My ipad keeps saying activation required . When I try to activate it does nothing else since it does not allow me to get past that. Im directed to the internet however i cant get past that either.what do i do?
iPad 2, iOS 7.1.2
I solved it on my iPad 2!
The issue was a had a old SIM card inserted from years ago. I took that out and the activation proceeded perfectly.
Big thanks to the people who suggested connecting it to iTunes because when it was plugged in to my laptop and it failed to activate, there was a pop up that suggested checking the sim was inserted correctly. No conspiracy this time! Hopefully this helps everyone else
My Ipad 2 came up with the same message last night. Has anyone had a reply from Apple?
I was having this very issue, and came to your comment, did what you had done and BAM! Thank you so much, my iPad is up and running!
Activation required on mini iPad it was working before but I have not used it for awhile and now it’s not working
My 7 year old ipad 2 had same activation issue being discussed above. Took out old ATT sim card which hasn’t been activated since 2014 and rebooted, but it wanted me to put the card back in so I did but no joy. Plugged into itunes on laptop and then it allowed me to go through the activation process and is now back to normal.
