In this segment, we will see how to exit DFU Mode on your iPad with and without data loss. Stay tuned!

Method 1. Restoring your iPad with iTunes normally (data loss)

This method talks about exiting DFU Mode normally, i.e., by using iTunes. This might be the most obvious solution to exit DFU Mode but not the most reliable and popular way to do so. Wondering why? Well, because using iTunes to restore your iPad leads to the loss of data saved on your iPad.

Step 1. Connect the switched off iPad by holding it Home Key to the PC on which iTunes is downloaded and installed. Your iPad screen will look similar to the screenshot below.
