Just installed the iOS 9.3 on iPad and iPhone. No problem at all with iPhone, however the activation process on the iPad is not working.
After introducing the Apple ID and password there is a message "Cannot activate because the activation server is temporarily not available"
Do you guys have any recommendations to follow?
There seems to be rash of these Activation Required errors and seem to be affecting, mostly, iPad 2 models.
I have an iPad 2, but currently, it is unaffected by this issue.
It, also, seems this Activation Server Required error is affecting some other older iDevices, as well.
So, clearly, this bug/glitch/error/issue hasn't affected every single older iDevice still in existence and still running.
Hopefully, Apple is aware of this issue.
This could be just a computer/server glitch/issue.
Computers CAN have issues.
No one, maybe not even Apple, may be aware of what is really going on!
This issue seems to have all started over this weekend.
OR
Apple is doing some work on their servers that maybe leaving them temporarily down and unavailable/inaccessible.
Perhaps preparing some stuff for this coming Tuesday's special event, maybe?
No one, but Apple may know what is going on.
Just to make sure they are aware, make Apple aware and submit feedback here.

Good Luck!
That could be caused by server overload. Apple released an update to both iOS and OS X today.
A few minutes ago I successfully tried the iTunes method and the activation process worked immediately.
My iPad is back in business!!
You are welcome. Glad I could help.
Thank you!
how do you solve this by itunes? just connect your devide to itunes using usb drive?
That is suppose to be the soultion but it doesn't work for me or many others
I just connected my iPad to my iMac, opened iTunes, and still my iPad can't be activated, may I ask how is your process, would you please tell how is your steps.
Your help is very appreciated, thanks.
??? Im not sure what you are asking me. what you just did "is suppose to be the soultion but it doesn't work for me or many others" that means what you did is exactly what I did but it didnt work for me and if you look on other threads you will see that it hasnt worked for some other people either so unfortuneatly I cant help you
Could you go through or point me to a complete idiots guide to the "iTunes" method please.

I will describe what I did last night and see if it works for you
Ok, I updated for iOS 9.3 an iPhone 4s with no problem at all and an iPad 4. Here is where the problem began
After downloading the software and installed I reached the point where the screen says Hello
On the Windows 10 PC opened the newest iTunes and connected the iPad
A square icon appeared on the left upper side of the screen
Gave a click on this icon and identified the iPad immediately, prompting for my Apple user and password
After typing this info, turned my eyes into the iPad and bingo, the screen appeared ready to use
End of the story
Hope this can be of any help to all users with the same glitch

No luck. Still no wi-fi connection even though it shows a connection on the iPod. I reset the router, hooked up to iTunes on my MAcBook Proand did a restore iPod which took hours but no luck. Called Apple but no help there. They said to take it in. But the problem started with the download of 9.3.
I have had a problem with my Ipad 2 and this 9.03 upgrade. I set up the upgrade to run overnight and when I came down the following morning stuck on activating ipad I went to the Apple shop with my Ipad 2 and they done a DFU restore but when I got it home while upgrading my apps the ipad suddenly restarted and went into checking the server to activate the ipad 2 and got stuck at this point again. I redone the DFU restore, after finding out how to do this, and everything went fine and the Ipad was fine, went online and purchased an app, no problem and then at the same point when I went to apply updates to my existing apps...BANG! the same thing happened again. Once again I am stuck would someone please help in coming up with an solution to this problem
