The iPad is a versatile device and comes highly rated by the customers who use it day in and out. There is no doubt that it has risen in popularity and is commonplace in most homes or offices. With that said, there is no single device without fault and because of that, the iPad does experience issues just like a phone or computer would.
If you have noticed that your iPad is struggling to operate or you have noticed that something just seems off, there are some common problems that may be to blame. Fortunately, most of these issues can be corrected with just a couple of simple clicks.
Below, we will go over some of those common issues and what you can do to get your iPad working at its optimum reliable self.
Wi-Fi Not Connecting
This is probably one of the most frustrating issues. You want to get onto the internet but can’t. Today’s world is tech savvy and relied heavily on the internet, so it is important to always be able to access it when you need it.
The first thing you want to do is peek at the settings and check the Wi-Fi connection. Make sure it is your connection and connected. If not, or you cannot find your connection, try to restart the router, and try again. If nothing, try to restart the iPad itself.
If the problem is specific to your network, navigate to your settings and then click on the Wi-Fi option. Tap forget this network and then attempt to reconnect. Still having issues? Try to reset your device completely.
Stuck on Startup Logo
Getting stuck on the startup logo can happen and may scare you when it does too. The issue often comes from a problem with the bootup software. To fix this problem, you will want to reset the iPad to its factory settings. This will delete your iPad’s data, so do try to get it to turn on before you attempt this (and save your data!).
To reset the device, press both the volume up and down buttons at the same time along with the power button. Then, hold the power button until the device starts to reset.
Failure to Charge
Yuck! You have a dead iPad and can’t get your work done or handle important business because of it. Not only is a dead battery inconvenient, but it can also become problematic if it happens too often too. If you have attempted to turn on your device or charge it only to find it is refusing the charge, you should double-check that the charger is indeed connected to the wall and that the charging cable works with other devices. You can also take a peek into the port and see if anything looks amiss.
Freezing Screen
A frozen iPad screen serves you no purpose and can only lead to frustration in the end. Before you ditch the device, you can try to turn the iPad off and then back on. This is usually the quick fix that mends the situation. If your screen is constantly frozen or does not allow you to navigate around at all, you will likely need to perform a hard restart on it.
Applications Keep Crashing
Applications can have a mind of their own sometimes and an occasional hiccup is nothing to worry about but if you notice that your apps constantly crash, there may be an issue.
First, close out of the app and try to restart it – this may just fix the problem. If not, check to see if the application has an update. As odd as it sounds, if an app has an update, it may not work at all for you. If neither of those options work, try to uninstall the app and then reinstall it and see if you have any luck.
Black Screen
So, you know you charged your device but for some reason, it won’t turn on. This can happen. If you have only a black screen on your iPad, it is possible the battery simply did not take a charge, so do try to charge it again. If this does not work, you will likely need to perform a complete reset on the device. Remember, a reset erases your data, so you want to try to get the device to turn on first before you jump into this step.
