Q: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."

hey one more thing... is it ok if im gonna use same apple id in different apple phones?

thank you! i didnt want to upset you earlier.... thank you so much for your time....

You have not upset me.  Good luck.

So I have the same problem. My phone was not jailbroken - valid purchase from a valid carrier. Been using me phone for at least 6mo. During latest OS update, I picked up some serious issues.

MAC OS X 10.6.8; Itunes 11.1.1

Finally figured the USB connection to my Mac is problematic. When I finally succeded in restoring my phone it gives me the above message.

What to do?
