  • If an app is unresponsive but the system seems to respond to button presses, you can force the app to close:
  1. Double-click the Home button.
  2. Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
  3. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.

  • If that doesn’t work hold the home and sleep/wake button down for 15 seconds, this will restart the device.

Once the iPad starts back up, double-click the home button to open up the multitasking launcher and close out of all apps that are open.
