In order to connect your AirPods to your MacBook, you will need to have the latest version of macOS installed on your device. You will also need to have the latest version of the AirPods software installed.

The next step is to turn on Bluetooth on your MacBook. To do this, go to the “System Preferences” app on your device and select the “Bluetooth” icon.
