Q: I updated my ipad to 9.3 and now it will not activate
Hello,
I usually wait many weeks before updating any apple product, however someone else in my house updated the IPAD 2. It is currently an expensive looking brick
'If the problem persists, contact apple support at apple.com/uk/support' which is odd as I'm in New Zealand, anyway I tried a couple of different ways they oferred and each way they wanted money from me.
I have followed many of the suggestions posted here plus elsewhere. I have:
Connected to my laptop with iTunes, disabled the firewall from both laptop and router
Connected to a different network, failed to active
Restore from iTunes where iTunes downloaded 9.1 but did not install on the IPAD 2 saying it failed to activate
Reset from iTunes, failed saying it was unable to activate
I have an IPAD 3 which I am not keen to upgrade at all.
Any ideas?
iPad 2, iOS 9.3
