It’s been more than a year since Apple released its wireless AirPods and wireless BeatsX. Both are now widely popular, with millions of users using them around the world on a regular basis. No user wants to spend their time troubleshooting technical issues. But if you have a pair of AirPods or wireless BeatsX, you might have to do just that sooner rather than later. Since they aren’t as universally compatible as wired earbuds, there are some things that can go wrong when connecting them to your Mac computer. In this post, we will show you several ways to fix AirPods that won’t connect to Mac or other devices.
Why Won’t My Airpods Connect To My Mac?
Check Mac OS and AirPod Software
If you are having connection issues with your AirPods, the very first thing you should check is the software version of your Mac computer and the AirPods. AirPods and Mac computers must run the same software version/build to work together. Otherwise, there might be compatibility issues. It’s also worth noting that you must be running the latest software version on your device in order to take advantage of all its latest features. You can check your Mac OS version and software version by clicking on the Apple menu and selecting About This Mac. If you’re running the latest software version on your Mac computer, then you must check the software version of your AirPods.
