Hello,


When I started my IPAD it giving me error saying my iPad can't be activated. Serial number DY*****FHW When I contact to ITUNE, and try to activities with my Apple ID its not letting me and says, this ID is not accosted with this IPAD. When I login to my Apple ID, I seed this serial number listed in there. So I don't understand why I can't unlock my IPAD?

This says for iPhone, but the directions are the same for iPad: If you can't activate your iPhone - Apple Support


If this doesn't help, then do as suggested and contact Apple Support. You can use the Contact Support at the top of this screen

or you can even schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for assistance.
