You should wait a little bit. The servers are probably overloaded with everyone downloading iOS 7 today.

what's wrong with the activation server? i just bought my ipad wifi celllular... and have a 3g cellular network connection... when i press the bottom to activate my ipad it says the activation server cannot be reached. what to do then?
Hey aries35,
I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
Perform the following steps:
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.

I updated my ipod and now it says my ipod can't be activated because activation server cannot be reached. How do I get it back on track?
Hello,
Try reseting your device.
Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off, then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
I just refreshed your post, so if this does not help you, it is now at the top of the list for a short while, other people should be able to try and help you.

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. -

Ask someone who does have a computer running iTunes for help.
Take your iPad to an Apple Store and ask them for help. -

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. -
Can't activate iPad mini. Says 'activation server cannot be reached'
I can't activate my iPad mini. It says 'activation server cannot be reached'
Exactly the same with me.
I have just moved to apple from blackberry today.
I can honestly say my £100 playbook can connect to wifi and i can surf away with no activations etc etc
My Brand new out of the box today ipad mini is unable to do diddle as it is unable to connect to the activation server, oh yes thats a £450 ipad against a £100 playbook. Why am I unable to activate within 14 days for instance so at least I can be up and running
My iphone 4 that has been lent to me for my wife to use for a few weeks before we move networks and swap to iphone 5 has been updating now for 3 hours.......so she is having to wait for another day
So in short my apple experience so far has quite frankly been a LEMON -
