- QuestionMy iPad won't turn on after a reset. It just displays the Apple logo then shuts off. How do I fix this?
Community AnswerMost likely your iPad has been bricked. You can look online for various methods of unbricking iOS devices. One way is by connecting your device to a computer (if it is a Windows based system, you must have iTunes installed) and seeing if the computer can recognize the iPad. If not, you'll need to bring your device into the Apple store. - QuestionHow do I do a hard reset of my iPad?
Community AnswerPress the Off button for a long time and press Reset. If it's not there, go to Settings and tap Reset the same way. - QuestionMy iPad is connecting to WiFi but my Facebook and Gmail are not. What can I do?
