The most common iPad problems, and how to fix them

Tyler Lacoma

Apple’s iPad remains one of the best tablets on the market. Apple has sold well over 350 million worldwide, and there are currently a number of different models to choose from. While these tablets are certainly well-engineered pieces of digital machinery, they are not immune to a few snags and glitches. We've taken a look at some of the most prevalent iPad problems in an attempt to find workable solutions for them. Sometimes it will take more than a simple reset to get your iPad back in working order.

Problem: There are dead or stuck pixels on the iPad

Problem: the latest ipados isn’t installing on my ipad, problem: frozen screen, issue: ipad won’t turn on, glitch: itunes or finder doesn’t recognize ipad, problem: ipad won’t charge, issue: ipad won’t connect to wi-fi, glitch: ipad is running slow, problem: cellular data connection dropping, issue: ipad is randomly crashing, problem: your ipad battery is charging very slowly, problem: the apple pencil isn't working with my ipad, problem: your ipad is stuck in bootloops, what you need.

It can be frustrating if a pixel isn’t working on your iPad. You’ll first notice this as an unresponsive dot on the display that doesn’t change, or stays black no matter what happens. Sometimes there may be more than one pixel like this.

Possible solutions

  • If the pixel still lights up but is simply stuck or never goes to the right color, you can try manually fixing it yourself. Wrap your thumb in a clean cloth and apply gentle, firm pressure to the area of the display with the pixel, slowly moving your thumb as you do so. Sometimes this can help fix any issues the panel is experiencing.
  • Flashing bright, changing colors can also help reset a pixel. You can plenty of Pixel Fix videos on YouTube to run at full screen to help with this, or even find an app that does the same thing.
  • If the pixel is permanently dark no matter what you do, it’s dead. You cannot fix a dead pixel. If it’s a minor issue and not distracting, you can leave it. But it’s a good idea to take your iPad into an Apple Store and ask about a display replacement.

Eager to get the latest iOS/iPadOS updates and all the new features offered? You may discover that your iPad is obstinately refusing to download the update, even if it says it will or if it was scheduled to update at a specific time. Fortunately, this is usually due to not meeting specific requirements needed to update, not a permanent flaw on your iPad.

  • Double check to make sure your iPad is compatible with the latest versions of iPadOS. Check out our list of iPadOS 15 compatible devices and iPadOS 16 compatible devices .
  • Make sure your iPad battery has at least a 50% charge. To be safe, it’s a good idea to just plug your iPad in before you start a big update.
  • Make sure you are not using a cellular data connection for your internet. The iPad will not start such a big download when on a data connection to avoid using up cell data.
  • Check that Low Power Mode is turned off. If it’s accidentally enabled, the update probably won’t work.
  • Disable your VPN if you are using one. While you can whitelist sites on many VPNs, that doesn’t really work for downloading a software update straight from Apple, so disable it for this change, and turn it back on afterward.

You may find from time to time that your iPad screen freezes and remains unresponsive to your touch. It’s a common complaint at Apple’s support forum . The most likely culprit is a specific app, but it’s not always easy to identify which one. If it happens repeatedly, take note of what you have running and try uninstalling it to see if that solves the problem permanently. Whatever the cause, your immediate solutions to a frozen iPad screen are the same.

  • Try restarting your device first by pressing and holding the Power button until you see “slide to power off” on the screen, and then slide to power off. Press and hold the same button to turn it back on. You’ll know it worked when you see the Apple logo.
  • If the screen isn’t responding, you might need to force restart the device in which case you should press and hold the Power button and the Home button at the same time for around 10 seconds. You’ll know it worked when the Apple logo appears. For newer iPads without the Home button, press and quickly release the Volume Up button, press and quickly release the Volume Down button, and then press and hold the Power button until the device restarts.
  • If it stubbornly refuses to react to a restart or reset, then you’ll need to try a restore. Plug it into your computer using the cable provided. Load up iTunes on the computer, select your iPad, choose the Summary tab, and hit the Restore iPad button. This will erase your content, so you may prefer to choose Restore Backup on the Summary tab. Bear in mind that you’ll lose anything you haven’t backed up.

It’s a nightmare with any electronic device when it refuses to turn on at all. Don’t assume the worst, though, it may prove easy to revive. This is another common post in the Apple support forum .

  • Try holding down the Power button and the Home button together until you see the Apple logo. For newer iPads without the Home button, press and quickly release the Volume up button, press and quickly release the Volume down button, and then press and hold the Power button until the device restarts.
  • Maybe the battery is just empty. Plug the iPad into the wall charger using the original cable and charger that came in the box and wait an hour before trying the first step again.
  • If your iPad turns on but gets stuck during startup, then plug it into your computer with iTunes running and repeat step one, except this time, don't let go of the buttons when you see the Apple logo, keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen. You should get the option to Restore or Update . Choose Update and it will try to reinstall iOS without wiping your data.
  • If none of this works, then it's time to contact Apple or drop into an Apple Store if you're able to.

Some people have reported issues with plugging the iPad into the computer and booting up iTunes only to find that the iPad isn’t there. If iTunes or Finder isn’t recognizing your iPad then you can try a few things to solve the problem.

  • Check the battery icon on the iPad when you plug it into your computer. If it has a lightning bolt on it to denote charging or it says Not charging next to it then you know the port and the cable are working and you can move to the next solution. If it doesn’t, then try another port. If that doesn’t work, then try another cable.
  • (If you are running MacOS Catalina you can skip this as you'll be using Finder to interface with your iPad.) Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. If it’s on a PC then go to Help and then select Check for updates . If it’s on a Mac then hit the iTunes tab and select Check for updates . If you have the latest version or updating makes no difference, try the next solution.
  • Turn the iPad off. Turn the computer off. Turn them both back on again and plug the iPad back in. If you see a Trust this computer alert, unlock your device and tap Trust .
  • Still no joy? Take a look at Apple's support article for further suggestions on how to fix this glitch.

If you find that your iPad won’t charge when you plug it into a power adapter, there are a couple of possible reasons. If it doesn’t charge when you plug it into the computer, it may just be the port you are using, try the power adapter instead. You can see whether the USB port on your computer is charging it or not by looking at the battery icon on the iPad. If it is charging, you’ll see the lightning symbol; if not, it will say Not charging next to it. Some computer ports can’t provide enough juice to charge the iPad, and it will always charge more slowly via the computer, even if it does work.

  • You want to check if it’s the cable or power adapter itself so, if possible, try the cable and power adapter with another compatible device, or try a different power adapter and cable.
  • It's always worth rebooting your iPad to see if that helps.
  • Some people report success after turning on Airplane mode, so it's worth a try.
  • If the cable or power adapter is not the problem and nothing else has worked, then there could be a fault with the iPad and you’ll need to contact Apple, contact the retailer where you bought it, go into an Apple Store, or take it to a third party repair shop as the culprit could be a damaged battery, or a damaged charge port, both of which are repairable.

A lot of people have trouble connecting to Wi-Fi networks with their iPads. Before you start serious troubleshooting, you should check Settings > Wi-Fi on the iPad and make sure that it is turned on. It’s also worth making sure that Wi-Fi is accessible on another device.

  • There’s a reason IT departments the world over tell everyone to turn a device off and on again as a first troubleshooting step — because it so often works. Try turning off your iPad and router and then turn them both on again and wait a few seconds before trying to reconnect.
  • Try telling the iPad to forget the network in Settings by tapping the network name and selecting forget. Turn the iPad off and on again and then reconnect to the network and re-enter the details as necessary. You can also try Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings .
  • Make sure you have the latest iOS software by going to Settings > General > Software update . You should plug your iPad into the power adapter before updating. Older iPads can be updated via iTunes on the Summary tab via the Check for update option.
  • If your iPad still won’t connect then it’s worth checking with your ISP for help or advice. The problem could be related to your specific router. You might want to update the firmware or change the channel.
  • If nothing so far has worked, then you may consider trying to connect to a different Wi-Fi network with your iPad just to test if it works. If not, then it's time to contact Apple for further help.

If you find that your iPad is not its usual zippy self and you are experiencing some lag when you navigate, you can try a couple of fixes. You may just have too many things running.

  • Double-tap the Home button and swipe up on each open app or game to close it. If you have a newer iPad without the Home button, then swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen to open the recently used apps list.
  • You could also just reset the iPad by holding down the Power button and the Home button simultaneously for 10 seconds. For newer iPads without the Home button, press and quickly release the Volume up button, press and quickly release the Volume down button, and then press and hold the Power button until the device restarts.
  • You really need at least 2GB of free space for smooth operation, so take a look in Settings > General > iPad storage and check. You may need to delete some files or uninstall some apps. Some apps take up more and more space over time, so it can even be worth uninstalling and then reinstalling an app to clear it. You may also consider going to Settings > Safari and tapping Clear history and Website data , then Clear history and Data to clear out your cache, but this will also log you out of websites you've signed into.
  • As a last resort, you might try a factory reset . This will wipe everything though, so make sure you back up first. If you do a factory reset, test the iPad without restoring a backup just to see if it runs any better. If you subsequently restore a backup and it slows down again, then you'll know the issue is with something in the backup.

Quite a few iPad owners have been complaining about cellular data connections dropping frequently. Obviously, this will be seriously influenced by how good the coverage is in your area. If you have good coverage on the same network with your phone, but the iPad is struggling, you could try a couple of things. First, check in Settings > General > Cellular and make sure it’s on. You could also try a restart. If it continues to be a problem, go through the steps below.

