Trying a forced restart or hard reset is always a good troubleshooting step if your iPad stuck in the bootloop and other issues caused by software glitches. The tablet being wet or damaged could also trigger a restart loop eventually. On the other hand, the loop circle could also end up being caused by the hardware failures, such as a bad battery connector, insufficient power, multiple battery/ screen replacements. There may be other issues on system that are causing an iPad to get stuck in the never ending reboot loop. For example, iPad Pro models from 2018 onward are constantly rebooting after updating from iPadOS 13.3.1 to 13.4.1, or from iPadOS 13.4.1 to 13.5.
Most often, the iPad starts a reboot loop following the recent release of iPadOS or iOS update, along with the white Apple logo and progress bar hanging on the screen. Lucky You, This Is Now Your Issue to Resolve! The methods apply to all series of iPad Pro, Air and Mini that get stuck on an infinite boot loop, no matter which version of iOS or iPadOS the tablet is running on.
We're going to cover the Basic Approaches including hard resetting the boot-looping iPad, checking charging port and USB cable, and using iTunes or a dedicated troubleshooter to update the software, as well as the Advanced Solution including iPad recovery mode and DFU mode. You won't restore the device through iTunes or the restore fails with error code (3194, 9, 4013, 14, 75, etc.)ĭon't assume the worst, though, the boot problems have been easy to circumvent by running through the troubleshooting steps detailed below, before setting up a genius appointment in Apple.
IPad users might begin to run into an issue that the iPad is stuck in reboot loop and keeps restarting on its own (but never boots to the Home screen) - that is, the screen goes to Apple logo, flashes off (sometimes flashes red), then restarts the loop of rebooting continues over and over.
