Troubleshoot Your iPad: Restart

If you recharge your iPad and it still misbehaves, freezes up, or won't work right, the next thing to try in troubleshooting is restarting it. Just as restarting a computer often fixes problems, restarting your iPad sometimes works wonders.


Usually, all Apple’s iOS devices — namely the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch — are fairly reliable. But every so often, a good iPad might just go bad. It won’t be a common occurrence, but it does happen occasionally.


What kind of bad things could happen? Well, they may be problems involving



  • Frozen or dead iPads



  • Wireless networks



  • Synchronization of computers (both Mac and PC) or iTunes




Follow these simple steps to restart your iPad:



  1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.



  2. When the red slider appears, slide it to turn off the iPad and then wait a few seconds.



  3. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until the Apple logo appears on the screen.



  4. If your iPad is still frozen, misbehaves, or doesn’t start, press and hold the Home button for 6 to 10 seconds to force any frozen applications to quit.



  5. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 again.




If these steps don’t get your iPad back up and running, move on to the third R, resetting your iPad. The seven steps for troubleshooting your iPad are: Recharge, Restart, Reset your iPad, Remove your content, Reset settings and content, Restore, and Recovery mode.
