Do not use iOS 7. Attempting to install iOS 7 will cause your phone to require a factory reset, thus wiping all your data from the device. Save your data, do not attempt to install the new iOS 7.
Same problem with my two iphones, one 4 and one 5 after restore my iOS devices installing 7, none of them active! 2 hours ago I'm with this problem with my two iphones locked.
Disappointing!
iPhone 4 (unlocked) Brazil
iPhone 5 (unlocked) Brazil
Well that's late info now my phone is forever stuck at the itunes plugin screen..
REALLY???
same with me i am tired of this i resetted everythign so i could have space for ios 7 and its trying to activate
Endless countless millions and millions of people are trying to authenticate AFTER downloading the new IOS.
Download servers and Authentication / Activation servers are slammed right now.
Give it some time.
download servers VS. authentication servers 😍
How long did it eventually take you to complete the entire process?
Here you go...
I would say that admitting your activation servers are overwhelmed shouldn't be a harder pill for Apple to swallow than any other service outage they track and report so as to not waste their customer's time wondering if a problem is due to capacity or infrastructure constraints.
after waiting 2 hours it finally went through, be patient
Just power the phone off and restarted. I finally am able to configure my iphone.

I can turn my phone off.. its literally stuck on the plug in screen.😢
Okay, how did you find out the system status?! I just want to see when I'll be able to have my phone back. ):
Because I've been waiting for 3 hours now. ):
I was able to do my iPhone 5 earlier today with no problems at all, but my iPad Mini is stuck at the Hello screen and its been over 2hrs now!
I think my problem is the activation server being slammed, am i correct? And i should leave it alone overnight and it should connect to the activation server eventually?
