IPad 1 asking for Activation after 5.1 update

I have an iPad 1 from when it first came out.  It's worked perfectly, but after upgrading to IOS 5.1, it now is telling me that I have to activate it.   When I connect to iTunes, it says:  "The software on the iPad has expired and must be updated to a newer version".   It already has 5.1 installed.  iTunes can't sync with it "because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined."    When I try to activate from the iPad, it tells me:  "could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."   This has been going on for several days.
Restore doesn't work due to the above messages.   Looks like the only way to whack it is through iTunes which refuses to connect for the above reasons.  I've checked all the various help pages (everything is up to date, no other USB's plugged in, etc.).   Tried resetting the iPad directly, that didn't work.  Any other suggestions?

I have the exact same issue with an ipad 1 on iOS 3.2.2...
Not charging unless I plug the cable in when it is off.
Will not charge or sync on late 2011 MacBook Pro... on 10w USB.
Thinking of replacing the dock connector and/or the battery...

  • CS6 and Premiere Elements keeps asking for activation

    Hi
    I am a system engineer in a school. We have a K12 Site license for CS6 and we purchased about 30 single license versions of Premier Elements through certified resellers. I deployed CS6 a few years ago on our old PC's by installing the software on one computer and then cloning the pc 30 times with CloneZilla. That worked fine.
    A year later i repeated the procedure on 25 other computers. No problem there.
    Last summer i did the same to replace the 30 pc's i had cloned the first time. Since then i have to activate CS6 over and over again indicating a trial version. Also the other classroom with 25 pc' began to ask for activation after 2 years with no worries.
    In oktober i Installed Premiere Elements on each individual computer one by one. And that went well for a few months but then all of a sudden PE began to prompt for activation. My collegues drive me crazy with their remarks and worries.
    So far i tried to activate CS6 by creating a serialization file with the adobe application manager. When i run the file and retry the program i am no longer prompted for an activation... for a while.
    There is no way to tell which device will prompt of when. It is random. Sometimes it is just one device, then all of a sudden it are 3-4.
    Please help

    Hi Maarten,
    Adobe Premiere elements 12 (individual license) requires sign in /activation if you have installed individually however you can suppress the sign window using Adobe provisioning toolkit
    In case you have Adobe volume license for PRE 12. Please visit the link below to find the workflow.
    Deploy Premiere Elements 11 and earlier | Windows
    Thanks,
    Ashish

  • I updated my ipad to ios 8 and now my ipad is locked asking for activation when i put it doesnt accept my apple id do you have a solution?

    i updated my ipad to ios 8 and now my ipad is locked asking for activation when i put it doesnt accept my apple id do you have a solution?

    Did you by this iPad new? Or used? If it was a used iPad, you'll need the Apple ID login for the original owner. If you bought it new, contact AppleCare with proof that you are the original owner and they may be able to help you.

  • My ipad is asking for activation

    i installed IOS 8 and the installation did not finished and i unplugged the internet connection , now it asking for activation but i forgot my apple id and password any solution

    I know that you are trying to solve this immediate problem right now, but I want to speak to the issue after you have solved it. When it comes to your Apple ID, your password and other passwords in the iOS devices, you really must remember them or write them down amd put it in a secure place (not just laying around). Your Apple ID and password is critical for all the various things you do in the iPad. And if you get the two-factor authentication then you REALLY must remember (or put away safely) that emergency password they give you. This is critical and it will save you a lot of trouble and headaches in the future!

    I have successfully restored my iPhone 3 gs( Ios )  by itunes. After activation it is asking for activation.

    Thank you

    Well, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

    The App Store version sometimes gives problems. As you can't install 10.8.4 from the App Store, download and install the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US This edition will work and will update OS X to the most recent version, in that case, 10.8.4

  • My Ipad's repeatedly  asking for activation and can't be activate through cellular data, what could I do?

    MY Ipad's repeatedly asking for activation, even though I activated 20 times, not kidding! And the worst is I can't activate it through cellular data, for no good reason. Yes, I checked the setting for the cellular data about itunes and so on. I also tried to reboot, to remove and put back the sim card. I also tried to send a request to apple support, but the f... button in the email sent doesn't work. I'm kind of ****** off, cause I couldn't use my ipad all the last evening till I get to a wifi zone... What the **** is going on with Apple? It's getting worst and worst... I have a ipad retina, not the last generation, but the one before... Not sure which number it is though.

    I understand the question fully. Your issue is that the activation does not seem to be registering nor working properly (which is why you keep being asked to activate it). Maybe activating through Wi-Fi will activate the iPad properly since as you say yourself, "I can't activate the Ipad by cellular data." I don't think it would much more trouble to try it through Wi-Fi and could very well solve your issue.
    A question does not come up though...which activation are you actually talking about? The initial activation of the iPad for use (when you are first setting up the device) or the activation for cellular data with the device's cellular data carrier for use on the device? My initial response was for the first scenario.

  • Bought the iPad . Asks for activation, but he is a friend who forgot my login, but remember the password. What to do? I want to completely reset together with his id. How to do this?

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    I am on Holliday and started an iOS upgrade to my iPAD 2, yesterday.  The security lock have never been enabled.  After the upgrade via WiFi in the hotel, the iPAD asks for a 4 digit kode to access my iPAD!   ?????? APPLE, what programming subroutine is forgotten during functional testing prior to release of the latest iOS upgrade???? - Now from a borrowed hotel guest computer I post my ”HELP NEEDED”.  Please advice if there is a way to skip a security kode I never enabled (nor even tried out and diabled) – WITHOUT spending time to find a Apple store helpdesk  that restore via iTunes, and delete all my local data.

    During the setup of iOS 7 which you went through after installation it asked if you wished to create a passcode. It is possible to skip setting up a passcode at this step but you must have created one.
    If you can't remember the passcode and you have enabled "find my iPad" you can use http://www.icloud.com/ to remote erase your iPad, then you can set it up again, and restore it from an iCloud backup.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Robin.
    Contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

    Careless? Possible, but unlikely. Most likely the phone was stolen from the first owner. It would be a VERY careless iPhone owner who did not erase their personal information from a phone before selling it, and to do that it is necessary to disable Activation Lock. In most places in the world knowingly using stolen property is a crime, so the fact that the phone doesn't work may be the least of one's risks.
