Stuck setting up new iPad for child.

I'm having the same issues except it's got stuck on the "What content can <child's name> access?" screen. I press "Update Restrictions" and nothing happens - it won't progress. Very frustrating - imagine buying a brand new iPad 10th Gen for Apple prices and you've turned it on for the first time to set up for your 9 year old kid and you can't even get through the initial setup flows... Terrible UX.

Has anyone figured out how to get past the what contact can my child access? It will not let me go forward and I can’t even go backwards.

Yep same for me! The up down volume power didn’t work.

im stuck on the “what content can @$$&/$(( can access. Smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

I found a solution that seems to work. Doing a hard reset did not fix it, and I kept getting stuck at the "update restrictions screen." However, if you hold the power button (not to do a reset), a little mini-menu pops up. The menu has options such as "Start over," which will do an erase and reset. I did that, and this time it let me get through the process.

figured it out. Check and clear the notifications on the parents phone.

This fixed it for me, thanks for sharing.

Sorry this is happening but honestly this is so lame by Apple! After i did a hard restart , it’s getting stuck in restrictions page. Already regretting my purchase.

Happy Holiday! Were you able to resolve your issue? I’m facing the same issue.

Same, I am stuck on the restrictions screen.

Thank you this advise helped me get through a step

This is what finally worked for me, after I tried the setup like 10 times:

1. Setup the iPad for myself (guardian of the apple family account)
2. Update the software of the iPad (not sure if this was really necessary, but for completeness, it's what I did)
3. Sign out of my icloud account on the ipad (Settings, tap on my name, scroll down, log out)
4. Sign in again, and when asked say that you setup the iPad for you child. You are then asked for your parents Apple-ID and subsequently the child you want the iPad to setup

Hope this works for you, too.

did find out how to move forward? I am

having the same issue. Thank you

Hello everyone.

I have an idea:

Set up the device without parental controls and then add them after the device has been set up.

What notification needed to be cleared?
