Mar 12, 2016 3:00 PM in response to jemilioby 0ffline,Try doing a forced restart first, you can see how in this link below. All you do is hold the side sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo pops up on the iPad showing that it is restarting.

Then try and follow these steps once again!

Also, make sure the Apple Pencil Tip is screwed on correctly.
This could be an issue as well:
- "If you turn off Bluetooth—for example, if you turn on airplane mode—you'll need to turn on Bluetooth and pair your Apple Pencil again."
