2) The first step in creating

an Apple ID is verifying

date of birth. It is

essential that the

parent’s date of birth is

entered at this point. This

will enable the Apple ID

to be verified. Then tap

“Next”.

3) Insert the name to be associated with

the Apple ID. Then tap “Next”.

4) Select “Use your current email

address”. This is the email address

that Apple will associate with the

Apple ID. Then tap “Next”.

5) Insert the email address to be

associated with the Apple ID. This

email address is to be the parents

email address. Then tap “Next”.

6) We strongly advise to create a

password not known by the

students - by law access to an

Apple ID is to be held only by

individuals above the age of 13.

7) Select a three security

questions by tapping on the

“Choose a question”.

8) The three answers given must

be remembered by parents. It

is not uncommon that Apple

may ask you for these answers

at some point to verify your

identity.

9) Tap “Accept” in the bottom right of the screen to

agree to the Terms and Conditions.

10) Tap “Use iCloud” . iCloud allows for

the data kept on the iPad associated

with apps to be backed up online on

Apples servers.

11) It is required that all students have a 4

digit passcode on their iPads. This 4 digit

passcode will be used by the student

when ‘unlocking’ the device out of sleep

mode. This passcode should be unique

and we recommend avoiding easy

passcodes like “1234” and the student’s

year of birth. The iPad will prompt you if

too easy of a passcode is entered. It is

very important the student remembers

this unique passcode as the passcode

effectively locks any user out of the

device if forgotten.

“This passcode should be

unique and we recommend

avoiding easy passcodes

like “1234” and the

student’s year of birth. The

iPad will prompt you if too

easy of a passcode is

entered.”

Congratulations!

At this point the iPad will be set up for use. We recommend students set some time aside to get

familiar with their iPads basic functions.