  • Make sure you have up-to-date carrier settings in Settings > General > About .
  • Check that you have the latest iOS software by going to Settings > General > Software update .
  • Remove the SIM card and put it back in again.
  • You can also try Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings .
  • Some people have found success by disabling LTE in Settings > Cellular data > Enable LTE .
  • If none of that works, a factory reset might be worth trying, just make sure you back up first.
  • If you’re still having problems, it’s time to contact your carrier’s support or visit an Apple Store for more help.

A lot of iPad owners suffer from random crashes where an app spontaneously closes or the iPad suddenly restarts. You might find that this is a bigger issue on older iPads. You can try a few different things to alleviate the problem. It is quite likely to be related to specific apps, so take note of what you were doing when it crashes and see if a pattern emerges over time.

  • Press and hold the Power button and then slide to power off. Press and hold the button to turn it on again. You could also reset by pressing and holding the Power button and the Home button at the same time for 10 seconds. For newer iPads without Home buttons, press and quickly release the Volume up button, press and quickly release the Volume down button, and then press and hold the Power button until the device restarts. Neither of these solutions is liable to affect a permanent fix, but it may offer some relief.
  • Connect to Wi-Fi and go to Settings > General > Software update to ensure that your iPad has the latest software. If there’s an update available then download it and install it.
  • Open the App Store and select Updates and then update all of your apps.
  • If your crashes are occurring in Safari specifically then try going to Settings > Safari and tap Clear history and website data , then Clear history and data . Note this will log you out of websites that you're logged into.
  • If you’re still having problems then try wiping the iPad with a factory reset and restoring it.
  • If none of the above has worked for you then try contacting Apple. If you’re able to reproduce the crash and you can take it into an Apple Store to show them, then you will be able to get some help.

When everything is running as it usually should, your iPad should take about three hours to recharge. If you own an older model, it still would only take about four hours, at a maximum. That said, many users report that it takes much longer for their iPad to recharge fully. We have a couple of tips to try and speed up the charging process.

  • Make sure your iPad is updated. Infamously, iPadOS 13 caused these types of battery charging issues for many users. If it's an issue with iPadOS, you can't do much except live with it until Apple improves the software and releases a new version.
  • Check your ports and connectors. Look for any signs of damage, grime that's blocking ports, or anything else that may be interrupting the connection. If you aren't sure, try to find another compatible charging cable and switch it out to see if this makes a difference. Do not use an off-brand cable or charger to charge your iPad! If you are using one, stop right away and switch to a version straight from Apple.
  • Make sure your iPad isn't trying to do a lot when you are charging it. Disconnect from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth or put it into Airplane mode first. Don't use your iPad when it's charging, and see how much this helps.
  • Always remember to make sure that your iPad isn't put in a particularly hot or cold place. This can damage the battery and cause long-term problems that can't really be fixed without a full replacement.

We completely understand how frustrating this issue can be, mainly because you likely bought the Pencil to pair specifically with your iPad. We have several solutions to try out to get the two working together again.

  • Make sure you have the right Apple Pencil and iPad. Compatibility issues do exist. We have a full Apple Pencil compatibility guide , and certain Apple Pencil and iPad combinations simply won't work. Also, if you have an iPad Air 2 or earlier model, the Pencil won't be able to work with your screen at all, although some third-party stylus models could work for you. We know, it's confusing. But it's important to find out what Pencil and iPad model you have to see if they can work together.
  • Restart your iPad and try again. When you restart, take a look at Settings and Bluetooth to make sure your Bluetooth is turned on. If you already see the Pencil as a recognized device in the Bluetooth settings, then select the information icon, and choose Forget this Device . Then try reconnecting.
  • Make sure the Pencil is charged. It's obvious, but this problem really does happen a lot.

A bootloop is when your device gets stuck in a cycle of turning off and turning back on; The iPad continues repeating that over and over again on a seemingly endless loop. We’ve found that these frustrating cycles tend to result from a bug in whatever app you were last trying to use. That said, there could also be a couple of other factors causing the bootloop. We have several recommendations to try out to stop the looping before you take your iPad to the Apple Store for help.

Possible solutions * Wait for an update. Unfortunately, bootloops are often caused by bugs in specific apps or the iPad’s current operating system. In that situation, you just need to wait for an app or OS update to be released. A recent example of this happened in June 2020, when a version of iPad iOS caused iPads to bootloop unexpectedly while working, usually around a minute or so after starting up. Apple doesn’t waste a second when it comes to releasing patches for these problems. Just keep an eye out for new updates. * Force a manual restart, or “soft reset,” and see if it solve the problem. A manual reset is a powerful troubleshooting tool. To start the reboot, hold the Power and Home buttons down for about 10 seconds simultaneously. You don’t have to count it down; you’ll see when the reboot has started because the Apple logo will appear on the screen. Some newer iPads don’t have a Home button. For those devices, press and quickly release the Volume up button, press and quickly release the Volume down button, and then press and hold the Power button until the device restarts. If this doesn’t work, you may need to force a factory reset, unfortunately. Before resetting anything, though, may sure you back up all of your important data. * Go into recovery mode. This feature prevents bootloops and opens the door for your iPad to fully update if your device is stuck in an infinite bootloop. Apple has a full guide , but to explain it briefly — connect your iPad to a computer; then press and release the Volume up button, the Volume down button, the Top button, and then hold the Top button as your iPad restarts. If this is completed correctly, your iPad will reboot into recovery mode. If your device has a Home button, hold the Home and Top buttons simultaneously. Continue holding them until you see that recovery screen.

iOS 17 is full of cutting-edge iPhone features and optimizations, and we’ve been singing the latest firmware’s praises for a while now. Beyond the typical bug repairs and standard improvements, Apple’s most recent iOS level-up includes a convenient iPhone exclusive called NameDrop. In just seconds, this iPhone-to-iPhone wireless tech lets iPhone A receive a full contact card from iPhone B, simply by placing the two phones next to each other.

You’ll also be able to perform this trick by swapping one (or both) of those iPhones for the Apple Watch Series 7 or newer running watchOS 10.1. It’s not a difficult process, but it involves a little iOS know-how, which is where we come in. We’ve put together this step-by-step explainer for using the NameDrop feature, covering both the iPhone and Apple Watch connectivity methods.

iOS 17 brought a number of new iPhone features and optimizations to the table, and one of these tweaks adds a few cool layers of entertainment to your FaceTime experience. It’s called FaceTime gestures, and once it’s set up correctly, you’ll be able to send 3D animations to your friends and family during FaceTime video calls. You’ll even be able to trigger the animations with physical gestures!

Getting your phone ready for action doesn’t take much time or effort, but we put this guide together to walk you through the process nonetheless.  How to make a FaceTime gesture in iOS 17

If you've been thinking about getting the iPad Pro with cellular connectivity but you've been hoping to buy the tablet from iPad deals for a discount, this may be what you've been waiting for -- a 32% discount from Amazon's Woot on the 12.9-inch, Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 2021 Apple iPad Pro with 128GB of storage. From $1,199, it's down to just $810, which is a steal price for this device with savings of $389. However, while there are still several days left on this offer, it's highly recommended that you proceed with the purchase immediately because there's a chance that stocks don't last that long.

Why you should buy the 2021 Apple iPad Pro 12.9 It's not the latest version of Apple's top-of-the-line tablet -- the honor goes to the 2022 Apple iPad Pro -- but the 2021 Apple iPad Pro is still a pretty powerful device by today's standards. That's because it's equipped with Apple's M1 chip, which promises fantastic speed and excellent graphics when you're working on your multimedia projects, multitasking between several apps, or playing console-level games. With its 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR touchscreen, you'll enjoy high-brightness and high-contrast content, and its mini-LED display provides deeper black levels and more vibrant colors.

Basic iPad Troubleshooting Tips

How to fix your iPad's problems

ipad problem solving

  • University of Texas at Arlington

The iPad is a hugely popular device, but occasionally, you may run into problems with it. However, a problem with your iPad doesn't have to mean a trip to the nearest Apple Store or a phone call to tech support. You can solve most iPad problems by following a few troubleshooting tips. 

Causes of iPad Issues

When an iPad has a problem, it could have a few root causes. Apps can interfere with one another or with the iPad's operating system. These malfunctions can affect the device's resource management or corrupt parts of its memory. The tablet might also have network issues that cause trouble connecting to the internet.

How to Fix Problems With Your iPad

Follow these troubleshooting steps to determine the problem with your iPad and find a fix.

Close apps . The iPad keeps apps open—most in a suspended state—even if you aren't using them. So if you notice some sluggishness, closing resource-hogging programs might solve the issue. Open the App Switcher by pressing the Home button twice, dragging a finger from the bottom to the middle of the screen, or using a multitasking gesture by drawing four or five fingers together on the screen. Close apps by dragging their windows toward the top and off the screen.

Delete troublemaking apps . If you can track your iPad's problems to a single app that is either incompatible with others or possibly corrupted, delete it. On the Home screen, hold a finger on the app until all of the apps start to shake. Tap the X in the upper-left corner of the icon to delete the app.

Apps can become corrupted. After you've deleted one, download it again from the App Store to see if it works better after you reinstall it.

Deleting an app also removes its data, so back it up if possible before you uninstall it.

Reboot the iPad . If you have a problem with an app and closing it doesn't fix the issue, or if you experience another type of problem, reboot the iPad. Turning the iPad off and back on clears the available memory and gives the iPad a fresh start. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button on the upper rim of the iPad (or the power button and volume up button on recent iPad models) to bring up a slider that lets you power off the iPad. Once it is powered down, press the Sleep/Wake button again to turn the iPad back on.

