and sometimes leads to a device needing service. That being said, here are the steps I would go through first for this specific error.
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

If the iPod is still unable to be restored it may needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service. This link will also allow give you the option to contact Apple Support for possible additional troubleshooting steps and options.

Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, you will have to recover the email and password used to activate it. -
Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

Anybody can help? My Carrier is o2 Germany.

i bought an ipad from a friend but he doesnt know his apple id and password and is stuck at the activation screen what do i have to do to get it unlocked
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. Are you sure the "friend" who sold you this iPad was the primal owner? If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to "your friend" and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

when trying to activate iCloud on iPhone and iPad I get "account not verified... check your email." Can't verify account on either device.
Can't verify device on website either.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you. -
I downloaded the iOS 7 but it would not install so i tethered it to my computer the connect to iTunes screen came on the iPhone. But after a few minutes, it crashed and iTunes told me it was in recovery mode and that it will be restored to factory setting. After that process, it is stuck on the activation part and will not activate. Please advise!
All of Apple's servers...including the activation servers are pretty much flooded with users like you doing the same thing. Be patient and keep at it...or wait till the traffic to them has decreased and then try again. Coming back to it tomorrow (if that's a viable option for you) will likely increase your chances of not having issues.

Trying to activate a second iphone and itunes doesnt recognize
I am trying to activate a second iphone, and itunes doesnt recognize that it is plugged in. This is also the case with my other iphone and my itouch. Tried restarting everything and also tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, nothing has worked. Is there a way to fix this or another way to activate the phone?
Try activating it on a different computer, and using a different dock connector to USB cable if possible.
If that doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem. Take it to your Apple Store for testing. -

Buzz! Thank you for playing!
Any warranty you had is void and your ability to get help here or from Apple is forfeit.
Try Google. We can not assist you per the terms of service.
It's very likely that your phone is now a brick. -
Hi! I tried to instal whatsapp thro istore and it displayed the terms and conditions page. But the problem is there is no save or agree button. I am stuck in this page. I need help. This is a iphone5. This was after I upgraded to ios7.
It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
You can get it here:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
You can download the latest version from here:

Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
