Trying to set up a new iPad, but it won’t let me download my iCloud data in the initial setup. And, I can’t close out of the screen that says, “It may take a few minutes to set up your Apple ID.” This message has been displayed a long time. Please help?
iPad mini 6
If the setup process has stalled, you’ll have no alternative than to force-restart the iPad:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
After restart, you should be able to continue with the setup process.

Thank you so much! It now is working!
You’re very welcome.