Do a hard reset . If your specific issue causes your iPad to freeze, the reboot may not work. Do a hard restart by holding down the sleep/wake and home buttons for a few seconds until the iPad shuts down. Release the buttons when the Apple logo appears on the display.

Check your network. You may have problems connecting your iPad to the internet . These issues may or may not be coming from the iPad. If possible, do a speed test to see if your wireless connection is working and strong enough. If it isn't, move closer to your router or reset your Wi-Fi hardware . Start by unplugging your router and modem (if they're separate), and then wait 30 seconds and plug them back in. You can also reset your iPad's network settings .

Reset your iPad . This step is different and more intensive than a restart; it involves deleting everything on your iPad and then reinstalling it. Before you do this, back up your iPad to make sure you don't lose your photos or contacts.

Ask for help. If none of these steps work, you might need to take your iPad to an Apple Store Genius or authorized service center for servicing. Before contacting Apple Support, you may want to check if your iPad is still under warranty . The standard Apple warranty grants 90 days of technical support and a year of limited hardware protection. The AppleCare+ program gives two years of both technical and hardware support. Call Apple support at 1-800-676-2775.

Common iPad problems and how to fix them

ipad problem solving

iPad is an amazing computer that manages to be powerful, portable, and accessible all at the same time. If it's working. If it's giving you problems — if it's sluggish or stuck, won't power off or power back on, if the battery is draining fast or not charging properly, if you can't connect to Bluetooth, HomeKit, or AirDrop — then it can be frustrating. Your first instinct might be to call Apple Support or visit the Genius Bar, but that all takes time. If you just want to get everything working again, here are some things you can try on your own, and try right now!

How do you restart, reboot, and recover your iPad?

Reboot Windows! is a running joke in the technology world, but restarting your devices works. It kicks any stray bits back into place and can fix a lot of problems. Powering down and powering back up is a simple way to start. Then you can escalate to hard resets and even restores if you need to.

You also don't have to reset everything . If only one aspect is bugging you, you can reset your iPad's settings, remove network connections, erase content, zap the keyboard dictionary, rearrange the Home screen, or dump Location and Privacy data.

How do I fix problems with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other connections?

Connections have become... complicated. It's not just a matter of turning something on anymore. Bluetooth broadcasts availability and creates connections, Wi-Fi transfers data fast so it doesn't waste a lot of power, and a bunch of different services from handoff to AirDrop, HomeKit to tethering try to manage it all. If your connections aren't connecting, though, there are a few things you can try!

What if you iPad won't charge, gets terrible battery life, won't shutdown, or won't start up?

Whether your battery is draining unreasonably fast or it's taking far too long to recharge, not having enough power when you need it is unacceptable. Likewise if your iPad refuses to shut down or won't power back up when you need it. Luckily, even when it comes to batteries, there are a few fixes you can try on your own.

  • What to do if your iPad won't charge
  • How to fix iOS and iPad battery life problems
  • How to get your iPad to properly turn off
  • How to force your iPad to restart

What if nothing is working?

Sadly, not every problem can be solved through troubleshooting alone. Sometimes you really will need to contact Apple. You can call the company at 1-800-MY-APPLE, tweet them @apple_support, visit them online at apple.com/support , or go straight to your local Apple Retail Store.

Common iPad problems: how to solve them

Fix iPad annoyances quickly and easily

iPad SOS

We love the iPad. It's a bit like Apple distilled everything that was great about the iPhone and the Mac into a convenient, shiny, handheld device, pausing only briefly to lightly spray its glossy tablet with unicorn tears.

Well, that's what we feel like when it's working.

When it's not, we have to be physically restrained from hurling our iPad out of the window, like an insanely expensive flying disc, while yelling "Now can you access the Wi-Fi?" and laughing like a crazy person.

And Wi-Fi connectivity isn't the only problem you can get with an iPad. There are issues with backing up and syncing, oddball ghost apps, seemingly random jerky performance, and more. The problem, perhaps, is that people look at Apple's iOS devices and see something sleek and simple; they forget that an iPad is a computer.

To be fair, our experience with the iPad has shown it to be at least 99% unicorn and only a tiny amount potential projectile, but when things go wrong it can be frustrating. And that's why we've created this guide, to help you deal with both common and rare iPad problems, making it far less likely that you'll at one point have to sheepishly fish your device out of next door's tree.

How to get the best from AirPlay

AirPlay enables you to wirelessly stream video and audio from an iOS device to an AirPlay-enabled unit, like the Apple TV or an AirPlay speaker system. This means you can often do away with wires and get more use from your Apple TV.

Along with what's available via the Apple TV itself, you can stream from many iOS video apps, such as BBC iPlayer. If you've video files that aren't compatible with iTunes, you can use AirVideo or StreamToMe servers and apps to send video to your iPad, which can be streamed to your Apple TV using AirPlay.

But setting up AirPlay isn't always straightforward. It's on by default on the Apple TV (which you can change in the Settings menu), and most apps include an AirPlay button (a rectangle with an upwards-facing triangle) in the standard playback controls. Tap and select a target (such as 'Apple TV') to stream media.

But some apps - like iPlayer - have proprietary playback controls, and so require you to use the global iOS AirPlay button: launch your app, double-click the home button and slide the app switcher to the right; tap the AirPlay button to select a target, then return to your app.

Note, some apps don't support AirPlay, or will block it, showing a notice on your TV. A few of these work with Apple's AV cables, assuming your TV has the right inputs - check App Store descriptions for details.

My new app won't sync

Sometimes you'll buy a new and exciting app or game in iTunes and it won't sync to your iPad.

When this happens, first ensure you're running the most up-to-date version of iOS for your device. Some publishers are remarkably aggressive in forcing upgrades, including Apple, which demands you install iOS 5 for its iWork apps. Games developers also often support only relatively recent versions of iOS.

If you see errors in iTunes after a sync, or incomplete apps during a Wi-Fi sync (dimmed, with a blank progress bar), it may also be down to a lack of free space. Even if you think you've enough room on your iPad for a new purchase, that might not be so: iOS apps are compressed files, but expand during installation. Games in particular can balloon in size - we've seen 400MB downloads become over 1GB installed.

If a large app won't install, try deleting a few similarly large apps and see if that helps. (You can always back up data - see 'Access all app data'.)

How do I safeguard my data from harm?

People worry about their Mac data, and the sensible ones regularly back it up, in case their Mac keels over. With a mobile device like an iPad, it's even more important to ensure you have backups of your documents, music, photos and so on, in case your device is mislaid, stolen or merely damaged.

Under iOS 5, there are essentially two ways of backing up data. The first is to use iCloud , which stores app and personal data, but not media files from your Mac - those can be restored from iTunes.

To start a backup of this kind, select iCloud in the Settings app and under Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backup on. This kind of backup can take a long time, depending on what's stored on your device. If you later need to restore from a backup, you can do so by tapping 'Restore from iCloud Backup' on the device setup screen.

The other option is to stick with backing up to iTunes during a sync. But if you do so over Wi-Fi, iTunes only appears to take a backup the first time you sync, unless you restart the app. The Devices section of iTunes' preferences will detail your most recent backup. If it's distant, force a backup by Ctrl-clicking your device in the sidebar and selecting Back Up.

I can't access Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is always tough to troubleshoot whatever the device, because there are many variables. What we'll do here is list common problems and solutions.

First, see if your iPad can pick up the network when next to your router; if so, your settings are fine but your router needs to sit in a more optimal location (at average table height and away from walls).

Should the range be fine, check other devices. If they're not on the network, restart your router. If other devices are fine, toggle Airplane Mode in the Settings app, which will force the iPad to try reconnecting.

Should that not work, select the network in the Wi-Fi section of Settings (tap the right-facing arrow) and tap Renew Lease.

If these tips fail, select 'Forget this Network' in the same pane, hard-reset the iPad, then re-enter your network settings. And if that doesn't work, in Settings go to General > Reset, and tap 'Reset Network Settings' and re-enter your details in the Wi-Fi section.

My iPad's not charging

If you own a smaller iOS device, such as an iPhone or an iPod touch, chances are you sometimes charge it by connecting it to your Mac or to a USB hub. If you do the same with your iPad, there's a possibility that it won't charge up, and you'll see the message 'Not Charging' on your iPad's screen.

This is more often the case with older Macs, but we've also seen this with recent Macs that have a number of USB devices attached. Instead, use your iPad's power adapter to charge it, either directly, or with your iPad sitting in an iPad dock.

Alternatively, try connecting it to a Mac and sleeping the iPad; it will charge, but more slowly, and only when the computer is awake.

If your iPad doesn't charge with the power adapter, ensure the dock connector isn't full of dust by using folded paper to clean it out.

I've got a ghost app

Ghost apps are rare but annoying. Their icons will usually be dimmed and when you try to launch an app, it'll just sit there, doing nothing. Most often, ghost apps are the product of a busted sync attempt, and they're more common when syncing over Wi-Fi.

Getting rid of one can be as easy as holding an icon until they all jiggle and prodding the relevant '–' button, but this doesn't always work.

If that's the case for you, select your device in iTunes and access the Apps tab. Select the relevant home screen, delete the app that's causing problems, and click Apply to sync your device. You might also need to do a hard reset (press home + sleep buttons until the iPad restarts).

Note also that syncing over Wi-Fi takes time, and so if you see loads of dimmed apps with progress bars, your iPad might be working its way through a major update and is best left alone until it's done.

