Troubleshooting Dreambox on an iPad

This guide addresses common issues with accessing Dreambox on student iPads, specifically focusing on app installation failures and login problems with ClassLink QuickCards.

Dreambox requires the specific app to be installed on the iPad to work with ClassLink. If the app is missing, the login process will fail. You must use Classlink to access Dreambox in the students SSO.


Prerequisite: Verify App Installation

The Dreambox app is a high-priority download and should automatically appear on the main iPad layout.

  • Check the Home Screen: Look for the Dreambox icon on the main screen.

  • Missing App? If the icon is not present or it’s not loading, the download failed. This is the likely cause of login issues. Please proceed to the Re-installing the App section.

  3. Launch Dreambox: Once inside the SSO, tap the Dreambox icon.
