They will work, but they can be tracked by the previous owners find my unless they physically remove the device themselves. They will say your name, but if you go to find my, it will say miss matched AirPods, one or all can be tracked by the owner. I found a pair and I did this trick. I will continue to use them unless the owner tries to contact me or tries to find them.
For those people who know that the device is disconnected from the previous owner: Delete yours from find my or the blue tooth menu Hold the back button until it turns orange Connect them, then head to settings and click on the AirPods configurations menu Re-name the AirPods to something different This worked for me
Thank you so much. After wasting days with Apple instructions and settings to try removing AirPods from a family member’s iCloud account so I could use them with my phone, your simple instructions to hold the case button to reset them saved me. Why can’t Apple create instructions and settings that just work?
When I did this, it flashed white and then flashed green and then started flashing white again. I don’t know why the part where it flashes red it doesn’t pop up.
Hi sir i have a concern. Why there is still mismatched appear in find my even i reset already my airpods pro. Still traceable? The previous owner my location? And they can still ring the speaker case even i several times reset my airpods but still mismatched.
You also sometimes have to do this 4 times. I did it with AirPod pros and a set of 3rd gens and I had the same problem as you. After reading up a lot of things on line I found out that you need to hard reset them about 4 or 5 times in a row to completely wipe them (don’t ask me why but it worked) also make sure u press forget these on your Bluetooth settings
Hey, I bought some airpods pro2 last year and sadly I dropped the right sided airpod and it shattered. Fast forward a few months I bought the same type of airpods and accidentally lost the left sided one about 2 weeks ago. Is there anyway to combine the right airpod I currently have to the left airpod from my previous case??
I tried resetting the AirPods, it turned amber and said connect to AirPods instead of AirPods aren’t yours except when I connected to them it still said the previous owner could see them, how do I fix this?
i bought AirPods pro 2 from the marketplace and reset them as you told, but I can’t use Find my feature with these AirPods, it shows two errors, AirPods setup incomplete & AirPods mismatch, i think its still connected to previous owner
@@z-a-p I've had airpods pro 1s gen since release and 2 years ago i lost em so i bought referbished ones from the marketplace and they sound the same if not better and everything works fine but i had the same problem does this still mean they're fake?
Once you factory reset they won’t be able to (per Apple - you can find it on their website) Make sure you disconnect the AirPods from your Bluetooth and if they show up on your ‘find my’ app - disconnect them as well. Then perform the factory reset like this video. You won’t have any issue
My friend got the same issue. He bought iphone 11 and airpods 3. Somehow airpods cant setup on find my, but previous owner said its not attach to her acc anymore
Make sure your phone is up to date Then: Forget the device (from Bluetooth) Find my app> remove from account Reset phone Turn on airplane mode Factory reset the AirPods like the above Turn on airplane mode Now connect. It should work. You want to make sure it’s never connected to your phone before you factory reset. (Hence why you remove from Bluetooth and your find my app) Turning on airplane mode will prevent them from auto connecting when you reset the pods since the case has to be open. I hope that helped - it worked for me :)
Brother i bought airpods pro from someone but only with one airpods inside i am trying to reseting it but nothing is happening as when i am performing the reset option it shows green light after instead of amber light. What should i do now? How can i reset it with one airpod
I'm looking for what to do with airpods that won't factory reset. I've performed a reset dozens of times. All you showed is how to perform a reset. Wtf what do I do if it always says tr old owners name?
This method isn’t working. I have a pair of AirPods Pro 2. It was in lost and found for 6 months and no one has come to get them. When I try to reset the AirPods, it would still show that the previous owner will see the location. How do I proceed?

thanks now i can use the airpod collection ive accumulated over the past few years
No worries glad I could help you reset the AirPods.

