when i install apps on my ipad (broken), everything seems fine. when i try to fix the issue on that app by deleting it, the os wont let me. i’ve tried through settings, and it takes a long time. youtube videos wont help either. now im trying to see if i can factory reset the tablet. im worried that it will void my apple care coverage, and my paid apps will be gone.

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assist with troubleshooting:
