Troubleshooting
iPad Pro won't turn on.
Ensure the iPad is charged. Connect it to the power adapter and a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, try a force restart by quickly pressing and releasing the volume up button, then quickly pressing and releasing the volume down button, then press and hold the top button until the Apple logo appears.
Slow performance or app crashes.
Close unused apps running in the background. Restart your iPad. Ensure your iPadOS is up to date via Settings > General > Software Update. Check if the app itself needs an update in the App Store.
Wi-Fi connection issues.
Toggle Wi-Fi off and on in Settings. Restart your iPad and your Wi-Fi router. Forget the Wi-Fi network and reconnect by re-entering the password (Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the 'i' icon next to the network name, then 'Forget This Network').
Thunderbolt accessory not recognized.
Ensure the accessory is powered on and properly connected. Try a different Thunderbolt cable or USB-C port on the accessory. Restart your iPad Pro. Check the accessory manufacturer's website for compatibility information and any necessary driver updates (though most are plug-and-play).
Display seems dim or colors are off.
Check auto-brightness settings (Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Auto-Brightness). Ensure True Tone and Night Shift (if enabled) are set as desired (Settings > Display & Brightness). For HDR content, brightness will vary; check content source for HDR support.
