Cannot activate my new Ipad.  I am not computer literate.

If you go to a local Apple retailer they can help you. You can also read the manual: iPad 2 User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software). Also, see iPad User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software).

I am hardwried tomy computer, have insured that I have the latest version of ITunes but when I turn the unit on, I can get through the language and the country selection, select "connect to ITunes" , after a minute or two, get an error message "Unable tocontunue with your activation at this time"  I have been screwing around with this for several hours now and am beginning to think I have a $650 piece of junk

    Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
    Two things come into my mind:
    1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
    2) Apples activation servers are down.
    That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.

  • I cannot activate my new iphone5 because it keeps telling me that i need to download itunes version10.7

  • My new iPad mini will not activate. What could be wrong?

    My new iPad mini will not activate.  Tried restarting the iPad with no luck.  What else can I try?

    On your computer, go to http://www.apple.com/itunes and download the current version (11.0.1).
    Your iTunes 10.6.3 is old and cannot support a new iPad running iOS 6.
    It is possible your computer is too old to support iTunes 11.  That could be the reason for the message that 10.6.3 is the current version.  In fact, it is not current and insufficient to support your new iPad.
    Good luck.

    I just found that I can't Sync my Iphone either and it gave the same error code.... it must be a ITunes problem.

    Not with your current user id.
    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

    Trying to activate a new iPad mini. Keep getting message that activation server can't be reached and to try through iTunes. I can't go back beyond the language choice screen to select iTunes. Two days of trying to activate. Help?

    Apple's download AND activation servers are being stressed today with all the downloads/activations. It might be best to wait and try later.

  • HT1937 I cannot activate my new iphone 4s the server is unavailable but the problem keeps persisting

    I cannot activate my new iphone 4s as the server is temporarily unavaliable, anyone had this ? Any suggestions on when the server will be up and running?

    If you are activating it with your computer either your firewall/antivirus is blocking the connection to apple's activation server gs.apple.com or your computer was used at some time in the past to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

    I'll give your suggestion a try. It's strange I only have a small portion of my iTunes libary on my iPad. I understand that the free music may not appear, I would just like all of iTunes music there.

    Does the Officejet Pro 8500 A909g seriea with DLM1FN1006BR firmware accommodate airprint on the new IPad?  If not, is there some fix?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    No, your printer is not AirPrint capable and cannot be.  You can try other printing apps, like HP's ePrint Home & Biz.

    I AM FURIOUS! IT IS CHRISTMAS AND MY BRAND NEW IPAD MINI IS NOT CONNECTING TO WIFI!
    Excuse me - I am a owner of a chain of computer repair stores.. I am not a amature. Thats my qualification.

    Reset the router, Installed a new router, Updated the iPad Mini software (5 times with restore) Changes the wifi password endless times, reset everything countless times.

    Sincerely, Your LOYAL CUSTOMERS!

    <Re-Titled By Host>

    This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond. We'll try to help you.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    I have bought a new iPad mini. its not showing me Facetime Installed. How should I start a Facetime ?

    Where did you buy it? facetime is barred from devices sold in some countries, due to the countries insisting upon it. UAE and other middle eastern countries are examples.
    If you bought your iPad in a country that banns its use then you'll never have facetime on that device. It's locked out at the most basic level.

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • New iPad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help on that

    my new ipad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help why if any one knows? thk

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About
