Stuck setting up new iPad for child.

Been having this issue since Christmas. Bought my daughter a new ipad mini, trying to set it up for her but when I use the quick connect feature on my phone we can't get past the "Signing in For..." screen. Just stalls out. Done several hard resets on booth my phone and ipad...nothing. If I since in on the ipad works fine, just can't seem to set it up for my daughter.

This just worked for me! 6/17/24 Thank you for sharing

What just worked for you? What did you do to move forward?

Thank you for this I was having the same problem now I have been able to sort it thanks to seeing your comment

I am having the same issue for my child’s iPhone. It’s so frustrating and not sure how to move past it!

It’s just the ditto thing happened to my sons iPad aswell which I just bought as a Christmas gift 🎁

Thanks, i wasted more than an hour before reading and get this fix.

Hello,

Going on week #2 on trying to setup an iPad for my child. After waiting the 14 day grace period to reset my password we are waiting at the age verification screen.

It's been rough 30 minutes. As someone who has worked we the Mac for 20+ years at work I can't believe the utter hassle of trying to set up an iPad.

Hello.

I'm clueless as to why, but the Apple servers are probably very active as it is Christmas Day and thousands are trying to set up their new devices.

I would suggest waiting until tomorrow to see if the issue persists.

Merry Christmas,

I had to go back to factory settings and when it gets to the part where you set up the restrictions for age etc. just skip for now. You can set them up later but this was the only thing that worked for me, took 3 times of restarting on my 10 y/o new iphone 15 :(

Idk

Is there stuff that doesn’t want to be deleted on the device

if not this might help

idk

Me as well, this is strange.

This just happened to me as well. I originally set up the iPad manually and got stuck on this screen. Then I decided to restart the iPad and set it up using my iPhone and I did not get stuck on the passcode screen.

I was able to get through the screen by clicking the main button and selecting "start over" and then going through all of the steps without modifying any of the restriction settings or screen time recommendations.

If the transfer/setup process has stalled, you may need to restart both iPads:

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:

1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
3. Press and hold the top button.
4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.

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.
