If your iPad screen freezes completely and won’t respond to touches, a hardware force restart clears the glitch safely. I’ll show you the exact button sequence to shut down and reboot your iPad in seconds.
1. Press and Release Volume Up
Quickly press and immediately release the **Volume Up** button on the edge of your iPad.
2. Press and Release Volume Down
Immediately press and quickly release the **Volume Down** button.
3. Press and Hold Top Power Button
Press and hold the **Top Power button** continuously. Keep holding your finger down even when the screen goes dark.
4. Release at the Apple Logo
Release the button as soon as the white **Apple logo** appears on screen. Your iPad will reboot fresh.
Helpful Tips
For older iPads with a physical round Home button, press and hold both the **Home button** and the **Top Power button** simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. For more iPad troubleshooting, browse our Apple iPad hub.