My iPad feels sluggish

One of the remarkable things about the iPad and iOS is how fluid and responsive everything feels - and so it's very obvious if your device suddenly becomes sluggish. You might notice juddering scrolling or animations; in extreme cases, large apps like games will crash on startup.

Typically, this is down to iOS memory management going temporarily bonkers. In theory, background apps should be suspended, and memory freed up for the active app, but on rare occasions this goes wrong.

The quickest solution is a hard reset - hold home and sleep until your iPad restarts. However, you can sometimes get your device running smoothly again by double-clicking the home button, holding an app in the multitasking tray until they all jiggle, and tapping the '–' buttons to kill big games or any apps that run background processes (such as Mail).

iCloud won't sync

A major component of iOS 5 is iCloud, a system that provides behind-the-scenes synchronisation of important content, such as calendars and bookmarks. If an item doesn't sync immediately, don't worry - iCloud isn't instantaneous.

However, if nothing syncs, ensure you're using the same account details on your iPad, Mac and other devices. If needs be, delete all account settings and enter them from scratch.

Also, ensure you've not disabled sharing on your iPad (iCloud in the Settings app) or Mac (iCloud in System Preferences, and also Accounts > Account Information in iCal).

Another syncing problem can involve duplicated data. A fix to stop this is ensuring everything is unchecked in the Info tab when selecting your iPad in iTunes. When upgrading to iOS 5, you may also find device content merges with that from your Mac. Just wait for the process to complete and delete any duplicate content.

I can't print anything

If you've truly caught the iPad bug and want to do some real work on it, it's probable that you'll at some point need to print documents.

The AirPrint feature is Apple's means of doing so - a driverless system that works like magic. The only snag: for it to do said magic, you need a compatible printer, or your iOS device will sadly declare: "No AirPrint Printers Found".

The simplest solution is therefore a printer upgrade - Apple provides an AirPrint compatibility list . But if you don't have money to burn on a new printer, there is a workaround.

Install Printopia ($20, www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia ), activate it via System Preferences, and select the printers you'd like to share with AirPrint-enabled units (such as your iPad and other iOS devices). Once you've done this, your selected printers will appear in the standard iOS print dialog. While $20 isn't free, it's a lot less than buying a brand-new printer!

The App Store app has completely vanished!

The App Store app has vanished! With much of the iPad's shiny goodness tied up in grabbing new games and apps, this is a disaster. And with Apple making it easier than ever to 'detach' your iPad from your Mac, it's a double disaster!

But wait! This problem can be rapidly resolved in one of two ways. First, if your iPad is stuffed to the gills, with all 11 pages full of apps, you might have accidentally bumped the App Store app into the 'void' - that mysterious place past the last page. To check, press the home button a couple of times and use Spotlight to search for 'App Store'. If it's there, you can use iTunes to rearrange your icons and put the App Store somewhere more accessible.

If the App Store isn't found in Spotlight, open Settings and go to General > Restrictions, and ensure 'Installing Apps' isn't turned off. (This section also has controls that stop apps being deleted.)

If these options don't work, you might have a problem from a broken sync. Do a hard reset (home + sleep until the iPad restarts), and sync from iTunes. As a last resort, restore from your last good backup.

My iPad's vanished from iTunes

The ability to sync over Wi-Fi in iOS 5 is a big advantage - right up until the point when it doesn't work. Sometimes, your iPad will vanish from the iTunes sidebar, and the 'Sync Now' button in General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync will be greyed out.

We've had this happen a bunch of times, and the usual culprit is either the Mac or the iPad briefly losing its network connection. Quite often, you can simply toggle Wi-Fi on the iPad (by turning Airplane Mode off and on in the Settings app) and/or the Mac (using the menu-bar Wi-Fi icon) and everything will start working again.

On the Mac side, iTunes might need restarting. If that doesn't work, you might need to restart the iPad and also the Mac, but that's rarely the case. Alternatively, we've found plugging the iPad into the Mac using a cable gets everything back into gear - but who uses wires these days?

How to access all app data

Some apps enable you to access documents using iTunes. You do so by selecting your device in the iTunes sidebar, choosing the Apps tab, and scrolling down to File Sharing. Select an app and you can add and save documents.

The problem is the process is clunky and doesn't work for every app. It's also no good if something goes wrong with your device (so iTunes can't see it) and you need to rescue data.

In this scenario, two apps can help: iExplorer (free) and PhoneView ($20/£13). Both enable you to explore your device much like a hard drive. This means you can grab voice memos, photos that didn't sync properly, music and other media.

In iExplorer, this content is found in the Media folder; PhoneView has a more intuitive interface, where you select media and data types from the sidebar. Both apps also provide access to the Documents and Library directories of individual apps (iExplorer through its Apps list; PhoneView through Apps > Show All Apps). Copy these directories to your Mac and they can later be reinstated.

9 Basic Troubleshoot Steps to Fix Almost Any iPad Problem

If your iPad isn’t working properly, one of the basic troubleshooting tips in this guide is almost guaranteed to fix it.

The iPad is arguably one of the best tablets on the market. But while many people swear by it for entertainment and productivity, it’s not immune to problems. Most of us know how to troubleshoot common issues on a computer—you just open the task manager and close the troublesome program. But how do you do that on an iPad?

If your iPad is acting up, we’ll walk you through all the most useful troubleshooting solutions you can use to fix. These will cover everything from a quick restart to a complete reset, and everything in between to make sure your tablet is working as good as new.

What Are the Common Issues Many iPad Users Face?

As you use your iPad and install apps over through the years, you might encounter various problems, such as:

  • Your iPad won’t turn on
  • The screen isn’t responding
  • It won’t connect to Wi-Fi
  • An app has become unresponsive
  • The iPad isn’t charging
  • It runs slower than it used to
  • iPadOS randomly crashes
  • You can’t get past the boot up screen

So, if you encounter any of these issues—or others—don’t take your tablet to the Genius Bar just yet. Try some of our basic troubleshooting steps below and see if they’ll fix your issue.

1. Charge the iPad

If you press the Home or Power button and your iPad doesn’t respond at all, check if your tablet is charged. One reason it won’t turn on is that someone might have borrowed your device, used it until empty, and forgot to tell you about it. Alternatively, you might have neglected the low battery sign when you put it away and totally forgot to recharge the tablet.

Also, when you’re recharging the tablet, don’t just plug and leave it. Wait for the iPad to show the charging prompt before leaving it—that way, you can be sure it’s really charging and there’s no issue with the charging cable or brick.

2. Check the Lightning or USB-C Cable and Charging Brick

In case the iPad refuses to charge after you plug it in, check if the issue is with the cable or the charging brick. To do so, try another cable and charging brick combination to recharge your device. If this works, then your tablet doesn’t have a problem, but your charging accessories do.

Before buying a new charging brick or cable, determine which of them has a problem. Test your cable by plugging it into another brick that you know works, then attach it to your iPad. If the tablet recharges, the issue lies with its original charging brick, but if it doesn’t, you need to replace your Lightning or USB-C cable.

3. Close Frozen Apps Completely

Sometimes, you have to deal with an unresponsive app. If the open app doesn’t respond, you might think you’re stuck until the issue resolves itself or your tablet runs out of battery. But don’t despair: you can still recover your tablet. All you need to do is switch to the Recent Apps view.

If your iPad has a Home button, double-click on it to open Recent Apps. If you have a newer iPad without a Home button, swipe up from the bottom and pause your finger in the middle of the screen. Once done, you will return to the Recent Apps view if you have other open apps; otherwise, you’ll see your tablet’s main screen.

4. Force Restart the iPad

For cases where your iPad has completely stopped responding to your taps and button presses, your next option is to force restart your tablet . This can also help fix a variety of other bugs that might be afflicting your iPad. There are different ways to do this, depending on your iPad’s model.

If your device has a Home button, press and hold it simultaneously with the Power button. The screen will go black after around three seconds, and then you’ll see the Apple logo appear after another 12 seconds.

If your iPad doesn’t have a Home button, you’ll have to use this procedure:

  • Quickly press the Volume Up button.
  • Quickly press the Volume Down button.
  • Press and hold the Top button until your iPad restarts.

5. Check for iOS and App Updates

Although force restarting your iPad might clear some temporary issues, some problems might crop up again if they’re caused by a persistent software bug. For this reason, you should check if either the relevant app developer or Apple has released an update for your iPad software.

First, look at your installed apps to see if they need an update. To do so, open the App Store , then tap on your Profile Icon in the screen’s upper-right corner. In the Account view, scroll down until you see Upcoming Automatic Updates . If all your apps are updated, you won’t see it. But if you see this list, tap on Update All .

Now, to check if your iPad has the latest iPadOS version, go to Settings , then tap General > Software Update . A new window will load while your device checks Apple’s servers for any new iOS versions.

If there’s a new version, you will see it under Software Update. Tap on Download and Install . Your iPad will ask you to enter your passcode when you do that. When the download is complete, you’ll see a notification next to General in the main Settings menu. Tap on it, then tap Install Now . The tablet will verify the update, restart, and install it.

If you encounter an error during the upgrade process, here are some ways to fix the iPadOS update process and ensure you’re on the latest version.

6. Free Up Some Space

One factor that many iPad users neglect is storage space. If you only have an entry-level iPad, chances are it only has 32GB or 64GB of storage. While this may seem like ample storage at first, you’ll soon find yourself running out of space as you add photos, videos, apps, and documents.

For an iPad to run smoothly, you should keep at least 2GB of available space. To check your free space, go to Settings , then tap General . In the General view, tap on iPad Storage . From there, you’ll see how much free space your device has left.

