Ipad setup

Hello, I’m stuck setting up my new IPad. “Hello” comes up, accepts my new password and then all I get is a fuzzy coloured screen, no menus. Can’t do a thing. Clearly I made an error transferring the data. Any suggestions as to how I fix this? Thanks.

iPad bootlooping after I tried to update it via Finder on my MacBook Hi! I have an 8th gen iPad 10.2 and I tried to update it to 16.2 recently via Finder on my MacBook (since it was throwing up failed-to-download errors via Software Update in Settings, it has 10GBs of free space so that shouldn't be an issue for a ~1GB update) and as soon as it started to prepare to update after extracting the files, the iPad just started bootlooping. It goes from the white Apple logo to the Recovery splash screen for a split second and then shuts down. This loops over and over until I unplug it from my Mac. I've tried updating and restoring my iPad with different cables, different Macs, and PCs and nothing has worked. I tried to restore it via DFU but that didn't work either, it just resulted in the same bootloop. I've had this issue earlier where it was resolved by using a USB-A to Lightning cable (not the USB-C to Lightning cable that comes in the box) but I don't have that anymore. I don't assume this is a normal thing everyone has to do do just to restore an iPad, is there anyone else who's had the same issue? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, I figured out how to shut it down and start over. It’s all good now ;)
