When updating to iOS 5 everything went smooth until it got to the activation point. I heard that apples server took a hit but it actually installed ios5 and i get the welcome screen and I go through the setup of ios5. It then tells me that it must activate with iTunes and I have connected it to iTunes 10.5. When I connect it tells me that it cannot do the activation at this time and I have no other options to restore the phone manually or do anything else.

So I then have tried to boot up into DFU (restore mode) and now when I connect via iTunes I get a popup box that says it iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and I must restore. So I try to click OK on the popup box so I can do the restore but it will not let me get past the pop up box. I have clicked ok 1000 times and it wont let get me past it.
