Who's having iOS 7 activation problems?

[Just_Me_D]

Are you among the many people who are seeing the following message after installing iOS 7?

Your iPhone could not be activated
because the activation server cannot be
reached. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a
couple of minutes.

Let's hear about, if you are.

I caved and updated LOL. And yes, I am getting the same error. I keep hitting "Try Again" but I'm assuming it's due to Apple's servers being super busy today...

I am having the same issue with both itunes and my iphone 5 after updating to iOS 7. I took a break from studying for an hour to do this and now my phone is not working. That's the price one pays to be on the cutting edge. Hopefully it is resolved for everyone but people try to remember the strain on the Apple's servers today and perhaps not get too heated over some minor issues here and there. Be thankful we have this opportunity that many others in this world do not! Stay safe everyone and enjoy the rest of your days!

I suppose it goes to show how many people are interested in having iOS 7 on their beloved devices, huh? Well, continue to be patient and I'm sure it'll clear up soon enough....

Re: OS 7 Update

Mine downloaded and installed but I got to a setup screen that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached."

My update went smoothly, now a friend trying to update is getting that message...........

Here.

I'm alternately trying iTunes or WiFi but getting nowhere on either one. Keep trying....

That is the absolute truth. I even had my phone jailbroken to the teeth and I could not wait for this update to land. Recently I made some living changing decisions that has made me a little more livelier and iOS 7 is the perfect compliment to this new outlook on life. Before my background was dark theme and blah, where as my new one with iOS 7 will be colorful and positive. The biggest selling point for me is native cards multitasking UI that is sure to be smoother than the jailbroken one that I had. I have lamented for WebOS cards multitasking to come to iOS since palm was gutted and tossed to the wolves. Now I have the best of both worlds, the phone aspect of my life is finally at peace.

Installed & activated fine. Screwed something up so I reset. Now I can't activate and being on call makes it so I am stuck at home instead of going to the gym like I planned on.

 

[Good OL MC]

Same here! Interested to know what carriers everyone is on.

I'm on Sprint.

 

[smccloud]

Verizon,
WiFi, iTunes & 3G are all failing

 

[stoneland]

I'm on AT&T BUT I made the "mistake" of getting on wifi and I can't get off it to activate. I feel like if I were on the cellular network it would've worked fine...

 

[mamutarka]

I am so stupid, I installed iOS 7 OTA, and then i went to iTunes and did restore, because I want it to be like fresh new. and now activation issues..

I am so stupid. should have left OTA and gg.

Yeah, not likely

Now getting the following.

 

[Rhiannon10]

My friend's finally verified and is rebooting!

 

[mamutarka]

amagad, what the hell he did

 

[smccloud]

Finally re-activated. So far I cannot download much due to the servers being overloaded but oh well. On the plus side, I got rid of a lot of stuff I don't use anymore.

 

[mamutarka]

I can activate pressing on ''iPhone'' in iTunes and pressing ''try again'' on iPhone, what worked for you?
