my ipad could not be activated because activation server cannot be reached
iPad pro 9.7 inch
memory 128 GB
iOS 11
I received this message ; iPad could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached.
I tried to updated throw iTunes several times but give the same result
iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 11
I got initial info from the link below from another post. I downloaded iCloud for Windows and opened it with my Apple ID. I then ran FIND My IPhone with my iPad on and connected to my PC. It brought up an Activation login on the iPad. I entered my ID and Password. It asked for my password a second time and my iPad came back to life!
(I originally tried Find My iPhone from my phone and i was still logged in, but I don't think that affected the outcome at all.)
Good luck. Let me know if it works.
