Reactivation of an old iPad Hi! I have an old iPad that has a lot of apps I need on it. I was able to log in via my Apple ID but it states the activation server cannot reached. So my Q is two-fold: A. How to I activate the server B. Shouldn't I be able to open those same apps, that are paid for, onto my newer iPad? Thanks from Non-Techy Kerrie
