Is anybody else having a probelm pairing an Apple Pencil. I insert it into my new 2gen iPad Pro 12.9 and it briefly shows the dialog to Pair and then shows it connected, but then disconnects, and then I get an Error that the Pencil took to long to pair. Then it doesn't work.
Am I alone in having this issue.
Thanks,
Nick
5 years Apple this has been a issue…yet here I am today March 10th 2023 still facing the exact issues a;l these other people faced. fix this. I’m about ready to switch to an android got everything
I have only signed up here to say MASSIVE thanks to the person who came up with the hairdryer idea. I was devastated when I tried to pair a NEW Apple Pencil 1st gen that's been most likely sitting in a drawer somewhere for god knows how long. It was kept disconnecting, not pairing, nada nada.
Heated up for 1 minute and voila, like the above issues never happened. Connected and started charging straight away, blown my mind. Madness. Huge Kudos to you man.
Can't believe the hairdryer actually worked but it did for me too!
The hairdryer thing actually worked for me.
Can't believe this is still an issue 6 whole years later in the year of our lord 2023, jfc get it together Apple. I have an iPad Pro that's several years old but still works well, though my original Apple Pencil died recently. My friend gave me a brand new one (still unopened in the packaging) that she bought about a year ago and never ended up using. I tried to connect it, but it won't charge or stay paired at all. Also tried the heat trick with a hair dryer multiple times, and it still isn't working. Going to try the genius bar at the store, but will be supremely annoyed if I have to replace a literally brand new pencil because Apple can't get their sh*t together.
