Troubleshooting

iPad won't turn on or respond.

Ensure the iPad is charged by connecting it to power with the included USB-C cable and a 20W power adapter. If it still doesn't respond, try a forced restart: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button, press and quickly release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Top button until you see the Apple logo.

Wi-Fi connection is unstable or slow.

Restart your Wi-Fi router and the iPad. Ensure you are within optimal range of the Wi-Fi signal and check for any physical obstructions. You can also try forgetting the Wi-Fi network in 'Settings' > 'Wi-Fi' and then rejoining it.

Touch ID is not working reliably.

Ensure your finger is clean and dry when using Touch ID. Reregister your fingerprint in 'Settings' > 'Touch ID & Passcode'. Also, make sure the top button, where Touch ID is integrated, is clean and free from any debris.

Battery drains quickly.

Check battery usage in 'Settings' > 'Battery' to identify power-hungry apps and adjust their settings or close them. Reduce screen brightness, enable Low Power Mode, and manage Background App Refresh in 'Settings' > 'General'.

Apps are crashing or freezing frequently.

Force quit the problematic app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the App Switcher, then swipe the app's preview upward to close it. If the issue persists, try restarting the entire iPad or deleting and reinstalling the app.
