[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1840855, member: 234411"] Well, you'll need to determine which iPad models are being used because hardware & iOS/iPadOS changes, so that the features/functions may be different. Since 2011, I'm on my third iPad (iPad 2 > iPad Air 2 > iPad Pro) - the 'Side Switch' is on the older models (was on my first one) - see pic below for location (above the volume controls) - the switch has a dual function depending on the feature's setting, i.e. could mute the device or fixate screen orientation (changeable in Settings). In newer iPad models, this feature is now controlled 'on screen'. As to a 'hard reset', first determine your exact iPad model, i.e. Settings > General > About - Model or Serial number can be entered at [URL="https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/"]EveryMac[/URL] (see second pic below) and will bring up the exact model owned and ALL of its specs. Let us know if any of this is useful - so please post back - may help others. Dave :) . [ATTACH=FULL]30979[/ATTACH] . [ATTACH=FULL]30980[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
