How to Put Your iPad into DFU Mode and Perform a DFU Restore

Introduction to DFU Mode

  • David and David introduce the video, explaining that they will demonstrate how to put an iPad into DFU mode and perform a DFU restore.
  • A DFU (Device Firmware Update) restore is described as the most thorough type of restore for resolving software issues on an iPad.

Preparing for the Restore

  • The presenters discuss connecting the iPad to a computer running iTunes using a USB adapter, particularly noting compatibility with newer MacBook Pros.
  • They clarify that even if the iPad does not appear in iTunes, it can still be placed into DFU mode.

Steps to Enter DFU Mode

  • To initiate DFU mode, hold down both the power button and Home button simultaneously; this can be done whether the device is on or off.
  • Wait for the screen to go black before counting three seconds. Release the power button while continuing to hold the Home button until iTunes detects an iPad in recovery mode.

Completing the Restore Process

  • If any display appears on the iPad's screen during this process, it indicates that it is not in DFU mode; users should repeat previous steps if necessary.
  • Once in recovery mode, users can select "Restore and Update" in iTunes, which will download and install the latest version of iOS automatically.
