Could Not Activate iPad It was working before (for years!), but this morning I'm getting a "Could Not Activate iPad" message and can't get past it. I see lots of occurrences of others with this same problem, but the 'wizard' said that this question wasn't active so ask it again. Seems like a big waste of everyone's time if you ask me!
