- Open Settings and tap on Safari > turn off Prevent Cross-Site Tracking toggle.
- Go to Settings > Safari > Hide IP Address and select Off.
- Open Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > turn the toggle off.
Basic Fixes:
- Restart phone and modem: Long-press the power button and use the slider to turn your device off. Then, turn off your modem. Wait a while and turn the modem back on. Once powered on, turn your Apple device back on and wait for it to connect to the Wi-Fi. Then, open Safari and check.
- Turn off VPN: Certain websites block VPN servers and can break if you open them when connected to a VPN. So, disable the VPN on your iPhone or iPad and load the page again on Safari.
- Clear Safari cache and browsing data: Safari uses cache and browsing data from your previous visits to enhance your browsing experience. However, corrupted data can cause issues when loading pages. So, use the settings menu to clear all Safari cache and browsing data.
- Disable Safari extensions: Certain Safari extensions, like ad-blockers, can block page elements. This can prevent the page from loading. When this happens, turn off ad-block and other Safari extensions. Then, try loading the page again.
- Update software: As Safari is part of Apple’s ecosystem, the only way to update the browser is by installing the latest software updates. So, ensure the recent iOS or iPadOS updates have been installed on your Apple device. Then, reopen Safari and load the page again.
Fix 1: Disable Prevent Cross-Site Tracking
Safari lets users prevent cross-site tracking to ensure their browsing habits are not recorded by the relevant website. However, this can cause webpages not to load properly on Safari. When this happens, disable this feature and check again. Here’s how.
Step 1: Open Settings and tap on Safari . Turn off the Prevent Cross-Site Tracking toggle.
Fix 2: Turn off ‘Hide IP Address’ in Safari
You can hide your IP address using Safari’s built-in tools. However, this can sometimes prevent Safari from loading pages that require IP access. So, disable this option and reload the page in Safari. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Open Settings → Safari . Tap on Hide IP Address and select Off .
Fix 3: Check Content Restrictions
If enabled, content restrictions can restrict certain site content in Safari, preventing the page from loading. So, open the relevant setting and disable all content restrictions on your Apple device. Here’s how.
Step 1: Open Settings and tap on Screen Time . Tap on Content & Privacy Restrictions .
Step 2: Turn off the Content & Privacy Restrictions toggle.

Fix 4: Enable JavaScript
Certain webpages require JavaScript to load properly. So, if JavaScript is disabled for Safari, it can also cause page loading issues. Open Safari settings and enable JavaScript. Follow the below steps to do it.
Step 1: Go to Settings → Safari . Scroll down and tap on Advanced .
Step 2: Turn on the toggle for JavaScript .
Also Read: How to fix Safari not loading images on iPhone
Fix 5: Switch to Google DNS
Your current DNS server can also be the culprit behind Safari not loading pages. To fix this, change your DNS server to Google DNS and try again. Here’s how.
Step 1: Open Settings and tap on Wi-Fi . Tap the i icon next to your Wi-Fi network.
Step 2: Tap on Configure DNS . From the options, select Manual .
Step 3: Here, remove the currently added DNS servers . Then, tap on Add Server .
Add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for Google DNS and tap on Save . Then, reopen Safari and reload the page.
Fix 6: Reset Network Settings
If pages still don’t load properly in Safari, reset all network settings on your iPhone or iPad. This will delete any custom Wi-Fi settings causing the Safari page-loading issues. Follow the below steps to do it.
Step 1: Open Settings and tap on General → Transfer or Reset iPhone .
Step 2: Tap on Reset → Reset Network Settings .
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the process. Then, reopen Safari and try loading the page again to see if the issue has been fixed on your iPhone or iPad.

Three Ways to Fix a Safari Browser Hijack in iOS 11
There’s a particularly nefarious form of hijackware that can take over Safari in iOS. Fortunately, there are three fairly easy ways to solve an iOS browser hijack (also called a Safari hijack): clearing your cache, disabling JavaScript, and using an external link to force open a new window or tab. I’ll explain each of these methods below.
