- About the Author
If you’re familiar with the old world of computers, you know that one of the simplest, yet mysterious, solutions to fixing a broken computer is to turn it off and turn it on again. On Windows PCs, you can accomplish this task by pressing the magical ctrl-alt-del keystroke combination, but with the iPad, you can duplicate this reset process by simply turning your iPad off, waiting a minute or two, then turning it back on.
The process of turning a computer off and back on clears its memory of any misbehaving programs that may have somehow managed to foul up your computer. Sometimes a poorly written app can mess with your iPad’s memory, preventing other apps from running correctly. If an iPad app seems frozen, unresponsive, or sluggish, you may need to restart your iPad.
To restart your iPad, follow these steps:
Hold down the On/Off button and Home button at the same time. After a few seconds, the red slider appears at the top of the screen, and then the screen should flash off and your iPad should shut down.
Release both the On/Off button and Home button.
Wait a bit.
Press the On/Off button to turn your iPad back on.
(Optional) If that doesn’t do the trick, try restoring your iPad (see Restoring Your iPad on page 250).
