iPad
My iPad isn't working correctly and I think I need to restart it. How can I do that?
To reboot an iPad, you can perform a warm reboot. Press and hold the Home button at the bottom of the screen along with the Power button. Continue to press and hold both buttons at the same time until you see the white Apple logo and then release. Your iPad will take about a minute to reboot.
My iPad is taking a very long time to charge or not charging. What is wrong?
First, make sure the display brightness and Auto Lock are set correctly. Open the Settings app on the iPad and scroll to find Display & Brightness. To the right, make sure the Brightness level is set to 1/2 and the Auto-Lock is set to 2 minutes. This preserves the battery power.
Next, warm reboot your iPad (see above question)
Finally, check the charger you are using. The iPad charger provided with your iPad will charge much faster than using an iPhone charger due to the wattage of the adapter.
How do I clean my iPad?
Please read the Apple link below for guidance on how to properly clean your iPad.
