Can't connect right AirPod to my iPhone, any advice?
I have my daughter’s hand-me-down AirPod and only the right one. I can’t get it to connect with my IPhone. Any advice?

Hello MaryBethVicini and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty pairing a single AirPod device to your iPhone.
It's not possible to pair a single AirPod to a new device. However, if you know someone with the same model, you can do this:
1) Put you right AirPod and the borrowed left AirPod into your case and then use the steps here to reset them and connect them to your iPhone.
2) Once the AirPods are connected to your iPhone, take the left one out and have the person you borrowed it from do the same reset and reconnect process to their own iPhone.
Once you've done that, the person you borrowed from will be able to use both of their AIrPods normally and you'll be able to use the right AirPod you have as a single device.
You can also buy a single replacement device directly from Apple.
Cheers.
