Where is it showing as not signed in? Are you looking at your device list? Are you using IOS 8 or Yosemite or later?
From the article below.
Add a device to the list
To add a device to the list, you need to sign in with your Apple ID. After you sign in on a device with your Apple ID, that device appears in the list. Here's where you need to sign in:
- For iOS 9 and later, sign in to iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, the iTunes and App Store, or Game Center on the device. You can also see your paired Apple Watch.
- For iOS 8, sign in to iCloud or the iTunes and App Store on the device. You can also see your paired Apple Watch.
- For OS X Yosemite and later or Windows 10 and later, sign in to iCloud on the device.
- For tvOS 7 and later, sign in to the iTunes and App Store on the device.
- If any of your devices are using earlier versions of iOS, OS X, or tvOS, you won’t see them in your device list.
Your AirPods will appear in the Find My iPhone app, but they won't appear in your Apple ID device list. You can remove your AirPods from your account using Find My iPhone.
