Hard Reset iPad With Home Button

A hard reset will cause your iPad to restart no matter what function it’s performing. This is a great way to resolve a wide variety of problems your device might be experiencing.

1. Press and hold the Power button and Home button at the same.
2. Continue holding both buttons until your iPad screen goes black and the Apple logo appears.
3. Once you see the Apple logo, let go of both buttons. Your iPad should boot up normally from there.

Why this works:

A hard reset is a quick and effective iPad fix. It can temporarily resolve a number of software malfunctions, and can usually help indicate whether there’s a serious problem with your device or not. Performing a hard reset before more drastic troubleshooting measures can save you time and energy.
