Hi refturner,


Here are three steps you can try to attempt to restore your iPad.


1. If you are getting an error message when trying to restore, your related article If you see error 9, 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as well as this one if you don't see the error number or message If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod are great to follow.


2. If it persists, and you are getting an error message, try another computer if possible.


3. You can also try to update in recovery mode by following If you can't update or restore your iPhone or iPod touch. Here's a YouTube video from Apple Support on how to do this too. Follow the steps in "Enter Recovery Mode." Note: While the title says iPhone, it says at the beginning of the video it is for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. How to restart your iPhone if it’s frozen on the Apple logo


Hope this helps.


Have a good day.