You can skip to the instructions if you don’t want the description first.
Safari Hijack in iOS
A browser hijack, or safari hijack, is when a malicious webpage—or more likely, a malicious ad on an otherwise legitimate webpage—takes over your browser. There are a few different versions of this. One variant puts a dialog box on your screen asking you to call a phone number, like in the screenshot below.
WARNING: NEVER CALL A PHONE NUMBER LIKE THIS—IT’S A SCAM BY BOTTOM FEEDING SCUMBAGS TRYING TO TRICK YOU INTO GIVING THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO!
The way this one worked was that you couldn’t cancel or otherwise dismiss the dialog box. And see how it looks all official, like it’s something form Apple? It isn’t. Instead, it’s JavaScript shenanigans whose only goal is to get you to call the thieves and hand over personal data, credit card info, and sometimes remote access to your device.
So, as the warning says, don’t fall for this, never call a number like that, and use the methods below to get around a safari hijack like this if you stumble into one.
Browser Hijack Variant
Another variation is the one I encountered below. In this version, a maliciously—or maybe just poorly—coded ad didn’t hijack my entire browser. Instead, it hijacked the webpage I was trying to visit. No matter what I did, I was rerouted to some spammy BS site when I opened Safari.
These hijacks usually aren’t the fault of the site operator, and sometimes not even the ad network they’re on. Spammers and thieves are engaged in an unrelenting effort to get their maliciously crafted ads onto ad networks, especially the automated ones. While most of those networks remove the malware ads (eventually), the bad guys are always trying to get new ones in.

This didn’t help me at all, on my iPad. Still getting hijacked with regularity. What I mean is, even with JavaScript disabled, I get hijacked, bu at least can go back to the page. Problem is the sites where this is happening are useless without JavaScript. Amazed the hell out of me that I cannot blacklist sites in safari, or even chrome on iPad, I would need to use a wildcard as they change it but my tormenter begins with eu.*.out or something like that. Wild card in place of the field that changes each time. This is making browsing unusuable. One of the sites is huffingtonpost and they are basically unreachable anyway.
Sorry but this is just the ad network being weaponized. I will make a few repeat visits to sites where this happens and notify the site, but if it persists more than a couple of visits, that’s it, I’m blacklisting you. In general this is among the reasons “we can’t have nice things”, but that is the world we live in. If ad networks can’t fix this problem quickly, it will be the well-deserved end of them.
This happens to me at a few website that I regulalry visit. I will report to the webmaster who will investigate and 86 the ad, but a few days later the slimeball is at it again.
Maybe the answer would be for website to not allow advertisers to use javascript in the ads, just a simple link. It would probably speed up the page load.

What to do if Safari keeps crashing
Does Safari keep crashing on your Mac, iPhone or iPad? Is Safari running so slowly on your Mac that you can’t use it properly? Is Safari just closing on your iPad without warning?
In this feature we’re going to look at what to do when Apple’s Safari web browser isn’t working properly.
There are a few reasons why Safari might be crashing:
There might be something going on in the background of the website you are visiting (or one you have opening another tab).
You might be running an older version of the software with an issue that has since been fixed.
A webpage might be using a plug-in, an extension or other software that has a problem.
Your Mac might be running low on memory or storage space.
There are a few other things that could be causing issues. We’ll look at each below and explain how you can fix, or avoid the problem.
See also: How to use the Safari web browser on the Mac and How to speed up Safari
The first thing to check is how many tabs you have open in Safari. Including any sites you might have ‘Pinned’ in Safari on your Mac.
If you are anything like us, you open new tabs in Safari (Command+T on the Mac, or + on iOS) without closing the one you have stopped using (after all you might need to return to it). Should content of one of these tabs continue to run in the background, then it might be causing an issue.
