How To Turn Off Any iPad Model
Turning off an iPad without a Home button is slightly different from turning off an iPad with a Home button, but we’ll explain the differences. Here’s what to do:
How To Turn on Any iPad Model
Turning on an iPad is simple: just hold down the On/Off/Sleep button in the upper-right corner of the iPad until the screen lights up. When the screen lights up, let go of the button and the iPad boots. For iPads without a home button: Press and hold the On/Off/Sleep button as well as either the volume up or down button on the side of the iPad.
How to Reset and Hard Reset an iPad
Turning off an iPad isn’t quite the same thing as resetting an iPad, and it’s especially not the same as performing a hard reset on an iPad.
What If the iPad Won’t Turn On?
In some rare cases, an iPad won’t respond when you try to boot it up. If that’s the case, you need to force the iPad to restart. If you have an iPad with a home button, hold down the Power button and the Home button at the same time for around 5 to 10 seconds to force the device to restart. If your iPad doesn’t have a home button, it’s a little trickier. First, press and quickly release the volume up button. Then press and quickly release the volume down button. Finally, press and hold the Power button until you see the Apple logo appear.
Use Airplane Mode Instead of Shutting Your iPad Off
When you need to conserve battery life or take your iPad with you on an airplane, there’s no need to shut it down. Use your iPad at any time, including during takeoff and landing when laptops can’t be used, by putting the iPad into Airplane Mode.
