Ipad 2 erase all now cannot complete activation

I tried to complete an Erase All on my iPad 2. However, when restarting the iPad cannot complete its activation ... neither stand-alone nor when connected to my MacBook's iTunes account. I am in an endless loop and the activation will not complete. Any thoughts on what I can do?!?

Thank you! So when I sale it my friend should be able to "restore" from his itunes account?
I just needed to make sure al my personal and church business information was off the ipad 1 before I sold it.
Thanks again for the help.

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.

HT201304 I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?

This is so our guests cannot tamper or disable the device. We are already using Apple Configurator but their does not seem to be a way to lock down settings without a PIN.

There's a lot of restrictions information in Chapter 19 of the 4.2 User Guide.

Ipad 1 Erase all settings help please

Hello,
I just got my ipad2. I'm getting ready to sell my ipad 1 to a friend of mine. After I set up my new ipad 2 I went to delete all the content and personal info off my ipad 1.
Settings
Reset
Then I chose Erase all Content and Settings.
Now "nothing" comes up on the screen except the apple logo.
Did I mess up? Will my friend still be able to connect to his itunes and load the IOS and HIS itunes account or will he need to go to Apple for help?
I hope I didn't kill my ipad 1.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Have a great day.
Trent

How do you reset ipad to erase all previous data entry including personal information?

I have a new Ipad 2 and it does not recognize me, how can I reset everything back to zero and re-enter my personal data?

Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

After reset erase all data, cannot recover

Have IPhone 3g. Getting ready to trade in, entered reset to erase all data. Moving bar of erased data looked good. After reboot Apple Logo stayed. Pushed power and home to shut off. Then reconnected cable to IPhone. Started ITunes, detected IPhone in recovery mode, started recovery, process looked good extracting software, verifying, preparing iphone for recovery but then received error message, cannot restore 2005.
Tried DFC mode (dark screen), same result, no recovery, same error.
IPhone was moved from original carrier, to new carrier, don't know for sure, the name of that process. Lyndia?
If that process changed firmware, how do I restore to original firmware?
Thanks to all good help/clues. Cheers, Bill

Not a helpful answer. Moving carriers is a part of being a FREE American. Moving isn't hacking in any sense of that terrible word.
Hacking is accessing malicously, without permission, and with the intent to gain access to data that does not belong to the person gaining access.
Moving a phone at the end of a contract is just like porting...guaranteed by USA law...of course it took law to enable that porting freedom.
I guess it will take legislative action to end the silly and uncompetitive, "locking."

Yosemite has erased all movies cannot reload them from store

Upgraded to Yosemite
Almost all movies in iTunes were erased
Might have been temporary authorization issue but the computer is now authorized
Cannot go to purchased area of store and reload the movies- they are all seen as being in th elibrary-they are not
How do I fix this problem?

If you still have them listed in the Movies part of your library (even if you don't have their actual files on your Mac) then they won't potentially show for redownloading, iTunes will see those entries and assume that you have them somewhere. If they are listed there and you delete them then they might show in the Purchased area for redownloading. Or copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library.

What is cannot complete activation

I bought a phone off of ebay that already had the ios 5 system on it before the official release. However, now that iTunes has released the 10.5 update (which I did) I get the message that "We're unable to complete your activation. This device is not registered...... What does this mean? Will I be able to sync my phone? Will I be able to use my phone? Please help.

Try these suggestions.
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Can I sync only a book from a newly downloaded itunes to my ipad without erasing all the other music etc since it's synced to another computer?

