To reset your Apple ID and AirPods, you can follow the steps below:
1. Forget This Device: Start by disconnecting and removing the AirPods from all devices where you’ve signed in with the same Apple ID. This will ensure that your AirPods are no longer connected to any device. To do this, go to the Bluetooth settings on each device, locate your AirPods, and select “Forget This Device.” Repeat this process for all devices.
2. Reset AirPods: After disconnecting your AirPods from all devices, you can now reset them. Open the lid of the AirPods case and locate the setup button on the back of the case. Press and hold this button for about 15 seconds while the lid is open. You will see the status light on the case change from amber to white, indicating that the AirPods have been reset.
3. Reconnect AirPods: Once the AirPods are reset, you can now reconnect them to your desired devices. Put the AirPods back in the case and close the lid. Then, open the lid and hold it near the device you want to connect to. Follow the on-screen instructions on your device to pair and connect the AirPods.
It’s important to note that resetting your AirPods will remove any customizations or settings you had previously set, such as the name of your AirPods or the double-tap actions. However, it will not affect your Apple ID or any other settings on your devices.
In my personal experience, I have had to reset my AirPods when I encountered connection issues or wanted to connect them to a different device. The process I described above has always worked for me and allowed me to successfully reset and reconnect my AirPods.
Resetting your Apple ID and AirPods involves disconnecting the AirPods from all devices and then resetting them using the setup button on the case. This process will remove any previous connections and allow you to reconnect the AirPods to your desired devices.
