Try to fix it by restore it to factory default in itunes w/ FW 4.3.3. smothly. but alwasy came out with white cable pointed to itunes logo. It automatic restarted and back to those logo again and again. i assume a recovery loop mode.

Itunes only recognize "we are sorry, we are unable to continou with your activation at this time...."

Have you tried completing the restore WITHOUT the SIM card at all? iTunes will try to activate any device with a SIM card installed, so if AT&T is not available in your location you may well have a problem... Give it a try without and see how you get on...

iTunes will think the iPad is in USA with AT&T sim so with that inside and you activating Indonesia it will not work through iTunes with that sim. Like previous post, try without sim in. A clean restore to 4.3.3. Also is your iTunes up to date?

I have the exact same problem with my iPad, and it doesn't use a simcard, it's just a wifi. I tried many methods and keep getting that screen on my ipad, along with this other message on my itunes.
