Apple ID set up stuck on load screen
What do I do if the screen has “ it may take a few minutes to set up your Apple ID “ it has been on the screen for 3 hours and it won’t let me restart my phone
Try a forced restart and then try the set up again.
I assume that you have an iPhone 8 or newer, but just in case, here are instructions for all iPhone models.
- iPhone 8 or later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
- iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPod touch (7th generation): Press and hold both the Top (or Side) button and the Volume Down buttons until you see the Apple logo.
- iPad with Home button, iPhone 6s or earlier, and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons until you see the Apple logo.
