When updating to iOS 7, my iPhone says Could Not Activate iPhone?
I have an iPhone 4s that is not activated; I used to have Sprint, but my service was shut off. I can still use it when I have access to Wi-Fi. I just updated to iOS 7 and was going through setting my phone up. When i got to the step saying "It may take a few minutes to update your iPhone". After waiting, my phone said "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server can't be reached. 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 connected my phone to iTunes to retry activation and searched on Apple Support, but could not find out what was wrong or something I could do. Does this mean I can't use my iPhone with iOS 7 if I do not have an activated iPhone? If so, is there anyway to change back to iOS 6 or get out of the set up screen?
Seriously, you might want to hold off on updating for a couple of days. The servers are overloaded.
All my friends are saying they've got connection problems too. The servers must be flooded with requests from too many eager Apple users trying to update.
I'm guessing that's what's happening.
I have the same problem right now and i really don't know what to do!
I'm gettin d same prob. For how long will we have to wait!
I had the same problem for the last few hours. After what seemed like a hundred retries it finally activated and away we go on IOS7. I guess its just because Apples servers are overloaded.
- Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
- Snapchat says Could Not Connect? So i've been using snapchat for a while now and then 2 days ago it was working fine then it started to tweak on me e.e I couldn't open snaps, send snaps, refresh snaps, nothing and i tried to log out and log back in but it always says Could Not Connect Please check your connection and try again. And I tried rebooting my iPhone and turn it off and on and delete app and get it back so many ways for 2 days e.e why does this happen?
- My iphone says i'm connected to Wi-Fi but when i try to run something it says i'm not connected? My phone shows signal, it has a check mark by the device but when i try to open an app it says can't find a connection.
- IPhone 6 issue Could not activate cellular data network? I have a new iPhone 6, coming from an iPhone 4s. I have AT&T btw. In the top left it shows i have bars, and then the LTE or 4G symbol shows up, but when I try to use safari or anything web-based it says I'm not subscribed to a cellular data service, or "could not activate cellular data network". It works fine on Wi-Fi, but why won't it work on LTE or 4G.
