4 possible causes for that error message:


1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, and of short duration when it

does happen. Solution - try again.

2] Your firewall and/or antivirus software are preventing the necessary connection. Solution -

temporarily disable your firewall and/or antivirus software until the activation completes.



3] computer being used for activation has been used to jailbreak an iOS device in the past.

Solution - use a different computer.

4] iPhonehas been jailbroken. Google may provide some direction, but jailbreaks often prevent

updates from succeeding. Per Terms of Use for this forum, discussion of jailbroken iPhones is

prohibited.


You probably should return the iPhone to the seller for a refund and buy your next iPhone directly

from Apple or an Apple authorized iPhone retailer to avoid such problems.
