AKAuthentication Error -7005

Same here, how can we solve this?

Same issue here

When initializing, the device must be connected to a Wi-Fi or network

Same problem! I turn on with wifi and same problem, please HELP!

it's because of network issue, please check your internet connection (Turn on WiFi or mobile data)

You need to be connected to a wifi or network of some kind.

Check that you have the correct time and date settings for your location found this https://www.iphonelife.com/content/apple-id-login-9-ways-to-fix-error-connecting-to-apple-id-server-message#Date%20&%20Time helpful

Read “tgettermann” comment. Worked for me :) time and date reset. Mine went all the way back to 2001

I’ve had the same problem while resetting my phone. Connect to a Wifi or internet. In my case, I had no SIM card inserted or a Wifi connection so I used personal hotspot instead and it WORKED!

I had the same issue. My phone didn´t have passcode setting on. After putting it on phone resetting went trough without an error.

It’s mean that your iPhone not connected to the Wi-Fi.

Same issue here and finally found that checking time and date was incorrect. Simply changed them to correct time and date and boom, I was back in business… good luck.

The resolution to this may be Turning of the VPN Here: Settings>General>VPN & Device management. Make sure its not connected.

This resolved the same issue for us.

Hope that works.

Where can we see a list of these error code references? I’m getting 7003, but seems Apple spit out these codes and then it’s up to the internet to explain what they mean..??

Le WIFI doit être allumé et connecté pour que ça fonctionne. Ce qui serait bien c’est que le message le dise directement « allumez le WIFI » plutôt qu’afficher un code erreur…. 🤷‍♂️

What worked for me was disconnecting my current VPN regardless of either connected to WiFi or not. Make sure your VPN is disable or turned off. This did the trick for me! Hope this helps.

hello Dears,

I got the same problem and I try t figure out how tp wipe iphone 8. Acrobatic on high level does not help. iTunes says "turn onf find my iPhone", but it was deactivated or activated. Any way- the problem has been resolved when I determined that iPhone does not have proper time&date. So, please check time&date on your iPhones :) all the best for all

Irmão, atualiza sua data e hora. Aqui estava com este mesmo problema e consegui resolver.

Check your date and time settings, it may be set to manual instead of automatic. To get there, look up date and time in the search bar of settings. Next, enable the automatic option.

If that does not work, try signing out of iTunes. Do this by going to settings and selecting your profile at the top. Then, select media and purchases which will prompt the option to sign out. Restart your device and after making sure you have a stable internet connection, sign back into iTunes.

@Apple please fix this is a really silly bug.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro that was sitting in my drawer for at least 6 months. It was then charged to be wiped. When I tried the to "Erase All Content & Settings" it refused to connect with "-7005".

The solution:

• Go to Settings > Date & Time
• Toggle on/off "Set Automatically" (this was on for my phone but toggling it back off and on fixed my issue)

I‘ve had the same issue. But ii solved it by giving the iphone wifi/hotspot.

I just had this issue after removing the sim card. Turns out that Wifi was still "on" but somehow the iPhone got into a SOS mode only.

The fix: Go to settings, turn off wifi, turn it back on. Try to load a webpage in Safari and, if it works, try signing off of iCloud again.

If that doesn't work, try restarting your phone.

I had the same issue, caused by changing the Date & Time settings from automatic. ✅ Setting it back to automatic solved the issue.

Did you fix it?
