Apple Pencil is an amazing tool, but it can be frustrating when it doesn’t work properly. If your Apple Pencil Gen 1 won’t connect to your iPad Pro, there are a few steps you can take to try to fix the issue.

Why Is My Apple Pencil Gen 1 Not Connecting To My Ipad?

Your Apple Pencil Gen 1 might not be connecting to your iPad Pro for several reasons. First, try resetting your Apple Pencil by pressing and holding the side button for at least 10 seconds until you see the LED flash. This can often fix connectivity issues.

Why Isn’t My Apple Pencil Charging?

If your Apple Pencil isn’t charging, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue. First, make sure your Apple Pencil is compatible with your device. The Apple Pencil is only compatible with iPad Pro models, iPad Air (4th generation), and iPad (8th generation). If it’s compatible with your device, try the following steps:

1. Check the battery level: If your Apple Pencil’s battery is completely drained, it may take a few minutes to start charging. If your Apple Pencil’s battery level is low, it may take a little longer to charge.

3. Make sure the charging cable is in good condition: If the charging cable is damaged, it may not charge your Apple Pencil properly. Check the charging cable for any signs of damage, such as fraying or breaks in the wire. If the cable is damaged, you may need to replace it with a new one.

4. Try a different charging cable: If you’re still having trouble charging your Apple Pencil, try using a different charging cable. It’s possible that the original charging cable is damaged or incompatible with your device.

5. Try a different charger: If you’re still having trouble charging your Apple Pencil, try using a different charger. It’s possible that the original charger is damaged or incompatible with your device.

6. Check the charging status: If your Apple Pencil still isn’t charging, you can try checking the charging status on your device. To do this, go to Settings > Bluetooth > Apple Pencil.
