This brief tutorial will explain how to force your iPad to restart if it gets stuck or freezes up.
Just to ease your mind – forcing your iPad to restart will not cause any loss of data – with the possible exception of any work you were doing at the time the iPad and/or App froze, forcing you to reboot it.
- It’s actually very easy, once you know how to do it. Click and hold down the Sleep/Wake button (located on the upper-right corner of your iPad). While you’re holding down the Sleep/Wake button, hold down the Home button as well (located on the front of your iPad at the bottom).
- Hold down both buttons until your iPad powers off. It will reboot and start again with a small silver Apple image on the screen. It takes about 30 seconds for the iPad completely start up.

comprei paguei em prestação, e ele simplesmente travou, reiniciei e travou de novo, entao levei na assistencia tecnica, o problema foi no mainframe do ipad
resultado o conserto ficaria mais caro que um novo, resultando a perca de uma grana violenta
lamentavel a apple

“ipad is disabled”
“connect to itunes”
is the only thing that any of the reset suggestions brings up and then when you connect to itunesyou get itunes message
“Itunes unable to connect to ipad because this ipad is disabled”
