upgrading to ios 7, cannot connect to apple store to activate iphone

It's usual when ever apple releases a new update of this massive, You just need to wait till the load on the servers decreases.

same here, now i got an useless brick until this is fixed 😠

Same problem on my iPad 2.. looks like it's not just iPhone that is facing this problem.

any idea when would this be fixed?

ok folks.. it fixed by itself.. i was able to activate my iPad afterall.. 😁

This is crap, my iphone 5 updated and then I tried my ipad 2. Crash and burn. Put some money into your servers apple you have the money.

same problem with my ipod touch 5. I'm so ****** off right now. they made me restore my ipod and now I can't "activate" it because "the server cannot be reached." uggghhhh

Same problem here. iPhone 4. MacBook Air. Probably just Apple's servers. Phone is stuck in iOS 7 setup mode

True, you would think Apple would learn. Every year it seems to get worse.

Apple need to invest in more robust servers, or release the update at different times for different devices.

Same problem with my iphone 5 - win 8 -itunes 11.1..

this is horable..

Same problem, please fix it!!!

Try this, it worked for me: unplug your iphone from pc and just try to activate via your wifi .....i tried 3 or 4 times until finally did it..hope this works....cheers

Fianlly after an hour or so - the phone i 5 is activated. Now onto restore from backup!

To hard reset hold top power button and center button at bottom of front of iPad at same time till apple symbol shows. Then let go of buttons and let iPad load. That is a hard reset

THIS WORKED FOR ME...... THANKS SO MUCH TECHSUPPORT GUY! 🙂 NOW I AM READY TO GO!
