Ipad Pro shuts off while charging and requires a hard reset to turn on

Hello,


I got my iPad Wednesday, spent the evening getting it all setup. Restored from back up, ensured everything was there, wiped my iPad air 2 (sold it), deleted it's back up and went on with my normal routine.


At night it was down to 40% so I charged it and went to bed. When I woke up it was "dead". It wouldn't wake up. I needed to perform a hard reset to get it to come to life. Worked on it for a couple of hours and had to run an errand. Plugged it back in as I was going to need a full charge later that day. Came back to it, same thing. Dead. I needed to perform a hard reset to get it to turn on.


Used it more, then last night plugged it in and this morning, same thing. I am thinking that there is an issue with this iPad.


I am now restoring it, since that it what online support recommended I try. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?


Thanks.

iPad, iOS 9.1, This is an iPad Pro

This just happened to me. I bought my iPad Pro a week ago. Use it as my upstairs computer, so low usage. Plugged it in for the first time last night for a full charge, and nothing this morning. Read another, not Apple, posting about what happened. Per that site's advice, held the home & start buttons, and it came right back on. I did not loose any of my settings. Will try again tonight to see what happens. Glad to know it's just not me!! 😁 APPLE, please fix this!!

I had the issue several times initially and only a hard reset would start the iPad; a minor inconvenience really. Let's not get carried away. In the meantime I did a "Backup to Computer" and a recharge on my 2012 27" iMac via USB starting at 37% battery charge level. It did not cause any trouble and when I ejected it it was alive and well. At that point "Hey Siri" was not enabled.


A few days later I enabled "Hey Siri" and charged it using the charger of one of my older iPads (I have not yet used the charger that came with the iPad Pro) starting at the 57% battery level. The moment I unplugged it the iPad was alive and well at 100% charge.


While it is certainly unfortunate that the iPad Pro has these issues the upcoming software upgrade to iOS 9.2 should resolve it. This minor issue, while unfortunate, would not deter me from buying the iPad Pro.

Same problem. I was glad to find this thread. I was a bit shaken when I woke up yesterday with my sermon on my iPad and it was dead! Hard reset worked, but for the first time in years I actually printed a back up (I've been using an iPad Air without issue for years). Makes me wonder about the dependability of this new Pro. Same issue today . . .

I have two Ipad Pro 128 gig -- one with cellular, one with wi-fi only. Both had to do the reset thing after recharging over night. Thanks to this thread -- i did the 1) turn on siri and 2) Hey Siri trick -- both ipads have been working fine -- they have been working with this temporary fix for the past two and one-half weeks. As indicated in previous articles, the 9.2 iOS should fix the problem. Hope this helps. Rudy.

I Know the discussion is about the iPad pro but I have an iPad mini with the same problem. It started number of weeks ago. The hey Siri fix did not work for me as did none of the other suggested temporary repairs. I have appreciated all of the suggestions though. I have gone to my local Genius Bar and had a chat session with Apple care.. Neither person had even heard of the problem. I am tired of hard resets and hope the problem will be fixed.

I have the same problem. I installed the iOS 9.2 beta and this solved the problem. But I find it unbelievable how long it takes that Apple provides a official remedy. Why is there no update only for the iPad Pro users who are waiting for weeks ... I loved my Apple products by now but my love disappears!
