    Default Can't get past iPad activation screen, iPad activation blocked?

    Gurus, anyone aware of apple banning iPads from activating? got a shipment of original iPad 3G and only 3 were able to activate (go through the Language, Country, & activation screen).

    All others getting "we could not complete your iTunes store request, iTunes store is temporarily unavailable". Researched for hours, tried parental controls, etc…. I'm stumped….

    Are these banned from connecting to apple servers? something with UDID? please chime in.
    Thanks

    [09-24, 10:24] rokit8: all idevices show up in itunes, this one shows up and as soon as i click on it it shows a message accessing itunes store and then couldn't not complete itunes store request, store is temporarily unavailable

    [09-24, 10:26] rokit8: yes, tried different version of itunes on macs and windows
    [09-24, 10:27] _JiGaBu_: try simple steps, disconnect usb restart computer,
    [09-24, 10:27] _JiGaBu_: then try it again,
    [09-24, 10:28] rokit8: when i try to activate via WiFi, get a message 'Your ipad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting to itunes
    [09-24, 10:28] rokit8: bro, tried reconnect, dfu mode restore, etc - still the same
    [09-24, 10:30] rokit8: its running ios 5.1.1 and shows up in iPhone config utility but not in itunes

    your issue sounds like may be a proxy issue or possibly a device issue,for device issue try the following
    >Go to Main Menu .

    ->Tap on Settings.

    ->Tap on General Settings .

    ->Tap on Reset .

    ->Tap on Restore all content

    Also go to the general option and go to the ''manage application'' settings and clear the cache itunes apps and restart your device.

    diff versions of itunes you have tried would not matter unless you have totally cleaned your pc of all old itunes files,simply removing it will not do that.
    i would suggest to try to use one of the devices that "worked" and purchase something from the itunes store to rule out a network problem.
    report back and let me know if any of that worked

    Can't try anything on device because can't get past the activation screen.
    Just tried another laptop with a fresh install of windows and itunes - still the same.

    By the way, these may be international iPads. Also, it doesn't have a mini SIM card in the slot but it is not prompting to put one in.

    did you try to make a transaction thru itunes store on a working one from your location using your wifi?

    and do your ipads show the slide? or just the cable with no slide?

    I have a 4s running 5.0.1 connected to the same wifi, it does connect to iTunes and downloaded an app fine through app store.

    The ipad does have a 'Slide to setup', then select languagel, then country (has Taiwan as default), then wifi, then activating your iPad and error message that can't activate because activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting to itunes. I did and error 'We could not complete your itunes store request. The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.'

    All my years working with apple devices never seen anything like this.
