Best Fixes for iPad Apple Logo Stuck on Screen Problem

#1 Wait for All iOS Progresses to Finish

One of the main reasons why iPads get stuck in boot mode and don’t open properly is because not all iOS processes have finished loading. This can happen when you shut down the device and then open it too quickly, not giving the operating system enough time to power up. The best thing that you can do here is to let the iPad sit for 10 to 15 minutes, even though the Apple logo might be stuck on the screen. You can use this time to drink a coffee or tee while preparing to follow the next fixes if this one didn’t get the job done.

#2 Force Restart

If giving the operating system 15 minutes to load didn’t solve your issue, then the next solution is to force restart the iPad. The force restart is helpful in all problems where iOS is causing issues. What’s great about force restarting an iPad is the fact that it also gives you the chance to troubleshoot for other problems.
