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?

  • 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 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?

  • Songs don't show up on my iPad after applying them from iTunes. Help?

    I plug my iPad 2 into the computer and iTunes automatically comes up. When I go to apply a new playlist from iTunes to my iPad, it looks like it finishes loading and then it shows that I should have 181 songs on my iPad but i only see that I 31 songs. What should I do? or What is going on? I haven't changed any settings on either my iPad nor my computer.

    Are you selecting the playlist like this
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages.  When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

    When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages.  When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates. Any ideas?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • How to activate CS3 after transferring files from a dead computer to a new computer

    How do I activate CS3 after transferring files from a dead computer to a new computer?
    I have a CS3 on an iMac.  My old iMac's disk drive failed completely.  So, I cannot turn it on.
    I installed all my files and programs from a back-up drive.  Adobe Product Support said I should go to the Forum.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

    The message I get when I try to start Photoshop says, "Licensing for this product has stopped working."  You must contact customer support.

    Aprreciate help on this.

    To resolve this, you need to reconfigure the "Oracle Application Testing Suite Helper Service" (OATSHelperSvr) to start as a user who has privledges to run open script tests rather than the default SYSTEM user.
    Reconfiguring the OATSHelperSvr Service:
    1. Open the services panel (Start > Run > services.msc)
    2. Find the Oracle Application Testing Suite Helper Service
    3. Right Click > Properties then select the Log On Tab
    4. Specify an interactive user that has rights to run OpenScript (test by logging in as that user and running tests):
    5. Click OK
    6. Restart the service after dialogs are closed by Right Click > Restart
    7. You should now repeat this process for the "Oracle Application Testing Suite Agent Service" (eLoadAgentMon) Service (Two services in
    total)
    You should now retry running the test in Oracle Test Manager

  • 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.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

    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 have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
