I

I have an AirTag that I bought the battery died in it. I finally got it replaced and it will not let me do anything with it. It says it is registered to another Apple ID. It’s not and when I do the search for it only gives me a serial number it doesn’t show what Apple ID is connected to. It doesn’t show a phone number. Is this fixable or do I just need to throw my apple airtag in the trash?

AirTag registered to another Apple ID after battery replacement The battery died on my AirTag, when I replaced the battery it wouldn't connect with my Iphone so I deleted from my iphone.

What is the issue and how do I resolve it? [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: airtag

New Airtag already connected to another Apple ID Hi everyone, I need some help with an AirTag I purchased in September 2023. I opened the box but didn't configure it right away. Now, when I try to set it up, it says it's already configured with another Apple ID. I've tried resetting it using the method of removing the battery four times, but it hasn't worked. I have no idea which Apple ID it might be connected to so I can't remove it. I bought the AirTag from the official Apple website, and I still have the box and the receipt to prove it's mine. Does anyone know how to reset it or fix this issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

what should i do if my airtag is connected to my old apple id that i no longer have access to? I need help trying to connect my airtag to my current apple id/device. I've tried doing the replace battery take in and out 4x thing but it hasn't completely worked for me;( it acts as if it is reset and ready to connect til it gets to the last step of completion and notifies me that it is connected to a different apple id ( my old account) I've tried getting into my old account to disable it myself but without knowing the password, no longer using the phone number linked, or the email I cannot remember, I cannot access!

You seem sure the AirTag is not connected to another Apple ID.

You might want to try resetting it.

If it is a second-hand AirTag, you might need to contact the former owner:
