Troubleshooting

iPad Pro won't turn on

Ensure the iPad is charged. Connect it to a power source using a compatible USB-C cable and adapter for at least 15 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, try a force restart by quickly pressing and releasing the volume up button, quickly pressing and releasing the volume down button, then pressing and holding the top button until the Apple logo appears.

Slow performance or app crashing

Close unused apps running in the background. Restart your iPad Pro. Check for iPadOS updates in Settings > General > Software Update. If a specific app is causing issues, try deleting and reinstalling it. Ensure you have sufficient free storage space.

Wi-Fi or Cellular connection issues

Toggle Wi-Fi and Cellular off and on in Settings. Restart your iPad Pro. Reset network settings by going to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Network Settings (this will erase saved Wi-Fi passwords). Ensure your router is functioning correctly for Wi-Fi issues.

Apple Pencil not connecting or responding

Ensure your Apple Pencil is compatible and properly paired. For Apple Pencil Pro, ensure it's magnetically attached to the iPad Pro. Check for iPadOS updates. Try restarting your iPad Pro. If issues persist, unpair and re-pair the Apple Pencil.

Display issues (e.g., flickering, dead pixels)

Restart the iPad. Check if the issue persists in different apps or with different content. If the problem continues, it may indicate a hardware issue. Contact Apple Support for further assistance, especially if the device is under warranty.
