My iPad is stuck in recovery mode and I was unable to restore it. Can I trade it in?

As is, the iPad would be considered “non functional” - which in most cases disqualifies the iPad from trade-in until resolved.

If you resolve the problem - if need be with assistance from the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store, or directly from Apple Support, then your iPad may be given a trade-in value.

For functional qualifying devices, you can explore potential trade-in values here:

These support pages outline the available methods to restore an iPad - either from a backup, or to Factory Settings:

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup – Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

Restore all content to iPad from a backup - Apple Support

You’ll need access to either a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS).

Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support

Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support

Use of a PC or Mac computer is unavoidable. If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice. Alternatively, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be delighted to assist.
