iPad Setup
- Unbox your iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard.
- Press the power button on the top right-hand corner of your device to start setup.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your device, making sure to select 'Set Up Manually'.
- Sign into Bowdoin’s device enrollment login with your Bowdoin username/password. Your username is the portion of your email address before the @ symbol.
- Select Don’t Transfer Apps & Data at the Apps & Data screen. Apps and data can be downloaded once you sign into iCloud but restoring from a backup will lock your iPad.
- Once you've reached the Home screen, the initial setup is complete. Check below for steps to set up accessories and apps.
If you have trouble during setup, you may create a ticket online. Someone will respond during our normal working hours.
If your iPad does not power on correctly, even after charging it for a short time, contact the Service Desk as soon as you can at (207) 725-3030 or servicedesk@bowdoin.edu. There is a 72-hour window from the time an iPad is delivered to report any unit that is not working upon arrival to its final destination.
