We're sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time iphone 3gs
i updated my iPhone 3gs to latest iOS 6.0.1 from iOS 4.1 but i'm stuck on Activation. and then i found a solution i deleted lockdown folder from root/var/root/library now my iPhone is not showing activation screen but when i connect my iPhone to my iTunes it gives me an Error "we're sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time".
Where, exactly, did you get the phone?
The term "factory unlocked" has no meaning. Apple does not use that term anywhere. iPhones are either locked, unlocked (either purchased directly from Apple or in a country where all iPhones are unlocked) or unlocked by the original carrier.
If you purchased a "factory unlocked" phone from an unauthorized source, or you went to a shop or a web site and had it "factory unlocked", it was hacked. Not legitimately unlocked.

I tried to restore, update and back up my ipod touch. once it said it was successful i clicked on the label of my ipod in itunes and it had written, "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." now whenever i click on the label it just says that and on my ipod it tells me to plug into itunes when it already is. i didnt update restore or back it up with the latest version, so i downloaded the latest version, how do i start the process again so my ipod works!! help this is gay !!
Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea. -

We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or cIf the iPhone was hacked and unlocked via unofficial means, it has become locked again. Insert original SIM in the phone to activate with iTunes.

when i try to activate itunes on my iphone it continues to say "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." and now my phone has stuck. what happened?
Hello mzpartia,
I found an article from Apple that specifically outlines how to try and troubleshoot this issue. It's called iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424.
Resolution
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi 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 Applefor assistance.
Take care,

I can't sync music to my iphone. It just says "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time."
I am in exactly the same problem here as this person. Exactly the same problem.
No, it was not jailbroken. And now because it's in this loop, there's no ability to restore and such on itunes as the only option now is ever 'eject'. -
I have ipad 2
Win I tray to upgrade to iso6 it gave me this massage after finish
we're sorry we are unable to continue with your activation ay this time
customer care
so what I can doIf you don't know exactly where it came from, then odds are you have a hacked, gray market phone.
Call AppleCare and give them the serial number. They should be able to tell you if it's carrier locked in their database. If it is, the only hope of it ever working again would be to get the original carrier to authorize unlocking it. If they won't, it's a brick. Even if they do, there's a chance it may never activate properly again because of the hack. -
Now update ios 6.1 through itunes, but it is not activating
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.This frequently occurs when the phone has been hacked or jailbroken. Was your phone jailbroken before trying to update? If so you'll have to go elsewhere for assistance because the terms of Use for this forum prohibit discussing support for jailbroken phones.

Trying to sync an old iPhone to iTunes and error message in iTunes appears: "We are sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time" so unable to sync.
How long has this been going on?
If more than 48 hours, then try a different computer. -
"We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"
I bought a new iPhone 4s from a electronics shop here in Norway today with a norwegian network. When I tried to activate my iPhone, I got this message:
"We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"
I also tried to activate the iPhone from the phone itself, but it gets stuck when I try to type in the PIN-code and tells me that I have to write in the PUK-code, even though I haven't typed in the wrong PIN-code. I've tried to hard reset the phone, reboot the computer and turn off the firewall, but nothing worked.
Could this have anything to do with the fact that I've changed network provider, and it's going to take about 10 days for the new SIM-card to work?Hope you already found a solution, if not try this:

Ask the person who owns the iPhone.
Which version of Cydia appears on the iPhone - the one
with the black and white icon or a different one?
If it was jailbroken, contact the developers of the jailbreak.
Not all jailbreaks can be completely removed.
Google may provide some direction. -
