Hey aries35,
I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
Perform the following steps:
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.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

  • What's wrong with my ipad2? I just can't bear it always restart again and again when I just play a simple game!

    What's wrong with my ipad2? I just can't bear it always restart again and again when I just play a simple game! What's wrong with the apple without Jobs?!

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

  • What is wrong with my phone if it is discolored like a negative film and has flickering lines?

    I dropped my Iphone 4 last week, and when I checked it next the screen had severe discoloration, similar to a negative film affect. When I go to the lock screen it is a white screen with flickering horizontal lines on it. On my main screen there are also some lines at the top. I have tried resetting and restoring it and that did not help. And I have also looked at setting to see if that was why my screen was negative, and that was not the problem. Does anyone know what may be wrong with my phone?
    When i take a screenshot the normal colors comes back for a second or so and then go away

    What's wrong is most likely you broke it.
    Take it to the Apple Store along with your credit card. An out of warranty replacement will cost you US$149.

  • What's wrong with my iPhone 4 Bluetooth?

    I just bought a new iPhone 4 today, and when I tried to use Bluetooth to send file and receive file, they all failed. It's like when I tried to use other device to send a file to the iPhone, at first it couldn't even find the iPhone, after I turned off and turned on bluetooth again, it found the iPhone, but when I tried to send the file, said it was failed. And when I attempted to use iPhone to send a file, it couldn't even find any device, all it was doing was searching for devices all the time and nothing came out. Does any one know what's wrong with it? Please help me!

    This is not a current feature of any iphone, it never has been! I've heard that there are apps in the app store that allow you to transfer contacts but i'm not sure about anything else! Again you would need to look in the appstore, but again it will be very specific to that app if there are any at all!

    itunes store is not available. try back later. Everytime I try to purchase something this message appears. What is wrong with itunes?

    iTunes in Windows is difficult to uninstall.
    I found this for you in an older thread (read carefully before you start):

    Note that the following procedure involves a registry edit. Back up your registry prior to proceeding.
    (1) Do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related software components as per the instructions in the following document (but do not attempt to reinstall iTunes just yet):

    (3) In the left-hand pane of Regedit, click the triangle next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to expand its contents.
    (4) Expand the contents of SOFTWARE

    (14) In the "Owner" tab, check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects tickbox, select "Administrators" and click Apply:
    (14a) If (after clicking Apply) you receive a "Registry Editor could not set owner on the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys" message, click OK:
    (15) Click OK in the "Advanced Security Settings for Components" screen.

  • Apple TV3 doesn't start automatically when i select airplay from my iMac and Ipad 3. i have to manually turn it on then it works fine after that! what is wrong with which setting.

    Apple TV3 doesn't start automatically when I select airplay from my iMac (Yosemite) and Ipad 3( iOS 8.1.3) i have to manually turn it on then it works fine after that! what is wrong with which setting.

    You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

  • HT201559 What is wrong with my ipod?

    Can anyone help me identify what is wrong with my iPod? One day I tried to unlock it, and nothing happened. The screen is semi frozen, i can still use the screen home button (my original home button is broken) but i cant unlock it or turn it off. Basically i cant do anything that requires sliding my finger across the screen. I receive notifications still, the time changes, and I get alerted right as i plug the charger in. As im writing this I have it updating the software. Im sorry I dont remember exactly what iOS it was, i know it was 8. something. And this is an iPod 5 gen.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4796 i have successfully migrated the music but it just shows up in my files and has not updated my iTunes library which is still getting the music from iCloud and is not using the migrated files. Any ideas?

    I have successfully used windows migration software to move my music library from a PC to my MacBook Air.
    However the music files are just stored in my file system and have not updated my itunes files. Itunes is still getting the music down from icloud instead of using the music files.
    Any ideas?

    If you're using Windows Movie Maker and HP Photo to build slide shows, this is not an iPod touch issue (nor an iTunes issue), so I'd suggest you take up the problem on a web site that deals with Movie Maker or HP Photo issues. It's really not something we can help with in this forum.
    If you're building this slide show on your iPod, please post back and tell us what app(s) you're trying to use, and whether the iPod app on your iPod touch shows and plays your songs correctly. Knowing the specific model of iPod you have and the version of iOS it's running will probably also help.
    Regards.

  • I just downloaded ios7 and its saying that I cant activate my iPhone as the activation server cannot be reached, what do I do?

    I just downloaded ios7 and its saying i cant activate it because my activation server cannot be reached, what does this mean?

    The Apple servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
    Be patient and try again later.

    Hello Sunnymalik1,
    You must only have the required sim. All the information should be on your box.
