AirPods not charging via MacBook

Is the AirPod charging case able to be charged via a MacBook?


I have new Gen 3 airpods with charging case that are not responding when they are plugged into the MacBook Air, with a usb-c -> lightning cable.

Hey louis_garr,


That's a great question! You should be able to charge it as long as there is a power source available. Did you try it on another computer or a wall outlet? If it works on another computer or wall outlet, there might be an issue coming from the Mac port. If it doesn't work on another computer or wall outlet, you may have an issue with the charging cable.


If you haven't yet, we recommend that you test it out to help us further isolate the issue. Also, see this article for more information: If your AirPods won’t charge


Cheers!
