I just purchased an iPad Air. Trying to get it started but it won't activate

For why? What are you doing, and how is it responding? Messages?
You are doing the equivalent of phoning your car dealer and saying "My car won't start. Why?"

Did you set your iPad to make iCloud backup?

Or did you synced purchases from iTunes/App/iBooks Store?

TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS. Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

You will not be able to activate iPad if you do not have the Apple ID and password of previous owner.
iCloud: Activation Lock

If this is a Wifi only unit, it will work just fine in the UK.

I have just bought the iPad Air but cannot access the roots I have on my iCloud account. They do appear on my old ipad 2, any ideas how I can access them please

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Greetings, everyone. I just bought an iPad Air and after setting it up, received the following email, which looks scammish to me.

Somehow I didn't finish my question. It was: Greetings, everyone. I just bought an iPad Air and after setting it up, received the following email, which looks scammish to me.(Partially reproduced below.) Or is it legitimate?
"You’ve taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you."

i just bought an ipad air ... what's the default 4 digit code to unlock the ipad? i had not had a chance to reset it yet

There's no default 4 digit code.
You need to force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

I concur. You were sold a used/demo model that is essentially useless since it is already associated with an AppleID. Take back for a full refund OR a new sealed-in-box replacement.

You will need to talk to Apple, they would be the only ones who can tell you. We are just a user to user forum here.
