    Make sure you are CONNECTED to the AirPods before you try to reset it because IT WILL NOT WORK! I tried it when I wasn’t connected with my iPhone and still came as someone else’s AirPods. So first connect AND ONLY THEN you can press the button on the back of the AirPods until the amber light turns on. I hope this helps !

      Had the same issue, got my airpods pro gen1 as 2ndhand with expired coverage, took it to apple store, had to be there 3 times until they decided to just give me a new one, and a gen2 airpod pros. I don’t know if it’s a company policy or was just the manager’s decision, but give it a try, I’m 100% sure apple wouldn’t be able to find a way to fix it even resetting it a thousand times.

      @CBRyan_600rr Год назад +1

      Unfortunately this reset does not allow for the precision finding. I bought a pair of airpod pro 2 refurbished from amazon but the find my is locked to the “previous owner” so i cannot use the precision find. I’m returning the refurbished and just buying it new from apple so that the icloud lock will be gone because the precision find is one of the main reasons i wanted the airpod pro 2s over the other airpods.

    Im so pissed. Today I saw a pair of AirPods on the floor. I took it and later a supervisor asked me if I took some AirPods and I say yes and had to give it back. If only i watched this video…

    How do u do this on AirPod max?

      For AirPods Max, you can reset them by pressing and holding the noise control button and the Digital Crown until the LED flashes amber, then white. This will reset them and clear any previous pairing. 👌

    It says the previous owner can still track this device. How do I fix that?

    • @TrevorNace

      Contact the previous owner to remove their Apple ID or factory reset the AirPods.
