First, ensure that your iPad is either connected to its Power Adapter (recommended) and/or the iPad battery is charged to 50% or greater - as this will be required for successful installation of the system update.


Next, force-restart your iPad:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




These support pages outline both the available methods by which the update can be performed - and troubleshooting should you experience difficulties:

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support