We recommend that you enable the Offload Unused Apps option to offload any apps you haven’t used in a while to save space. This will remove the app while keeping all your data saved to the iPad. After doing that, follow these iPhone tips to free up more storage on your iPad .

7. Reset Your iPad’s Network Settings

Another problem that many users run into is their iPad’s inability to connect to the internet. If your iPad won’t connect to a specific network, but can connect to other Wi-Fi networks, then the issue might be with your router. But if it can’t connect to any network, there might be a settings error.

The best course is to reset your iPad’s network settings. This makes the iPad forget all connections saved on it, including any Wi-Fi passwords you saved. Reset this by opening the Settings app, then tapping on General > Transfer or Reset iPad . In the Transfer or Reset iPad window, tap on Reset > Reset Network Settings . Once you’ve entered the passcode, tap on Reset to confirm.

8. Reset All Settings

If any of the steps above fail to resolve your issue, try to reset all settings. This will remove any customizations you made to the settings on your iPad, including inside any third-party apps. But, all your data and the apps themselves will remain.

You will find the Reset All Settings option in the Settings app under General > Transfer or Reset iPad . You then need to tap on Reset > Reset All Settings to execute the command. Like the previous step’s procedure, enter your passcode to confirm your action and tap on Reset to proceed.

9. Erase All Content and Settings on Your iPad

If you find your iPad still not working after all the steps above, it’s time for the nuclear option—reformatting your tablet. This iPad factory reset option removes all the data on your tablet: apps, movies, music, pictures, and everything else. It wipes your tablet clean, making it like new. So, if you’re resorting to this, be sure to back up your iPad to iCloud or iTunes first.

To completely erase your iPad , go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset , then choose the option to Erase All Content and Settings and follow the prompts on screen. Once you’ve completed the reset process, your iPad will then return to the Hello screen from when it was new.

Know Your Basic iPad First Aid

While it isn’t likely that you’ll encounter a major error before you upgrade your iPad, you should know how to deal with any that do crop up. That way, you won’t need to wait for a Genius Bar appointment to be able to get your iPad working again. You can just troubleshoot it for free and fix it yourself.

What to Do if Your Macbook Won’t Turn On

  • iPad problems

ipad problem solving

Are you satisfied with your Apple products like your iPhone or iPad? After all, there’s no level of satisfaction that can match owning an Apple device. The numbers back that up.

Apple devices have the highest satisfaction rating in the PC and tablet industry, earning a sizable 83% satisfaction rating , with Amazon lagging a bit behind.

Even then, you can’t take away some iPads having issues here and there. Is your iPad having a problem?

Don’t worry! We’re here to help you with the iPad issues you’re experiencing. Here are seven of the most common iPad problems and how to repair them.

1. Apps Like Chrome Keeps Crashing

Applications tend to be a troublesome bunch. Sometimes, you get unlucky, and a bad update installs on your iPad. You might have something like Chrome keeps crashing.

What do you do? Close the app completely! The iPad keeps what we call a cache to launch recent apps quicker.

If you have a new iPad or iPhone with no Home Button, swipe up from the button and pause in the middle of the screen. If you have an earlier iPad with a home button, double-click the home button.

If you have iOS 12 devices, pick the apps and swipe up to close the app. If you have an earlier iOS, here’s how you do it.

In the window, press the icon of the crashing app with a finger and hold. Wait for it to shake and show a close (X) button on the top left. Press the X button, and it will go away.

What this does is that it force quits the app and clears it from memory. If clearing it from memory doesn’t work, the next best thing is to uninstall the app by holding the app icon and press the x button while the app is shaking.

You can then download a fresh copy from the App Store instead of suffering when Chrome keeps crashing.

2. iPad WiFi Not Connecting

The new iPad Pro 2018 and iPad 5 tends to run smooth as butter. However, some devices may experience problems connecting with their WiFi network. Are you having trouble?

First, try to look at your settings if your tablet can find the WiFi connection. If it’s not working, try to reset your router if possible. Does the issue persist?

Then the next thing to do is restart the iPad. This can help reset the hardware to detect a better signal. Still in trouble?

See if the problem is with a specific network or with any WiFi connection.

For network-specific problems, go to Settings > WiFi, tap on the network you want to forget and press “Forget This Network” and then try to reconnect to the same network using the right credentials.

Is your iPad not working with any wireless connection? Then what you want is to reset the device. Tap the volume up button, volume down button and hold the top button.

Hold the top button until the device shows an iTunes with the lightning connector image on the screen. Connect it to your iTunes.

3. iPad Screen Keeps Freezing

If your iPad Pro 2018 or your iPad 5 screens are freezing, there are some possible issues related to this. There might be software conflicts or memory corruption that puts your iPad on a loop.

The number one solution to this is to turn the iPad off and then on again. You can do so by pressing and holding the power button. Swipe the slide to power off.

It sounds cliché, but it works. The process of turning it off and on again resets the hardware to its default state before the crash, flushing the memory.

Does it keep persisting? Force restart the iPad.

Press the volume up button once, press and release the volume down button and, soon afterward, press and hold the Power Button until the device restarts.

Make sure that it’s not an Apple device hardware issue . You might need to send it to experts if it’s hardware.

4. Apple Device Stuck on Startup Logo

An iPad Pro 2018 or iPad 5 getting stuck on the startup Apple logo is a different problem altogether. The issue may stem from various problems like the boot software.

Your goal is to reset the ipad’s software to factory settings. Be warned, however, that this will delete your iPad’s data. Make sure to try and turn it on and off a few times before going this route.

To reset, press the volume Up, volume Down and the top/side power button in succession. Hold the power button until you see the connect to iTunes image.

Connect it to your PC or Mac’s iTunes through the lightning cable and follow the instructions on iTunes.

5. iTunes Does Not Recognize the Device

When iTunes does not recognize an iPad, the problem may stem from either the iTunes or the iPad. Start with iTunes.

Update the software. If you’re using a Mac, go to Apple menu (Apple logo) > System Preferences > Software Update. If you have a PC, open iTunes and choose Help > Check for Updates.

Does it still fail to recognize? Restart the iPad, turn it off and on again and swipe the slider, then turn it on. Same problem?

Check with another lightning cable, then check with another USB port.

Restart your Mac or PC and try again. The last thing you want to do but can do is uninstall your iTunes and download a fresh copy online .

6. iPad Not Charging

Do you have an iPad not turning on? Try to connect it first to a charging cable and see if it is showing the charging icon. If it does, then your iPad is not charging.

If your iPad does not charge, make sure you have your charger connected to the wall socket because a lightning connection to a USB port won’t cut it.

Does the problem persist? Test with a different charger and a different lightning cable since you might have a faulty power adapter or cable or you have a low wattage USB power charger.

Make sure that the charger is 12 watts, since a 5-watt charger is best for an iPhone, while a 12-watt USB power charger is for iPads.

If it’s still not working, bring it to a team of experts to check the hardware. You can do the same with your iPhone repair needs .

7. iPad Not Turning On

You’d know the iPad will not turn on if it only shows a black screen. The possible issue is that the battery is dead or does not take in any power, so you will see the iPad not turning on.

Perform a full reset. Press the volume up, volume down and then the top button and wait for any logo to show up.

The iPad not turning on after doing so? Plug it to the charger. Connect the lightning cable and let it sit for at least 20 minutes.

Try to power it on and do a reset. Same trouble? Call the experts.

How to Take Care of Common iPad Problems

Apple has made its hardware and software robust. If you are having the common iPad problems, don’t worry.

You can solve them by common troubleshooting like shutting it down, force restarting or resetting.

Make sure to do everything in your power first before opting for a full reset as this will delete your data.

If you might believe that it’s beyond you, don’t you think it’s time to let the experts work? We at Techville are there to help.

6 Common iPad Problems (and How to Fix Them)

mmipad

Did you know that Apple has sold more than 500 million iPads? Of all the different tablets in the world, the iPad is one of the most popular. You can use an iPad to watch movies, work, and play video games.

While iPads are fun to have, they are not invincible. Like a cell phone or laptop, you will have issues with your iPad if you don’t take care of it or if the iPad is old.

What are some of the most common iPad problems? Keep reading to learn about 6 iPad issues you should watch out for and how to fix them.

1. The iPad Won’t Turn On

One of the most common iPad issues is the iPad not turning on. This is scary for iPad owners because they wonder if their iPad will ever turn on again. If your iPad isn’t turning on, don’t panic.

The first step to fixing this issue is to make sure the iPad is charged. If the battery is dead, the iPad will not turn on. After you have charged the battery, restart your iPad.

To do this, you will need to hold down the power and home button until you see the Apple logo show up on the screen. Once you see the logo, you can let go of the button and let the iPad turn on.

If charging your iPad and doing a hard reset does not fix the issue, you will need to contact Apple support for help.

2. The iPad Is Not Charging

Another one of the most common iPad problems is an iPad that is not charging. Most of the time, when the iPad isn’t charging, it is a problem with the charger instead of the iPad.

Try plugging your iPad into a different charger to see if that resolves the problem. It’s also a good idea to make sure the wall outlet you are using is working. If that doesn’t work, you can try restarting your iPad.

While the above steps should fix your iPad, they won’t help if your iPad has damage. Most of the time, iPhone repair and smartphone repair companies can help you fix a damaged iPad.

3. The iPad Has Poor Battery Life

If you have an old iPad, you may notice that your battery life isn’t as good as it used to be. While iPad batteries deteriorate as they get older, your iPad should still hold a charge for several hours.

