3. Put your iPad into recovery mode and update

In this method, you will need to use iTunes to solve the issue via recovery mode. To do this, see the following steps.

1. Turn off the iPad using the power button. Launch the iTunes latest version by double-clicking the icon of iTunes on your PC.
2. Connect the iPad to the iTunes software by letting iTunes detect it.

3. For iPads with Face ID and without the home button:

   First press and release the button for volume up, then press and release the button for volume down, and lastly press and hold the side button until you can see a screen of recovery mode. When the Apple logo displays on the iPad screen, release the Power button immediately but keep pressing the home button.

   For iPads with the home button:

   Press the home button with the power button together for about 10 seconds on the iPad and wait. The iTunes logo will display on the iPad screen showing that it has entered recovery mode.

4. A pop-up message will appear on the iPad screen, on this message, click on the button for “Update”.

Keep the iPad and the computer connected until the iPad completed its recovery. The iPad should now boot again normally.

4. Put your iPad into DFU mode and restore (DATA LOSS)

DFU mode is different from recovery mode. You should only use DFU restore as a last resort if the other methods don't work. When you put your iOS device into DFU mode and attempt a restore, it is considered the most radical way to solve the problem, especially if your iPad is stuck on the Apple logo.

Step 1: Connect the iPad with iTunes on the MacBook or PC.

iTunes is a necessary part of this solution. You have to install the iTunes software on your system before you can continue with this solution.

iPad models operating without a home button:

Step 2: Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. While still pressing the power button, hold down the volume down button. Make sure to hold down both buttons for 10 seconds.

After that, release the side button but continue to hold the volume down button for 5 seconds.

If the screen of the iPad remains black, the iPad has successfully entered the DFU Mode. In that case, follow the prompt’s instructions to restore the iPad successfully.

iPad with the home button/touch ID:

Step 2: Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. While still pressing the power button, hold down the home button.

Be sure to hold down both these buttons for 10 seconds.

Step 3: Then, release the power button but keep holding the home button for 5 seconds. If the screen of your iPad stays black, the DFU mode is on.

Now, go ahead to restore your device by following the instructions.

Note:

• You need the latest version of iTunes software for this fix.
• All the device data will be deleted in this method.
• It is a lengthy and time-taking process.
• iTunes may not recognize the iPad at all.
• iTunes is not a very user-friendly software tool.
• Downloading iTunes can takes hours.

5. Check Computer USB Port & Lightning Cable

Defective or faulty cables can interrupt the connection between your iPad and the computer. The connecting end may come loose or get extremely heated while you are trying to restore your iPhone or trying to transfer the data. Here’s what you need to do with them.

Step 1: Check the USB port thoroughly. Make sure it doesn't contain any debris, and that it isn’t damaged or rusty. Rusty ports fail to create a stable connection between your iPad and the system.

Step 2: If the port is fine, connect the iPad and make sure there are no errors in the connection.

Step 3: Try a different USB port if the one you have been using does not work.

Step 4: Check the lightning cable properly. See if there is any damage on either side of the cable. Try a different cable, plug, or adapter to charge the iPad if the previous one is faulty.

Step 5: Check for an MFi tag (Made for iPad/iPhone/iPod) on all the iPad accessories. This indicates Apple certificated production. If such a tag/logo does not exist, use an original accessory.

After making sure that all the hardware and cables are working fine in the iPad, charge your iPad once again. Check to see if the problem has been solved. If it is not solved, check the next fixes.

Why is your iPad stuck on the Apple logo?

When your iPad won't switch on and is stuck on the Apple logo, it's generally because something has interrupted its normal booting process, possibly some system issues, hardware damage, jailbreaking, corrupt files, third-party security software, or insufficient memory.

1. Software crashes

Software crashes are the most common reason. It could be that you were transferring data between the iPad and computer with a non-official cable, and the transfer was interrupted because of cable incompatibility, poor network connections, etc. Or probably your iPhone operating system is outdated, etc.

2.Update issues

If you are simply upgrading from 14 or 15.1 version to 15.4, there shouldn't be any issue. If you are upgrading an old iPad with an old iOS version, say iOS 10, to the latest version, there are very strong chances that you will get your iPad stuck on the Apple logo.

Remember that older iPads are lower in specifications, while the new ios versions come with the latest graphics and features that require great CPU RAM and storage memory to properly run.

3. Storage issues

The more apps you download, the more notifications you will receive. As a result, your iPad starts to get stuck, especially when you perform multiple tasks on your iPad. It needs more space to run things in a normal way. That is how low storage creates problems, and your device stops functioning properly. Your iPad is stuck on the Apple logo.

4. Third-party softwares going faulty

Not fully compatible.

When you install third-party software, it is possible that it is faulty and not fully compatible with iOS, causing interruptions to your iOS device.

Third party apps may contain malware.

A third-party app downloaded outside the Apple store may contain some malware or bugs. It may be specifically designed to gain root access to your device, which is especially true if your iPad is jailbroken, hence the issue.

5. Jailbreaking

Jailbreaking is a process through which you break the security limitations set by Apple, so you can install unauthorized software or enable blocked features. This can result in severe bugs on your iPad.