Each tab or Safari window takes up a little space in memory. Have too many tabs open and Safari starts fighting for resources with other apps, and it ends up running far more slowly than it should.
This is more likely to be a problem on the Mac than the iPad or iPhone, but it’s still worth following the advice below on an iOS device.
How to close multiple tabs in Safari on the Mac
- Hold down the Option/Alt key and click on File.
- Choose: Close Other Tab (if you don’t press Option/Alt you will only see Close This Tab.
Every page other than the one you are looking at will be closed.
Close multiple Safari windows on the Mac
If you tend to open many windows while you are using Safari:
- Click on File
- Close All Windows
How to close multiple tabs in Safari on iPad/iPhone
Multiple tabs open on your iPhone or iPad? While this shouldn’t cause issues in the same way it might on the Mac, because the tabs you aren’t using will be suspended (they can still be active on a Mac, playing video for example), you may still benefit from closing them all down (least of all because it gets very difficult to find the tab you opened yesterday if you still have tabs open from this time last year).
- To close all your Tabs by tap and hold on the tab icon in the bottom right.
- A sheet will open with the options: Close All [Number] Tabs, Close This Tab, New Private Tab, New Tab.
- Tap on Close All [Number] Tabs.
Check what’s responsible
You could also look to Activity Monitor to see if a particular site is being singled out for taking up a lot of resources.
- Open Activity Monitor.
- Click on Memory.
- Sort by Memory to see what is using up the most of your RAM.
- You can select that site in Activity Monitor and then click on the X to close that process.
The benefit of this method is that you can close the page that is causing the problem and keep other pages open.
Update software
Apple regularly updates Safari to address security concerns, so it may be that you are experiencing problems that have been corrected by an update (or problems caused by a software update).
You could start by checking what version of Safari you are running.
- In the Safari menu on your Mac, click on Safari.
- Click About Safari.
- A box will pop up that states the version of Safari you are running.
However, your Mac should update Safari automatically whenever Apple releases an update to Safari, because Safari comes as part of macOS. So your version of Safari should be up-to-date as long as your MacOS is…
To check to see if there is an update to macOS you need to follow these steps:
If you are running Mojave:
- Open System Preferences.
- Click on Software Update.
- Your Mac will check for updates before comfirming if your Mac is, or isn’t, up to date. If you need to run an update do so as this may fix any issues you are experiencing.
If you are running High Sierra or older:
- Click on the Apple logo in the right corner of your Mac screen.
- Choose Software Update.
It’s the same on an iOS device. The update to Safari will come as part of the operating system update.
To check if iOS needs to be updated:
- Tap on Settings.
- Software Update.
Note that sometimes it’s a software update that causes the issues you are experiencing.
For example, back in January 2016, many iOS and Mac users found that their Safari browser would crash every time they tried to tap the URL bar or open a new tab. The Safari app would close, forcing them to launch it again, only for the issue to reoccur.
The problem was reportedly caused by Apple’s Safari Suggestions, the feature that offers up automatically completed URLs as you type in the URL bar.
By the end of January 2016 Apple had apparently fixed the problem with an update, but it seems that for a few months that year Safari continued to be plagued by the issue on and off.
Clear website data and cache
When you visit a web page in Safari it stores a copy of it in a cache. This copy enables it to load the web page faster next time you visit.
Sometimes the web will start to behave oddly if something goes wrong with the cache. Perhaps Facebook seems stuck on what it was displaying yesterday evening, for example.
The best way to fix this is to clear the cache.
How to clear Safari cache on a Mac
You can start by getting rid of all your website data, including your web browsing history.
- Click Safari in the menu at the top of the screen.
- Choose Clear History. In older versions of Safari this listed and Website Data as well, but in new versions Website Data is automatically cleared as well (unless you press Option/Alt in which case you see the option to keep Website history).
- This will actually clear data on all your devices that are logged on to the same iCloud account, so your Mac, iPad and iPhone can be done at the same time. Choose from the last hour, today, today and yesterday, and all history.
