As I see it, iTunes tries to send an activation request once per minute...That means we are probably in for a long long wait...I wonder why I upgraded my iPhone (it had the leaked firmware...)
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases Official iPhone 2.0 Firmware

been stuck at accessing iTunes store for about 55 min. Its pretty clear now that Apple was in no way prepared for this update.
Are there any reports of this "Accessing iTunes Store..." activation issue at any Apple or AT&T retail stores? If we can't get in, they shouldn't be able to either. So, that should be causing a lot of backups in the lines on the East coast and in the Central timezone (US), right???
Also stuck on the 'Accessing iTunes Store...' while updating my first gen iPhone. Oh well, I'm not surprised. 2.0 firmware for 1st gen iPhone/iPod touch+new 3G iPhones=magic blue smoke coming out of Itunes' servers.
I'm going to leave it running. Going to bed since I've been at work all night. Hopefully I will awake to a bright eyed and bushy tailed iPhone.

Maybe there just are too many of us trying this all at once??? I think we're overloading the system!!!!!
Theres a post on apples forum saying there servers have shut down and there working on getting them back up. Be patient everyone, it'l be worth it when ya get it
Can you link us please?
i don't have any issues messing around the itunes store, my download of 2.0 is still occuring though, so we'll see once it gets there. Only 10 more minutes WOOOO HOOO
No offense, but jesus you guys-- get a life. It's all good though... I'll be waiting a few days to make sure 2.0 has no bugs or anything.
Well, I got it downloaded and installed but I'm having the problem where it cannot connect to the iTunes store (connection timed out). No doubt due to the excessive server traffic. So, my phone is dead for now, hopefully it will come to life sometime today
just a little patience .... there, that's better !!
Excellent observation. Gee... ya wonder, with like a gazillion iPhones being activated today, and the ba-jillion previous iPhones being updated, not to mention... a couple dozen iTouches being updated too, that there would be a bit of a bottle neck or some hiccups along the way.
It's all a matter of having some patience... a day of two from now, everyone will have their updates, and then there will be all kinds of other things about the iPhone / Apps Store experience to complain about... just wait & see....
So, alot of you are stuck trying to Accesses iTunes Store huh.

Change your time zone!
I am in california--I tried repeatedly to download the 2.0 software...I changed my time zone, and turned off "Set date & time automatically" (not sure if this was needed) and the iPhone 2.0 Software became available immediately. I quit iTunes during this process too.
Others waiting, please try, and let me know if it works for you too.

mine took less than 10 minutes to prepare...but overall, including download, I'm not at 25 minutes and counting. The last 10 plus at 'accessing iTunes Store'
sure hope this finishes before I have to take off for work!!!
I've been at the "Accessing iTunes Store..." for about 40 minutes now, so get ready for a long wait.
