New iPad set up is saying "iPad . . .???

"iPad could not be activated because the activation server could not be reached"? What do I do to get it on? I plugged it into iTunes and still said error try again later_

Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete Account. This disconnects your device from icloud and also removes all data in that account from the device (it stays in the cloud). Then log in using your new account's ID.
Also, the storage problem may be that your ipad doesn't have enough storage, not icloud.
Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.

I got a new iPad and can't get my music or videos from the cloud or iTunes. Every time I download all my music & a video then click on music it says I don't have any music & I can purchase music on iTunes. I go to iTunes click purchased and download again. It shows everything downloaded so I open music and get the same message - no music. The same happens with videos. Am I missing a setting or something?

Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

If you see the white WiFi bars in the upper left corner, that simply means that the iPad has detected a WiFi network, and that does not mean that you are connected to the Internet.
Can you open web sites with Safari?

I found a way to get to my data. So do not need remedy at this time.
fwiw, I changed my ios7.04 setup answer of restore from itunes to new iphone. Eventually that allowed me to set up icloud, then turn off find iphone, restore. Very strange ios update.

TS4268 hi just setting up new ipad 2 and cant get imessage to work . when i put in apple id it says password incorrect have checked and reset but still wont work

hi just setting up new ipad 2 but when trying to use imessage it says sign in with apple id which i do but password doesnt work. have checked it numerous times but no luck. any ideas ?

The screen "Create Apple ID" is for users without an Apple ID (or someone who has forgotten their password). Since you do not want to create a new Apple ID, you are on the wrong screen.
Go back to the Sign-In screen and then sign-in with your Apple ID (or start over). The sign-in screen will have both fields to input: Apple ID and then Password. The Password screen may be a secondary screen after you input ID and hit Enter.
Hopefully, your further forays into the Land of iPad will not be as disconcerting as your beginning. I was also new to Apple (three years ago with the first iPad). It was a bit aggravating at first, however, now we own multiple Apple computers, peripherals and IOS devices (iPads,iPhone,Apple TV) and really appreciate the functionality and usability.

Did you select "Sign In with an Apple ID" as opposed to "Create a free Apple ID" when setting it up?

How do I set up an Apple ID for my 8 year olds new iPad Mini?

My 8 year old daughter got a brand new iPad Mini for Christmas and I'm trying to set it up for her to use. I keep getting a notification saying that I nee to create a Family Sharing Group from another device that has iOS 8 or later... my device is iOS 7 and am not getting an option in my iCloud setting to create a Family Sharing Group. I'm not sure what I can do since I can't make an apple ID for my daughter on her iPad mini getting started and setting it up for use...

As stated in the message your received (as you mentioned above), you need to use iOS 8 to setup/use Family Sharing. If you are using iOS 7, you cannot setup/use Family Sharing. To setup/use Family Sharing, you must update your devices to iOS 8.

I got a new iPad last month and set up through iCloud. Still have a message on my screen that it is still restoring from iCloud. How do I get it to complete other than having to rest me start again?

I Got a new iPad last month and sent up in the usually way and syncd to iCloud. However it has ever since shown a comment saying:
Restoring from from I cloud backup
i I have no idea how to get it to complete. Or do I need to re-set and start again?
Help!

Where do you see this message? I know it can take a few hours to restore from an iCloud backup if you had lots of apps, data, movies, camera roll photos etc on it, but it should not take days and daus to finish.
Have you restarted or reset your iPad since you got it? Not the reset that you are talking about - I mean the system reset. Try either or both and see if the message goes away.

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

Help - I have a new iPad 2 which I am trying to set up?

Help - I have a new iPad 2 which I am trying to set up. Connected fine to my existing iTunes account and upgraded to latest software update. Then it started saying that I had to restore it, so I tried, but it just keeps going through the motions of restoring and then telling me again that it needs to restore. What am I doing wrong?

What info do I need to enter to access my home wireless router when setting up my new IPad?

While setting up my new IPad I keep having trouble connecting to my home wireless router. It keeps telling me to pick a wi-fi network from the list it gives me of ones that are available. I choose my home wi-fi network that is password protected and it places a check mark next to the name. From that point it does nothing. It says "connecting to network" and the circle icon appears and seems to be searching for the connection but nothing ever happens. The lock symbol remains next to my wireless network name and I can't seem to continue with my IPad set-up. My router (Belkin) has a card where I recorded the information from its set-up and it has a SSID, a password and a network name. These description don't seem to correspond with the descriptions that my IPad is asking me for and I haven't been able to go further. PLEASE HELP!!

Connect to a router via web browser from another device, open "settings" -> "wireless"( sequence and title of menu depending on model and manufacturer of your router) and try to change wireless mode to 802.11N or if this mode not accessable, to 802.11g mode only. Save this settings( router will reboot) and connect Ipad2.

Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.
Restore iPad
If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.