- Make your choice (we recommend All History) and click on Clear History.
That clears your history, but if you want to clear your cache specifically, follow these steps:
- Click on Safari > Preferences.
- Click on Privacy.
- Click on Manage Website Data.
- Selecting the Privacy icon and clicking the ‘Manage Website Data…’ button.
- You can delete all cookies and cache by clicking the Remove All button.
The problem with doing this is your Mac will ‘forget’ the autocomplete information you are probably used to it filling in, such as passwords and login details.
Another way to clear your cache is to use the Safari Developer menu to just clear the cache, leaving cookies and other info alone. We have more information about how to clear Safari cache here .
How to clear Safari cache on an iPhone/iPad
You can also clear your Safari cache on your iPhone of iPad. As with the Mac, we’ll start off by clearing your history and website data – which includes the cache. Here’s how to do that:
- Find Safari (in the list with Passwords & Accounts at the top).
- Scroll down to Clear Website and History data and tap on that.
That will clear all your history, cookies and other browsing data. Luckily it won’t change your AutoFill information.
It’s not possible to clear only the Safari cache on iPad or iPhone as you can on a Mac.
Remove Flash
Flash is software used to play video and other interactive content. Many websites switched to HTML 5 some years back because it is less problematic. We think you’ll be happier if you get rid of Flash.
Here’s how to uninstall Flash Player .
If you need Flash for some reason – you may see a Missing Plug-In alert, make sure you have an up to date version and make sure you get it from Adobe . One of the favourite disguises of malware is as a Flash update.
Turn off extensions
Extensions (often called plug-ins on other browsers) provide additional functionality to Safari, but they can cause problems.
- Choose Safari > Preferences > Extensions to see all the extensions on your system.
- Deselect any extensions you don’t want to run, or even better, uninstall them.
Older versions of Safari had the option to turn off extensions. This setting is no longer available in Safari.
If Safari works better with all extensions turned off, you could go through your extensions one at a time to find out which one is causing problems. Use the check-box next to each extension and turn them all off. Then turn them on one at a time to see which one is problematic, and leave that one set Off until an update is provided.
There are dozens of extensions available for Safari. Read more about the new Extensions for Safari here.
Turn off Virus scanners
Virus scanners pay close attention to Safari, because it’s the Mac’s main portal to the internet. It should allow you to get on fine, but if you have a virus scanner try turning it off to see if that helps. If that helps try switching to a different virus program.
Use Reader mode
If you find Safari isn’t working for just one website, you could try viewing it in Reader mode.
- Click on the icon that looks like a cluster lines on the left of the url/search bar.
- This will open a Reader view of the webpage, removing some of the things that could be causing problems for you, such as adverts.
You can choose for that website to always divert to Reader view.
Just right click on the Reader icon and choose Use Reader Automatically on [website name].
We have more information about using Reader view here .
Delete preferences
If you’ve tried everything else and Safari still doesn’t work you can delete the preferences from your Home/Library folder.
- Quit Safari and choose File > Go To Folder in Finder.
- Enter ~/Library/Safari/ into the Go To Folder Window (don’t miss the tilde ‘~’ at the start) and click Go. This opens your preferences folder.
- Drag everything in this folder to Trash and restart Safari.
When you restart Safari it will recreate these files as if you have just performed a clean installation.
How to use the Safari web browser on the Mac
Use another browser
Alternatively, try using a different browser. Some websites, especially old sites, struggle with providing support for a variety of browsers. Read our article that evaluates the best Safari alternatives here: Best Mac Browsers and the same for iPhone .
Get more RAM or clear some space
It might not be Safari’s fault. If your Mac (or iOS device) is running out of storage space, or you are low on RAM it might be causing problems for any apps you are running.
You could look into making more space on your Mac – more info here .
Of you could try and free up some RAM . Or Install more RAM in your Mac .

