Why Does My Airpods Say No Location Found

Why Does My Airpods Say No Location Found

Do you have an iPhone or iPad with you when you try to connect your AirPods? If not, don’t worry. Your AirPods will still connect once you’re in range of your device again. Once you have your iPhone or iPad connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your AirPods, open the Settings app and tap on Bluetooth. Make sure that both the green light next to “Apple Wireless Devices” and the green light next to “AirPods” are on. You can also check if both devices are in range by looking for their names next to their respective checkmarks. Check these steps again if it doesn’t work at first.

Why Does My Airpods Say No Location Found?

Check iCloud Location Services

The first thing you should check is iCloud Location Services. If you’ve turned off location services for your AirPods, then they won’t be able to connect to your iPhone. Go to “Settings” > “Privacy” > “Location Services” > and toggle on “Bluetooth”. If you’ve done this but still can’t connect your AirPods, then it’s time to move on to the next solution.

Reset and Re-sync Your AirPods

If your AirPods still won’t connect after checking that your iPhone’s location services are turned on, then you might have to reset your AirPods and re-sync them to your device. To do this, open the charging case and hold down both the “connect” and the “disconnect” buttons for about 10 seconds. When you see the status light in the case turn off, then you can open the lid again and re-insert your AirPods. After doing this, make sure to re-pair your AirPods to your iPhone by following the steps outlined in “Check these steps again if it doesn’t work at first.”

Check for iOS Updates

If your AirPods still won’t connect to your iPhone even after resetting them and re-syncing them, then the problem could be an iOS bug. You can check for iOS updates by going to “Settings” > “General” > “Software Update”. Make sure to download and install any updates that show up. If you don’t see any updates, try connecting your AirPods to your computer and let iTunes update them

Check for AirPod Firmware Updates

If you still can’t get your AirPods to connect, then the problem might be a firmware issue. To check for AirPod firmware updates, pair your AirPods to your computer and open the “Bluetooth” settings in iTunes. Click on “About” to check for updates. If a new version is available, let iTunes install it. If you still can’t get your AirPods to connect after checking for iOS updates and checking for AirPod firmware updates, then the problem could be a hardware issue.

AirPods Are Still Not Discoverable?

If all of these things still don’t work, then there could be a problem with the hardware. AirPods, unfortunately, don’t have a warranty, but you can still get them repaired. You can also try to send them back to Apple, but they won’t be able to repair or replace your AirPods. You can also try to use alternative wireless Bluetooth headphones or earbuds with your iPhone. You can also see if there are any tips or tricks that will help you fix the problem.

Why Can’t Airpods Be Tracked?

1. The AirPods are not Bluetooth-enabled.

So, if you have an iPhone 5s or later and you have enabled Bluetooth on the device, but your AirPods are not showing up in the iPhone’s Bluetooth menu, then your AirPods are not “Bluetooth enabled.”

2. Your AirPods require a firmware version that doesn’t support tracking.

If you’ve purchased AirPods from Apple or another retailer, then your AirPods likely came with a firmware version that does not show up in the iPhone’s Bluetooth menu. When this happens, your AirPods will not appear in the iPhone’s Bluetooth menu until you upgrade to a later firmware version.

3. Your AirPods are not discoverable by the iPhone because of interference from other wireless devices.

Apple has noted that some users have experienced issues with their AirPods when using them with other wireless devices such as Bluetooth headphones or wireless keyboards and mice. If you have any other wireless devices that are causing interference with your AirPods, then it is recommended that you disconnect all other devices and try again to pair them to your iPhone.

4. There are no available pairing codes for your AirPods in iOS 11 or earlier versions of iOS.

If you’re using an older version of iOS (iOS 7 or earlier), then there may be no pairing codes available for your device so they will remain unresponsive during setup and pairing. It is recommended that you update to iOS 11 on your device if possible and update to a later version of iOS if necessary before attempting to pair any new devices including your AirPods or any new accessories such as Bluetooth-enabled speakers, and headphones, etc.

5. You don’t have the latest version of iOS installed on your device.

If you do not have the latest version of iOS, then you will likely not be able to pair your AirPods with your iPhone. It is recommended that you update to the latest version of iOS before attempting to pair any new devices including your AirPods or any new accessories such as Bluetooth-enabled speakers, headphones, etc.

6. Your iPhone is not connected to Wi-Fi.

If your iPhone is not connected to Wi-Fi, then you will be unable to pair your AirPods with your iPhone. It is recommended that you turn on Wi-Fi and connect your device to the Internet before attempting to pair any new devices including your AirPods or any new accessories such as Bluetooth-enabled speakers, headphones, etc.

7. Your AirPods are not “paired” with your iPhone yet.

You may be able to pair the AirPods with a different device, but if you attempt to pair them with another device and still see an “Unable to pair” message on the screen of either device, then it means that they are not paired with each other yet so they will still show up as unavailable in both devices’ Bluetooth menus until they are paired together.

8. You have already paired the AirPods with a different device and now need to unpair them from that previous pairing and re-pair them again with your iPhone.

If you have already paired the AirPods with another device and need to unpair them from that previous pairing and re-pair them again with your iPhone, then follow these steps: 1) Open Settings on both devices by double tapping on their respective Home buttons (Settings icon). 2) Select Bluetooth under the “General” section of either settings menu 3) Select the name of one of the devices in question.

Conclusion

Your AirPods should connect automatically to your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac once they are in the range of your device. If you’re having trouble getting your AirPods to connect, then try to follow these steps and see if you can get them connected. If you’re still having trouble connecting your AirPods, then check for any firmware updates and contact Apple Support if you still can’t get them to connect.
