When an update goes wrong
- The iPadOS update will not finish or shows an error
- The iPad sticks on the Apple logo after updating
- Apps will not install because the version is too old
- There is not enough free space for the new version
We find the cause, back up your data and install the newest version your model supports.
More storage without a new iPad
An iPad’s storage cannot be upgraded, but newer USB‑C models read external drives and flash drives directly in the Files app. For Lightning models there are dedicated flash drives. Move photos, videos and documents off the device and free up space.
A new battery
If your iPad no longer lasts the day or switches off suddenly, a battery replacement is the cheapest “upgrade”. See our other iPad repairs too.
