hello there!

I recently bought an ipad mini and its locked to LDS Church.
Can anyone direct me to the right people that administrate the configuration that will help me unlock this?
Im based in Dublin Ireland.

Thanks for reading!

A member in my ward had his son return from his mission and they bought the iPad through the ward, but it still needs to be unlocked. Is there a reference guide or instructions on how to pay that fee and who to pay it to? I'm not sure what the process is for missionaries that return with an iPad and processing payment through MLS. I am the Ward Clerk, so I'm trying to figure out how to facilitate this with this missionary and for future missionaries that come home.

A returned missionary and I went through all the phone calls and steps recommended by various departments in headquarters. The solution ended up with taking it to the Apple Store where they reset the operating system. He didn't loose any documents or photos. This is the only thing that worked.

Our son returned from his mission but misplaced the instructions he was provided to "unlock" it. A reset does not work. We need a phone number or something to resolve this issue.

Ask your ward clerk to help you contact the Global Service Center.

Does anyone have more information on who to contact? I've gotten a few of these requests. I've been sending them to the Global Service Center. I don't know if anyone has gotten their iPad unlocked by contacting them. Any reports of success?