I'm traveling and in an area that does not have wifi. However I do have LAN access. So I put a new copy of itunes on my laptop and downloaded a book I want to put on my ipad. How do I get the book from this new itunes to my ipad? Can I sync just the book without erasing everything else since I'm synced to my main computer which I do not have any access to?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again. Chris is talking about an Adhoc network. Make sure your PC wifi is enabled, then clck start and browse to control Panel. Open your Network Connections folder (name may be different depending on windows version).
You need to create a new wireless network called an Adhoc network. Note on most windows setups, it will not accept a WPA2 type password (bug I think). Try one first and if it fails, try with the WEP password. Take note of the prompt on type of input for the password and remember certain multi digit and numerals used consecutively will be rejected by the ipad.
When the wizard finishes. Close Network folder and click on your network icon in the system tray on your task bar. Click Connect to a network - then select your new Adhoc network and click connect. It will then start to advertise itself.
Go to your ipad Settings\Wifi and tap on Other. Enter your Network name in the top, then tap on tab belwo and set the password strength - WPA2 WEP etc. Go back a page and enter your password then Click Join. If the password is accepted it will join. If not go back to Network Settings and delete the previous Adhoc network (Dont try and reuse it) Create another one with a different name and try a different password srength.
If it does not work with a WEP - it could be a required Service is not running on your PC
Go to your Start button, and in the search area that appears type in Services - then hit enter. he Search explorer window should open with Services shortcutin Administrative Tools folder showing. Double Click it.
The following Services should be as follows
Workstation - Automatic, running
WLAN Autoconfig - Automatic, running
Telephony - Manual, started
TCPIP Netbios Helper - Automatic, started
SSDP Discovery (required to advertise your network presence) Manual, started
Server - Automatic Delayed Start, started
Security Centre - Automatic Delayed Start, started
Secure Sockets Tunnelling Protocol Service - Manual, started
Remote Access Connection Manager - Manual, started
ditto Auto connection Manager - Manual - stopped (runs when required)
Network List Service - Automatic, started
Network Connections - Manual, started
Function Discovery Resource Publication (required for some local sharing by some windows programs even when not connected to a work network - Automatic, started
Function Discovery Provider Host - Manual, Started
Extensible Authentication Protocol - Manual. started
DNS Client - Automatic, started
Base Filtering Engine - Automatic, started
Background Intelligent Transfer Service - Automatic delayed start, started
Application Experience - Automatic, started
Whilst at it, check Apple Application Management, Bonjour, and ipod services are all automatic and started when checking your services settings.
A full listing of default services can be found At Black Viper - use the NormalDefault settings for your system.
N.B. You may need to be in Admin user account if you need to alter the property sheets of any of these services - particularly the Apple three.
Also note that some sytems do require the UPnP Device Host to be Automatic, started; to accept third party vendor equipment connections. I have a vaio and when I have set mine to manual, I have had some problems in the past.
If you have Antivirus and/or windows firewall or a third party firewall enabled, when the connection goes live you will be asked to define its type. Choose Local or Trusted.
Lastly, when you disconnect from your Adhoc network, it can sometimes stop the associated service (found only in the registry) - you may need to log off and back on again to reconnect.
hope this helps, best regards, Ct
P.S

Ipad was erased. Now apps won't reload from backup, but show in the app window. They do't sync even when drag and drop is used.

The iPad was lost but returned. In the interim, I sent an "erase" command to the iPad. When I got it back , all info was erased when turned on. I used my backup and restored it, but the applications will not install. I have tried clicking "install". I subsequently tried the drag and drop method. Each time I "apply" the changes, It will sync, but nothing happens as far as applications being installed.
thanks.

Having the same issue. I got the iPad air and loaded apps from my phone but netflix didn't show up and won't open from the App Store

I am trying to reset my ipad to erase all info and start over, but it is asking for a security passcode I cant remember. How do i do this?

I am trying to reset my Ipad to factory setting, it is asking for a security pass code that I cant remember setting up. How do I reset this code?

Is it a security passcode, or answers to security questions. There's a big difference.
You'll have to remember the password.
With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.
If the iPad was running iOS 7, iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7

MacAir11" bought in July 2011. On erasing data now cannot connect to Internet

i erased the data from my MacAir11" (bought in 2011) as I was giving it to my daughter. Result was a blank screen with only the apple logo! No internet connection So could not reload software. Fixit suggested I connect my router by Ethernet connection but AirBook does not have a slot for that. On further research found that due to my router WEP no internet recovery is possible! Please help!

Greetings gmonica,
It seems you cannot successfully reinstall OS X, or connect to Wi-Fi. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your MacBook Air needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

I hard reset my ipad but it's now looking for activation. Why? And how can I get around it?

It's just suddenly saying ACTIVATION REQUIRED.
It's been a few weeks since I backed up so I'm somewhat nervous.
Help please. Anyone?

Sorry the news isn't better. I have to say I've not heard of it losing information from doing a reset - holding down the Sleep & Home buttons together until the Apple logo appears - I'm assuming this may be a result of the initial crash where the iPad froze.
If you backup to iCloud there is a very good chance your data will be backed up, or if you've backed up to iTunes a backup will be there but what will be present is dependant on how long ago it was backed up and what data has been added since this backup.
Regards,
Steve
