Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Activation locked iPad

I got an iPad secondhand and it says unable to activate, an update is required. Then I can only shutdown, how do I update and get this thing activated?

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

If it is showing an Activation Lock, if you can't reach the previous owner whose ID is on the device and have them go to https://www.icloud.com/find/, erase the device, then remove it from their account, then the device is useless. Apple won't unlock it.
