Unable to activate after lock out

I am locked out of my 3 year-old iPad having forgotten my original IDs for Apple, @me and iCloud. (I don't use @me or iCloud on iPad; need Apple ID for iTunes on Macbook and iPhone.) I have restarted the iPad but cannot activate it because I do not have these original IDs. Any ideas out there?

Go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve the ID that you need, then follow the instructions to change the passcode. If you cannot remember the answers to the Security Questions, you will have to contact Apple Support to reset them:

  • Unable to activate after updating to iOS 6

    The iphone 3GS is unable to activate after updating to iOS 6 i'm connecting it to iTunes but it says there is no SIM card which there is plz help

    connect phone to iTunes, click OK on any of the error boxes that come up.  Then with your iphone still connected to iTunes, hold down the home button and press the lock button and count to ten, then let your finger off the lock button whilst keeping your other finger on the home button for a further 10 seconds.  Your phone will then go into restore mode, a message should then pop up on iTunes asking if you want to restore and update - click yes.  I followed the procedures and my phone is now running perfect with ios 6.0.

    Your iPhone was "unofficially" unlocked by some means to work with a different carrier. Now that you have updated it has relocked to the original carrier. If you do not know who the original carrier was you will need to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone. Then you will need to contact that carrier to see if they have a process to unlock the phone and if you qualify.

  • HT201407 unable to activate after restore and update

    I decided to update the iOS on my wife's 3GS phone but was unable to activate the phone again afterward. This phone was originally locked to a French provider FSR and the phone still thinks it is associated with that provider somehow. Contacted Apple support and have restored the phone but still no luck on activation. Ran out of time to deal with this yesterday so I am back again now looking for a solution. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    The message I receive is "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." "Please try again later or contact customer care"

    iPhones require a SIM for activation.
    If the device still will not activate, this is typically the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.  If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • HT1414 Granddaughter received new  I pad air from school, entered password incorrectly and unable to remember word, locked out of start up.

    Granddaugter received new I Pad Air from school, appears to have put a password incorrectly into the system and can't remember the word.  Now lock out.  Is there a way of over coming this problem.

    Nothing you can do.  The School will have to restore it and input their Apple ID and password to unlock it. 
    If you restore it, you'll engage Activation lock and unless you know the password for the associated Apple Id you won't be able to do anything else.

    Hello @CocoJoe,
    I understand that you are getting a 'Power Button Lock-out' error when you push the power button on your HP W2371d 23-inch Diagonal LED Backlit Monitor.I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
    Step 1. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds
    Step 2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
    Step 3. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
    Step 4. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
    Step 5. Press the Menu button on the monitor
    Step 6. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
    Step 7. Try different cables between your computer and monitor.
    If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

  • HT201407 iPhone unable to activate after restore

    Hi,
    I have just restored my old iPhone 3GS 8GB (without a sim card in it) as I was going to sell it. However after restoring it via iTunes a message appears "we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care"
    I have tried it several times but get the same message, any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Unable to activate after reset

    I went to reset my phone, when I did this, it took me through the steps to activate the phone, but was unable to do so.I keep getting a message saying - could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Have been trying to acivate the phone for more than 9 hours.Getting really frustrated. Anyone suggestions?

    Go to your service provider and see if they can't get it activated for you. If that doesn't work, it may be that the servers are overloaded and you'll have to wait it out.

  • Unable to activate after Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) is deployed

    I'm having a very strange issue with deploying the "Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455)". Here's what I see:
    Deploying to a Windows 7 SP1 system fully patched as of 7/29/2013
    Using SCCM 2007 R3
    Task Sequence installs Office Professional Plus 2010
    Task Sequence installs Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455)
    The Office Professional Plus 2010 install was configured to use our key using the Office Custimization Tool (setup.exe /admin)
    When I try to activate the suite using any of the installed applications (word, excel, outlook or powepoint) I get the error "An unspecified error has occurred. Your request cannot be processed at this time. Please try again later. (0x80070190)"
    If I repair the install then try the activation again it works right away. This is a good work around for single installs but for my needs of multiple system deployment and for pushing out the Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) to other systems
    in my environment this will not work.
    Can anyone please suggest a solution to this problem?
    Thank you,

    Hi
    According to my research, this issue occurs when one of the following conditions are true:
    If you have CD emulation software installed, a registry key is preventing the hardware ID from being acquired.
    A required registry key is not set correctly or is missing.
    If you want more detailed information, please refer to the following link:

  • Unable to activate after upgrade

    I'm trying to re-activate my phone after upgrading to 1.1.1, and iTunes is giving me a "Cannot complete your iTunes Store request. The store may be busy," but the regular iTunes store is working fine.
    Is the activation server down right now?

    There's obviously a problem with the activation servers. Although AT&T doesn't know of any issues (and told me to contact Apple), I am now no longer getting the error, but it's been attempting to access the store now for about 5 minutes.

  • Iphone 4 unable to restore after locked for multiple wrong pass code attempts

    My sons Iphone 4 (from verizon) has been disabled since too many attempts to input wrong pass code. It asked to connect to Itunes, have done every step to restore it and it is stuck on RESTORING IPHONE SOFTWARE; IPHONE RECOVERY MODE. It has not really progressed at all since it started that step and it has been more than 3 hours or so already. Im so scared to unhook it from the usb but i do  not know what else to do. Have tried before in our MAC but would give me an error message so i tried with our windows laptop and it worked fine. But now its stuk on recovery mode.... DOES ANYONE HAVE A SUGGESTION ON WHAT ELSE COULD I POSSIBLY TRY to restore the phone???? please help!!!!

    Sounds like the mess I got into when giving my little cousins and iPod Touch. They, of course, set a passcode and forgot after a few brief secondsand dissabled it. Even worse, you can't make and emergency call, plus they left it in airplane mode. I looked up how to put the iPod into restore mode. I did so on a computer it was not authorized by. Everything seemsed okay until the process evetually just stops midway every time and I have to start over. Eventually I just took a trip to the Apple store and they did it in two minutes. They said I was going to lose all the data (which would've been annoying because I got them like 60 free apps all downloaded on the slowest wifi in the world0, but suprissingly I didn't lose a thing. i even got t osee all the videos they recorded with the device for the brief time they had it. Just understand Apple makes certain tasks such as this almost impossible to accomplish at your home, forcing you to take a trip to the store. At least they are always nice about it. Good luck!
     Thank you for choosing Apple.
