My ipad 4 is unable to activate

Hi, guys
thanks for reading this. My Ipad4 suddenly has this problem where i am unable to activate it. I tried using wifi and itunes to activate it but it says that it is unable to reach the activation server and asked me to contact apple support should it persist. Anyone has any solutions? first page it asks me to input my language, country and wifi and then the activation then just fails and my ipad sometimes would just reset.

Hi Will iPad Restore to Factory Settings? If not connect to itunes Like this. Plug USB lead into PC Press power button on iPad KEEP PRESSED Then plug Lead into iPad  DONOT let go of power button until iPad Starts to update Firmware. Cheers Brian

  • New iPad 4th gen unable to activate

    Hi, just purchased new iPad4th generation, I am unable to actvate either on wi-fi or by connecting to computer through iTunes, continue to receive error that activation server off-line and to try again or contact support, (try contacting apple support in SA was onhold for over 20 minutes before I hung-up), have disabled anti-virus software to see if that would help, no luck, any suggestions,

    I have eventually sorted the problem, had to disable the anti-virus software (kaspersky) then reboot the computer, even though the anti-virus software was disabled the connections were still been blocked until the computer was rebooted, thanks

I know the apple id although i do not remember ever using it but i cannot remember the password. I have tried everything from reserting my password to trying different passwords but it asks me for a custom question that i dont remember creating.

    You need to use Apple's iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.

    Clear Safari, close Safari and reboot the iPad. Then try again.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Safari icon. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot 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.

  • Unable to activate new ipad

    I recently bought the new iPad.  Tried to activate and keep getting the message "your iPad could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached"

    Hello Denks69,
    Congratulations on your new iPad!  I recommend following the steps below when getting an error that your iPad cannot be activated (the steps refer to an iPhone, but are still applicable to the iPad):
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.

    When I reset my Ipad to scrub everything to hopefully resolve a Facebook issue I was encountering.

  • TS1398 Why can't I activate my iMessage or my FaceTime on my iPad mini. When I try it says unable to activate check network settings.

    When I try activating my iMessage or FaceTime it says unable to activate check network settings. One day it just stopped working and I updated to 6.1.2 to try and fix it and now it won't let me activate it at all. Can someone help me?

    I too faced the same problem . I was using imessage in ios6 and when i upgraded , There were issues like ,
    check network connections and Try again . , Connect to itunes for Push notifications . It was irritating and annoying for everyone i guess
    Steps to Resolve the i meeage issue
    1) Connect your phone to P.C and Back up your datas to P.C via I tunes
    2) Once the back up is complete . Connect your phonbe to Wifi or 3G cellular network and  Boldly go to Settings-->General --> Reset--> Erase all datas
    ( Do not worry if you had backed up your datas )
    3) Iphone will reboot . it will take some time
    4) Then your iphone will start . Click next and you will be prompted for i message activation . Give your apple id and Sign in
    5)Keep your phone connected . In P.C you will be prompted if you want to restore ( EOther wise go to I tunes --> File --> Device--> Restore back up
    It really worked for me .
    Hope this is clear.
    Thanks

  • Unable to activate my Ipad3 ????

    Can not activate over WiFi eventhough I tried two different wireless routers. It connects to the router but when trying to activate "Unable to activate at this time ...blah blah". Called customer support. They say the wifi connection is up and down. This is not the case. They suggested activating over iTunes. I had to upgrade iTunes which rebooted my laptop and then took a loooong time to come up. And then it tried to recognize the Ipad and gave up. I then figured out that by toggling the wifi, I could force Ipad to connect to iTunes. No go there as well. iTunes gives same message. "We are sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation this time. Please try again later or contact customer care". Now I have to get an appointment and drive 16 miles to the Apple store. Very nice!!!
    What is going on Apple?  I was expecting a pleasant no-nonsense user-experience. This is totally crappy and unacceptable.
    I am taking this unit out of the country and it has been engraved as well.
    I AM VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED, to say the least!

    Restart the iPad and try again. Try with iTunes when you restart the iPad and worry about the WiFi after you activate the device.
    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.

    Hello anacc,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
