Setting up my new HomePod mini Hello, I am trying to set up my new HomePod mini with my iPhone, but when I hit Setup Botton on the popup box of HomePod mini, it asks for signing in with my iTunes and activating Two-factor authentication (I attached a screenshot), which I already did. How can I fix this problem? Thank you

Homepod Mini I am trying to setup my mini, and it is telling me "to continue, set up the following on your iphone" "two factor authentication" and "sign in to itunes". Both of these are already done. I have two factor on, and am signed into itunes. But the setup will not go past this. How do I fix this problem or complete the setup instructions?

problems setting up homepod mini Hello, I bought a HomePod mini for a friend, visited them to set it up and ran into problems. The problem: When setting up new HomePod mini with an iPad 5th Gen (iPadOS 15.6.1, up to date), I get the following message: "To continue, set up the following on your iPhone. Two-factor Authentication, Sign into iTunes" The iPhone in question is an iPhone 6. Apple states the minimum requirement for HomePod mini setup is iPhone 6S. Two-factor authentication is On. And I have signed into the iTunes Store , signed up for an Apple Music subscription (6 months free trial). I tried signing out of iCloud on the iPhone, to try and remove it from the setup process, but I can't remember if I restarted it (as mentioned elsewhere). Perhaps not. When attempting setup again, the iPad continued to prompt me to continue setup on the iPhone, even though I had signed out of iCloud. My questions are: Shouldn't I be able to set up the HomePod with the iPad alone? When I return to my friends house, if I sign out of iCloud / iTunes Store on the iPhone 6, and restart the iPhone, is this likely to work / is this the accepted, proven fix? Any thoughts, insights much appreciated.
