iPads are expensive; there is no question about it. When you buy a device such as an iPad you want the most optimal performance you can get. But after a couple of months of use, you start running into problems. You shouldn’t be worried, though, as iPads are complex devices these days and function more as computers than reading devices. iPads can sometimes run into software issues that corrupt files or eat up memory. Fortunately, most common iPad problems can be solved at home and don’t require an Apple expert to solve. Here are some of the most common problems when dealing with iPads.  

Keeps Freezing

When browsing on your iPad, your screen may freeze or glitch to a standstill. This is likely due to an app corrupting files. If it happens only when you open a certain app make sure to delete the app and reinstall it. If it keeps happening, it may be that the app is broken and you need to wait until there is another patch to clear some of it up. Your iPad screen may freeze and you will need to power the device down to reset your iPad. If the screen still does not respond when you try to turn it off you will have to force the device to turn it off. Hold down the power button and home button for ten seconds. This will force the device to turn off and you will know it worked when it shows the Apple logo. If you do not have a home button hold down the volume up button quickly and release quickly. Then do the same for volume down, and then hold down the power button. The Apple logo should show itself. If this does not work, you will want to restore the device. We recommend consulting with a repair center before doing this, though, if you are unfamiliar with the process. Common iPad problems such as this can be annoying but usually are easily solved.

Not Charging

First, make sure your device is plugged in all the way. Both in the wall socket and the iPad. If you have not tried another charger do so now, especially if your cord shows open wire. If you are using a computer to charge and it is not charging, the port may be bad. Some computers can’t handle the transfer of energy to the iPad. If you have tried a new charger or the undamaged original charger and it still is not working you need to contact Apple support. You can also try to reboot your iPad or turn on airplane mode for a quick second. You can also use a repair company to look at your device. Troubleshooting this iPad problem seems mostly dependent on how you are charging your device. Do not try to go digging into the charging port. You can hire someone else to do that with the right tools. Broken charging ports are a common iPhone problem as well. Make sure to keep your device protected from almost anything by following these tips.

Not Turning On

You’ll want to make sure the iPad isn’t dead by plugging in a charging cable. If you know the device is fully charged, try holding down the power and home button till you see the Apple logo. This should restart the device. If you do not have a home button, quickly hold down volume up, then volume down, then hold down the power button until you see the Apple logo. You can also try using recovery mode by plugging your device into your computer. When the logo loads keep the buttons pressed down. It will then ask if you want to Restore or Update. It will then try to install a new version of IOS without deleting all of your data. Digital Trends writes a little more extensively on this if you want to check out their guide as well.

Won’t Connect to Wifi

You should try to get the device to forget the network then try entering the information again. If that doesn’t work, reboot the iPad. You can also turn off your wifi capabilities and then turn them back on. If the problem still persists, contact apple support or an iPad repair shop.
