Hi A_Gray313,

Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


Re: "Trouble connecting IPods"


We don't have much information about your ear IPods / or situation / in order to help.


As Apple's AirPods seem to be designed to work mainly with Apple products, third-party (non-Apple) products may not always be compatible.


Re: Why can’t I connect my ear IPods


Wondering whether they have the necessary power (ie charged ok),

and

if they can be placed in discovery mode, ready to connect (some brands "blink"):

and

whether they've been connected ok before, or this is the first time trying to connect.


If earPods are charged, and in discovery mode :

If you haven't already, you might want to try wearing your earPods, 

and 

on iPhone:   Try Settings > Bluetooth > tap "Not Connected"
