iPhone 6 s could not be activated

Hello

I recently bought an iPhone 6s off of ebay. Like new condition sprint phone unlocked. Only problem is, when I turn it on and put in all my info, it takes me to an error saying:

"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."

I have connected to iTunes, restarted the phone, wait an hour and still does not. I set up an appointment with the genius bar this Friday, but I wonder if they would replace the phone if they can't fix it, or if I would be just wasting my time.

There is not another email in there that look like m***@disney.com?

If this isn't the case then it could be a genuine mistake and I hope that the Genius Bar should be able to fix it for you

Prior email would mean that the phone is locked activation iCloud and cannot be used without the consent and assistance of the previous owner

  • 9.3 your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.

    Downloaded the new software 9.3 on IPhone without a problem, for IPad 2, it says: your IPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.

    Tells me to connect to ITunes to activate, when I do that, it says Apple does not recognize the device. This has happened for hours. Any clue whats going on?

    It is more likely to occur when a major update of iOS was recently released, because so many people seek to activate at the time, and sometimes the Apple servers get overloaded. Try again in a few moments, and maybe a reboot of the strength of your iPad.

    To force the reboot:

    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple start-up logo appears.

  • Wireless network adapter could not be activated

    My laptop also did EXACTLY the same thing in the morning today.
    No effect with the wireless on switch on the computer. The light is always red. Last night an automatic update that happened (update for windows Vista (KB955430) 09/05/2009 09:03), which cannot be deleted. I don't know if this problem is related with the update.

    My laptop is HP Pavilion dv6439nr.  Running Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 1).  Wireless adapter is "broadcom wireless 802.11 b/g WLAN PCI" that is gone now.
    Windows network diagnostics shows "this computer doesn't have a card installed and configured wireless network."
    HP Home Network Center shows "Wireless status: disabled; When I try to enable wireless LAN, it shows "wireless network adapter could not be activated.
    I tried to scan and reinstall the driver but the device does not appear.
    The wireless router works fine with other laptops.
    If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Alboury,
    It seems at this point that your wireless network adapter has a hardware problem.  Check out this troubleshooting guide step by step on the HP Pavilion support web site.  If you can't get your active wireless card, you will need to contact HP or repair HP authorized repair for hardware Center.

  • BitLocker could not be activated (with or without TPM)

    Hello
    I am evaluating the RTM of Windows 8 Enterprise of 90 days and you want to activate the full disk encryption. Unfortunately, Windows won't let me. I have a Dell D630 with integrated TPM v1.2 chip. At the start of the verification of the system (just before the start of the encryption process), I get the following error message:

    BitLocker could not be activated

    The Bitlocker encryption key could not be obtained. Ensure that the TPM Module (TPM) is on and ownership has been taken. If this computer doesn't have a TPM, check that the USB is inserted and available.
    C: is not encrypted.

    I had a peek in tpm.msc and status displays "the TPM module is ready for use. While searching for a solution in the web, I met several tpm.msc screenshots where the State had "TPM is ready for use and rights of ownership of the TPM secure was taken." Well this is rather well the error in the first place.
    TechNet has even distinguish the online instructions on taking possession of your TPM. Apparently, I need to initialize TPM according to the instructions. The problem is, I don't even have an option to boot available in the action menu on the right of tpm.msc.
    Well - I thought - if TPM behaves badly then just turn off and follow these Technet instructions on how to enable Bitlocker without TPM with the help of a USB key to decrypt the PC at startup...
    No luck either... after the system check, I met the same error message. Can anyone enlighten me on what I am doing wrong please?
    Cheers, Marcel
    P.S.:
    TPM is enabled in the BIOS
    BIOS is up to date
    Windows driver and TPM is up-to-date
    I have no problem of booting from USB (in fact I installed Windows like that)

  • Help. I could not find activation key for MS7 so bought the new version, but cannot install the new version as system thinks old version it

    How to uninstall and reinstall, or fix this problem.  I hope I didn't just buy new software I can't use :)  Thank you.

    Is identical to the old version new version, which means, are of the same edition?

    For example, is a copy of Windows 7 installed on Windows 7 Home Premium machine in addition to the new copy you purchased?

    Because, if they are, simply update the product key:

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click on the link 'change product key '.

    Enter the product key

    Click next to activate via the Internet.

    If they are not the same, then you will need to do a custom installation, with the following exception.

    If the new edition is greater than the current edition installed, then you can use the product key and upgrade to the new copy you purchased.

    It should be higher if Starter > Home Basic > Home Premium > Professional > ultimate.

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

An error has occurred.

    What should I do now? Virgin are unable to solve the problem.

    Why is it so difficult for an individual to set up the phone? Can someone help me solve the problem. Thank you
