Reasons Why Magic Keyboard Won't Connect To iPad Pro
There are several reasons why your Magic Keyboard may not be connecting to your iPad Pro. Here are some of the most common causes:
- The Magic Keyboard is not charged or turned on
- The iPad Pro is not updated to the latest software version
- The Magic Keyboard is not in pairing mode
- There is interference from other Bluetooth devices
- There is a hardware issue with either the Magic Keyboard or iPad Pro
Let's take a closer look at each of these causes and how to resolve them.
Not Charged or Turned On
The first thing to check when your Magic Keyboard won't connect to your iPad Pro is whether it is charged and turned on. The Magic Keyboard has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts for about a month with regular use. To check the battery level, look for the battery icon in the top-right corner of your iPad Pro's screen.
If the battery is low or the Magic Keyboard is turned off, charge it using the included Lightning to USB cable. Once it's fully charged, turn on the Magic Keyboard by pressing the power button on the side of the keyboard.
iPad Pro Not Updated
If your iPad Pro is not updated to the latest software version, it may not be compatible with the Magic Keyboard. To check if there is an update available, go to Settings > General > Software Update on your iPad Pro. If there is an update available, tap Download and Install to update your iPad Pro.
Not in Pairing Mode
For the Magic Keyboard to connect to your iPad Pro, it needs to be in pairing mode. To put the Magic Keyboard in pairing mode, press and hold the power button on the side of the keyboard until the blue LED light starts flashing.
Next, go to Settings > Bluetooth on your iPad Pro and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Your Magic Keyboard should appear under Other Devices. Tap on it to connect.
Interference From Other Bluetooth Devices
If there are other Bluetooth devices in the area, they may be interfering with the connection between your Magic Keyboard and iPad Pro. Try turning off other Bluetooth devices or moving your iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard to a different location to see if that helps.
Hardware Issue
If none of the above solutions work, there may be a hardware issue with either your Magic Keyboard or iPad Pro. Contact Apple Support to get further assistance and possible repairs.
Conclusion
The Magic Keyboard is a great accessory for the iPad Pro, but it can be frustrating when it won't connect. By following the steps above, you can troubleshoot the issue and get your Magic Keyboard working again. If all else fails, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
