iPad2 will not be 'activate' after update-"activation server is temporarily unavailable."

IOS downloaded again today for my ipad2, but not "activate", tried several times during the last hours 7, get message ' could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable, try to connect your iPad to iTunes "but can't do it because I can't use the device!  I've never had problem in the 3 years I've owned the device.

When they say connect to iTunes that they intend to use iTunes on a computer to try to restore the device. He has worked for some.

Or you could wait it out and see if Apple fixes things.

  • 9.3 your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.

    Downloaded the new software 9.3 on IPhone without a problem, for IPad 2, it says: your IPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.

    Tells me to connect to ITunes to activate, when I do that, it says Apple does not recognize the device. This has happened for hours. Any clue whats going on?

    It is more likely to occur when a major update of iOS was recently released, because so many people seek to activate at the time, and sometimes the Apple servers get overloaded. Try again in a few moments, and maybe a reboot of the strength of your iPad.

    To force the reboot:

  • My iPad 2 could not activate after installing 9.03. Say... could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailalble. I tried to 'activate' for four days... went to an Apple store bar 'Genius' and still no solution.

    I have an iPad 2 and before executing the last IOS 9.3 update, it was a camera works perfectly well. I don't have any iCloud upward. I have the valuable photos and info on my iPad that I don't want to lose!  Now I can't even use it!  He failed to activate after the execution of the update and is now in an infinite loop.

    I understand that you're angry about the issue of server activation, but sittuations as why it is so important to backup your data using iTunes or iCloud. You never know when you might have to restore from a backup.

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - set
    SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those with Dump in their names. (Also
    updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
    on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
    Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
    company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
    the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
    the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
    Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
    MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
    If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
    you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
    and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
    their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
    Site of the manufacturer here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
    installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
    later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
    Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
    SCANNER - check manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
    the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
    and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
    in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
    pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
    driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
    you want.

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however remember to check
