For all the tech packed into your Apple iPad, it still has a tendency to misbehave and slow down if you install too many apps or run too many processes at the same time. Fortunately, Apple lets users reset their devices to their original factory settings, allowing you to wipe your tablet and enjoy it as if it were a new iPad. If you find that your iPad is running a bit slower than usual — perhaps it’s stuttering or lagging a little, or you’re having trouble loading a specific app or game, but it’s still responsive to your touches — then you should try a soft reset. You won’t lose any data or settings and nothing will be deleted from your iPad when you do a soft reset, so it’s the first thing you should try when you have an issue with your Apple tablet.
Step 3: Once the iPad is completely off, press and hold the Power button again until it starts up and you see the Apple logo on the screen. If your iPad screen freezes up, or you find that it’s not responding to taps in the usual way, then you may not be able to perform a soft reset. This is just an alternative method of turning your iPad off and on again, so, just like the soft reset, it won’t delete anything, and no data will be lost. You can back up using iTunes or iCloud, and we have a backup guide for the iPhone, which will work just fine for your iPad.
