Ipad Air Will Not Turn On After Update. Power on the iPad. A hard reset forces your iPad to abruptly turn off and back on which will usually fix the problem if your iPad has frozen on the Apple logo.
Have a look now. But some owners of older iPads came a cropper when trying to switch their devices back on after completing the update. Open Control Center and tap AirDrop and choose Contacts Only or Everyone.
Keep holding down your Power button but also now press and hold.
Press and hold both the Home and the Top or Side buttons at the same time. If you dont see AirDrop then go to Settings General Restrictions and Allow AirDrop. Tap the update then tap Delete Update. To turn your device back on press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo.
