Manually Connect Your AirPods To Your Mac

AirPods are designed to easily and automatically connect to devices linked to your iCloud account. However, it doesn’t always work perfectly!

1. Make sure you’ve turned on Bluetooth on your Mac.
2. Open your AirPods charging case.
3. Open System Preferences.
4. Click Bluetooth.
5. Under your list of devices, double-click on your AirPods.

Why this works:

Fortunately, when your AirPods are not connecting to your Mac automatically, you can still pair them manually via Bluetooth.

Pro tip:

• You can also manually connect your AirPods to your Mac by clicking on the Bluetooth icon in the menu in the upper right-hand corner of your Macs display. Under Devices, scroll over your AirPods, then click Connect (see image 2 of this step).
