Once again we welcome you here and are so pleased you have joined us!

 

Have a go at resetting your iPad first before trying a restore. Hold the power off button and the home button simultaneously, keep holding them in and wait until you see the Apple logo appear before releasing the buttons, this can take up to 30 seconds before the logo appears, so be patient. It will take a little longer for your iPad to start. Let us know how you go.

 

I'm glad you have it sorted already. As your iPad is new, it's not a big problem to restore but as time goes on and your apps start building up as well as the myriad of other things you can have on your iPad, it can be a real headache to do. Enjoy!
