- Is your iPad Pro (11/12.9 inch, 2018, 3rd gen) showing ‘Unable to Activate’ error while setting it up? Your iPad got stuck on ‘Wait a few minutes to activate’ screen. In this video we will show you how you can fix 'Unable to Activate' error on iPad Pro or iPad Pro stuck in 'Waiting to Activate iPad'.
This Unable to Activate problem usually occurs due to Internet connection problems or if Apple server is down for some reason, or some software issues. If it is happening because of Internet, you have to connect it to a better connection. And if the server is down, in that you have to wait a little. Or you can do a soft reset to fix minor software problems. - Навчання та стиль

Hi Danna 17, You're welcome! Thanks for the complement. Glad the video was helpful.
thank u sm this helped me!!
Hi MintxxSarah~, You are most welcome. Glad it helped!
As far as I can tell this is unlikely to work in this form.
My sim wasn't working after an update so I reset my ipad. I reinstalled 15.5 several times to no avail. Then I downgraded to the previous OS using itunes....that didn't work. Finally I re upgraded it to the current OS (using itunes) and this time it not only worked but also fixed the sim card issue. It appears my 2nd hand ipad pro had maintained a bug that only downgrading and then upgrading the OS could fix....a factory reset did nothing. A basic issue like this would be fixed in 2 mins in windows, linux and android.....on an apple device, 6 hours
Do you have any UA-cam video links for the method you have done? I would like to restore my iPad mini2. I am the first owner and haven't used it for 3 years. It just sat in the box with full charge. I was going to give to a friend but that never happened. When turned on, I was shown with this activation failed screen
Even after restore still unable to activate.
Will it lose data ?
hey i have a ipad air 2,willm this work?
Hi Nasiruddin hider Chowdhury, You have to make sure you have a good internet connection, and If your iPad is stuck You need to put it in recovery mode. The Process is little different to Put a older model iPad in recovery mode, but other than that, this process will work.
Ya my ipad seem problem bat after i chenged seriyal nomber befor seem probel
Does this work in ipad mini 4? I powered off my ipad then the message"unable to activate' showed up. I was panicking so I searched this up on UA-cam. Luckily I have a loptop but its not mac but I'm going to try anyways
Hi Kaori-san, the ways should work on iPad mini 4. But the DFU Mode is little different.
@@AppleTricksOfficial oh ok I actually didn't do it yet cuz One wrong move could potentially destroy my ipad, thanks for the reply👍
Very clear video easy to follow but didn’t work for Me still won’t activate 😩
Hi BebopRC, This problem mainly happens due to lack of internet connection, You can make sure your your PC is connected to a strong Internet connection, Then try the process again it should fix the issue.
I done it but i clicked update in place of restore and it didnt worked. can i do the process again ?
Hi abhilash L, Yes, sometimes it take 3-5 tries to fix the issue.
Can i connect to my laptop (not macbook) ?
Hi sandra Pagaddu, Yes, simply install iTunes in your Windows laptop, sign in with your Apple ID and password, then you can do the process.
You need to install it using microsoft store
Did not work
Will the soft reset get rid of apps and data?
Hi Noodle, No, soft reset won't erase Data.

The iPad doesn’t show on my Mac when it is on restore mode
Hi Caiz Quest, If your your Mac is running on macOS Catalina o Later, then you need to check the sidebar of your finder, if it is not there, disconnect the devices, restart your Mac and connect the iPad again. It should fix the issue.
@@AppleTricksOfficial Can I connect it to my android instead of PC?
It won’t work on my iPad mini 4
Hi Darek Gronowski, Remove the device from PC, wait a bit then make sure you have a good internet connection and start the process again. It can fix the issue.

Hi Lalhmingsena Sena, If you are having this error on iPhone 7 Plus, you would need to Update and restore the iPhone from DFU recovery mode. It should fix the issue.

Hi SDACH Reachsey, This problem maily happens due to lack of Internet, First mae sure you have proper internet, then try the process again, it should fix it.
Doesn’t work
Hi Mex Can Drone, Check if you have proper internet connection or not. Most of the time, if you have a strong connection, the problem is fixed. If it is not the problem, try the process again, because, some times it takes more than one try.
Did you ever figure it out?
@@mexcandrone your just mexican that’s why
Press and hold the side mı button?! Power button is not "side button" it is the top one
But I don’t have a PC
Hi Rayan Plays, This problem mainly happens due to lack of network, try changing WiFi if possible, it should fix the issue. But if it is stuck, you would need to DFU restore it with PC, its not possible without PC right now.
