Did this work for you?

No, didnt work
No
lol mine didn’t turn a,ber
I've sold the airpods. And there are nowhere to be found on my apple account but the new owner restarts them like that, but still their iPhone shows that airpods belong to me.. don't know how or what to do
No
Let’s be honest we all know why we’re here 💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂😊
Crying
I had no idea I’d be here some girl at school just gave me a free pair for no reason at all
Ong bro I jus got som from som kid😂😂😂😂 there mine now
Smart man 😂😂😂
Thanks. my job had some in lost and found and it passed the 90 day period. Thought they would have to go into the trash after all. lol.
Is it possible that someone connected to your AirPods Pro can keep a track on your updated locations in Find My?
Thanks man, i just bought mine from a pawn shop and it had the tracking info for that person to find my house and had me a bit nervous. Even though I had just bought them.
I found some but it said the owner was able to see who used them and where
Thanks dude, now the GUY can’t track my address, now I got new AirPods.
Does it work and how fast do it work I'm at school and can't watch it right now lmao
Same
idk but i stole some girls airpod pros
@@ColeBrillhow you reset them bro
So you lost it or stolen you can’t get it back basically coz the person who found it or stole it will reset it and keep it am I correct?
Pretty much
I did this and it doesnt show up on find my anymore
Thank you, i was messing with this to fix it for 2 hours finally came to your video. Great time saver video
Thank you SO much! My step mother gave me hers when she upgraded and they were always notifying me that the owner could see them and she could track wherever I went! Haha!!
That’s great I was getting paranoid with my own because I gave them to my brother and then get these tracking notifications always like he knows where I am😂
I lost my left earbud at the mall and I’ve watched them travel all the way to Miami on the Find My App. I still have the case so is the person who took them even able to use them?
yea by connecting it to their case
I have the dual error of 'set up incomplete' and 'mismatched' on AirPods pros. Apple supports says I mixed up my AirPods, but it isn't possible. This did not work for me unfortunately. Any other ideas?
I have same problem. Any solutions?
i also had this issue i kept trying to fix it and somehow it worked and currently atleast doesnt show up and i can actually see the location. no idea what i did exactly or what combination of things worked. sorry just keep trying it in diffrent ways and it might work for you also.
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.
same thing with mine if i go to "Find My'..
Bro you risolved? Pls anser me
Can you do the same thing with air max?? Like the big ones??
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 !
I was struggling with this and your comment helped so thanks !!
your a legend
This was the ticket to get the whole thing to work! Tried the recommended way countless times before connecting like @kriti.k758 recommends, then BINGO! Reset and removed from previous owners appleid.
Yes, thank you!
Thx dude,almost depress with that situation.
I lost my one AirPod & I removed the other one from my device but can’t connect back do I need both to connect fully??
Can the old owner still track them?
yes
Realy 😢
None of this worked for me. I held the button until it went amber and it still said “AirPods-find my”. And when I put them in my ears they won’t play.
Yup same
will this revome the tracking option from previous owner
Yes
No it does not work I made a new Apple ID and my airpod 3 were connected to to the old one and it’s constantly telling me the owner of the AirPods can see lmao
@@AdventuresWithAnnieYTcan he able to track or no?
I found the airpods in lost mode, connected them and the message that they were lost appeared, then I did a factory reset on them and they were already connected to my icloud. Now can the previous owner see their last location before the factory reset?
And?
Yes
I thought they can still use find my or other options since still apple
Id related
Will this work for the newest pro 2 with type c??
I am a previous owner and the mf who stole it from me hasn’t found this video yet
mine never shows that amber light. is there another way
This is my question, I bought the right side iPod on Amazon, and I had no problem linking them but it is giving me a message that it has not been unlinked from the account, what can I do?
How do I do this with AirPod maxes(the headphones)
thanks man, God just blessed me with a pair and I need to figure out how to restore them
Doesn’t work for me. I open them. Reconnect. They show up with my name still. Is this because I’ve marked them as lost in the past?
Thanks bro i stole a pair and i really needed to know how to remove the location from the previous owner🙏🙏
Why would you just admit to a crime
same man same
me too but the mfs sent me a letter bro 😭
cuz its funny@@StevnPlayzRoblox
@@boyblunder4587So it doesn't work??
What if I never get amber it flashes white then goes back to flashing green
Just hold them until its amber
what should i do if the light is not orange but red?