If your iPad is dying right away, there could be an issue. To fix this problem, make sure the brightness on your iPad isn’t turned up, and be sure to close any apps you aren’t using.

Your display and apps will drain your iPad batter faster. You also can try updating your iOS software to see if that solves the problem.

If your iPad is still dying fast, there could be something wrong with the battery. This is a sign that you will need to get a new iPad or a new battery.

4. The iPad Won’t Connect to the Internet

Is your iPad failing to connect to the internet? If so, you are not alone because that is another common issue that iPads have. This problem can be annoying because people spend so much time on the internet.

Between browsing the web, shopping, and playing online games, not being able to connect to the internet is a big deal.

To fix this issue, go into your iPad settings, open up the Wi-Fi settings, click on your internet, and select forget this network. Once your iPad disconnects from the internet, try to reconnect it.

If that doesn’t solve the problem, you can do a hard reset on your iPad. In many cases, the internet will be the issue instead of the iPad. Check to see if your other devices are connecting to the internet.

5. The iPad Is Frozen

Having a frozen iPad screen makes it impossible to send emails, read your book, or play your favorite games. If your iPad screen freezes, don’t worry because there are easy ways to fix it.

Like with most iPad issues, start by resetting your iPad. Most of the time, an iPad freezes because an app becomes unresponsive. Restarting your iPad will close the app.

If you can, try to figure out which app is causing the problem. While it may be a one-time occurrence, the app could freeze your iPad again. Check to see if the app or your iPad has any system updates.

If your iPad is still frozen after attempting to reset it, plug it into your computer. If you don’t already have a backup of your iPad on the cloud , back it up onto your computer.

Once you have a backup, you can choose to restore your iPad. Keep in mind that if you restore your iPad without a backup, you could lose your data.

6. The Apple Pencil Isn’t Connecting

Having an Apple Pencil makes it easier to use your iPad, draw, or do other creative work. Because Apple Pencils are expensive, it can be frustrating when your Apple Pencil doesn’t connect to your iPad.

Keep in mind that certain Apple Pencils only work on certain iPads. Make sure that you have an Apple Pencil that is compatible with your iPad.

Apple has a good return policy, so you may be able to return your pencil if it’s not compatible.

If your Apple Pencil is compatible with your iPad and still not connecting, check to see if your Apple Pencil is charged. If it isn’t, let it fully charge and then try again.

You also can try restarting your iPad and making sure your Bluetooth is on. If that doesn’t work, disconnect your Apple Pencil from your iPad and try connecting it again.

Do You Have Any of These iPad Problems?

Owning an iPad allows you to work while traveling, play video games, read, or draw. Almost anything you want to do on an iPad is possible, but you should watch out for these common iPad problems.

The 4 Most Common iPad Problems and How to Solve Them

The 4 Most Common iPad Problems and How to Solve Them – Apple Repo , Like any other electronic device, the iPad can present problems when executing some of its functions. Sometimes ipad can freeze , or run an application very slowly, or that the Wi-Fi connection falls, to name a few. Fortunately, there are certain “home remedies” widely used to solve these problems and we will mention below.

It is important to clarify that if it is more serious difficulties, they probably obey defects of the specific device and that in such a case it is better to use the guarantee. On the other hand, it should be remembered that Apple offers excellent online resources, that is, manuals to know how the iPad works, as well as to solve many specific ipad problems .

Most Common iPad Problems and How to Solve Them

common ipad problems

Programs that stop and do not progress

The general advice: restart the iPad (reboot). Although it may sound like the old anecdote of the doctor that to all his patients, regardless of the disease, he prescribed “two aspirins, drink lots of water and rest” and in most cases recovered satisfactorily, with respect to the iPad something happens Similar. Personally every time the iPad freezes -which has happened to me a few times- what I do is restart it (what is known in English as reboot).

When reopening the application normally works properly. Although I am not a computer technician, I understand that it is normal for some applications, especially games, to “freeze” due to imperfections in their design, which are solved in later versions, as they are put to the test.

To restart, simply press and hold the idle / activation button for several seconds until the red “Turn off” slider appears, and then drag the regulator with your finger, from the left side to the right of the screen. Then, you must press the rest / activation button again until the Apple logo appears by the iPhone app development company ; after a moment, the iPad will restart automatically.

Access to USB port

It is not a problem of operation, but rather a “deficiency” that in our opinion, Apple should correct in future versions. We still do not understand well why if the other tablet manufacturers include USB ports on their devices, the iPad does not. Fortunately it is possible to make an “arrangement” if we use, for example, the camera connection kit for the iPad (in English), which would also allow us to connect other gadgets, such as a memory stick to increase the memory of the iPad, example.

Low or no connectivity to Wi-Fi

From what we have seen in several forums on the Web, several users complain that the Wi-Fi connection is very weak. Maybe this is because the iPad antenna is located just below the logo of the apple, and this blocks the signal a bit. We can try to solve this problem by reconnecting to wireless networks (on the iPad, in Settings, press Wi-Fi, then select the corresponding network, enter the password again – write slowly and make sure you write it correctly, then they are usually long sequences of numbers and letters).

If the signal does not improve, we have no choice but to bring the iPad closer to the router. The more walls between the router and the iPad, the less clear the signal will be. Another option is to move the router more towards the center of the room where it is or, in extreme cases, buy an external antenna or an extender.

The lightning cable of Apple and its various connectors

iTunes does not recognize or sync with the iPad

The connection of the iPad with iTunes is indispensable, since it is necessary to download all the applications, for example. It may happen that iTunes does not recognize the iPad, or that you cannot access via Wi-Fi applications or music, for example. To solve these ipad problems , it is best to reinstall iTunes, first, and then check that it is synchronized with the device.

In this case, you will need to connect the iPad to a computer, through the connector that comes with the iPad, to a USB port of the computer (if, eventually, the computer does not recognize the iPad, this can be due to 3 reasons: the battery This is almost unloaded, so you must first recharge it, the USB cable is defective – check it on another device – or the computer’s USB port does not work , in which case just connect the cable to another USB port).

Once the iPad is connected to the computer, click on the Start icon on the computer, then on the Control Panel and then on Add or Remove Programs. With the mouse position tie in iTunes and select Remove (do not worry, just delete the program, not the contents already downloaded).

Then, download the updated version again, going to the following link. Once the new version is reinstalled, to synchronize it with the Wi-Fi of the iPad, from the computer it opens iTunes, select the iPad that you have connected to the computer in the Devices tab and, in the Summary tab, select “synchronize with this iPad via Wi-Fi”.

How to Resolve 10 of the Most Common iPad Problems

Trade-In Tech

While iPads are incredible electronic devices, like other electronics, it’s common for these products to run into issues. Fortunately, some iPad issues are easier to fix than others. With that in mind, we’re going to take a closer look at several of the most common iPad problems. We’ll also show you how to fix these problems.

Sometimes, there will be iPad problems that won’t be as easy to resolve. During these times, it’s best to have help from a professional . Considering that, we’ve also added a section about how to find professionals who can repair electronics on Trade-In Tech.

1. A Frozen Screen

One of the most common iPad problems is a frozen screen. If you’re like most people, this problem happens when you least expect it. This problem can cause anyone to start feeling stressed that their iPad is no longer usable.

Fortunately, you don’t have to worry every time your iPad’s screen freezes. Because this issue is so common, there are a few possible ways to solve this problem. The next time you’re dealing with a frozen iPad screen, try these potential solutions:

Check for problematic apps: As you’ll begin to learn, apps can sometimes cause problems that affect your iPad. Fortunately, deleting these apps should cause any problems they’re causing to go away. If you’re unsure which app or apps are causing a frozen screen, try force closing all open apps. Next, open each of them and interact with them. During this time, it should be fairly easy to detect which apps are causing problems.

Restart your iPad: Sometimes, frozen screens are simply the result of an error you can resolve by restarting your iPad. To do this, you’ll need to press and hold your iPad’s “Power” button. Hold this button down until you see the “slide to power off” message appear. Next, slide the on-screen tab to power off your iPad. Finally, press and hold the “Power” button again, and you should see the Apple logo appear. Next, your iPad should begin restarting.

Perform a force restart: If the previous steps haven’t resolved your frozen screen issue, it’s time to force restart your iPad. To do this, you’ll need to press and hold your iPad’s power button for ten seconds. You can confirm you’ve performed this step correctly when the Apple logo appears on your iPad’s screen.

Note: Newer iPads no longer have the “Home” button. To perform a force restart on this device, you’ll need to press and release the “Volume Up” button and then do the same thing to the “Volume Down” button, and then press and hold your iPad’s “Power” button until you see the Apple logo appear.

2. Not Connecting to Wi-Fi

ipad problem solving

Understandably, being able to access wireless internet or wi-fi has many advantages. Most people rely on wi-fi to access the internet on an iPad as well as play many games stored on these devices. So, it can be a major problem when you notice that your iPad isn’t connecting to the internet. Here are some things to try that can resolve this problem.

Enable Wi-Fi in Settings: Sometimes, an iPad not making a wi-fi connection is easy to resolve and can get changed by accessing your device’s “Settings” menu. Once you’re there, find a tab that says “Wi-Fi.” After tapping on this tab, you should see an option to turn Wi-fi on or off. If your device has wi-fi turned off, switch it on. If wi-fi is already enabled, try one of the other solutions below.

Turn Your iPad Off and Back On: Sometimes, a lost wireless internet connection can happen for a wide range of bizarre reasons. If you’re still having problems connecting to wi-fi, try turning your iPad off and turning it back on again.

