    I am guessing you have a cellular iPad.  If so, this should assist you:

    4 possible causes for that error message:

     

    1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, and of short duration when it

    does happen. Solution - try again.

    2] Your firewall and/or antivirus software are preventing the necessary connection. Solution -

    temporarily disable your firewall and/or antivirus software until the activation completes.

     

    3] computer being used for activation has been used to jailbreak an iOS device in the past.

    Solution - use a different computer.

    4] iPad has been jailbroken. Google may provide some direction, but jailbreaks often prevent

    updates from succeeding. Per Terms of Use for this forum, discussion of jailbroken iPads is

    prohibited.
