IPad set up for iPad Air 5th gen

None of the set up options are working but they have wifi. I have made sure my phone is up to date and has Bluetooth as well. Setting up manually has been a problem too. As I have clicked the blue access button and set up manually it does not allow it. It would not even allow me to power it off.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

Hello roliver54,


The steps in this article can help you set up your iPad: Turn on and set up iPad - Apple Support


Prepare for setup
To make setup as smooth as possible, have the following items available:
An internet connection through a Wi-Fi network (you may need the name and password of the network) or cellular data service through a carrier (Wi-Fi + Cellular models)
Your Apple ID and password; if you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one during setup
Your credit or debit card account information, if you want to add a card to Apple Pay during setup
Your previous iPad or a backup of your device, if you’re transferring your data to your new device
Tip: If you don’t have sufficient storage space to back up your device, iCloud will grant you as much as you need to complete a temporary backup, free of charge, for up to three weeks from the purchase of your iPad. On your previous device, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [device]. Tap Get Started, then follow the onscreen instructions.


Turn on and set up your iPad
1. Press and hold the top button until the Apple logo appears.
A green arrow pointing to the button in the top right of iPad.
If iPad doesn’t turn on, you might need to charge the battery. For more help, see the Apple Support article If your iPad won’t turn on or is frozen.
Do one of the following:
Tap Set Up Manually, then follow the onscreen setup instructions.
If you have another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 11, iPadOS 13, or later, you can use Quick Start to automatically set up your new device. Bring the two devices close together, then follow the onscreen instructions to securely copy many of your settings, preferences, and iCloud Keychain. You can then restore the rest of your data and content to your new device from your iCloud backup.
Or, if both devices have iOS 12.4, iPadOS 13, or later, you can transfer all your data wirelessly from your previous device to your new one. Keep your devices near each other and plugged into power until the migration process is complete.
You can also transfer your data using a wired connection between your devices. See the Apple Support article Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
During setup, if you’re blind or have low vision, you can triple-click the Home button (on an iPad with a Home button) or triple-click the top button (on other iPad models) to turn on VoiceOver, the screen reader. You can also double-tap the screen with three fingers to turn on Zoom. See Get started with accessibility features on iPad.


Best Regards.
