Fixing Apple AirPods Device Won’t Connect or Pair with Connection Failed Error on Mac or iPhone
#1 – Move Your AirPods Closer
The Connection Failed error happens maybe because your iOS or Mac device is far from your AirPods. Even if it works wirelessly, there is also a maximum distance between your device and AirPods to pair them. Try to move your AirPods closer to your device and reconnect.
#2 – Refresh Your Bluetooth Connection
Pairing your AirPods earbuds is possible through your Bluetooth connection. If you have problems pairing, reset your Bluetooth by turning it off and on again. Go to your phone settings. Access the Bluetooth option and toggle the button to Off. Toggle it back to On and try pairing again.
#3 – Restart Your Device
Restarting your device will refresh your connection and processes. Close all the running apps and shut down your mobile device. Turn it back on and try reconnecting your AirPods.
#4 – Make Sure Your Charging Lid is Open
An important note to remember when pairing your AirPods is to keep the charging case open. Closing it will result in the connection error. Open your charging lid and try pairing again.
#5 – Reconnect Your AirPods
Another solution is to forget your AirPods from your Bluetooth connection and reconnect it. To do this, go to your phone settings. Access the Bluetooth option and look for your AirPods. Tap the small letter I icon and tap Forget This Device.
When reconnecting, put your AirPods inside the charging case and close it for 30 seconds. Open it again. At the back of the case, hold the setup button until you see the while light flashing. Move your AirPods closer to your device and follow the instructions on how to reconnect it.
