Your IPad could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable
Hello!
I bought a used Ipad model A1397. Connected it to Itunes and upgraded to 6.1.3.
After that, I can not activate it because it is constantly writes:
"Your IPad could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting IPad to iTunes to activate, or try again in a few minutes." using WiFi and Itunes. The process of restoring the firmware also did not help ...
PS Sorry for my bad English!

People in Asia reported this 13 hours ago (http://www.sophos.com/ja-jp/support/knowledgebase/119235.aspx) and people in Europe have been tweeting about it for a few hours.

My IPAD2 saids that it can not activate because the activation server is down. What does this mean.
It was bought from an second hand shop, called cash conventors, which you give your old electricals in and you get money for it, then they put those electricals for sale and i bought this iphone that way
It was working fine before but i couldnt call people as it said "call failed" and then there was a call back option which leads you to the home screen !
I have restored my iphone and now it says :
the iphone could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Please connect to itunes to activate it or try again in a few minutes.
iTunes says: There is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are trying to activate. Please disconnect and insert a sim card in the iPhone.
There already is a valid simcard in the iPhone though!!!!!!!!!!!! -

Apple's iPhone Activation Servers Experiencing Extended Outage
Thursday July 25, 2013 8:59 am PDT by Eric Slivka
While Apple is still working to bring its developer site back up a week after taken offline due to a security breach, the company appears to be experiencing another problem with its systems today, as a number of MacRumors have reported they are unable to activate their new iPhones. Other reports are showing up on Twitter as the problems continue.
According to one tipster who called Apple about the problem, the company's activation servers are currently down. Another AT&T employee has told MacRumors that AT&T has also confirmed the outage, and posts in Apple's discussion forum offer similar information.
Reports of problems began surfacing nearly three hours ago, and there is no word yet on when users can expect the issue to be fully resolved. -

Hello
My ipad gone crazy a few days ago. It is always trying to activate itself. The first message that appeared was "Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". I' was able to restore the iPad and backup it but iTunes does not recognize it anymore. I've tried to connect to iTunes using my Macbook and iMac. All my software is up to date.I've contacted for technical asistance and they said they could do nothing to repair it . I can not believe that there's nothing Apple can do. Could you please help me? -

nothing i can do to it
looked on forums, can't get to anything (flight mode, etc, etc)This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
If this is the case... Then...

HT201407 Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable
sir I had IOS 7 beta version and it was working properly, after the launch of official IOS 7 I got "Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable" . I can't access to my device or even back it up or restore it!!! can you help me please
The iOS 7 beta has expired. Since you had it, you were obviously a developer.
You need to log on to the Developer Forum with your developer credentials, where you will find information on how to reactivate your phone.
Discussion of beta software is prohiibited on this general forum.
Best,

I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
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 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 have a brand new iPhone 5 64gb, and I'm trying to activate it. But when I connect either to WiFi or iTunes via PC, i get the following message:
'Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable'
Any idea what the problem could be? The phone was purchased from someone who received the phone as an upgrade.
When a sim is entered it shows 'Searching...' but doesn't show 'No SIM' or 'No Service'Generally a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to work with other than the original wireless carrier and
an upgrade or restore has relocked the iPhone to the original carrier.
You will need to contact that original carrier to see if they offer
unlocking and if you qualify.
Best advice - return the iPhone to whoever sold it to you, get your
money back, and purchase a truly new iPhone from Apple or an
Apple authorized reseller in your location. -

I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says " Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS to IOS6. Help anyone?
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 -

I just did a DFU restore and tried to activate the new phone again over WiFi and it's worked now.
To be completely sure whether it was the DFU restore or not I've just tried to activate the old phone (also a 4S, exactly the same model) whilst plugged into iTunes.
That failed.
So I tried again with the old non-DFU'd 4S over WiFi without the cable (to remove itunes/computer/internal networking from the equation) and that also failed.
I'd say it's fair to assume that the DFU at least helped in this case - I also noticed that the graphics when you're selecting the language/location were slightly different (showed a world map) after the DFU. -
