Looking at people on the subway, taking their iPad out of their bag and immediately starting to play Angry Birds, one gets the impression that this tablet turns on instantly when the cover of the case is opened. Well, not really!
Hey, are you sleeping there?
Home and office PC users are so accustomed to the process of booting up the operating system after pressing the power button that a tablet that "cuts in" right away gives a feeling of focus, if not magic.
The seemingly fast turn-on process is just the transition of the tablet from a sleep state to a normal working one. Any tablets lying in the bags of their owners, in fact - are already on, but "dozing".
Are tablets always on
Have you just brought your iPad out of the store and taken it out of the box? Then he was definitely completely turned off, but his battery was charged. The tablet will not react in any way to one-time and short "exercises" with buttons. Press the only button on the top for more than 1 second. An image of the coveted "apple" will appear in the center of the screen.
The process of loading the operating system has begun. It will take time. During the loading process, all electronic devices more complicated than an iron need. Even the simplest mobile phone.
It will take less than 30 seconds to download! But if after 30 seconds and after a minute the tablet does not boot, it may be faulty.
Boot OS
If no reaction follows after 5 seconds of pressing the start button, then the new device is definitely faulty or discharged so that it will not turn on in any way. It can be charged, but is it worth it? Modern batteries have a very low percentage of self-discharge, and devices equipped with them are delivered to warehouses and stores already charged at a level sufficient to turn on the device and check it. The battery of the newly purchased iPad is not charged - only return or replacement!
A contrasting, milky-white image of the Apple logo appeared on the black screen - your device is working, the battery is pulling, the download is in progress. Usually 30 seconds is more than enough for the iPad to start a dialogue with the words "Unlock". Slide your finger across the screen to where and where it is suggested.
Password
And here is the desktop with program icons. If not visible, you must enter a four-digit password. No pictures leaving a mark on the screen.
If you did not succeed in doing the above, you have an unactivated tablet from the store box in your hands. You will have to register and activate the iPad yourself. An internet connection is required.
After completing all these manipulations, your iPad is turned on! You will most likely have to repeat this procedure when buying a new tablet. iPad is a very reliable device, stable in work, and it rarely needs to be rebooted.
