My iPhone 5 wont activate after installing iOS 7 on itunes, it keeps saying Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server could not be reached. it told me to come here! and i am really annoyed and worried.
iPhone 5, iOS 7, Vodafone UK
Apple's activation servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.
Ok thanks! i was really worried 🙂
This just happened to me, too! I'm freaking out! I was on iOS 7 beta, and I tried downgrading to iOS 6.1.4, but I realized that they probably stopped signing iOS 6 when they released iOS 7 today, so of course it's not going to work. So, I put my phone in DFU mode and restored, which put the official iOS 7 on it, but it still says cannot be activated! I hope it's just because the servers are busy! Let me know if you get it to work.
I will let you know when/if i get it working hopefully it is just the servers.I need my phone for tommorw so hopefully i can do it in the morning.
Same thing here. I was worried at first, but it may be servers busy.
If olny I could at least go to the springboard, but if the phone doesn't activate I can't get to the ios7 user interface.
😠😟😢
I know right! 😟
Right after I posted, the iphone activated! great, I am now restoring.
Try restarting your phone, then click "Install" in the Settings.
RESTART IT AND IT WORKS
JUST RESTART YOUR PHONE IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!
I restarted my phone multiple times...didn't work 😟
got it working
sorry to hear that maybe i just got lucky :\ anyway best of luck 🙂
Mine dose the same, but I have updated for 6.1.4 and still I am unable to activate my iphone, never used jailbrake or anything like that, pleaseeeee heeeeeellppppp
Millions of people around the world are trying to download a big piece of firmware at the same time. Patience. Try again later, or tomorrow.
I tried to download to my Mini and hit the overload roadblock. My phone is too critical to my life to chance it getting hung up. I have lived with 6.1.X for a year, so I think I can make it another day.
