As technology continues to play an increasingly important role in education, many students are using iPads to access MobyMax for their studies. To ensure that these devices function optimally, it is crucial to make sure that JavaScript is enabled and cookies are allowed on each iPad. 

JavaScript is a programming language that enables interactive elements on websites, such as quizzes or videos. Without JavaScript enabled, many educational resources may not function as intended, leading to a suboptimal learning experience.

Cookies, on the other hand, are small pieces of data that websites store on a user's device to remember their preferences and settings. Allowing cookies ensures that students can seamlessly access educational resources without needing to repeatedly enter login credentials or other settings.

By taking just a few moments to confirm these settings, educators and students can optimize the learning experience on iPads and ensure that students can fully access the wealth of educational resources available online.

Verifying JavaScript is enabled:

  1. From the iPad home screen, tap on the "Settings" button.
  2. Scroll down and select "Safari."
  3. Tap the option for "Advanced" at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Use the slider bar to ensure that JavaScript is turned "On."


Verifying cookies are allowed:

  1. From the iPad home screen, tap on the "Settings" button.
  2. Scroll down and select "Safari."
  3. Scroll down to where it says "Block All Cookies."
  4. Make sure this is turned off. If you are using iOS 11, toggle the slider off. If you are using iOS 8-10, choose "Always Allow."
  5. If you are using a version of iOS before iOS 8, you may need to select "Never."


Clearing website and history data:

  1. From the iPad home screen, tap on the "Settings" button.
  2. Scroll down and select "Safari."
  3. Scroll and select "Clear History and Website Data" at the bottom.


By following these steps, you can ensure that JavaScript is enabled, cookies are allowed, and website and history data are cleared on your students' iPads. Apple Communities is also a great way to stay connected to common iPad issues and troubleshooting steps. If you encounter any further issues or have any questions, please reach out to your school's technical support team for assistance.
