Unable to activate after reset

I went to reset my phone, when I did this, it took me through the steps to activate the phone, but was unable to do so.I keep getting a message saying - could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Have been trying to acivate the phone for more than 9 hours.Getting really frustrated. Anyone suggestions?

Go to your service provider and see if they can't get it activated for you. If that doesn't work, it may be that the servers are overloaded and you'll have to wait it out.

  • Unable to activate after updating to iOS 6

    The iphone 3GS is unable to activate after updating to iOS 6 i'm connecting it to iTunes but it says there is no SIM card which there is plz help

    connect phone to iTunes, click OK on any of the error boxes that come up.  Then with your iphone still connected to iTunes, hold down the home button and press the lock button and count to ten, then let your finger off the lock button whilst keeping your other finger on the home button for a further 10 seconds.  Your phone will then go into restore mode, a message should then pop up on iTunes asking if you want to restore and update - click yes.  I followed the procedures and my phone is now running perfect with ios 6.0.

    Your iPhone was "unofficially" unlocked by some means to work with a different carrier. Now that you have updated it has relocked to the original carrier. If you do not know who the original carrier was you will need to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone. Then you will need to contact that carrier to see if they have a process to unlock the phone and if you qualify.

  • Extending wireless network w/ TimeCapsule: Unable to find after resetting

    Hi all!
    I have found several topics about similar problems, but there wasn't any solution to my problem.
    _Here is, actually, my situation:_
    1. I have a wireless router that's connected through Ethernet to my provider. To connect to the internet I must use VPN, and router must be VPN-Pass-Through-capable. So I can't simply use TimeCapsule instead of my current router.
    2. I have a TimeCapsule and want it to use for a printer sharing and as a wireless 500GB HDD.
    So, in my opinion (I may be wrong), i should extend my currently wireless network with the TimeCapsule. But after I configure TimeCapsule through AirPort Utility, it says that it will restart TimeCapsule to update configuration. And after resetting Utility "*is unable to find*" my TimeCapsule. I've tried several hard-resets and re-configartions, but had no luck.
    What should I do, to make TimeCapsule working as I told in p.2?
    Thanks in advance!

  • HT201407 unable to activate after restore and update

    I decided to update the iOS on my wife's 3GS phone but was unable to activate the phone again afterward. This phone was originally locked to a French provider FSR and the phone still thinks it is associated with that provider somehow. Contacted Apple support and have restored the phone but still no luck on activation. Ran out of time to deal with this yesterday so I am back again now looking for a solution. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    The message I receive is "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." "Please try again later or contact customer care"

    iPhones require a SIM for activation.
    If the device still will not activate, this is typically the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.  If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • Can't get iMessage to activate after resetting my Apple ID password.

    After having trouble signing into iMessage on Mountain Lion on my Mac Mini, it was suggested to reset my Apple ID password. After doing that, I re-entered my password everywhere on my iPhone. But now, my iMessage and Facetime on the phone won't activate. It stays on "Waiting for Activation" for about half a day and then says that activation was not successful.
    I went through all the other related threads, and check Settings > Phone to make sure my number is showing, I fiddled with the Date and Time settings. I even updated to iOS 6.0.1. Nothing seems to work, and I genuinely don't want to reset my phone. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

    I deactivated iMessage on my mac completely and retried and still have the same problem. I then decided to place the phone in DFU mode and restore iOS 6.0.1 from the IPSW. After restoring from iCloud, iMessage is still stuck on "Waiting for Activation"
    I did find something interesting though. I opened Xcode > Organizer and viewed the phone's console. When switching iMessage on, the following is displayed in the log:
    accountsd[103] <Notice>: 2012-12-04 00:26:14.404 accountsd[4871]: imagent (43) is trying to verify account credentials for account: (null)

  • HT201407 iPhone unable to activate after restore

    Hi,
    I have just restored my old iPhone 3GS 8GB (without a sim card in it) as I was going to sell it. However after restoring it via iTunes a message appears "we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care"
    I have tried it several times but get the same message, any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Windows XP unable to authenticate after reset win password

    When our users reset their windows password , next time they open the intranet page, IE starts prompting for username and password. 
    Previsouly IE was set to automatic authenticate with logged in user.
    after all the trouble shooting , only fix I can come up with is, rename the windows user profile and let windows create a new one. 
    what do you guys and gals think? Have you ever seen such a thing? 
    thanks in advance. 

    What about deleting everything from IE ? Saved password, cache, history etc

  • Unable to activate after lock out

    I am locked out of my 3 year-old iPad having forgotten my original IDs for Apple, @me and iCloud. (I don't use @me or iCloud on iPad; need Apple ID for iTunes on Macbook and iPhone.) I have restarted the iPad but cannot activate it because I do not have these original IDs. Any ideas out there?

    Go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve the ID that you need, then follow the instructions to change the passcode. If you cannot remember the answers to the Security Questions, you will have to contact Apple Support to reset them:

  • Unable to activate after upgrade

    I'm trying to re-activate my phone after upgrading to 1.1.1, and iTunes is giving me a "Cannot complete your iTunes Store request. The store may be busy," but the regular iTunes store is working fine.
    Is the activation server down right now?

    There's obviously a problem with the activation servers. Although AT&T doesn't know of any issues (and told me to contact Apple), I am now no longer getting the error, but it's been attempting to access the store now for about 5 minutes.

  • TS3274 IPAD wont activate after resetting to startup screen

    A couple of nights ago, my iPad3 reset itself to the signing screen - and starting cycling through the activation process.  I can't get it to activate now...and itunes won't complete activation when hooked up by USB - any suggestions?

    Try resetting your iPad.
    Do you have an iPad Wi-Fi + 3G? Make sure it has access to the Internet through your computer, a Wi-Fi or cellular data network.

  • New iPad won't activate after resetting

    iPad won't activate thru iTunes after erasing all content and settings. iPad is back at the Welcome screen like when it was new, but go thru iTunes to set it up and no activation.

    Can't activate by signing in.
    I can't even get to that point. After I enter a wifi password the iPad goes to activate and that's where everything stops with: Can not activate a this time. Please try again later. I've tried a million and 6 times, there is no later...
    Also noticed that the serial# listed for the iPad in iTunes is N/A. After a few minutes of trying it gives me the above message. It also shows a lock near the message in iTunes. This shows that somehow the iPad is still locked after I erased all data and wanted to completely start from scratch?