Appreciate but there is a problem (apparently just for me😂) when I do this with my AirPods that I founded at the airport, in Find My I still don’t see them and it says that they’re connected to another ID Apple so basically the actual owner can see where are! Can someone explain thx 🙏
You Need to redo the process only way
That’s a bit of a hassle! If the AirPods are still connected to the original Apple ID, the previous owner can track them. You should better reach out to Apple Support. They can help with the next steps. 😊
I need help it keeps popping up their names
I’m just getting blinking white what tht mean ?
just keep holding you will get amber for sure
For my AirPods Pro 2 In my find my app shows only directions not showing the precise find option I reset several times it not showing?
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.
found these on the street,thanks homie.
i did all of this and everything was the same except the name is still on tehre and i wanna get rid of it on there
Does it works for Airpods MAx too?
Yes, it does.
Why do you talk in slow motion?
I got mine off of Amazon and this doesn't work.
Thanks this helped. Cus I always wonder how my wife knew all my moves 😂 I thought she let me borrow hers them indefinitely out of kindness
It doesn’t work. My kid can still connect after I reset it.
That means my ex can still track me.
@@bestie_i_9103It doesn’t stop connection capability. It only removes them from the iCloud.
Who else found a pair of airpods lying around
You also have to reset each individual pod along with the charging case or you will still be tracked by the original owner.
How?
oh no, i tried doing the individual pods how it said on 'find my' but it didn't work!
How do you do that?
does it remove their apple id
It didn't give me a set up option, anyone know what to do ?
Thanks. Nice and moderate speed of instruction. 😊I leveled up to AirPods Pro and i’m handing my previous AirPods to my husband.
Didn’t work for me. Light turned amber and everything. I got an alert that the previous owner could still track them.
So what you do ?
Make sure You’re connected first and then reset them
@@izelkelly3038how are you gonna connect to the pervious owner you first have to reset them but the reset isn’t working
Only video on the internet with the solution to my problem
Ok so I factory reset them and it worked, but they won’t stay connected to my phone and it didn’t show me the set up later option just continue
now my airpods says “airpod mismatch” what does it mean?
Have you fixed this?
I had this issue & it told me it was due to having different generations of airpods in the case
You have 1st gen pods in 2nd gen case or vice versa.
It didnt remove the name .. how do u know it reset it?
What if my airpods connected to my apple id , if someones reset it , so is that possible so i can track my airpods ?
is it tracking previous owners??
Yes
I got white light just flashing doesn’t go amber I hold it for good while 🤦🏼♂️ light flashes back to white I’m stuck
Sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your AirPods. The flashing white light usually means the AirPods are in pairing mode, but they might not be resetting properly. Try these steps:
1. Ensure you’re pressing and holding the setup button long enough: Keep holding it until the light flashes amber and then white.
2. Check the battery levels: Ensure the AirPods and the case have enough charge.
3. Try resetting the AirPods again: Place them back in the case, wait for a few seconds, and then try the reset process once more.
I have problem my mom just found an airpods but its says owner can see the location woud reset fix it?
No… my ex can still track me. I reset mine and my kid still connected to it.
didnt work for me. I have my light stays green. it shows up on my iphone and tells me to press the back to connect, but nothing happens. anyone know why?
Your shit fake
@@ajonie5084 I guess so. I just tossed in the trash lol gave up along time ago
It says the previous owner can still track this device. How do I fix that?
Contact the previous owner to remove their Apple ID or factory reset the AirPods.
@@TrevorNacebruh 💀 9 times outta 10 i don’t think they want to contact the owner for specific reasons
I've tried this about 10 times and when I try to switch on the Find My Network it's telling me to contact the previous owner to ask them to remove the AirPods. But I have no idea who the guy is.
U have to do it when connected to your phone then it works if Bluetooth is not connected while doing it then it not gonna work
@@basveshk8831it still won't work for me. The light turns amber but never white again
You can do this unless the owner marks them as lost. So find em and do that ish quick in the location and move on. Works like a charm
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. 👌
After doing this, it’s still won’t show the location on Find My. Why?
Honestly I only found mine but it keeps flashing the green light but won’t show white or amber it only shows amber when charging it but other than that it won’t show any other light won’t pop up on my Bluetooth list at all any help guys? I’ve deadass tried everything
Thank youuuuu got me sum new air pods
Does this actually work? I thought only the owner can remove them from find my
Yes! I think it did work!
Thanks .. my daughter connect her i phone to my ear pods and since then the ear pods shows that im not the owner and that really bothers me 😅
Very informative and quick! Thank you 🙏
I was having a hard time because the other owners email kept on popping up until I pressed the button then the amber light came on and I kept it pushed until the white light came on closed AirPods opened them and they worked
But can the previous owner still see the location of the airpods tho??? I dont want someone creeping at me
If you got them legitimately you should have nothing to worry about… right?
