I lost my air pods and later found them almost a year later. I can't connect them to phone, iPad or iMac. I have reset multiple times and still nothing. I believe I reported them lost not sure if that has anything to do with it ?

The air pods try and connect but will not connect to any of my apple products. I have reset several times and nothing. I did loose the pods last year and just recently found them in my truck. I believe I reported them lost at the time. They are not even being seen in my bluetooth list

Hi Jasond1023,


We understand you need help with your AirPods and we want to help.


You'll want to try and charge them and reset them to set them up again:

If you can't get them working the batteries are likely damaged from a long time discharged and you may need to seek your repair options or replace them:
