I had the same problem with my M2 iPad Air, and ChatGPT told me to do this instantly worked. but you have to follow the instructions Yes — here’s the clean, repeatable fix for an iPad stuck in a reboot loop (Apple logo → restarts → logo again). Start at Step 1 and only move on if it doesn’t work. ⸻ Step 1 — Force restart (fastest, safest) This fixes temporary system crashes. If your iPad has Face ID (no Home button): 1. Quickly press Volume Up → release 2. Quickly press Volume Down → release 3. Press and HOLD Power 4. Keep holding until you see the Apple logo, then let go If your iPad has a Home button: 1. Hold Home + Power together 2. Keep holding until the Apple logo appears 👉 If it boots normally, you’re done. ⸻ Step 2 — Recovery Mode (most common real fix) Use this if it keeps looping. What you need • A Mac or Windows PC • A cable • Finder (Mac) or iTunes (Windows / older macOS) Steps 1. Connect iPad to the computer 2. Force-restart but DO NOT release when the Apple logo appears 3. Keep holding until you see the cable → computer screen 4. On the computer, choose Update (NOT Restore) Why “Update”? It reinstalls iPadOS without deleting data. ⏱ Takes 10–30 minutes. If it finishes → fixed. ⸻ Step 3 — DFU Mode (deep fix, last resort before repair) Use only if Recovery Mode fails. ⚠️ This is more advanced. Follow exactly. Face ID iPads: 1. Plug into computer 2. Press Volume Up, release 3. Press Volume Down, release 4. Hold Power for 10 seconds 5. While holding Power, hold Volume Down for 5 seconds 6. Release Power, keep holding Volume Down for 10 seconds ✔ Screen stays black ✔ Computer detects an iPad Choose Restore (this WILL erase data)

Thanks
