My iPad is completely frozen. it’s updated to the latest OS and this morning after charging all night, it’s just stuck on the lock screen.
If I try to it turn off by holding down the buttons there is not reaction and I can’t get off the lock screen in any way.
Anyone else tried this? Or know how to turn off an iPad in another way?
Otherwise I have to wait until the power shuts off, which shouldn’t take long as the screen remains on unless I push the top button…
Very strange!
Forced restart has worked for me in the past.
Yeah it doesn’t react at all when I do that. It’s frozen for no reason. So when the battery runs dry it will probably be possible
I have an old iPad that did that. Unfortunately once it started it kept happening every few weeks. Hope that’s not the case with yours…
Have you tried plugging it into a Mac?
There’s a recovery mode in … files, I think … though it might be in iTunes, if iTunes still exists.
Sorry for being vague, but I’ve done something like this before but it was a couple of years ago.
Thanks. The battery ran out and now it works fine after rebooting.