The iPad has grown in popularity since its initial release and has become the go-to tablet for many people. Occasionally, your iPad may freeze or stick while you're in an app or on the Home screen. A few things may cause the problem, but there are fixes you can try.
Information in this article applies to iPads with iPadOS 13 through iOS 9.
Some fixes take only seconds, while others take longer, but one of these fixes should get your iPad back up and running soon. Some fixes can be done on a frozen iPad, but some must wait until the iPad is running again to tackle the source of the problem.
Restart the iPad . Hold the Sleep/Wake button on the tablet for a few seconds. If you can shut down the iPad this way, a screen appears with a cue for you to Slide to power off . Do so and then press the Sleep/Wake button again to restart the iPad. If the iPad doesn't restart, perform a force restart.
Perform a force restart . Force the iPad to restart by holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time for a few seconds. Release the buttons when the Apple logo appears.
On iPads that don't have a physical Home button, press and release the Volume Up button, press and release the Volume Down button, and then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
Charge the battery. An iPad may appear frozen when it is running on an extremely low battery charge. Plug it in for an hour and try again. If the battery often runs low on the iPad, take steps to extend the iPad's battery life .
The remaining fixes for recurring freezes require that you perform each fix while you have access to the iPad Home screen—while it isn't frozen.
Delete a problem app . If your iPad freezes when you open a specific app, uninstalling the app may solve the problem.
You can reinstall apps you deleted by visiting the App Store .
Free up storage on the iPad . Apps are getting larger all the time. If you fill the space on your iPad with apps, it may freeze up on you. Taking the time to toss out apps you don't use anymore or track down those that hog all the memory can solve problems on your iPad.
Return the iPad settings to the defaults . It is possible to return all the settings on the iPad to the default settings without erasing your data and content. This option removes location settings, privacy settings, Apple Pay cards, Home screen layouts, and network settings on the iPad, all of which you have to input again. However, it leaves your data and apps intact.
Restore the iPad to factory defaults . If your iPad freezes because of an issue with its operating system, restore it to its factory defaults. This nuclear option clears all your data from the device and returns the iPad to a like-new condition. You need to reinstall your apps and data afterward. It's like starting over with a new iPad, although you can install a backup if you have one.
Back up your iPad regularly to minimize the amount of data you lose when restoring it.
If your iPad continues to lock up or freeze even after restoring it to its factory default settings, contact Apple Support or take the iPad to an Apple Store for technical help. It might be time to start looking for a new iPad, too.
Before you head out to the Apple Store, go online to make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar , so you won't have to wait long for technical support.
An iPad may become stuck or frozen for several reasons. Apps may be conflicting with each other, or one might have left a chunk of corrupted memory. Perhaps the battery needs to be charged, or there's not enough empty space on the iPad for it to function properly. In some cases, the problem might be with the tablet's operating system.

iPad is Stuck in App & Won't Power Off
Hi Apple Community,
My iPad is hung in the Snapseed app and I can't do a hard restart. I've tried several times and held the sleep/wake and volume down/up buttons simultaneously for a couple of minutes but nothing. I was going to just let the power run down but there's probably another way. Any suggestions?

Should you upgrade to the iphone 16, how to wirelessly transfer files between windows, macos, linux, and mobile.
On your iPhone or iPad, you can easily customize the Safari Start Page in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 (or higher). You can make the page blank (mostly), add a background image, or pick and choose what you want to see. Here's how.
First, open Safari on your iPhone or iPad and open a new tab by tapping the tabs button (two overlapping rectangles), then tapping the plus ("+") button.
You'll see Safari's "Start Page" by default. To edit what's on the Start Page, scroll down if necessary and tap the "Edit" button.
When you tap "Edit," a "Customize Start Page" window will appear. Use the switches beside the listed options to turn them on or off. Here's what each option does.
- Favorites: This displays items from your Favorites list (like bookmarks).
- Frequently Visited: You'll see a list of frequently visited websites.
