AirPods Max won't pair with my television after new 3C39 upgrade

My AirPods Max lost its ability to pair with my television with the new 3C39 upgrade. I did a factory reset, tried to pair again a number of times and though it reads the name of my headphones it doesn’t pair. Any suggestions?

Hi malfoy95,


We understand that you're experiencing an issue pairing your AirPods to your TV, and we'd like to help.


Just to confirm, do you see any specific error messages when you attempt to pair your AirPods? If so, what does the error say?


Are you trying to pair your AirPods to Apple TV? "Apple AirPods connect automatically to Apple TV if they’re associated with the same Apple ID." More about that under the "Connect Bluetooth devices to Apple TV" part of this page: Connect Bluetooth devices to Apple TV


If you're trying to pair your AirPods with a non-Apple device, please see the "Use AirPods with a non-Apple device" part of this link for some helpful information: Set up AirPods with your Mac and other Bluetooth devices



Take care!

malfoy95,


Thank you for letting us know.


Does the issue only happen when trying to pair your AirPods to your TV? In other words, are you able to pair your AirPods to other devices without an issue?


If the issue only happens when trying to pair your AirPods to your LG TV, we may need to have you contact LG for further assistance.


If you're unable to get your AirPods to connect to an iOS device or Mac as well, the information and steps here may help: If your AirPods won't connect


Thank you.
