Check your network connection.

Try these steps:

  1. Restart your device.
  2. Sign out and back in to your account.
  3. Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on it.

  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings
