Bluetooth Won\'t Connect

Quick fixes (try in order)

1. Bluetooth on? — Settings → Bluetooth → ON.
2. Restart Bluetooth — toggle OFF, wait 5 seconds, toggle ON.
3. Restart the device (the phone, computer, etc.).
4. Restart the Bluetooth accessory — turn off, wait, turn on. Or hold reset button on AirPods case (5 seconds till light flashes).
5. "Forget" the device — Settings → Bluetooth → tap (i) next to device → "Forget". Then re-pair from scratch.
6. Move closer — Bluetooth range is 30 feet. Walls cut range.
7. Check battery on the accessory. AirPods need a charged case.
8. Update software — Settings → General → Software Update.

AirPods specifically

1. Open AirPods case lid near iPhone. Wait — pop-up should appear.
2. If no pop-up: Settings → Bluetooth → "AirPods" listed but disconnected. Tap to connect.
3. If not listed: hold the button on back of case for 15 seconds until light flashes WHITE (not orange).
4. Pop-up should reappear. Tap "Connect".
5. If fully bricked: forget device, reset case (back button 15+ seconds), then re-pair.

Bluetooth speaker stuck

• Unpair from old phone (or that phone is interfering).
• Hold speaker\'s Bluetooth button for 5-10 seconds → "discoverable" mode.
• Look in your phone\'s Bluetooth list — speaker should appear with name.
• Some speakers can only pair to ONE device at a time — switch back via button.

Bluetooth mouse / keyboard

• Replace batteries.
• Reset device (most have a tiny pinhole reset).
• Computer: Settings → Bluetooth → Forget device → Add new.
• If still not working: USB receiver may have failed. Some logitech mice come with a tiny "Unifying receiver" USB dongle.
