This error usually indicates a server-side error that you can do nothing about.


A restart of your WiFi Router and/or a change of DNS settings may be helpful.


To restart you home router, disconnect power - then wait at least 30 seconds before restarting. When you router has rebooted (which may take several minutes), force-restart your iPad:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




For recommended DNS servers (configured at your home router and/or your iPad), you might choose one of the following DNS Providers (IPv4 and IPv6 addresses included below):

9.9.9.9

149.112.112.112

2620:fe::9


OpenDNS
