Hi there Chickadee43,
We understand you're prompted to update your iPad in order to activate it, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.
Check it out here: If you see an Update Failed or Apple Pay Not Available alert after iOS update or restart
Specifically, look at the "What to do next" section.
Cheers!
