iPad Setup, “iPad Unavailable,” & Activation Issues—DallasFixTech Diagnostic & Repair

If your iPad is stuck in a setup loop, shows “iPad Unavailable”, or won’t sign in, the cause isn’t always Activation Lock. DallasFixTech provides thorough diagnostics to identify the real issue and present a clear, legitimate path forward.

Common Symptoms We Diagnose

     
  • Setup loops after updates or restores
  •  
  • “iPad Unavailable” or too many passcode attempts
  •  
  • Activation or Apple ID sign-in errors
  •  
  • Wi-Fi, battery, or storage problems interfering with setup

Our Diagnostic & Repair Approach

     
  1. Comprehensive Check: Battery health, storage integrity, Wi-Fi/antenna function, buttons/ports, and OS integrity.
  2.  
  3. Non-destructive Troubleshooting: Safe restore attempts, cable/port verification, and update checks.
  4.  
  5. Clear Estimate: If repairs are needed (battery, display, charge port, etc.), we’ll quote options before any work.
  6.  
  7. Activation Guidance: If Activation Lock is genuinely involved, we’ll outline the proper Apple path and help with documentation—no bypassing.

FAQs

Q: Can you help if I forgot my Apple ID password?
A: We’ll point you to Apple’s official account recovery and ensure your device is ready for setup after you regain access.

Q: I bought a used iPad and it’s locked. What now?
A: Ask the seller to remove it from their iCloud account. If that’s not possible, gather your receipt/bill of sale and we’ll help you prepare the documentation Apple requires.

Q: Do you keep my device data?
A: No. We handle devices to protect your privacy and only retain service records as needed for warranty and support.
