A simple shut-down and restart of your iPad should stop the runaway process.


To turn off iPad, do one of the following:

  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button, then drag the slider.
  • On other iPad models: Simultaneously press and hold the top button and either volume button, then drag the slider.
  • All models: Go to Settings  > General > Shut Down, then drag the slider.



To turn iPad back on, press and hold the top button until the Apple logo appears.
