go to one of your other devices signed into iCloud to approve this ipad

Keeps asking me to go to one of your other devices signed into iCloud to approve this ipad I go into icloud and other devices and cannot see where to approve. It shows up in icloud as a device that is not online. This happened after an upgrade.

Greetings, CowboyTJ.


I see that you're trying to sign into iCloud on your iPad, but you've run into a snag. It requires a verification code, but you can't locate where to get one. I'm happy to help.


Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication

Get a code from Settings on your trusted device

If you can’t receive a verification code on your trusted devices automatically, you can get one from Settings, even if your device is offline.

From your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

In iOS 10.3 or later:

  1. Go to Settings > [your name].
  2. Tap Password & Security > Get Verification Code.

In iOS 10.3 or later, if your device is offline:

  1. Go to Settings > [your name].
  2. Tap Password & Security.
  3. A message says "Account Details Unavailable." Tap Get Verification Code.

In iOS 10.2 or earlier:

  1. Go to Settings > iCloud.
  2. Tap your Apple ID username.
  3. If your device is offline, tap Get Verification Code. If your device is online, tap Password & Security > Get Verification Code.

From your Mac:

  1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
  2. Click Account Details.
  3. If your device is offline, click Get Verification Code. If your device is online, click Security > Get Verification Code.
