Troubleshooting

iPad Air won't turn on or respond.

Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a power adapter for at least 15 minutes. If it still doesn't respond, perform a force 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.

Check your router and modem to ensure they are working correctly. Try restarting your Wi-Fi router. On your iPad, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, turn Wi-Fi off and then on again. You can also 'Forget This Network' and reconnect.

Apps are crashing or performing slowly.

Ensure your iPadOS is updated to the latest version. Close unused background apps by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and swiping apps off the top. Restart your iPad. If the issue persists with a specific app, try deleting and reinstalling it.

Battery is draining faster than expected.

Check battery usage in Settings > Battery to identify apps consuming the most power. Reduce screen brightness, enable Low Power Mode (Settings > Battery), and disable Location Services for apps that don't require it. Ensure background app refresh is managed (Settings > General > Background App Refresh).

Face ID is not working.

Ensure your face is not obstructed and your fingers are not covering the TrueDepth camera. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and try resetting Face ID. Ensure your iPad is held in portrait orientation for Face ID to work correctly for unlocking (it works in landscape for app purchases or autofill).
