Some users reported success using this method to reach Apple's activation servers and cleared up the Activation Required issue. Use Typesy, have fun, and earn Typesy Points. Whether or not you have a Wifi ONLY iPad or cellular data iPad, another solution posted is have you tried connecting your iPad to iTunes on a computer (connected to the Internet, as well) per advice on the previous page of this post. Older iPad models have very old SIM cards in them and IF the cellulsr data service has been changed, discontinued or hasn’t been used much over the lifespan of the device, this Activation Required message may happen. If you have a cellular data iPad, have you tried opening the SIM card tray on the long side of your iPad and removing the SIM card, then try a hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons to see if the Activation Required goes away. There are plenty of possible solutions here in this posting.ĭid you read the entire post and try all of the various advice and solutions? I hope this helps someone, including Apple who should have fixed this by now. I half expected it to come up with a blank home screen, but happily, it looked just the same as it did an hour or two ago. It also wanted a 4 digit number associated with iCloud, but one option was just to reset all iCloud (something) which I did. This could have been before or after it asked for iCloud setup - I would skip the iCloud stuff if it happened again, and, yes, that is an option.

Once I got the message that the authentication server was not reachable, but the next time it went on to say I needed a two step verification, please enter a phone number for a text or call with a code. Click the iPad that needs to be unlocked.

#Typesy ipad app does not ask for activation code password
After trying that network several times, it finally asked for my Apple ID and password, with a hint about my email address. Here's what they need to do: Sign in to iCloud with the Apple ID username and password originally used to activate the iPad (and which the iPad is locked with). It first asked to join a wifi network and seemed to remember the one I had been using, but did not continue. It has been somewhat flaky recently, changing to the Apple logo randomly, but this time it came back saying activation required. This just happened to me on my very old iPad 2 which I have owned since it was new.
