Trying to register iPhone 4. iTunes store says its busy and cannot connect, try again latter.

Trying to register new iPhone 4 for the first time. iTunes store says its busy and cannot connect. I have tried many times over 2 days but no luck. What can I try.

Hello,
Almost a year later and I'm experiencing this exactly situation now.
I was in the middle of the process of data migration from iPhone 4 to 4S and due to really slow download speed restoring iCloud backup, I interrupted the process and started a new full restore process through USB and iTunes (reset all setting and configurations on the 4S and did a local machine backup of the old 4 and asked to restore from that).
After a full successful restore process, I'm trying to delete the old iPhone 4 2GB backup in iCloud and the error message saying that "this backup cannot be deleted because its being used to restore another device, or backup is currently in progress".
Of course I ran out of spece (iPad, old iPhone 4 and new iPhone 4S backups) and I tried everything, disabling iCloud, deleting from my MBP, from iPad, and no success.
I cannot restore the old 4 and deactivate iCloud backup because I don't have this phone anymore, probably it's already in use by another person.
PS: iOS6, Mountaing Lion
Any ideas?
Thanks

    I have this same problem. It's like it is not Authorizing this Mac.
    What happens when you try to listen to a preview on the Music Store?
    Mine asks me to authorize again and gives me the error exactly as you said above.
    What happens when you try to view your account information (in Music Store, click on your account name in the top right corner)?
    Mine lets me authorize sucessfully and shows me my account information.
    I have emailed iTunes support about this and they replied with a generic answer about Deauthorizing and re-authorizing the computer.
    I even tried, to no avail, the tips here...

  • TS1717 itunes keeps saying "your session has timed out. try again" everytime i try to do anything on itunes

    itunes keeps saying 'your session has timed out. try again" everytime i try to do anything on itunes

    I had this problem, but it was because I was clicking on an external link. Try instead going straight into iTunes, then going to the Podcast section. At the bottom of the "Podcast Quick Links" section, there's a text, "Submit a Podcast." Click on this instead. Once I did, I got to the same page as before, but it did process the feed.
    Good luck!

  • My ipod is saying its disabled and to connect to itunes but when i do it does nothing, what do i do??

    My ipod touch is saying its disabled and to connect to itunes but when i do that it does nothing, what can i do to fix it??

    If your iPod has been disabled due to multiple incorrect passcode attempts, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

  • I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery

    I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?

    If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board.  Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices.  There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
    You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again.

  • Trying to update iPhoto to 9.5.1 but app store says its installed and the iPhoto on my computer is 9.4 ?

    my computer is running iphoto 9.4 something but the app store says 9.5.1 is insstalled an won't let me try to update it??

    while it is possible to keep two different copies of iPhto around it is a really bad idea
    the iPhoto application MUST be in the applications folder on your main boot drive - if it is anywhere else it will not update - if you have multiple copies of the iPhoto Application you must delete all except the one in your applicaitions folder on your boot drive
    You need to get rid of all iPhoto applications except the one in your Applicatiosn folder on the boot drive (third time for this suggestion) and update it to the latest then update all iPhoto libraries to work with it

  • I am on ios7 using 5s, i am unable to make in-app purchases in clash of clans game, it says purchase failed and cannot connect to itunes

    I am devasted with this, anyone else facing this issues, i have 2 apple ids and i have tried working and downloading the game with both ids and both ids have balance and i even tried changing the game centre as well. nothing helped.

    I am having the same problem.  There are 3 different apps that I have tried to make an "in app" purchase on.  One of the apps tells me "Cannot connect to itunes".  We know that this is not true as I have connected to it immediately before and after trying to make this purchase.  The other 2 purchase that I have tried to make just don't do anything when click the "Buy now" icon.
    I do not use restrictions.  I have also tried the solutions above.  This problem started on my last phone, the original iphone4 with ios4 and has persisted after an upgrade to the 4S with ios5.
    I can't believe that we are the only 2 people with this problem.

  • My iPad says no service, and cannot connect to the server,cannot get mail .Sim card is locked and down to one last try.My wireless works for other pads and phones.

    IiPad says no service,and in mail says cannot connect to server.Wi Fi is working fine.

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.

  • When I try to go onto itunes it says its corrupted and needs to be re-installed? I've been trying to do this but it still does the same thing. How do I get my music back?

    My itunes comes up corrupted and won't let me into my music? How do I get my music back?

    Is it the application that says it is corrupted, or is it the library?  Precision and little details are important and helpful when you provide them with the question.
    If it is the library, try rebuilding it.

  • HT1692 when i connect my iphone to itunes it say its corrupted? what can i do i want to update my contacts and save them

    itunes could not back up the iphone becasue the backup was corrupt or not compatiable with the iphone...
    what do i do please

    I have a free app called MCBackup that creates a file that you can email yourself and it consists of a complete list of the contacts.  Good way to back them up and keep a copy from time to time. There is anothe app called TTvCard that does the same thing.  You might be able to open the email on the Samsung and have the contacts appear on the Samsung phone
    This might help with the google thing you mentioned http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
    If you google transfer iphone contacts to Samsung (then model number) you might find something useful
