What should I do if my iPad is at the Welcome Setup Screen?
The instructions for setting up the iPad are as follows:
Select Language -> English
Select Country -> United States
Select “Set Up Manually”
Select your WiFi and connect to it, click “Next” in the top right if the screen does not automatically proceed.
Data & Privacy - > Continue
Remote Management – Select “Next” on the top right of the screen
Location Services (If asked) – Enable Location Services
If the screen goes black and shows an Apple logo with a loading bar, this is normal and the iPad is loading up, it may take a few moments. The apps should start installing from here on their own without you needing to do anything, but could take some time to fully install, so please be patient as it pushes them out and check back later. If your student has a login for the iPad itself, please log the student in. It will take a few moments to load their profile.
Please keep the iPad on and charging during this process!
