iPad. System Data. Showing non stop buffering + Other System Data shows -1 byte. What does this mean? My iPad runs slowly but I have masses of storage space.

If your iPad isn’t operating as expected, start with a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.



If the problem persists, it may be necessary to restore the iPad to factory settings.