- Shared With You: This gives you a list of items shared with you from other people through the Messages app.
- Privacy Report: This shows a report on the number of trackers Safari has blocked recently.
- Siri Suggestions: This displays suggestions from Siri related to what's in your history and bookmarks.
- Reading List: This shows items from your Reading List .
- iCloud Tabs: This shows Safari tabs that are synchronized across iCloud from your other devices.
While also in the "Customize Start Page" window, you can use the "three lines" handle beside each item to tap and drag the Start Page items in the list. This will change the order of how the items will appear on the Start Page.
And if you turn the switch beside "Background Image" into the "on" position, you can select a background picture that will display behind the content on your Start Page. Tap an image in the thumbnails or tap the plus ("+") button to select a custom image from your photo library.
If you want to make your Start Page as minimalist as possible, switch off every item on the "Customize Start Page" list. (Unfortunately, you'll still see the "Edit" button.)
When you're done, click the "X" button to close the Customize Start Page window. The changes you've made take effect immediately. Happy browsing!

How to Fix Your iPad If It’s Stuck on the Apple Logo
Ken Granger
September 9, 2024
When an iPad gets stuck on the Apple logo, it can be frustrating. This usually happens after an update or when the device has a problem. A simple way to fix it is to restart the iPad. You can do this by pressing and holding both the top button and the home button until the Apple logo appears again. This often solves the problem. If the restart doesn’t work, you can try connecting the iPad to a computer and using iTunes or Finder to update or restore the iPad’s software, which can fix deeper issues that cause the device to get stuck.
If needed, you can also try recovery mode or DFU mode. It’s important to back up your data before attempting any restores to avoid data loss. If you still can’t fix the issue, don’t hesitate to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
Troubleshooting Your Frozen iPad
Understanding the issue: the dreaded apple logo loop.
When your iPad gets stuck on the Apple logo during startup, it can be frustrating. This issue, often called the “Apple logo loop,” means your device is having trouble booting up properly. Several factors can cause this, including software glitches, failed updates, or even hardware problems.
Force Restart: Your First Line of Defense
A force restart can often jolt your iPad out of the Apple logo loop. Here’s how to do it:
- For iPads without a Home button: Quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button. Press and hold the Top button until you see the Apple logo.
- For iPads with a Home button: Press and hold both the Home and Top buttons until you see the Apple logo.
Recovery Mode: Reinstalling iPadOS
If a force restart doesn’t work, try putting your iPad into recovery mode and reinstalling iPadOS.
- Connect to a computer: Connect your iPad to a Mac or PC with a USB cable.
- Open Finder or iTunes: On a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, open Finder. On a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier, or on a PC, open iTunes.
- Enter recovery mode: Follow the instructions specific to your iPad model to enter recovery mode.
- Restore or update: When prompted, choose “Update” to reinstall iPadOS without erasing your data.
DFU Mode: A Deeper Restore
If recovery mode doesn’t resolve the issue, try DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode, which allows for a more thorough restore.
- Connect to a computer: Connect your iPad to a Mac or PC.
- Enter DFU mode: Follow the specific instructions for your iPad model to enter DFU mode.
- Restore: In Finder or iTunes, you should see your iPad in recovery mode. Click “Restore” to erase and reinstall iPadOS.
Other Potential Solutions
- Charge your iPad: A low battery can sometimes cause startup issues.
- Check your cables and charger: Make sure they are working properly and connected securely.
- Try a different computer: If you’re having trouble connecting to your computer, try a different one.
- Contact Apple Support: If none of these solutions work, Apple Support can provide further assistance.
Troubleshooting Table
Key takeaways.
- Restarting the iPad is the first step to fix a stuck Apple logo
- Connecting to a computer can help update or restore the iPad
- If software fixes don’t work, the iPad may need repair
Initial Troubleshooting Steps
When an iPad gets stuck on the Apple logo, a few basic steps can often fix the problem. These methods are simple and don’t require special tools or skills.
