If you’re dealing with a frozen iPad, here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:
-
Force Restart Your iPad:
- If your iPad has a Home button, simultaneously press and hold the power button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears in the center of your iPad’s display.
- For iPads without a Home button, press and quickly release the volume up button, then the volume down button, and finally, press and hold the top button until the device restarts.
-
Check Your Hardware and Charge Your Device:
- If your iPad doesn’t turn on after the force restart, connect it to a computer.
- On a Mac with macOS Catalina, open the Finder; on macOS Mojave or earlier, or on a PC, open iTunes.
- Locate your device and follow the steps based on your iPad model:
- For iPads without a Home button, repeat the volume button sequence from step 1.
- For iPads with a Home button, press and hold both the Home button and the top button until you see the recovery mode screen. Choose “Update” if prompted.
-
Additional Tips:
- Charge your iPad for up to an hour if it doesn’t turn on initially.
- Close any apps that might be causing the freeze.
- Consider resetting settings (if possible) or backing up your iPad after resolving the issue to prevent future data loss
hope that helps!
