TS1538 I keep getting activation server unavailable. try again
I updated my software. Somewhere things went wrong. If i turn on my phone i am asked to activate it. When i try this it fails and i get message saying activation server is unavailable. Please try again. Have tried to re set phone thru itunes but i end up with the same message. Can anybody help please.Simon
This is a sign that your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken. You need a sim from the original carrier the iPhone is locked to, to activate.

HT4061 trying to restore a 3gs. keep getting 'activation server is temporarily un available'
trying to restore a 3gs. keep getting 'activation server is temporarily un available'
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier? -
I can't access iCloud, i keep getting a message to try again later. This is the first time i have tried to log into icloud. I know my account is working, i want to access it from my macbook.

when trying to connect airport express keep getting unexpected error please try again. IVE TRIED A HUNDRED TIMES AND HAVE FOUND SUPPORT PAGES UNHELPFUL
Have you tried using a WEP password for your wireless network instead of a WPA one? That fixed it for me.

I bought mountain lion, made a bootable flash drive.
I booted from it and it went to upgrading right away!
So I stopped it and went to my former recovery partition I erased my HD because I wanted a clean start.
Now I can't instal mountain lion from the bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."
and there is no 4 choices window.
I don't know what to do.How did you create the USB install thumb drive? If it was with Disk Utility I have run into this problem and have since used THIS program to make the USB install drive.
As to your problem you only have one option and that is to Reinstall the Original OS X version that came on your computer or if you still have the Lion Recovery Partition use that to reinstall Lion. Or if you system came with Lion and you have No Lion Recovery HD Partition you can boot the system from over the internet and Reinstall Lion.
At startup hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you saa a spinning Globe in the center of the screen. Once that loads Repartition the drive as One partition and then reinstall Lion. -

As above really, keep getting activation server unavailable, after trying to activate my phone after a restore
I do have a SIM card installed, albeit it says invalid sim.and this was my reason for a restore.
My sim is the same sim I have had since I bought the phone new, it has never been removed and the phone is not jail broken.
Still cannot activate due to server not available! -

i cannot activate my iphone im getting message server unavailable... when i try to activate with i tunes it says there is no sim
This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

I have a factory unlocked Iphone 4S, it worked fine but it was often lossing signal and going into search, I decided to restore, but now can not activate it, a message can not be activated because the server is temporary unavailable try again later, I have tried this for 3 days, any suggestions?
yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries -
How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"
THANKS! this worked !!!
I hit "DELETE THIS ACCOUNT" on my iphone (this is the Yahoo I tried to set up by "picking" it from the list that the iphone5 gives you) and then confirmed to delete everything.
THEN: while in Mail (still in the Settings Section) I tapped on "ADD ACCOUNT..." but this time tapped on "OTHER" and manually put in my yahoo ID and password and I did not even have to go to the SMTP or IMAP incomming/outgoing stuff at all. But I checked it out under the "ADVANCE" tab and it was already correct for yahoo. (ALMOST SEEMED TOO EASY)
Went to my home screen and tapped on MAIL and my yahoo email loaded up just right!
Now, I have no idea if I have any other issues like if I delete mail on the iphone; does it delete properly on my ipad...etc..etc. but one problem at a time is getting fixed. THANKS!
