Updating icloud settings stuck

I just got an iPad. I created a new icloud account and verified it. Now the Ipad read updating icloud settings. I left it alone for 8 hours thinking I would wait out the update. But this seems excessive. Now what?

If the process has stalled, you have no alternative than to perform a forced restart of your iPad:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




Note:  If iPad still doesn’t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t turn on or is frozen. Or if your iPad isn’t working correctly after you restart it, see the iPad Support website.
