Can't activate ipad after erasing?

I upgraded to ios7 and then could not use my imessages or facetime.  I could not login with my apple account.  I finally resorted to backing up my data in itunes and erasing all of the data  and resetting my IPad.  When I went to set up the IPad as a new device it asked for my apple ID and password for activation but does not recognize the one I use for my apple account. I Iooked through various apple support docs and went into iCloud but there is no device associated with iCloud and I cannot find any previous usernames or passwords associated with the device.  I am stuck.  I now cannot use my Ipad at all.

Sorry, without the original Apple ID and Password, you cannot activate your iPad. Did someone setup the iPad for you using his/her Apple ID and Password?

  • How can i use ipad after erasing it

    I cannot access my ipad after I erased it, I don't have access to the old email and the pass word and security questions aren't working, what can I do so that I can set it up again?

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must enter the previous Apple ID and password to use the device. If you cannot remember the old Apple ID and password ou will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Can't activate iphone after erasing it from Find my Iphone by error

    Hi,
    Earlier today I upgraded to IOs 7. Aftr that I erased the iphone from find my iphone (I have backup in the cloud).
    After turning on again, it requests: language, then country, then WiFi (no option for SIM code) and then it gives the message: "it make take a few..." but it never activates.
    I am in UK but my SIM is from Spain... is that the problem why I can't activate it?
    thanks,

    It might be.  If you were on AT&T in the U.S. you could only re-activate the device in the U.S. on their network.  Contact your carrier in Spain and ask them.

  • Can't activate iPad after getting it from repair. Need help quick!

    I recently broke the screen of my iPad but the hardware was working very well. Today I got it back from the repair service I gave it to (not Apple store), and when I turn on the iPad, it tells me to activate the iPad using my Apple ID, I enter all my info correctly, but it doesn't unlock. Did they give me a wrong iPad, did I get scammed? Please I need help quickly since I will be leaving the town after 3 days. Thanks for any help

    Do you have the serial number of the iPad you purchased & sent in for repair? If so, look on the back/bottom of the iPad to see the serial number of the iPad you have. Does it match?
     Cheers, Tom

  • Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)?

    Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)? I am looking to give ipads to contestant participants and need a way to automatically lock the device once the set duration (measured in days, weeks, months or years) is complete. Does anyone know of an iPad app that locks the device after a period longer than 24 hours (ike most parental control apps)??
    Thanks for any help!!

    It's called "SelfControl". It can be a little hard to learn to use but it's worth the effort.

    I have iPad 3 16 giga I have a problem in access or activate iPad after the update to the iPad ois7.1.2  And asks to activate .
    what is the solution

    Did you update via settings>general>Software update? Via iTunes?
    Is the iPod connected to the internet via wifi?
    Try connecting it to your computer and then try restoring
    Is it asking for Apple ID and password?

  • I just purchased Adobe Lightroom 5 and can't activate it after installing it on my computer because the product box doesn't contain a 24 digit S/N serial number but an 8 digit PN number. Does anyone have a solution?

    I just purchased Adobe Lightroom 5 and can't activate it after installing it on my computer because the product box doesn't contain a 24 digit S/N serial number but an 8 digit PNB number. I contacted the vendor and they told me to seek help via the Adobe help lines. Does anyone have a solution?

    Unfortunately, the "find your serial number quickly" link does not work because I don't have any number on my Lightroom cdrom box with 24 digits... All I have is an 8 digit PN number... :-/

  • Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone all my personal data will be unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6  on the street

    Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone option,  all my personal data will be completely unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 +  on the street. I have already received a mail from apple confirming that is erased. Can I trust on this message? It really works? my 3G connection was working properly.
    Thank you very much

    Hey Joangil,
    Yes! If you have received an email from Apple stating and confirming that it is erased then you should trust this message. It would have all been removed.
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone has been stolen,
    Zach