Seems like it solved all of my problems, thank you very much ❤
For those people who know that the device is disconnected from the previous owner:
Delete yours from find my or the blue tooth menu
Hold the back button until it turns orange
Connect them, then head to settings and click on the AirPods configurations menu
Re-name the AirPods to something different
This worked for me
Thanks
@@kuroxell of course!
But it still shows that the previous owner Can see it, i suppose i am the previous owners because i resettet it after making it mine?

Watched countless videos. No matter what, i do not get any amber/orange-ish colors for a reset! Only green and bright white!
It didn’t work I followed step by step. It turned amber but the previous owner still showing. I found left one only and case
It needs both airpods inside the case to reset

@@mikeep4283how do you do it so many times in a row? Do you just keep connecting and then disconnecting?
I'm trying to reset mine. But the light keeps blinking amber. Help! I've tried everything
What if only one AirPod needs to be reset

Yeah it’s possible just put them both in the same case
There’s no way it shattered you must of had fakes forshure
why cant i track it?
What if you already connected before you reset them ?
Go to Bluetooth settings and hit the blue icon next to AirPods and click forget device
I tried resetting the AirPods, it turned amber and said connect to AirPods instead of AirPods aren’t yours except when I connected to them it still said the previous owner could see them, how do I fix this?
SSSSSIIIIIICCCCCCCKKKKK THANK YOU
Glad to help!!!
i bought AirPods pro 2 from the marketplace and reset them as you told, but I can’t use Find my feature with these AirPods, it shows two errors, AirPods setup incomplete & AirPods mismatch, i think its still connected to previous owner
Did you fix it if you do how ?
that means their fake
Update your phone on latest software
@@z-a-p I've had airpods pro 1s gen since release and 2 years ago i lost em so i bought referbished ones from the marketplace and they sound the same if not better and everything works fine but i had the same problem does this still mean they're fake?
mine says the same thing and i bought them from target airpod pros 1st gen
thanks, this rly convenient since i just “borrowed” my friends lol
Happy to help you with your borrowed AirPods
Does this delete the icloud lock or apple previous owner?
Also curious, as I bought some from marketplace and now I'm worried after seeing this the person i bought them from can see my location?
Once you factory reset they won’t be able to (per Apple - you can find it on their website)
Make sure you disconnect the AirPods from your Bluetooth and if they show up on your ‘find my’ app - disconnect them as well.
Then perform the factory reset like this video. You won’t have any issue
I just did this. But when I go to find my it says that air pods are mismatched and that the owner can see the location still?
After a reset it shouldn’t say that. Try restarting the iPhone, log out of iCloud and log back in, reset the AirPods again and see if it fixes.
i found a fix! Go into the settings for the airpods and turn off “find my network”. Fixes it straight away, you can track them perfectly no issue
Did you sort it bro? Sort of having same issue
My friend got the same issue. He bought iphone 11 and airpods 3. Somehow airpods cant setup on find my, but previous owner said its not attach to her acc anymore
Lost my ipods and tried finding them with your other video. Can I disconnect them from current user (who I think found them)
Nice one and will that still work if the other person had it connected too I cloud thanks 😎
As far as I know once they are factory reset they will work.
Hey please I need your help my Face ID it disabled on my iPhone 11 promax so I need your help
It didn' work. I can't unlink them. It still shows the previous owner
Mines too. I found a left only AirPod pro with case but it didn’t disconnect
Make sure your phone is up to date
Then:
Forget the device (from Bluetooth)
Find my app> remove from account
Reset phone
Turn on airplane mode
Factory reset the AirPods like the above
Turn on airplane mode
Now connect. It should work. You want to make sure it’s never connected to your phone before you factory reset. (Hence why you remove from Bluetooth and your find my app) Turning on airplane mode will prevent them from auto connecting when you reset the pods since the case has to be open.

That’s exactly what I’m wondering
Hi, im not seeing my name when airpods 2pro are connected. They are just named 'Airpods pro' - without my ID name. Is it a standard thing? thx!
I tried this and the kid I stole them from chased me around the school With his strong friend
Could you please cooperate? I have a lot of airpods.
What?