Forget the Connection; Restart iPad: Another way to resolve this issue is by going to your iPad’s “Settings” menu. Next, go to the “Connections” option until you find the wireless network you’re trying to connect to. Find the option to “Forget This Network,” which will reset your connection. Keep in mind that you’ll need to have this network’s password to reconnect. Once you’re reconnected, power off your iPad and turn it back on.

3. iPad Isn’t Charging

Considering the popularity of iPads , there’s no doubt that many of these devices are in near-constant use. As any iPad owner knows, every one of these devices depends on batteries that will need to get recharged. In most cases, recharging an iPad is as simple as connecting it to a USB cord and maybe a wall charger. 

If your iPad isn’t charging properly or slowly, try these potential solutions:

Use Official Apple Chargers and Adapters: One of the most common reasons why iPads fail to charge is because of the cable and/or adapter that’s providing this device with power. While they’re typically more expensive, official Apple charging cables, docks, power adapters, and other accessories are all made for use with its products. 

Sometimes, using non-Apple charging cables and adapters can provide an iPad with less or more power than it needs. If your iPad isn’t getting enough power, it will charge extremely slowly. If your charging cable or adapter provides too much power, it could cause damage to your iPad’s battery.

Replace Your Charging Cable and Adapter: Another potential problem is that your iPad’s charging cables and adapters are damaged. You can test your adapters and cables if you have multiple iPads (preferably one without charging issues). If your original charging components charge the other iPad, it could be a problem with your iPad itself. If your original charger doesn’t charge another iPad, you have a charger that needs replacing.

Restart Your Device: If the previous steps don’t resolve your charging issue, try to turn your iPad off and on. In some cases, restarting your iPad can solve the problem of an iPad that won’t charge.

4. No Power

ipad problem solving

Another common problem that certain iPad owners encounter is having a device that won’t power on. This problem can make your iPad essentially useless. Therefore, it’s important to fix this issue as soon as possible. If this should happen, try one of the following solutions:

Try Charging Your iPad: One of the first steps to potentially resolving an iPad that won’t power on is by charging it. Sometimes, it’s easy to lose track of time while using your iPad. When this happens, your device can run out of power faster than you sometimes realize. If you can’t turn on your iPad, it’s time to grab a charging cable and connect it to your iPad.

Hold Down Your iPad’s Power and Home Buttons: As you might imagine, rebooting your iPad can be a great way to resolve this issue. As mentioned earlier, you might own a newer iPad that doesn’t feature a “Home” button. If this is the case, you’ll need to press and quickly release the “Volume Up” button followed by the “Volume Down” button. After that, press and hold the “Power” button.

Perform a Reboot Through iTunes: Another tip that some iPad owners aren’t aware of is how to reboot this device through iTunes. If your iPad’s screen isn’t turning on, connect your device to a computer with a USB cable. After this, reboot your iPad, and you should be given an option to update your iPad. If all goes well, this update through iTunes can reinstall iOS without completely resetting your device and removing all of its data.

5. A Problematic App

Part of the fun that comes with using an iPad is being able to download and interact with a wide range of apps or applications. However, not every app is all that it claims to be. While it might sound like a small problem, problematic apps can cause major problems for an iPad. 

In some cases, it only takes one app to cause frozen screens and a wide range of other iPad problems that need repairing . If you either suspect or know that an app is making your iPad behave strangely, there are a few things you can do.

Find the Problematic App: It’s hard to stop the havoc that a problematic app can wreak without knowing which one is causing all of your problems. Fortunately, it should be fairly easy to understand the few apps that are negatively affecting your iPad. You can do this by thinking about when your device started experiencing problems. In most cases, these kinds of apps will be new, from a non-trusted source/company, or both.

Delete the App: Once you have a basic idea of what app or apps could be causing your iPad to perform improperly, it’s time to delete them. Before you start doing this, it’s wise to have your login information for any deleted apps set aside. By doing this, you won’t have to worry about creating new accounts on any apps you reinstall. You’ll know you’re on the right track if you notice any improvements in how your iPad performs after deleting an app.

6. iPad Won’t Update

ipad problem solving

Over time, Apple regularly releases updates for its products. These updates can help improve how an iPad operates, improve its security, and resolve other important matters. Unfortunately, you can run into situations when your iPad isn’t properly updating. If this happens, try one or all these solutions to resolve the problem of an iPad that won’t update.

Check the Strength of Your Internet Connection: It’s possible that your iPad isn’t updating because of a weak or non-existent internet connection. To fix this problem, go to your iPad’s “Settings” program and check if you’re connected to the internet. 

Free Up Storage Space: Sometimes, an iPad won’t update because the device doesn’t have enough space. To complete certain updates, you might need gigabytes of free space. This space might be readily available after you purchase your iPad. However, over time, iPads can quickly run out of storage space. Fortunately, this issue is fairly self-explanatory to solve.

Unable to Check for Update: Lastly, it’s also possible that you run into a message stating that Apple is unable to check for an update. The best way to potentially remedy this problem is by updating your iPad on a computer . If this doesn’t work, try removing the update and reinstalling it.

7. iPad Turns On Then Shuts Down

There’s almost nothing more frustrating than having an iPad that turns on but won’t stay on. If you can’t keep your iPad on for more than a few minutes or seconds, it can make you feel like your iPad is beyond repair. Before you give up on repairing your iPad, try these steps below:

Perform a Force Restart: As you can imagine, force restarts can potentially solve lots of problems. One of these problems is an iPad that is turning off by itself. If you’re using an older iPad, you’ll hold down the “Home” and “Power” buttons. For newer iPads, quickly press and let go of the “Volume Up” and “Volume Down” buttons respectively, followed by pressing and releasing the “Power” button.

Restore Your iPad: Another way to solve this problem is by restoring your iPad. In some cases, restoring your iPad will take care of issues that a restart won’t be able to. Before doing this, it’s a good idea to remove any images, videos, or other information you don’t want to risk losing.

Contact a Repair Professional: If neither of the previous methods worked to fix an iPad that powers on and off constantly, it’s time to contact a repair professional. This allows you to have someone take care of your issue. Find the right repair person or electronics recycler , and you’ll soon have iPads that work properly.

8. An iPad That Won’t Connect to iTunes

You might also need to connect your iPad to iTunes. This program is Apple’s way of helping you manage what’s on your iPad. When everything’s working properly, your iPad should have no problem connecting to iTunes. Unfortunately, as you might know, this doesn’t always happen. If you’re having trouble connecting to iTunes, try these tips:

Ensure Your Computer is Connected to the Internet: Sometimes, iTunes-related errors can happen because of your computer’s internet connection and not your iPad. If iTunes isn’t starting, make sure your computer is connected to the internet. You can do this by trying to access your favorite website. If your website doesn’t load properly or at all, you’re likely dealing with an internet connection issue.

Update Your iPad: If you’re connected to the internet and still unable to access iTunes, it’s time to consider updating your iPad’s software. You can find the latest iOS version for your iPad on Apple’s official website. After letting your iPad update, try to connect it to iTunes.

Double-Check Your iPad’s Time and Date: Every iPad depends on an internal clock. This clock allows an iPad to display the correct time and date. However, for several reasons, you might find that your iPad is no longer set to the correct date and time zone. If this happens, it can impair your iPad’s ability to properly connect to iTunes.

Here are the steps you’ll need to follow to fix this problem:

Open the “Settings” app

Select “General”

Choose “Date & Time”

From there, you’ll only need to adjust your iPad’s date and time settings with the correct ones for your location.

9. Fast Draining Battery

ipad problem solving

Something that many electronic owners struggle with is a battery that drains quickly. When you have new electronics, it’s easy to enjoy using these devices for a long time. However, after continued use and charges, the original battery in an iPad will begin to drain quicker in between charges.

Most iPads contain batteries that work for about 10 hours before needing a recharge. However, using apps that require more power can lower this amount of time. The main sign of a problem with your iPad’s battery becomes noticeable when it drains while you’re not using your iPad.

Check the Health of Your iPad: Fortunately, Apple continues to improve how easy it is for people to use and maintain their iPads. One way this company does this is by letting you check your iPad’s battery health. To do this, complete the following steps:

Go to the iPad’s “Settings” menu. 

Tap the “Battery” section. 

Go to “Battery Settings.”

Select the “Show Detailed Usage” option.

Tap the “Last 7 Days” option.

If you completed these steps correctly, you’ll see a list of what usage patterns or apps are causing your iPad’s battery to drain quickly. By resolving these issues, you should soon start noticing that your iPad’s battery lasts longer.

Consider Replacing Your iPad’s Battery: Sometimes, built-in battery life extenders won’t help a battery that’s received a lot of use. If this is the case, your best bet would likely be to replace the battery inside of your iPad. However, it’s important to note that replacing an iPad’s internal battery is not a task that everyone will want or be able to do.

If you’re interested in replacing your iPad’s battery, you’re going to need a few specialized tools or a toolkit for repairing iPads. It’s also worth noting that it’s possible for an inexperienced repair person to wind up damaging an iPad instead of replacing its battery.

Contact an iPad Repair Professional: If replacing your iPad’s battery isn’t an option, it’s now time to contact a professional. An iPad repair professional should be able to diagnose and solve any issues impairing your iPad’s battery life.

Find Out About Your iPad’s Warranty: When you’re considering replacing your iPad’s battery, it’s understandable to assume that you’re on your own. However, this isn’t always the case. If your iPad is under an AppleCare warranty, you can get your iPad’s battery replaced for free. All you need to do is bring your iPad to a nearby Apple store.

