So You Want to Wipe the Slate Clean? How to Factory Reset Your iPad Pro (and Not Cry in the Process)
Let's face it, sometimes our beloved iPads turn from sleek tech marvels into glitchy gremlins. Apps freeze, the internet moves slower than a sloth on vacation, and you start questioning every life decision that led you to this laggy mess. Fear not, fellow iPad Pro owner, for there's a solution so powerful it's practically a superhero: the factory reset.
But hold on there, trigger finger. A factory reset is like a digital detox - it gets rid of everything, the good, the bad, and the ugly cat memes you forgot you downloaded. Before you hit that reset button with the fury of a thousand swipes, make sure you back up your iPad! Your photos, contacts, important documents - all of it goes bye-bye with a factory reset.

- The iTunes Intervention:
- Fire up your trusty Mac (Catalina or later) or PC and launch iTunes.
- Connect your iPad Pro to your computer with a cable. Yes, actual wires are involved, shocking we know.
- Your computer might ask you to trust this device. Be a good friend and say yes.
- On your computer, find your iPad Pro. It should show up in the sidebar on a Mac or near the top left corner of iTunes on a PC.
- Click on Summary and then brace yourself for the big guns - Restore iPad.
- Just like with the settings method, your computer will probably ask you to confirm you really, really want to do this. No take-backs!
And Poof! Your iPad Pro is Reborn (Well, Almost)