@@Nicholasjkonyha I found them and there is no contact information, so i would like to keep them...
Same
@@lvllb3744same i found them at work in a huge office building with a bunch of companies so i’m like….can they see me cause i don’t mind returning them but my location is kind of trippin me out
I'm having this problem too. I bought airpro max for 150 on marketplace. Idk if they are stolen! But the previous owner keeps putting notifications out that they are tracking me. Or they see the device is moving. It's freaking me out. Never stole anything in my life. I bought them for my husband but he didn't like them. I never bought something like this used before. This will be my last time. I'm keeping all the messages from previous seller cuz I'm scared I'm going to get confronted or the seller is trying something. Not really sure. But I'd like to cut them off and not have my location!!
i bought a replacement pod from ebay because i lost my right one, and when i put it in the case with the left one i get a mismatch error and it won’t reset. does anyone know a solution to this?
I have the same thing. Did you get a solution?
Same issue here
@@Yezplot23 I got min e to update only after I plugged in the power cord into the case. Whatever steps you do, keep it plugged in.
I bought mine off of Facebook but mine won’t reset it turns white then amber then green
Can someone help
When I hold on the button on the back the white light doesn’t flash, it just stays white, could anybody please help?
Make sure they’re paired first
Thanks man it's help me alot
Mine won't reset tried everything and can't get the previous owner off
mines doesnt show amber it just flashes then cuts off
IT’s connection ups it says Mitch match.
I did this like 10 times and it still says the other person’s name when I go to connect.
It’s honestly so sad, that most people in these comments just openly admit to stealing something that isn’t theirs. So childish.
Some people in the comments are just joking around, but it’s definitely important to respect others' property. It’s always best to find the right way to handle things. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Anton! 😊
What does it mean if it’s flashing green
it means that the AirPods case/pods are fully charged
Bro I love this video! Thanks for sharing how to use semi brand new AirPods! Love it ❤ cheerrrrsssssss!
Happy I could help.
Thank you for this, it saved my airpodd because I thought they were broken😂
Same bro I had my dads case and their old AirPod pros 1 were in a 2nd gen c are so I took it but someone had it before so thank you
so i’ve paired them w my phone and i can find them on My Location but can the previous owner still track them? my ex gave them to me but don’t want them to spy on me lol
Yup she can track u
We all here for one reason 😂😂
This does not work, I remove them from my account and all places, literally all and still saying on my aunt’s iphone 3 times a day a message that belongs to me
Thanks bro I pickpocketed someone for thid
Thank you. This video helped. I bought a pair from Facebook market and the original owner didn’t do this. Was kinda frustrating cause I’m not called Veronica 😂😂
And it’s work thankyou
Ok Veronica 😂
@@mmace3😂
So, can you able to use the find my feature on your AirPods
Why can’t apple make these instructions this easy
I don’t get the white flash at all
Hey Andria! If you're not seeing the white flash, try holding the setup button on the case for about 15 seconds until you see the amber light flash a few times. If it still doesn’t work, make sure your AirPods are charged and check if there's any obstruction.
Not working. This process must be done in airplane mode (only bluetooth enabled)
Pls tell me the old owner cannot track 😭 My ex has been tracking me and i just did this, i hope it worked
bro did it work?
He can still track. This video is basically lying, following these steps does not factor reset, you need to follow these steps first and then once your phone is connected THEN follow the steps again, only then will it reset to your device and automatically change the name to let you know it was done correctly. Then try looking for the AirPods one FindMy and you should see them
Did it work plz tell me I need to know
@@beneboiketubosin6834 Omg i think so 😭😭
Mine still the previous name pop up
Thankyou Basic and to the point. .
I tried to sell mine, 5 idiots that work in a tech store didnt know this 😂, thank you for this information
Doesn’t work it’s bullshit. If I keep holding the button it will turn red/orange then I leave the button and the red/orange light keep flashing. That’s it and when I try to connect it says not your iPod
THANK YOU
Dose this actually work?😊
I keep doing the same process over and over but i keep getting the same! The owner of this items will be able to see location! Sounds like a mistake buying on facebook marketplace! They could be tracking where people lives
No used AirPods are going in my ear.
Thank you so much brother ❤❤
Thanks. My "dad" "gave" me his airpods pro. I couldn't find a way to remove his apple id from it and replace it with mine.