Something that no iPad owner wants to see is a damaged screen on this device. A damaged screen can make an iPad hard to use. It can also potentially make performing basic functions on an iPad quite painful on your fingers!

With this type of repair, there’s only one true solution if you’re unable to fix a broken iPad screen. At this point, your solution is to contact a professional iPad repair person. You might be able to find what you’re looking for by searching locally. However, to find the repair professional you need right away, there is a more simple solution.

Should I Repair iPads by Myself or Contact A Professional?

ipad problem solving

After learning about the most common types of iPad problems, it’s understandable to wonder if you should repair these devices yourself or have someone take care of these situations. The truth is that there are both advantages and disadvantages of either option. 

To give you a better understanding of which option to choose, here’s more information about repairing electronics or hiring a repair professional.

When It’s Best to Repair Electronics Yourself

The main way to determine if you’re ready to start repairing electronics comes down to how comfortable you are with this type of work. If you’re new to repairing electronics, be prepared for more than a few moments of frustration. 

Another factor to consider is how much money your company has to spend. You can avoid the expenses associated with hiring an electronics repair person if you do it yourself. However, you’ll also need to spend some money to buy test electronic devices to practice your skills on.

When You Should Contact a Professional

Now, let’s learn more about why it could be better for your business to have a professional repair this company’s iPads. The first thing to think about is how much money your company has for this expense. 

If you have a little room in your company’s budget, hiring an electronics repair person can be a smart move. On the other hand, this wouldn’t be the best move if your company is strapped for cash.

Another factor to consider is how much spare time you have. Running a business is something that takes a lot of time to accomplish. With that in mind, you might soon find your days filled with business-related tasks to take care of. If this is the case, you’re unlikely to have the time it takes to repair electronics. This would make hiring a repair professional a wise decision.

Using the iPad for interactive problem solving

In a conventional lecture class, an instructor typically finds out whether students have learned the material only after it has been assessed, which can happen days, weeks, even months after the material was presented. But particularly in a class that demands mathematical reasoning skills, inviting students to show their thinking publicly during class allows the instructor to get a sense of students’ understanding and reasoning in order to make adjustments in real-time. Dan Levy invites students to use an iPad projected to the front of the class in order to demonstrate the steps they take to solve a problem. In this video, Levy explains how this practice invites students to be a “part of the learning process” for the whole class.

  • Classroom Considerations
  • Relevant Research
  • Related Resources
  • Start small. Especially at the beginning of a course, work to get students comfortable with public problem-solving using less complicated questions. Vocalize that your intention for using interactive problem-solving is to gain insight into student thinking, not as a “gotcha” tool for wrong answers.
  • Examine thinking as much as answers. Use interactive problem-solving to check the effectiveness of your lectures and to identify which topics and skills students are mastering and which ones may require reteaching.
  • Communicate the value of well-reasoned wrong answers. For students, demonstrating thinking publicly can be uncomfortable, so making it O.K. to be wrong will ease some of that discomfort.
  • In a review of previous research on iPad use in higher education, researchers found that students hold positive attitudes about using iPads in the classroom and are motivated to learn when using the technology. In contrast, professors tend to be more skeptical of iPad use in the classroom because such devices can be distracting. Authors caution that although some studies do provide evidence in favor of iPads and their role enhancing student experiences, more research is needed to develop pedagogical guidelines that improve academic achievement ( Nguyen et al., 2014 ).
  • Hattie and Timperley conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the link between feedback and student learning and achievement. The type of feedback with the highest effect size involved error correction and giving students information about how to execute a task more effectively ( 2007 ).  
  • According to Shute, features of effective formative feedback include verification, elaboration, and specificity ( 2008 )
  • Formative feedback can be used to emphasize a learning goal orientation by showing students that skills can be developed with practice and effort and that mistakes are a part of the learning process ( Hoska, 1993, p. 105 )

ipad problem solving

Feb 29, 2024 • Filed to: Mobile Repair Solutions • Proven solutions

Even though Apple is known to produce some of the best devices out there, users still face iPad problems every now and then. It doesn’t matter if you own an iPad Air or iPad Pro, chances are that you must have faced a few Apple iPad problems in the past.

To help our readers, we have decided to compile an informative and stepwise guide for solving various iPad Pro problems. These solutions will come in handy to you on numerous occasions and will let you fix a wide range of issues related to your iOS device.

Part 1: Common iPad Problems

Part 2: basic solutions to fix common ipad problems.

If you have been using an iPad, then chances are that you must have faced some or other kinds of iPad problems in the past. For instance, when I first got my iPad, there was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. Nevertheless, I was able to fix that issue without much trouble. An iPad user can go through different kinds of problems. Some of these iPad Air or iPad Pro problems are:

  • • Can’t connect to the Wifi network
  • • The device has been frozen and is not responsive
  • • iPad has a black/red/blue screen of death
  • • The device has been stuck in the reboot loop
  • • Can’t put iPad in recovery mode
  • • The iPad battery is not charging or charging slowly
  • • The iPad keeps crashing
  • • The iPad touch screen is not working
  • • The iPad home button / power button is not working
  • • There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad, and more

It might surprise you, but most of these issues can be resolved by following a handful of solutions. It doesn’t matter what kind of issue you are facing, we are sure that after following these solutions, you would be able to resolve Apple iPad problems.

If you are facing any issue related to your iPad, take a step back and try to implement these solutions. From a network issue to an unresponsive device, you would be able to fix it all.

1. Restart your device

This might sound simple, but after restarting your device, you would be able to resolve different kinds of issues related to it. It is one of the easiest solutions to plenty of iOS-related issues. As you restart your device, its ongoing power cycle would be broken. Therefore, after starting it again, you can overcome plenty of network or battery-related issues.

To restart an iPad, simply press the Power (sleep/wake) button. Ideally, it is situated at the top of the device. After pressing the button, a Power slider will appear on the screen. Just slide it to turn off your device. Once your device is turned off, wait for a while and start it again by pressing the Power button.

2. Force restart your device

If your iPad has been frozen or is not responding, then you can fix this issue by force restarting it. The method is also known as “hard reset”, as it manually breaks the power cycle of your device. Consider this technique as manually pulling the plug of your device. While it usually produces productive results, you should avoid forcefully restarting your iPad every now and then.

Force restart the iPad with the home button: To do this, simply long-press the Home and the Power (wake/sleep) button at the same time. Ideally, after 10-15 seconds, your device’s screen will go black and it will be restarted. Let go of the buttons when the Apple logo would appear on the screen. By forcefully restarting your device, you would be able to resolve various iPad problems without much trouble.

Force restart the iPad without the home button: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button first and then press and quickly release the Volume Down button. After that, long-press the Power button until the iPad restarts.

3. Reset network settings

There are times when we face a network-related issue on an iPad. For instance, if you are not able to connect it to a Wifi network or can’t send or receive messages, then you can resolve it with this technique. Simply reset the network settings on your device and restart it to fix various iPad pro problems.

Go to your device’s Settings > General and under the “Reset” section, tap on the option of “Reset network settings”. Confirm your choice to restart your device. Additionally, you can also choose to reset all settings on your device as well if you are facing frequent Apple iPad problems.

4. Erase all content and settings on the device

The solution is similar to performing a factory reset on your device. If you are having connectivity issues or are not able to use your iPad the ideal way, then you can also erase its content and settings. Though this will erase your data from your device and you should take its backup beforehand to avoid any unwanted situation.

To reset your device, go to Settings > General > Reset and tap on the option of “Erase all content and settings”. Confirm your choice and wait for a while as your device would be restarted. When there was a problem downloading the software for the iPad, I followed the same drill to resolve the issue.

5. Put iPad into Recovery Mode

If you have got a black screen of death on your iPad or if the device is just not responding, then you can fix this issue by putting it in recovery mode. Afterward, by taking the assistance of iTunes, you can just update or restore your device.

  • 1. Firstly, launch iTunes on your system and connect a lightning/USB cable to it.
  • 2. Now, long-press the Home button on your device and connect it to the system. This will display the “Connect to iTunes” symbol on the screen.
  • 3. After when iTunes will recognize your device, it will generate the following pop-up message. Just agree to it and restore your device.

You can choose to update or restore your device. Though, if after an update, your iPad stuck in the recovery mode , then you can follow this guide and resolve this issue.

6. Put iPad into DFU Mode

If your device has been bricked, then you can fix these iPad problems by putting it in DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. After putting iPad in DFU mode, you can take the assistance of iTunes to restore it. Though, consider this as your last option as you would end up losing your data files while following this technique. Connect your device to the system and follow these steps:

  • 1. To put your iPad in DFU mode, hold the Power and Home button simultaneously for 5 seconds.
  • 2. Keep holding both the buttons for another ten seconds. Now, let go of the Power button while still holding the Home button.
  • 3. Wait for at least 15 seconds till your iPad will enter the DFU mode.

Love the new UI

I got the update and soo fall in love with it. I visually play at night so the Dark Mode is very helpful. Keep it going, Figgerits.

Developer Response ,

We are truly happy that you enjoyed our game. Thank you so much for your evaluation. Your praise will help us to create more interesting games.

Too many ads and repetition

Started off great but then it’s back to back ads every single time you finish a puzzle, and no matter if your sound is off the ads are full volume. Then when you unlock “special” puzzles, you have to watch an ad, and it’s a repeat puzzle you’ve already unlocked previously. In my opinion, fix the repetition and reduce some of the ads.

It started well, but

The game started very well, although it was lacking a way of scoring any points, rewards etc. Now it reached a Random level, however the puzzler never matches what the category it laid on?? It is all repeat after that, and you lose interest after a whole
