Have you tried doing a force restart of your iPad?


To do this if you have a model with a home key, press and hold both the home button and the power button till you see the Apple Logo. Once you see the logo, release both buttons and allow the iPad to load normally.


If you have a model with no Home Button:

  1. Quickly Press and Release Volume Up
  2. Quickly Press and Release Volume Down
  3. Press and Hold the Sleep/Siri button until you see the Apple Logo

On either version, if you see a slider "Slide to power off" just ignore the slider and continue to hold the button(s) until you see the Apple Logo. Once you see the Logo, you can release the button(s) and let the iPad continue to boot normally. This can correct a lot of glitches and restore functionality.
