I was initializing an iPad and was asked for the iCloud Apple ID. I entered it and the iPad froze with the circular Apple wait symbol showing at the bottom of the iCloud window. How do I reset the iPad?
iPad, iOS 9
If your iPad is unresponsive, connect your iPad to its Power Adapter. Then, while still connected to external power, try a forced-restart:
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:
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.
