Hi ,
i just updated to IOS 9.3 on both my iPhone and iPad.
Everything went fine on my iPhone, but the iPad cannot connect to the activation server.
Both are on the same apple ID.
Does someone have the same experience?
Grtz Gert
iPad Air, iOS 9.3
Very well stated. Also, the restore and update recovery option setting the iPad 2 up as a new device after completion does work. The devices are recoverable, it just takes a bit of work, but yes, it will be simpler once Apple completes the update that stabilizes iOS 9.3.x for older devices.
So gehts: http://www.areamobile.de/news/37289-ios-9-3-update-problem-auf-ipad-2-laesst-sic h-beheben
Obwohl mein iPad bei iTunes "nicht verifiziert" werden konnte, ließ es sich auf die Werkseinstellungen zurückstellen. Danach neu einrichten. Juhu!
Interessant: IOS 9.3 wird dann von Apple nicht mehr als Update angeboten. Ansonsten total schwache Leistung von Apple, die viele Kunden im Regen stehen lassen.

Ist zwar unüblich hier in Deutsch zu antworten, aber da ich Dir absolut zustimme...
Habe auch kapituliert und den restore auf 9.2.1 gemacht. Blöderweise habe ich das iPad schon länger nicht mehr gesichert, aber alles Schlechte hat ein Gutes und somit sind jetzt iPhone 6s und iPad2 synchron. 😎
Should I cry or should I laugh? 😍
I gave my mom my old ipad 2 years ago. The update now is blocking her from accessing anything beyond the start window in the set up, saying she needs my id/password bc it's linked to my 'find a phone". I turned off the find a phone in i cloud and gave her my info but it won't accept it. Any other ideas?
Delete any program you have that blocks malware like casperski, disconnect, or any antivirus things. These apps are blocking you from the apple server
This is a known problem/glitch.
Apple, I believe, has, unofficially, acknowledged and recognized this issue with activation server difficulties with certain iPad models and have stated that they are working on this issue and that it will be resolved as soon as possible.
Hopefully sooner.
It is affecting mostly iPad 2 models, but iPad 3, 4 and 1st gen. iPad Minis are being affected from this, as well.
There are some workaround solutions, but, unfortunately, these do not work for every iDevice affected.
This is clearly an Apple problem/issue that they time to sort out and solve.
Apple just recently has offered this possible solution.
A solution for Activation Server Lock on iOS 9.3.
Thank you that worked.
Why can't Apple just notify all users of a potential issue in the first place
After doing factory reset couple when nothing worked in last 2 days, then today I tried one thing curiously. And it works like a magic. I noticed VPN was trying to connect all the time. Though it never did before iOs 9.3 update. I found there is a profile called "Disconnect.me" under VPN which I never saw before. So I just delete that Disconnect.me profile. After that I can connect to iCloud and use internet in my iPhone.
So go to Settings->General->Profile under VPN. Then remove 'Disconnect' profile. Everything will be fine.
The apple Activation page didn't help me
Latest Apple news posted, unbelievably, ELSEWHERE other than on Apple's own website/community tech forums.
Apparently Apple has now halted iOS 9.3 updates due to growing Activation Server Lock issues.

Sit back and wait for the fix, or if she does not need anything on there, restore it to factory.
Thanks -
sorted the problem straightaway after days of all but bricked phone -
settings: general: profiles: delete vpn - instant fix!
I was required to do a factory reset, I have an older iPad 2. The procedure is below and works. I went back to version 9.2.1, and when I checked Thursday afternoon, 9.3 was no longer available? It is available this morning. This restore took most of Thursday afternoon!!
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port. 2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off. * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. 3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. 4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button: 5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert: 6. Use iTunes to restore the device. |
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Looks like there is a new update:
updated to IOS 9.3 and activation server is not responding