Forcing a Restart on Your iPad
A force restart can help when your iPad is frozen on the Apple logo. For newer iPads without a Home button, press and release the Volume Up button. Then press and release the Volume Down button. Finally, press and hold the Top button until the device restarts.
For older iPads with a Home button, press and hold both the Home and Top buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the Apple logo disappear and reappear.
If the first try doesn’t work, repeat the process a few times. This method often solves minor software glitches that cause the iPad to get stuck.
Checking the Battery and Charging Port
A dead battery can sometimes make an iPad appear stuck on the Apple logo. Plug your iPad into a power source using the original charger and cable. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes.
Check the charging port for dirt or damage. Use a soft brush to clean out any lint or debris. Make sure the cable fits snugly in the port.
If your iPad still won’t turn on after charging, try a different cable or power adapter. Sometimes faulty charging equipment can prevent the iPad from powering up properly.
Advanced Solutions and Recovery
When basic troubleshooting fails to fix an iPad stuck on the Apple logo, more advanced methods may be needed. These include using iTunes or Finder, entering special modes, and seeking help from Apple Support.
Using iTunes or Finder to Update or Restore
Connect your iPad to a computer with iTunes (Windows) or Finder (Mac). Open the app and select your device. Try updating iOS first. If that doesn’t work, do a restore.
Updating keeps your data but installs the latest iOS version. Restoring erases everything and installs a fresh copy of iOS. Back up your iPad before restoring if possible.
To update: Click “Check for Update” and follow the steps.
To restore: Click “Restore iPad” and confirm. This will erase all data on the device.
If iTunes or Finder can’t detect your iPad, try a different USB cable or port.
Entering Recovery or DFU Mode
Recovery Mode and DFU Mode are special states that let you restore your iPad when normal methods don’t work.
For Recovery Mode:
- Connect iPad to computer
- Press and quickly release Volume Up button
- Press and quickly release Volume Down button
- Press and hold the Top button until you see the recovery mode screen
For DFU Mode (more advanced):
- Press and hold the Top button and Volume Down button for 10 seconds
- Release the Top button but keep holding Volume Down for 5 more seconds
Once in either mode, iTunes or Finder will detect your iPad and offer restore options.
Contacting Apple Support for Service
If software fixes don’t work, your iPad may have a hardware issue. Contact Apple Support for help.
- Visit apple.com/support
- Use the Apple Support app
- Call Apple’s phone support
- Book an appointment at an Apple Store
If your iPad is under warranty or you have AppleCare+, repairs might be free or at a reduced cost. Be ready to provide your iPad’s serial number when contacting support.
For out-of-warranty devices, Apple offers paid repair services. They can often fix issues that software solutions can’t solve.
Frequently Asked Questions
These questions cover common issues with iPads stuck on the Apple logo. The answers provide simple steps to fix the problem on different iPad models.
What steps can I take if my iPad is stuck on the Apple logo and a hard reset isn’t working?
Try connecting your iPad to a computer with iTunes. Open iTunes and put your iPad in recovery mode. This allows you to restore or update your device’s software.
If that doesn’t work, you may need to use DFU mode. This is a deeper restore process that can often fix stubborn software issues.
How can I resolve an iPad that is stuck on the Apple logo without using a computer?
First, try a force restart. On newer iPads, press and release the volume up button, then the volume down button, then hold the power button until it restarts.
If that fails, let the iPad’s battery drain completely. Then charge it fully and turn it on again. This can sometimes clear up software glitches.
What causes an iPad to remain on the Apple logo screen, and how can I fix it?
Software issues are the most common cause. These can happen during updates or from app conflicts. A failed jailbreak attempt can also cause this problem.
To fix it, try a force restart first. If that doesn’t work, restore your iPad using iTunes on a computer. This will erase your data but often solves the issue.
