min iPad will not shut off can not do anything on it

Not so much difficult.
Just hold down all of the three four buttons together on any iphone having any ios version. It will turn off. Then just power it on.

You can force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

Shut down

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.

If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.

Thanks so much for the excellent instructions. Apps are downloading now on my iPad.

So about thirty minutes ago my Cribbage app finished - I won the game - and it wouldn't let me 'X' out to finish and no buttons on the iPad worked, not even POWER OFF. This was super weird!

So I had to restore my iPad from the cloud and your instructions worked perfectly! Much appreciated.

Let your battery run down completely, recharge and try the Recovery Mode again.

Note: if iPad can connect to the internet after the battery is recharged, it will start the erase process.

Thanks! This worked perfectly.

TThis didn't work as I keep getting messagesaying iPad is offline. How do,I fix this?

Works! Thx!
