Is your Apple Pencil refusing to cooperate? Don't panic! An Apple Pencil that's suddenly stopped working is a common frustration, but often easily fixed. First, check the basics: Is it charged? Plug it directly into your iPad (without a case) and give it a few minutes. A depleted battery is the most frequent culprit.
Next, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPad and that your Apple Pencil is paired. Go to Settings > Bluetooth and look for your Apple Pencil. If it's not connected, try forgetting the device and re-pairing it. A simple restart of your iPad can also work wonders, clearing any temporary glitches.
If those quick fixes don't do the trick, examine the Pencil's tip. Is it screwed on tightly? A loose tip can disrupt the connection. If you have a spare tip, try swapping it out. Finally, ensure your iPad's screen is clean and free of debris. Sometimes, a dirty screen can interfere with the Pencil's responsiveness. By following these steps, you'll likely have your Apple Pencil drawing, writing, and creating in no time!