How do I address an iPad with no Home button that is stuck on the Apple logo?
For iPads without a Home button, press and quickly release the volume up button. Then do the same with the volume down button. Next, press and hold the top button until the device restarts.
If this doesn’t work, connect to a computer and use recovery mode to restore the iPad.
What should I do if my iPad Pro is stuck on the Apple logo?
First, try a force restart. Press and release the volume up button, then the volume down button. Then press and hold the top button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn’t work, put your iPad Pro in recovery mode and restore it using a computer. As a last resort, you may need to use DFU mode to restore the device.
How can I fix an iPad that is stuck on the Apple logo after an attempt to update or reset?
This often happens when an update is interrupted. First, try to finish the update by connecting to Wi-Fi and a power source. Wait for an hour to see if it completes.
If it’s still stuck, put your iPad in recovery mode and restore it using iTunes on a computer. This will erase your data but should fix the issue.

If Safari won’t open a page or work as expected on your Mac
If Safari won’t load a web page, stops responding, closes unexpectedly or otherwise isn’t working as expected, these solutions may help.
These solutions are for issues that can affect Safari on Mac, including issues such as these:
A web page is blank, won’t load all of its content or otherwise isn’t working as expected.
You can’t sign in to a web page, despite using the correct sign-in information.
A web page asks you to remove or reset cookies.
Safari slows down, stops responding or closes unexpectedly.
Reload the page
From the menu bar in Safari, choose View > Reload Page. Or press Command-R.
If Safari won’t reload the page, close Safari, then try again. If Safari won’t close, you can press Option-Command-Esc to force Safari to close .
If Safari reopens unwanted pages automatically, close Safari, then press and hold the Shift key while opening Safari. Find out how to control which windows Safari reopens automatically .
Install software updates and restart
Update macOS , which can include updates for Safari. If your Mac didn’t restart automatically, choose Apple menu > Restart. Some important background updates will only take effect after restarting.
Check Safari extensions
If you’ve installed any Safari extensions, turn the extensions off. From the menu bar in Safari, choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences). Click Extensions, then untick each extension to turn it off. Find out more about Safari extensions .
If you find that an extension is causing the issue, make sure the extension is up to date.
Test with a private window
A website can store cookies, caches and other data on your Mac, and issues with that data can affect your use of the website. To prevent the website from using that data, view it in a private window: from the menu bar in Safari, choose File > New Private Window, or press Shift-Command-N.
If that works, use the following steps to remove the website's data, including its caches and cookies. The website can then create new data as needed. If it's a website that you sign in to, make sure you know your sign-in information before continuing.
Choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences), then click Privacy.
Click Manage Website Data.
Select the affected website from the list that's displayed.
Click Remove.
Click Done.
Open the website again in a non-private browser window.
Check Safari settings

Websites settings . These settings can be configured for specific websites. For example, a website may require that you allow pop-up windows, allow downloads, allow access to your camera or microphone, or turn off content blockers.
Check iCloud Private Relay
If you subscribe to iCloud+ and are using its Private Relay feature, try reloading the page without Private Relay: from the menu bar in Safari, choose View > Reload and Show IP Address. This menu item will only appear when Private Relay is turned on for your network. Find out more about iCloud Private Relay .
Check VPN or other security software
If you've installed VPN or other software that monitors or interacts with your network connections, that software could be affecting your use of the website or the internet. Find out about network issues related to VPN and other software .
Check network settings
Certain network settings, such as custom proxy settings or custom DNS settings , can affect access to content on the internet. Even if you haven’t changed these or other network settings yourself, you may have installed software that changed them for you.
To find out whether the issue is with the network settings on your Mac, try viewing the page from a different web browser or different device on the same network. Or reset your network settings by setting up a new network location on your Mac.
If the issue affects other devices and web browsers on the same network, the issue is probably with the website, and you should contact the website developer for help.
If the issue continues to only affect a particular web page, contact the website developer for help.
