Apple's activation servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.
ive been trying for the past hour. i dont think thats it since other people are installing fine
same problem here! do you think it has anything to do with unlocking my phone ?😕
I am having the same problem any solutions?
It is the traffic on the servers. Both the update and activation go through apple. well the activation server goes through apple first before your carrier. Just keep trying.
Authentication servers are ALSO slammed right now.
Give it some time. 😍
download servers VS. authentication servers 😉
Same here - Both OTA and iTunes not working for activating iPhone - Stating activation server cannot be reached
Come on apple, would have expected better than this for iOS Launch day!
WOOOHOOOOO apple must have listened - Activation successful and now just waiting to restore settings!!
been trying for over an hour with no luck :\
I am also facing same problem. After updating to ios 7, i tried to reset all settings and data so that i can get clean ios 7. However, it cannot activate it after that because activation server cannot be reached.
Did it update OTA or via iTunes?
OTA - Took a good hour from the update completing to the activation being successful.
Any luck Arram? I have been stuck on the white screen that says "It may take a few minutes to activate your iPhone." Then it fails with a message about the activation servers being down. Have not been able to activate my phone for over an hour. Connecting to iTunes has also been unsuccesful.
Im at the same spot as you. Guess i'll just have to keep trying :/
