Q: Apples's Server activation lock paper.

I am not worthy.

I found this link posted from another regular contributor, CC Chitlins.

I do not know who found this Apple knowledgebase article first, before all of us.

I was early at this article - turned onto it by an ES-ASC user around noon my time

No regional translations > https://support.apple.com/es-mx/HT206203 for example is in English

thanks for the props, Michel... I could dig up the user in ES-ASC if it matters - where that user found it is a miracle by any measure - without fanfare is Apple's way of publishing a fix without "taking blame"

Let's hope this is a prelude to a plain ole fix on the Apple Server end

I just found this in another post regarding a response more than just the support document we have seen. http://www.imore.com/apple-working-ios-93-fix-older-iphone-ipad

Apple has apparently pulled the update for older devices.

Ooops! Gotta reed ahead of my emails!

You"re Welcome!

If it wasn't for finding the certain post and your specific thread reply, I wouldn't have ever known about this.

I think this is a very sneaky and underhanded way for Apple to NOT take real, full responsibility for their own software roll out S.N.A.F.U.

Post a temporary fix for an specific OS glitch/issue in their own knowledge base articles and let as few users/people know about it as possible.

Very poor move and customer service and consideration on Apple's part.

Very poor indeed!

I have said it once already (in fear of getting POOFed), but IMHO, this article shoulda been PINNED to the top of every page in place of the ANNOUNCEMENT that is there now!

My kilt feels a draft of smoke blowing up it

I was surprised to read about this in iMore. It is now all over the web.

You're welcome. You'll like this one.  iPad 2, wifi + cellular cannot be activated after iOS 9.3 update

YIKES!

a miracle that the thread has not gone POOF!
