How to register AirPods 4 to Apple ID using only a Mac?

Hello, I have just bought new AirPods 4. I only have a Mac as apple device (I have and Android phone), and despite I easily connected them to my Macbook Air, they didn't register to my Apple ID. I'd like to register them so that I can use Find My. Is is possible just from a Mac?


Thank you.

As long as your MacBook Air is logged into your Apple Account in Settings, then pairing to AirPods should automatically add them to device list of your account. If it did not, I recommend:


Reset AirPods to factory defaults:

Restart, unpair, or reset your AirPods - Apple Support


Then repair them with the MacBook Air:

Pair AirPods with an Apple device - Apple Support


Then rename them so they are recognizable in your iCloud devices list:

Rename your AirPods - Apple Support
