Apple Pencil not connecting or not charging

I just returned the item, and eill stick with my pogo stylus until Apple comes up with a reliable pencil.

Use Apple Pencil with iPad Pro

Unfortunately I do not have an answer as I am having the exact same issue and after chatting with a support advisor last night after telling me the usual restart, turn off Bluetooth, try Airplane Mode, and it still not working their response was to either send in my Apple Pencil or take the Apple Pencil and the iPad into the Apple store. I am interested in Apple’s response as well.

I got to the same conclusion. I will go to the genious bar...but i have to wait a while to get an appointment. Customer service is not one of Apple’s strengths...sigh. I will post what the outcome is.

I had the same issue here. I just got off chat with Apple - they wanted $90.89 to fix the issue. Interestingly:

• the replacement would not have a warranty
• a refurbished unit costs $85 and has a warranty
• A brand new one is $99

Sorry Apple - this is too much. I've already switched to a Google Pixel, and will now be following suit with the rest of the ecosystem.

Today is October 21st and I still have the same problem, I believe it beggan since IOS 11 update and I'm guessing that is a bluetooth pairing problem. Any news Apple? Have you solve the problem? I want to use my $99 accesory as soon as possible.

Bought my Apple pen when the first iPad Pro came out. Today I decided to open the box and try it for the first time. Same issue as what everyone is reporting. It charges to 3% on the iPad Pro but won’t pair. When I charged it on the main charger with an adapter, it won’t even show any charge Any more. It connects then disconnects immediately. The message says that it took too long to pair. Tried unpairing, and rebooting iPad. Unfortunately it’s been more than a year since I purchased it, so it’s a $100 junk that I never got to use. If they are going to charge so much for it, at least give it long enough warranty so that it takes care of its inherent defects. Very disappointed with Apple.

same issue as everyone else.

No sign of life from the pencil since it ran dead while sitting in my bag (hey Apple, here's an idea: An OFF SWITCH!!!

You know - so we can switch it OFF if we're not going to use it for a month or more. And then that way, it won't make itself go dead-dead (as opposed to the "mostly dead", from which Miracle Max was able to revive Wesley).

Hi I have the same problem here. Bought my first gen apple pencil with my old 12 ipad pro. However did not use it much. Now that I bought the new 10.5 ipad pro tried using it but it cannot pair. tried with my old ipad pro and it also doesnot work... I am now running ios11.

Fully charged pencil is not recognized by iPad Pro; either by BT or battery widget. The pencil has previously functioned as expected. Uncertain as to whether this may be the result of recent OS upgrades.

My Apple Pencil is charged, the point is tight, it is connected to bluetooth. it won't pair.

I have exactly the same issue. I have followed all the recommended procedures, rebooting etc. In the end I always receive same message:

I have exactly the same symptoms Even down to the split second connection. I will be very interested in hearing your results. Many thanks

Any luck?

Have tried all these but still not working. Either the pen is faulty or the iPad not compatible
