Sometimes the iPad apps freeze and the iPad gets struck along with time. To fix this kind of problems resetting the device is one of the solutions.

Begin by pressing the hold and home buttons at the same time. The hold button is the one on the top right corner of the iPad. The home button is the round one at the bottom center of the iPad’s front.

• Continue to hold these buttons until one of two things happen: either the screen will flash and go dark, or a red slider will appear at the top of the screen.
• If the slider appears, you can slide it to the right to turn off the iPad (or tap the cancel button if you change your mind).
• When the iPad’s screen goes dark, the iPad is off.
• Restart the iPad by holding down the Hold button until the Apple icon appears. Let go of the buttons and the iPad reset will be complete.
• The reset will not normally cause you lose data or settings.
• The above said instructions work with the following models
  • Original iPad
  • iPad 2
