- Restart the Device with Pending Sound Request:Sometimes, restarting the device that initiated the sound request can help clear any pending actions. Restart the device and then check if you can activate Lost Mode on your AirPods.
- Wait for Pending Action to Time Out:In some cases, the pending sound request might time out on its own. Wait for some time (typically a few hours) and then attempt to activate Lost Mode again.
If none of the above steps work and the pending sound request is still preventing you from activating Lost Mode, you may need to wait for it to time out or consider reaching out to Apple Support for further assistance. They can provide guidance and help resolve any issues you're experiencing with your AirPods and the Find My app.
