Hello LaCasona,


It looks like you've had the opportunity to review the details in the related article above: How to reset your AirTag - Apple Support


Let's start by making sure the device you are using to set up your AirTag meets the requirements below:


• An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 or later and two-factor authentication turned on
Find My turned on.
• Bluetooth turned on.
• A strong Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
• Location Services turned on: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.


You can also find those requirements in this resource: Set up your AirTag using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If your device meets those requirements, you'll want to take the additional steps below from that resource:


1. If the setup animation disappeared, press the side button or Sleep/Wake button on your iPhone to put your device to sleep. Then wake and unlock your iPhone. Wait up to 15 seconds, and the animation should reappear. 
2. If you have multiple AirTags to set up, make sure that only one is near your device at one time.
3. Remove and then replace the battery in your AirTag.* 

* Warning: AirTag, the battery cover, and the battery might present a choking hazard or cause other injury to small children. Keep these items away from small children.


Hopefully those steps put you on the path to getting your AirTag set up.


Take care.
