HT201210 My ipad is not activating.

Can't activate my ipad all of a sudden.

Did you charged your iPad for several hours?
If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.

  • My ipad 1 not active

    my ipad could not be activated because the activation sever is temporarily unavailable.

    Ok, it sounds like you've recently updated iOS? If this is the case, you are taken through a small setup process, turning on Location Services, setting up access to Wi-Fi etc.. Did the Wi-Fi succesfully detect and let you join your connection? As you'll need to be able to do this to Activate.
    It may well be turning your router off for about a minute and turning it back on and letting it get up and running again will do the trick.

  • Ipad is not activated

    I updated ios 8.3, after that I do not get network of using sim card. then  I went general setting and press erase and setting. now screen shows hello then press halo next page name of language , I press " English" then Region, I press Bangladesh, Then  few lines on ipad " Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporally unavailable. To connecting you iPad to itunes to activate it or try again in a couple of minutes"  I tried so  many times but it is not activated

    4 possible causes for that error message:
    1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, and of short duration when it
    does happen. Solution - try again.
    2] Your firewall and/or antivirus software are preventing the necessary connection. Solution -
    temporarily disable your firewall and/or antivirus software until the activation completes.
    3] computer being used for activation has been used to jailbreak an iOS device in the past.
    Solution - use a different computer.
    4] iPad has been jailbroken. Google may provide some direction, but jailbreaks often prevent
    updates from succeeding. Per Terms of Use for this forum, discussion of jailbroken iPads is
    prohibited.

  • Any one with solution ipad 3 not activating

    solution to activation error ipad 3 not activating

    Howdy petndemi,
    It sounds like you are unable to activate your iPad after updating it. I recommend the troubleshooting steps in the followng article, named:
    Get help activating your iPhone
    If your carrier provided a SIM card, make sure it's in your iPhone.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try to reach the activation server another way, then try to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you can't activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you can't activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    Check the system status for iOS Device Activation. If the iOS Device Activation status isn't green, try activating your iPhone later.
    If you receive an alert message when you try to activate your iPhone, place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you still can't complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
    If you're asked to enter a password to proceed with activating the iPhone, Activation Lock might be enabled as part of Find my iPhone.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Ipad mini not activating

    My ipad mini which was working fine until yesterday has stopped working this morning. It says it cannot connect to server and activate. My apple id and password I entered are correct. I had upgraded to ios 7 a week ago. How do I fix this? The ipad is not usable now.

    If you were on iOS7 beta, then it looks like the beta version has expired on you. You have to upgrade to the latest release version to get it working again.
    Go here: https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
    Once there, download the latest version for your device and install the update the iPad. iTunes will not do this automatically, but if you do the following steps (after downloading) you should be good.
    Plug iPad into your computer where you downloaded the latest release (7.0.2 at time of this post)
    Open iTunes and click on the button in the upper right of the app for your iPad
    Hold option (mac) or shift (windows) and click on Check for Updates. This will bring up a browse dialog.
    Find the .ipsw file named something like this: iPad2,5_7.0.2_11A501_Restore.ipsw
    Follow prompts to update and activate your iPad.
    You should be back to normal at that point.
    Apple will expire developer versions to make sure people are not using old versions for testing or development.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT201210 the ipad could not be restored, unknown error (40) - has anyone found a solution to this?

    greetings.
    I just tried to restore my first generation iPad and got the following message:
    The iPad could not be restored. Unknown error (40).
    has anyone else had this and found a wasy to bring the iPad back to life?
    I have tried all the trouble shooting ideas that iTunes led me to... very sad...
    many thanks,
    Shannan.

    Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer only
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times.

  • HT201210 The iPad could not be restored - An unknown error occures (-1)

    Attempting to upate to iOS6 - update failed - messsage received was to restore the iPad - this process went as far as "restoring iPad firmware where it stopped and resulted in the message - "The iPad could not be restored - An unknown error occures (-1)" Went through all the recommended trouble shooting steops but the problem repeats each time.

    Well, I did not think much about Hardware Error (1) becuase it had never happened to me.  Well, over the weekend, I decided to upgrade my iPad 2 32gb Wifi-CDMA to iOS 7.0.6.  I first attempted this OTA, not just once, but several times.  The device would download the software, began the process, reboot and began to apply the update.  It would reach about 60 percent and fail.  After the failure, the iPad would recover and reload the current 7.0.4 iOS.  It would then inform me I had an update.  Each time, I would try to apply the update OTA.  Each time, it would fail.  So, I tried to  complete the update via iTunes.  Well, each time, the process would get to 60 percent and fail.  iTunes would produce an error 3014 or error 1.  Looking through the logs, the problem would fail loading the firmware, and more specifcally, isolated to the modem.  I eventually tried so many times, I bricked my iPad.  I had it in recorvery mode and could not get out of it.  I read through all of the forums and the stories about driving to Apple stores, visiting the Genius Bars, calling Apple Support etc.  They all resulted in the samething, a hardware error of some kind.  Since I have taken hundreds of these iPads apart and repaired them, I figured that this one would get a new set of batteries and a logic board.  But before I decided I would do that, I tried to update and restore using several different cables, tried a desktop computer, two windows laptops, and a macbook pro and a macbook air, of course all with the same result.  So, knowing that iPads are built case down and that all of the connectors are either vertical or horizontal and that most of the horizontal connections are ribbons, I decided to try reseating all of the vertical connectors.  Know, before you read on, I would like to add a disclaimer to not try this at home or even try it at all, but I will tell you, it worked. 
    I took the iPad and dropped it on floor 5 times.  I left the iPad in it's case and droped it on a very tight nap throw rug on top of a hardwood floor.  I dropped it from an elevation of about 3 to 4 feet.  I was hoping that the shock would compress all of the vertical connectors and give everything else a bump too. 
    Nothing broke, especially not the display or digitizer.  Once I picked up the iPad, I connected it directly to a computer, went to iTunes and clicked on the upgrade and restore option.  The iPad loaded 7.0.6 without any issue.  The iPad is running great and I have not had a problem out of it at all.
    I do not recommend you do this to your iPad, but reseating all of the vertical connectors worked for me and I recovered an iPad that would have otherwise been bricked until it was disassembled and repaired.

  • HT201210 my Ipad will not restore after trying to update what do I do?

    I tried to update my Ipad to 6.0 .  NOw I am getting an alert that was unable to restore!!!  What do I do?  All I was trying to do was add some music to my IPAD!!

    Did you get an error #? What iOS version are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
