An iPad that is unresponsive and displays the Apple logo typically necessitates a forced restart or, in some instances, a restore operation if the restart fails to resolve the issue. For iPads equipped with a home button, this procedure entails simultaneously pressing and holding both the power and home buttons until the Apple logo vanishes and subsequently reappears. Conversely, for iPads lacking a home button, a rapid sequence of pressing and releasing the volume up button, followed by the volume down button, and then pressing and holding the power button until the Apple logo emerges is required. Should these steps prove ineffective, restoring the iPad via iTunes or Finder (on a Mac) may be deemed necessary.
