In this article, we’ll walk through the different steps you can follow to fix this error.
1. Keep the Case Lid Open
Always keep the AirPods case lid open while trying to pair them with your device. If you close the lid, the connection process will stop, making it impossible for your device to find your AirPods.
2. Forget AirPods and Reconnect
If Bluetooth isn’t working properly, removing (or “forgetting”) your AirPods from your device and then connecting them again can usually fix the issue. Forgetting AirPods clears any saved connection errors and gives you a fresh start.
3. Reset Your AirPods
If reconnecting didn’t help, it’s a good idea to reset your AirPods. Resetting returns them to their factory settings, removes any temporary glitches, and erases paired devices, making it easier for your AirPods to connect again.
4. Reset Network Settings
If you’re still having trouble, resetting your device’s network settings can help. This will refresh all your network-related settings, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular connections. Often, this clears out hidden issues that may be blocking your AirPods from connecting.
