There are two ways to reboot an iPad: a hard reset and a factory reset. If your device is freezing or malfunctioning, it's best to first try a hard reset, and if that doesn't work to resolve your glitch, then to try the factory reset, which restores your iPad to factory default settings. Factory resets should only be used as a last resort. You may want to take your iPad into the Apple Store for a Genius Bar appointment before trying the factory reset, as it could result in permanent data loss. Method 1 of 2:
Hard Reset
1.Press and hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPad) simultaneously.
2, Continue holding both buttons until the iPad shuts off and begins to restart. This will take anywhere from 15-60 seconds.
Ignore the prompt to power off your iPad. If you power off your iPad, you are not performing the hard reset. Keep holding the buttons down simultaneously.
3. You may let go when you see the silver Apple logo. You have now completed the hard reset successfully.
Don't be alarmed that it takes quite a while to load from the Apple logo to the main screen. This is normal.
4. once you went through all the steps you should see that your iPad is off. Now turning on like you normally would. If you continue to have issues I suggest you do what I outlined at the top of this letter which is go see a Apple mac genius. Before you tried a factory reset.
