Troubleshooting
iPad won't turn on or is unresponsive.
Ensure the iPad is charged. Connect it to a power source for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, perform a force restart: Press and hold both the `Sleep/Wake` button and the `Home` button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Apps are crashing or freezing frequently.
First, try force-closing the app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (or double-pressing the Home button), then swiping the app card upwards. Reopen the app. If the issue persists, check the App Store for app updates or iOS updates (Settings > General > Software Update). You may also need to delete and reinstall the problematic app.
Wi-Fi connection issues (slow, dropping, or not connecting).
Restart your Wi-Fi router and your iPad. On your iPad, go to `Settings > Wi-Fi`, tap the 'i' icon next to your network, and select `Forget This Network`. Then, reconnect to the network. If problems continue, ensure your iPad's iOS is up to date.
iPad is performing slowly or lagging.
Close unnecessary apps running in the background. Check your storage via `Settings > General > iPad Storage` and delete large files or unused apps to free up space. Restarting your iPad can also help clear temporary files and improve performance.
Screen orientation doesn't change when rotating the iPad.
Check if Orientation Lock is enabled. On older iOS versions, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center and tap the lock icon. On newer iOS versions, swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center and tap the lock icon to toggle it off.
