stuck in emergency mode since upgrade

[KauaiBruce]

It appeared that my upgrade went fine but iTunes keeps trying to load the store (from the Device menu) and keeps saying

We could not complete your iTunes Store request. the network connection timed out.

Do I have to wait for AT&T to activate my phone? Am I being impatient? It has been 15 minutes since the update completed.

I've got exactly the same problem. I'm in the UK on o2.

 

[estee065]

me too, in Canada. Very frustrating

 

[alongcamejones]

Me Too!

Error-4 is stated- Completely stuck in Emergency Mode. What do i do?

 

[Dingo Dave 69]

Yup me too...o2 in the UK

 

[Defiant81]

I'm having the same exact problem. Phone is stuck in emergency mode...

 

[alongcamejones]

For the record, I'm in USA-Colorado. Version I iPhone.

 

[blinksumgreen]

I'm having the same problem. Is it possible the servers are just getting reamed right now?

California here, iPhone 3G, and I am having the same problem.

I ran the diagnostic in iTunes (Help>Run Diagnostics...) and there were no problems; every thing passed with no errors.

Any ideas what is going on?

I'm having the same problem. Since, my iPhone is my primary phone, I have no phone—my own fault for being naive enough to believe that Apple would have corrected all the problems before launch this time around.

As much as I love it, this sort of behavior is unacceptable. I own this phone, it should not depend on iTunes to work properly.

At least I can call 911...*sighs*

 

[Volka]

It must be a server overload. Very annoying as I now can't use my phone at all!

 

[estee065]

It must be the servers. A few minutes after I posted, it worked. Keep trying, 3.0 looks good so far

 

[kdiz]

Not sure how it is for you folks, but I have sim lock on my phone which has stopped the activation.

I'm now trying to hunt down another o2 sim to put in it to try and activate the phone. Pain in the ar$e.

 

[Volka]

It took an hour for this damn software to download, this is NOT a good time for the server to be down! Now I probably won't have a phone until the morning

 

[saivior]

*UPDATED*

Okay I just got my phone to re-activate. I still couldn't connect to the iTunes store but the phone activated, with the 3.0 update.

Just keep trying.

 

[Pixellated]

The same thing happened with 2.0. Wait a couple of hours then activate.

Same Problem Seattle, WA

I am having the same problem and its been going on for about an hour....this is very frustrating because i have work in an hour and now i dont have a phone..

if anyone has any tips PLEASE share.

 

[davyreins]

This error happened to me also. I kept periodically reconnecting my iPhone and it eventually worked.

 

[Volka]

Keep trying - mine has finally activated.

 

[mgoose]

I'm getting the same issue, but I can connect to the store by clicking on iTunes store, but my phone won't freakin' activate, it's driving me nuts.

 

[gjw4u]

After waiting 1hr., the phone finally connected to the Apple Store...
At least the phone is now working again

Like Volka said guys KEEP TRYING! I was panicking too but eventually worked.
It must just be the servers are all JAMMED up.
Peace out!

 

[GeneralPie]

works

everyone is right, keep trying after about an hour it finally activated.

but now i tried doing my gfs phone and it appears that they have temporarily shut down the servers.

so who knows when that will be back up.

im just glad i got mine in

Cannot enter Passcode lock in Emergency Mode

I have downloaded the update but now has this message.
"Itunes could not connect to this IPHONE because it is locked with a Passcode. Please enter the passcode before it can be used."
I had a passcode lock on it before but I am in emergency mode.

 

[kdiz]

UPDATE - It finally activated. Just takes a while. Patience is a virtue as they say...
