Hey everyone! I just dug up an old iPad (might be a mini from 2012?) and want to set it up so my son can see the date and time on his desk. The problem is, when I try to get it online, I keep getting an error saying, "your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is unreachable." I can't do anything beyond that, which is super frustrating! All I want is to access some basic settings to display the date and time without having to log into anything or deal with Apple services. Can anyone guide me on how to make this work?

If you can get into the Settings app somehow, you might try manually setting the date and time there. Just head to Settings > General > Date & Time. But I’m guessing you’re having trouble actually reaching that part due to the activation issue.
That’s the issue! I can’t even access Settings because of the activation page blocking me. I’m stuck!
