You are struggling to attach your iPad Pro to its Magic Keyboard case. Follow these steps to get your device connected and ready for work.

  1. Confirm you have the correct keyboard model specifically designed for your iPad Pro version.
  2. Locate the three magnets on the back of the iPad Pro and align them with the corresponding magnets on the keyboard case [0:38].
  3. Push the iPad into position until you hear it click firmly into place [0:59].
  4. Pull the iPad display forward toward you to adjust the viewing angle into a laptop-like position [1:16].
  5. Use your keyboard and trackpad immediately for typing, navigating, or dragging and dropping items as needed.
  6. Connect your charging cable to the iPad to power both the tablet and the keyboard simultaneously.

Ninja Tip: Keep your trackpad clean and free of debris to ensure the multi-touch gestures continue to respond accurately. A quick wipe with a dry microfiber cloth usually fixes erratic cursor movement.

If the keyboard remains unresponsive after a proper connection, perform a hard restart of your iPad by navigating to Settings > General > Shut Down.
