Troubleshooting

iPad Pro won't turn on

Ensure the device is charged by connecting it to its power adapter and a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes. If the issue persists, try a forced restart by holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Wi-Fi connection issues

Toggle Wi-Fi off and on again. Restart your router and modem. Forget the Wi-Fi network on your iPad and reconnect. Check if other devices can connect to the same network.

Cellular data not working

Ensure Cellular Data is enabled in Settings. Check if your SIM card is properly inserted and active. Verify that you have a valid cellular data plan with your carrier. Reset Network Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings).

Touch screen unresponsive

Clean the screen. Remove any screen protectors or cases that might be interfering. Restart the iPad. If the issue continues, contact Apple Support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your iPad Pro, power it on by pressing and holding the top button. Follow the on-screen prompts to select your language, region, and connect to a Wi-Fi network. You can choose to set up as a new iPad, restore from an iCloud or computer backup, or transfer data directly from another iPad. Sign in with your Apple ID to access the App Store, iCloud, and other Apple services. For cellular connectivity, insert a Nano-SIM card into the SIM tray.

Compatibility: This iPad Pro runs on iOS 9. While it supports a wide range of apps available at the time of its release, compatibility with the very latest iOS applications designed for newer operating systems may be limited. Check individual app requirements on the App Store. It supports Bluetooth 4.2 for connecting accessories like keyboards and headphones. The Lightning port is used for charging and data transfer.

Care: To clean your iPad Pro, use a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays. Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures or moisture. For the display, a slightly damp microfiber cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters any openings. Protect the device from drops and impacts, especially given its large screen size. Consider using a protective case and screen protector.
