| Post subject: | iPad won't restore |
i have an iPad that froze up while doing zoom i bought it in 2018 and not sure what version - just says 'iPad' I went through the steps to try to update / restore it, and when i hook it up to my laptop - it always just gets stuck saying 'your mac is preparing to restore the software on this ipad' .... was like that for an hour the iPad showed a screen as though a status bar would begin to load, but the status bar just stayed empty forever my mac is fully up-to-date on software updates help me RM-wan kenobi you're my only hope |

https://setapp.com/how-to/reset-ipad I would try doing a full reset, after charging for a while with a charger first. If it's important that you restore it, then try that via your mac later. There are different ways of doing a reset, depending on what is going on. The link above explains different scenarios. |

i would make it but it would probably get moved / locked / result in childish name-calling but if you do it, YOU DO IT, then - oh well - sheesh - it will be totally brilliant / cool / acceptable / not moving / not locking MR PERFECT |

Reject their question about restoring. |

Connect your device to your computer using the cable that came with your device. You should see this message: "There's a problem with the [your device name] that requires it to be updated or restored." Click Update (not Restore) to reinstall iOS or iPadOS and keep your personal data. |
