iPAD Pro (2018) froze during OS Update

I was updating my devices but my iPAD PRO 11" (A1980) froze and I can't get it to recover. I've used the 3 button reset procedure, but it returns to the white screen with 'Swipe to upgrade' at the bottom as the only option. I can't get it to Force Quit or restart. I tried hooking to my iMac to recover, but the iMac doesn't even recognize it as being attached so I can't reset or reboot from there. I was having absolutely no problem with the iPad before the attempted update.


Any advice on how to restore?

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi

If your iPad is not recognised by your computer when connected, try using a different USB port. Otherwise, this support page may help with troubleshooting:

If you continue to experience difficulties, you might be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to provide assistance:
