AirPods won’t Reset

If you hold down the reset button the white light should blink rapidly when they have been reset.

There aren't any admins here to reply to you. Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and have them looked at.

Had the same issue. Thought it was something technical but after reading the post from khart5970 I blew into my iPod case and before I knew it I was connected. Give it a go guys!

You have to take someone else’s single AirPod and put it in your case then connect it to your phone. Then switch your AirPod back into the case and it should work.

I tried all of the following suggestions but didn’t work, simply wipe the bottom of each AirPod and the white light should turn on to sync with your device!

blow on where the AirPods go and then try

I've been battling this same issue for several days and was about to buy a new pair - white light continuously blinking without ever getting the mentioned amber flashes after long-pressing the setup button. My right one hasn't been working and when inserted into the case I'd get a flashing green light (which would turn solid green when the right, faulty one got taken out of the case). Meaning, the case would detect the right one being inserted, but clearly had some sort of a connection issue. This is probably anecdotal, specific to my case, and might not apply to all - but what fixed it was slamming it against a table. Now everything works as normal and I was able to factory reset without an issue.

Yes. If you read the whole thread, you’ll find instructions to fix it. Otherwise take them to the Apple Store with an appointment to fix them if you can’t. They don’t want you to spend $160 on something you can’t use either.

I was able to return mines to store... Apparently the store had multiple defective ones.. “ bad batch “

I can't believe this worked, but it totally did. Slammed it on a table and then I got the amber light. LOL #smh

FIX : If you or your family member have AirPods replace the damaged AirPod with your another AirPods and reset the working AirPods will connect and you can give the borrowed AirPod back

when i started using my airpod pros, one day the left airpod pro stopped working, but finally i had to reset my network settings and now they both work again and also thank you to khart5970

But that never happens. I have the same problem as the original post, except my right AirPod won't work and they won't reset. I hold the reset button and it slowly flashes white, never flashes amber. I can hold it for 2 mins to no avail. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

I don't even get a white blinking light, I basically have a green light when I open the case with my airpods in, I hold down the reset button on the back and the light turns a solid white, but then never flashes it will stay steady white for the length that I hold the button down then return to steady green once I let go.

I reset iPhone network settings and forgot airpods from Bluetooth, so not sure how to fix my issue short of a trip to the Genius Bar.

Simple answer is don't buy Apple airpods. They're expensive and overrated.

I bought a replacement airpod and had the same issue mentioned above and it still didn't work. Spent ~5 hours on the phone and on hold with Apple support with each technician having me jump through the same set of hoops. At the end they said, we'll send you another one. I asked if I could return the replacement airpod I bought because I don't want to use airpods anymore after all the hassle they put me through. Their response was no! You can't return something you just bought, that's against Apple policy. Still can't believe that was their answer.

So they forced me to take another replacement. I hope this next one works, but I highly doubt it given they had just given me a replacement left airpod. Even if it does I'm extremely disappointed with Apple's customer service and will definitely be looking for better headphones shortly.
