How do you solve connection problems with iPad accessories?

To decide how you can solve the connection problems with the accessories, we'll distinguish 2 types of accessories:

• Accessories with a Bluetooth connection
• Accessories with a wired connection

First, reset Bluetooth.

• Turn both your iPad and the accessory off and on again.
• Make sure Bluetooth is activated on both devices.
• Check if both devices still have enough battery life. Does your accessory have batteries? Replace them.
• Make sure both devices are close together.

Does your device still refuse to connect? Try reconnecting it.

1. Did you connect your accessories before? Disconnect them first. Go to Settings and tap Bluetooth. Now tap the info button and 'Forget This Device'.
2. Switch your accessory to discoverable mode. You can check the manual of your accessory to learn how.
3. Connect your accessory by selecting it from the list of Bluetooth devices.
4. Still can't get it to connect? Contact the manufacturer of your accessory to make sure your iPad supports the accessory.

If you want to make sure your devices actually work, go through the following steps:

1. First, check if the cable works with different devices.
2. Does the cable work? Check the connectors of your devices. Do you see dust or dirt? Clean them carefully.
