If you have followed the on-screen instructions - and waited for a short time before retrying - you have two alternatives (both explained on-screen):


1) You can connect your iPad to a PC/Mac and attempt activation using iTunes.

2) You can contact Apple Support for assistance; you’ll find the Contact Support link at top-right of this page.


You can also try connecting to a different WiFi network - as this may resolve the network connection issue. Likewise, restarting your Home router (if connected via WiFi) as this can also resolve network issues.


I hope you find this to be helpful in resolving your activation problem.
