How do I fix an unresponsive iPad stuck on the Apple logo and recover my unsynced drawings?
for the past few days, my ipad has been stuck on the apple logo. I've tried the method of forcefully shutting down the screen, but it immediately goes back to the apple logo, for approximately 15 minutes. the screen then goes black, and the logo reappears, and the cycle continues.. I haven't been able to back up my device for a while; It worked fine without a backup, and buying new iCloud storage isn’t cheap. I was originally using the 2nd option for storage which wasn’t enough. I thought it’d be fine to ignore the issue because that’s what I’ve always done, but now it’s an issue.
I specifically use this for drawing. my phone and ipad aren’t synced, so I'm worried about I won’t be able to access it again. I really didn’t want to ask, but I'm really scared it won't turn on again
this has happened before
when my ipad suddenly becomes unresponsive a black screen with a buffering circle appears, then it eventually powers back on by itself. recently, a bright pink flash appears on the screen just before it fully shuts down when I force it to close. I've backed up my phone and bought 6TB of iCloud storage, but I'm not sure if it’ll do anything now. If anyone has tips or suggestions, I don’t have the money to go to a nearby apple store for a repair, especially with the risk of losing my drawings and images
I’ve also tried to open the recovery system, but like I mentioned, it immediately goes back to the logo after forcibly being shut down; there’s no pause in between like usual. It’s on some sort of loop. It dies normally, but it just won’t turn on
i’ve had it since 2020 is there another way to open recovery mode other than the volume up volume down and the power off button
i couldn’t afford to get storage a while ago now that i have it nothing is working i’m going to give up it’s just there now nothing has happened
