How do I re-activate my Ipad?

How do re-activate my locked ipad?

Use the cable supplied with the iPad to connect to the computer
you usually sync with and use iTunes on that computer to restore
the iPad. Then recover your data from iCloud or your backup.
If you have never synced with a computer, the process is the same
except you will lose any data you have not backed up.
You must connect to iTunes to restore the iPad - there is no way
around that.

  • When trying to activate my iPad 3 I get a message that the activation server is temporarily unavailable.   Does anyone know how to help me activate my iPad?

    When trying to activate my iPad 3, I consistently get a message that the activation server is unavailable, Please Try Again.    Does anyone know how to help me?

    It is not bricked... I think I finally found the way:  http://www.imore.com/how-fix-activation-errors-iphone-after-installation-ios-7-b eta.
    The above artical started to help.. but eventually I did the following:
    1) put device into DFU mode
    http://www.imore.com/tip-put-iphone-ipad-dfu-mode
    2) when connecting ipad to itunes, itunes was aware of DFU mode.  Just selected the update and itunes downloaded the correct new OS (iOS 7.0.2) and did it's thing.
    Note: there was no need to download an older version of iOS.  In fact, I was always rejected when attempting a downloaded ipsw.  iTunes always said, "This device isn't eligible for the requested build".
    Device Info: iPad 3 wifi.  Software was iOS beta 7 (7 release 5 I think). 

  • How to reset and activate an iPad when you are unable to locate the original Apple ID that set it up

    My son received an iPad as a gift from someone we don't know.  He got it to a state of needing to be reset.  I am having trouble activating it because it is looking for the original Apple ID that set it up.  I have an Apple ID and was able to reset it but am having issues activating it.  Any ideas???

    Sorry, but you can't use that device; only the person who set the lock or Apple can remove it, and Apple will only do so for its original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • Cannot Activate [New] Ipad - Ipad Not Detected on iTunes

    I received my iPad through the mail, yesterday, and have been unable to use it due to it's inability to reach the activation server ('Could Not Activate iPad' error). I read via the forum that it could be related to a server overdrive, however, it is now 24 hrs later and I am still unable to activate it.
    My WiFi Connect is perfect; all 3 bars. The iPad looks to have the new IOS 7.
    I decided to go forth suggestion of activating the iPad via iTunes, so I downloaded it onto my laptop, following all of the reccommended steps. Nothing happened. I clicked Help>Run Diagnostics, everything is fine and dandy except for one test result stating 'No Ipad, Ipod, etc. Dectected'.
    How am I to activate my iPad without the option of using WiFi, nor iTunes. Help!

    Make sure that the version of iTunes on your laptop is iTunes 11.1 or later. If not update iTunes.
    Try resetting the iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. Then try activating again.
    Also check to make sure your Wi-Fi network router is not running a firewall. That might interfere with activation. Once your phone is up and working you can turn the firewall back on. Also turn off any virus protection software on your computer during the activation process.

    how can i activate an ipad that was attached to someones icloud account.  I am not able to reach the person to have them release it

    You can't, i'm sorry. What you're running into is the activation lock and it requires that the original owner release it with their apple ID before you can set it up.

  • TS4006 I used find my ipad from my iphone. I have now found my ipad. How do I re-activate it?

    I used "find my ipad" last Friday, from my iphone. I found the ipad this morning at work, where I left it. How do I now, re-activate the ipad? It does not turn on.

    Charge it in a wall outlet using the original accessories. Leave it alone for several hours, then with it still plugged in, reset by holding down the power & home buttons until you see the Apple. Let go and the device should reboot.

    If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account.  There are discussions about this issue.  Otherwise...  for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on.  Use Google.
