Problem connecting AirPod Pros to iMac

I am trying to connect my AirPods Pro to my iMac. When I go to System Preferences/ Bluetooth they keep trying to connect and disconnecting never bringing up the X to allow me remove from the list. I have also reset the AirPods, but that doesn't help. I also rebooted my iMac, but that did not help.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Problem about connecting my airpods to my macbook air I have been having some sort of problems about connecting my AirPods to my macbook air recently. I don't think the problem is about my AirPods because I tried to connect it to my other devices and it worked. It is just not working on my macbook. I can't remove my AirPods from bluetooth devices because I can't see the X to remove it. I tried restarting my AirPods, my Mac, but It still doesn't work. I hope you see this and reply quickly. Thank you

AirPods won’t connect to a newly updated iMac My AirPods stopped working on my MacBook after I updated my MacBook. How is it possible for a Bluetooth device to stop working with another device that connects to Bluetooth devices? This makes me think that Apple puts in their soft wear to make AirPods stop working with their devices so the consumer goes and buys the newer more expensive pair of AirPods. This is a big mistake for Apple because it would be smarter for people to buy non-Apple Bluetooth earbuds because they will actually work with your MacBook [Re-Titled by Moderator]
