The ear buds paired right away on my apple phone but won't pair on my ipad
iPad Air 3, iPadOS 17
If already paired with your iPhone, before you can pair with a different device - such as your iPad - you may need to unpair or reset the earbuds.
Check your earbuds User Guide for (re)pairing instructions.
Thank you. Maybe you can help me with another problem. I can't get my apple pencil to pair with my iPad. It gives me the option to pair but doesn't show "pencil" as paired. Yesterday "pencil" showed paired but then went away. ???
