Unable to re-pair my AirPods.

Trying to pair my AirPods. They were working fine yesterday. By mistake I hit forget this device. Now it won't show up at all. Even after iPhone update and going through all the remedies to re-pair them. Any suggestions?

Hello DiamondBobby,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We noticed you were reviewing this article: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support Were you able to reset your AirPods and see if you can re-pair it?


Also, if you haven't tried yet, we recommend to follow these steps:


If your AirPods won't connect
If you need help connecting to your AirPods, learn what to do.

If you can't connect to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Make sure that your iPhone or iPod touch has the latest version of iOS or that your iPad has the latest version of iPadOS.

2. Put both AirPods in the charging case and make sure that both AirPods are charging.

3. To make sure that Bluetooth is on, go to Settings > Bluetooth.

4. If your AirPods are connected, make sure that they're selected as your audio device. If your AirPods appear in the list of devices but they don't connect, go to the next step.

5. Close the lid, wait 15 seconds, then open the lid. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the charging case for up to 10 seconds. The status light on the front of the charging case should flash white, which means that your AirPods are ready to connect.

6. Hold the charging case, with your AirPods inside and the lid open, next to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

7. Follow the steps on the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
8. Test your AirPods. If you still can't connect, reset your AirPods.

These additional steps may help.


Best regards.
