How to Force an iPad Mini to Reboot

If you ever find that your iPad has frozen usually due to an app failure and nothing on the screen is working when pressed you can try a force reboot.

To perform a force reboot you need to simultaneously hold down the top power button and the home button of the iPad until you see a black screen. Remove your finger only from the home button. Continue pressing on the Power button until the Apple logo appears on screen.

Once the Apple logo appears you can release your finger from the power button and wait for the device to start up.

This is just a way to restart the device and will not delete any of your personal information from the iPad.
