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!

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. -
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... -
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. -
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 phone was stolen and my icloud is loged in and now my ipad is disabled and now asking for activation and it says there that i have to put my icloud account and i tried loging in my account but it says that it cannot open with that icloud account what do i do????
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. -
I have successfully restored my iPhone 3 gs( Ios ) by itunes. After activation it is asking for activation. When I am going for activation its saying that no SIM card is inserted, but I have already Ufone SIM card is inserted. I checked it with other SIM card like Zong etc but the response was same i.e; no SIM card is inserted. It not catching the signals. I am trying to use my wifi to activate my iphone but it iss not processing then i used itunes to activate by it's again saying that no sim card is detected.
My all contacts and all data is in this mobile. Now Iam unable to contact anyone. Please help me. How can I sort it out?
Thank you

Wazir AliWell, 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.

My wife gave me her older ipad. I have reset and removed all data. My Apple ID (Ipod touch) is not an email adress, but when I try to stu up the ipad it asks for my Apple ID, then tells me that for security reasons the Apple ID must be in email format?
Change it to an email address.

My ipad is asking for a pass code to perform the software updates. It has never done this before and I haven't set a pass code. How do I find, amend or delete this?
It's asking for the passcode you use to lock/unlock your iPad.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -

Setting up and activating iPhone
To set up and activate iPhone, turn on iPhone and follow the Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant
steps you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or
creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location
Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with your carrier. You can also restore from
an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.
Activation can be done over a Wi-Fi network or, with iPhone 4S or later, over your carrier’s cellular
network (not available in all areas). If neither option is available, you need to connect iPhone to
your computer running iTunes for activation. You might also read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424 -
Just purchased a new router yesterday since ours got struck by lightning. Now my husband's iphone and my ipad are asking for guest wifi passwords. Don't understand.
Some new routers come with the standard connection as well as a guest account. The guest account can be used for when friends come over and want to use your Wi-Fi connection. You can give them the guest account password and still keep the main account password private. Make sure you are logging on to the main connection and not the guest account.

First, we're not Apple here (Apple does not participate in this forum). We're only users like you.
The previous owner has not given you the correct ID and password for you to use.
If the iphone has iOS version 7, then read through the following...
