iPad Pro Nothing works when I try to restore to factory settings

[silverlakerCA]

I have tried every tip I can find on how to restore/reset to factory settings on my iPad. It's plugged into my iMac. I choose Restore. And in the end, I get a 'hello' page that gets me back to the 'install' and 'verifying update' issues I want to do away with.
I want to completely erase this iPad Pro and starts from scratch.

What do I need to do?
Thank you!

Try this,
iPad:Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

The device stops me at 'update' and never allows me into the software. So I can't reach any applications, at all.

There's no reason to look at updates.
Just go into settings, then General, then Reset, and choose Erase All content and Settings.

If you really are stuck at update, and you can't get beyond that - boot to Recovery Mode, and then do a restore while in that mode.

If you can't update or restore your iPad - Apple Support

You can put your iPad in recovery mode, then restore it using your computer.
