How to Connect AirPods to MacBook

Posted on by

Apple products are well known for their very simple and minimalistic user interface. They are easy to set up, connect and use even for beginners. AirPods are Apple’s main headphones , and they are no different. You can easily connect them to any Apple device, be it an iPhone, iPad or Mac. But if they connect to a different device than the one you intended to connect (say, it automatically connects to your iPhone when you want it to connect to your MacBook ), it can be difficult to fix.

If you’ve paired your AirPods to an iCloud-connected device

One of the many great things about Apple products is that they are all connected to iCloud. If you set up your AirPods with an iPhone signed into your iCloud account, you’ll be able to automatically connect your AirPods to your Mac. You just need to make sure that you are signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID. To test, put your AirPods on your ears and choose Apple Menu > System Preferences , then click Bluetooth in the sidebar or go to the volume drop-down menu in the menu bar on a Mac. Your AirPods should be on the list. Choose them and enjoy.

If your AirPods don’t connect automatically

If your AirPods aren’t listed and don’t connect automatically, there’s an easy fix. Follow these instructions:

  1. Make sure your AirPods (and case) are fully charged. You may have connection problems if they have low battery.

  2. Go to your Mac’s Bluetooth settings. This can be done by opening the Bluetooth menu in the menu bar and selecting Open Bluetooth Settings . Or click Apple Menu > System Preferences > Bluetooth .

  3. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on and airplane mode is turned off.

  4. Place your AirPods in the charging case, close the case cover, and then open it. (Sometimes resetting them this way helps.)

  5. Hold the setting button located on the back of the case until you see a flashing white light.

  6. Go to your Mac’s Bluetooth settings again and find your AirPods in the list of devices.

  7. When you see them. click “Connect”.

At this point, you will be able to seamlessly listen to media from your Mac or iPhone without changing your headphones. You are living a good life.

A little more troubleshooting

If your media is still playing on your Mac speakers instead of your AirPods, make sure AirPods is selected as your audio output device. Go to the Bluetooth or Volume drop-down menu in the menu bar, select the Sound arrow, and select your AirPods.
