Can’t access my ipad

I haven’t used my ipad for a few years. Now I opened it and complete the updates. Hovewer there is a warning on the screen, it says “the ipad cannot be activated, please try to connect with itunes”. What should I do?

Connect the iPad to a computer and use iTunes on Windows/older Macs

or Finder on newer Macs to complete the updates. If you do not have

a computer/Mac, borrow one from a friend/relative/co-worker for

the few minutes it will take for the updates to complete.


You will need the AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad.
