What Happens If Your Airpods Aren’t Connecting To Your Mac Correctly? 

1. Make sure your AirPods are charged.
2. Launch the Bluetooth menu on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
3. Scroll down to the AirPods section and check that they’re listed there with a green check mark next to them (or with a red X if you have an older version of iOS). If they aren’t there, make sure that your AirPods are paired with your iPhone, and then try again. You should see them listed in the Bluetooth menu after connecting.
4. Double-check that you haven’t selected “Always allow” for any devices already paired to your Mac computer and try again. If they still aren’t listed, make sure you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network before trying again — Bluetooth is slower than Wi-Fi on some devices. And make sure you’re not using Find My Mac or iCloud Keychain sync features on your Mac, which can prevent devices from being connected to the Mac.
5. If your AirPods are still not listed, try restarting your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and then try again. If it still doesn’t work, make sure that you’re using the latest version of iOS. On some devices, AirPods won’t pair to Mac computers with older versions of iOS.
6. If you’re still having trouble connecting your AirPods to your Mac computer, contact Apple support for assistance.
