But alas, instead we get another adapter. Force restart iPad (models with the Home button) Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. By Alison Barretta last updated 22 September 2021 Get to the root of why your Apple Pencil isn't working. The new iPad got the same face-lift that the iPad mini did last year, and the mini has second generation Apple Pencil support. I would think that switching over to the second generation Apple Pencil would be a smart move as Apple moves away from the lighting connector. However in the Bluetooth menu under 'Devices', the pencil is not showing up. Both the lighting-to-lightning adapter and USB-C-to-lighting adapter will arrive, so you can charge the pencil with whatever cable you have. When I connect it to the magnetic charging, it says 'Apple Pencil' on the top of the screen, blinking black and gray and when I click on on it nothing happens. Now, when you order a first generation Apple Pencil, two different adapters will come in the box. This allows the pencil to be connected directly to the iPad to charge it, or else you can use the lightning-to-lighting adapter that was included to charge up the pencil with the same cable that came with the iPad. For most other iPad’s limited to the first-generation Apple Pencil, an adapter is unnecessary, as the device features Apple’s own lightning connector. This $9 adapter is available for purchase on Apple’s shop it features USB-C connector on one end and a lightning connector on the other. So while you can draw to your heart’s content on your new (more expensive) entry level iPad, you’ll need an easy-to-lose adapter to charge that pencil up. But while the new iPad gained a USB-C port in place of its Lightning port, it’s only compatible with the first-generation Apple Pencil. In a series of press releases today, Apple announced the new iPad Pro, Apple TV 4K, and entry-level iPad. ![]()
