It MIGHT ask you to select a network. Select MDS-student, then login as usual.
Start using your iPad
Find the UTILITIES folder.
2. Meraki setup
Inside UTILITIES, open up the Meraki SM app.
If it says “Enrolled in All iPads” you are done!
If it asks you to select from a list of things, select “All iPads”.
If there is a field up top where you can type something, type this in [no spaces]
016 989 9899
Then click “Enroll”. There will be a series of dialogue boxes. In EACH one click the button that tells it YES or START or ENROLL – use your common sense!
Eventually you’ll see a webpage saying “waiting to enroll”. When you do, go home, and back to the Utilities folder.
3. Settings –> Email
Click Email
Setup NEW account
Click GOOGLE
Type in your Name, email address, password, description {I suggest MDS for the description}
Click NEXT
If all four items in the next screen are Green, click SAVE. [If not, make ’em green.]
4. Settings –> iCloud [CAN be done later – this sets up the auto-backup feature.]
Click iCloud
Sign in with your AppleID
Password SHOULD be same as moodle/email.
If moodle password does NOT have at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, AND one number:
If missing case – they were supposed to switch the case of the first letter in their password.
If missing number, they were supposed to add 1970 to the end of their password.
If it doesn’t work/they can’t remember it –> Click “Forgot AppleID/password”, and select the EMAIL option. [They probably don’t remember the answers to their security questions. If they do they can try that option.]
If it DOES work, you’ll see the iCloud settings screen.
OFF: mail, Find my Ipad
ON: whatever else [though Notes will require yet another setup process]
Click “Storage and Backup” button
Click “Backup Now” button.
At the end of the video I take about 30 seconds [NOT minutes like I say in the video!] to mention a few apps that are on their ipads now.
The text quicknotes version – SOME of the first few items may not show up on your iPad.:
First, check your Moodle password. Did you have to modify it to create an AppleID?
Moodle password:
UPPER AND lower case?
Number?
If Not:
UPPER AND lower case? →→→→→→ Changed the 1st letter to the other case
Number? →→→→→→ Added 1970 to the end
START
Set language
Set Region
Choose network – sign in
Click DONE
Next
ENABLE location services
Restore from iCloud Backup
Type in username & Password
Generally mds email address and Moodle password
EXCEPTION 1: if the moodle password does NOT have at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number, then:
if missing one case or the other: the FIRST letter was changed to the ‘other’ case
if missing a number. 1970 was added at the end of the moodle password
EXCEPTION 2: some 7th grade students have “temp” AppleIDs [i.e. tech+1@mds…..]. They are listed in the “Names and iPads” Google Doc. Password is Cavaliers1871
Terms and Conditions→ AGREE
“It may take a few minutes”
DO NOT select “Restore from iTunes” as an option
Sign in with your AppleID.
NEXT
AGREE to terms and conditions [yes, again. Because the lawyers said so!]
YES, use iCloud
NO, do not use “Find my ipad”
Passcode – your option. If you forget it, though, it will either be massively inconvenient or disastrous for your data. We won’t know which option until it happens.
