Could not complete the itunes store request. The store may be busy. Try again later. This is the message I have been getting for 2 days now trying to activate my Asurion refurbished iphone 4s. A replacement they just sent me because I dropped my original iphone 4s and shattered the screen. I use Verizon and tried activating it through their website using the MEID # to no avail either.
when I turn on my iPhone 3g then there is no network-flight mode, but when I do clean it and then turn back to 0 is invalid because my iPhone has no sim card simlock
I need help, my iphone won't activate under any wifi or itunes, I believe I licked the iphone after updating it. I didn't know at the time I couldn't update a unlocked phone
So just bought a secondhand iphone 4s and I bought it through paypal but I need to activate it through my carrier. Thing is I put a new sim card in it and it wont activate. ITunes even says that I cant activate it through that. I need it asap my old phone is dying. also I have emailed the seller about this.
I just reset my phone back to its original settings. I cannot now reactivate it. It keeps telling me that I cannot use thhe appleID that I am signing on with. This is my apple ID that I have always used.
So my iphone 3g 8gb is having wifi problems, and I wanna take it to the apple store to get it fixed/replaced. The problem is, I am NOT on att, but t-mobile. So how would I show the Apple Geniuses my wifi problem without having my iphone jailbroken/unlocked. Since I am not on att, I cannot restore and activate the phone without jailbreaking it. How would I show them my wifi problem if all I have is the "Connect to iTunes to activate" screen? Or should I just take it in "hacktivated"/jailbroken?
as the title says agter i updated my iphone 3gs to the latest software through itunes, my phone reset to complete update and when my phone came back on it can't find a signal and is unable to activate and itunes says the phone doesn't have a sim in it
My mum bought me an Iphone 4S in duty free in South Korea airport, she was told it was unlocked, however, when I tried to activate it with my Kazakhstan sim card, it said that I had to use sim card of certain providers. I've checked the model's number in the Internet (MD237C/A), and from what I've learnt my Iphone is supposed to be unlocked.
I'll probably be in line to pick up my reservation at 7, but will probably need to be to work no later than 8. Can I just pay for it and leave or do I have to wait for them to activate it?
I'm giving my iPhone 3GS to a friend who currently is with ATT using another smartphone with a data plan. We popped his SIM into my iPhone abs it worked for calls but not data. What procedure with ATT does he need to do to get it fully functional?
Can I activate my iPhone without a SIM? I want to get the IMEI number off the phone and order a free bumper using the app. The plan is to order the bumper, register the IMEI number with the insurance company and take my current phone away with me, that way, when I return everything is ready to go.
I have an iPhone 4S running with iOS 5.1. I bought it in the Apple online store. I'm using a Canadian Rogers SIM card in Canada, which works well with other iPhones. When I try to actiavte my phone with it it says: SIM not valid, Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone... My iPhone is definitly factory unlocked and my SIM card is prepaid.

Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support "
I have 4.3.3 iPhone 3GS that I just restored to 5.1. It all worked good except for when I go to activate it. It says that the activation servers are down. I've tried a bunch of sim cards with no luck. Are the activation servers actually down or do I need to do a DFU restore?
I recieved a used iPhone 3G for my birthday in December, and today I tried to update to iOS 5.1. Everything on iTunes went smoothly, but when I tried to re-activate my phone, I get the message ''Could not activate iPhone. Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your phone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.''
So I waited for a few minutes and then tried again, after a few minutes, I got the exact same result. So i plugged my iPhone into iTunes and it told me there was no SIM card in my phone, but yes, there was a sim card in it. As far as I know my phone has been unlocked, but I read a lot of things about factory unlocks. If my phone was factory unlocked, how do I find out the original carrier?
I have a iphone 3G, was on a carrier no longer, Using it as iPod. Was working, installed iOS 5.1 update and it tries to activate but complaims about no SIM. As far as I know it was not jail broken before.
just had a new battery fitted to my iphone 4 and it has stopped working again so i opened it up to see the battery and had a look but could see no damage so put it on mains charger and it tells me to activate the iphone so i pulg it in to my laptop and nothing happens it just displays the apple logo over and over again
I recently bought a 2nd hand iPhone 3gs, updated it to the latest software but unbeknown to me, the guy I bought the iPhone from lied and said it was 02 when it was Vodaphone. I got it permantly unlocked to faciliate my 02 sim but I cannot activate it as it repeatedly says the servers are unavailable. It has been saying this for 2 weeks now.
I just updated my 3GS to 5.1.1, but now my phone will not activate. I am going nuts because of this and how careless apple is with their older generation softwares.
