I followed all the instructions for putting ipad in recovery mode. However for the last 24hrs it has been preparing ipad for restore. Please help. I need my ipad to work again. I don't mind that all data is wiped I just need to be able to use it
iPad, iPadOS 13
Okay, we have to start somewhere. Have you attempted a forced-restart?
If iPad isn’t responding, do one of the following:
If iPad doesn’t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t turn on or is frozen.
Hello,
Please refer to the following Apple Support document.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
My ipad won't go past this...
I have already followed this information... I've actually tried multiple times.
Rather than concentrate on failure of the procedure that you are attempting - what, precisely, are you attempting to achieve?
To have my ipad work. This is all it is showing whether I restart or turn it off I get that screen. Then I try to update and/or restore it and goes back to this.
The ipad is new this year.
Yes I have done this all of this
I get to the step of recovery mode like picture i showed and can't get past this.
If you’re stuck, perhaps your best way forward it to attempt a DFU Restore.
Here is a link to one of the better guides:
