Derek writes. I wanted to follow up with some more info I found out about this issue. I think it is a shared Mac issue. I noticed that profiles on a Mac share all of the Bluetooth devices connected to it. That's probably how the mouse works between profiles. So when I connected my AirPods to the Mac studio, it automatically was added to Bluetooth on his account. But then it also got automatically added to Bluetooth on her Mac account, which because she is logged into icloud and he is logged into icloud on their individual accounts ended up syncing the Bluetooth list to those multiple devices. In the case it was her iPhone. So when she went into tap forget and it made her phone forget, then it also made her Mac forget which told icloud to make well actually I take back when she said forget on her phone, that made the phone forget and then told icloud hey, forget this device across everything that's logged into my icloud account, which meant that her Mac forgot. But because she is one account on the Mac then and the Bluetooth sort of profiles are shared between devices, then it caused that to drop from the list for her account, which caused it to drop from the list for Derek's account, which caused then it to tell icloud to get rid of that device across his devices to forget the device across his devices, which caused it to drop away from his iPhone. Now here's the interesting thing. Derek says we tested it. This doesn't happen with her AirPods to my account. So I'm guessing there's some kind of bug with my AirPods. The workaround I have right now is to go into settings for my AirPods on the Mac and her iPhone and change from automatically connect to this device to only when last connected. It seems to stop it from connecting automatically. So ultimately, Derek, yes, the best thing that you can do is on the iPhone, on her iPhone switch that to only connect when last connected and then on the Mac while she's logged in switch that to only while last connected. But I do think there's some sort of weird bug going on here and I think that it's on the icloud side of things because it seems like what's supposed to happen in this case is that your device, your AirPods should be telling the system, hey, this is a personal device and I only want you to connect it to me while I'm on my account. So what needs to happen I think is a full on reset of your AirPods, Derek and I Want to tell you this is a little bit involved, but long time ago I was having horrible issues with my airtags and I could not get them to work. And I've talked about it in the past. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail, but essentially it resulted in me needing to talk to actual engineers from Apple who work on the connection between iCloud and then Apple hardware specifically. And one of the things that they did was they had me go through the process of, oddly enough, forgetting my AirPods across devices. And it was not as simple as just going in and choosing to forget them in icloud. You need to, if you want to do this properly, so to speak, and see if we can't fix this bug that's making your AirPods act differently from hers, which when she connected them to her account on her device alone, didn't have this issue. You need to go into Find my and remove the AirPods from there. And then you need to go into Bluetooth on each of the devices that you have where these AirPods are showing up. Not just one, but all of them and choose forget device. Oftentimes it will happen where it syncs and it's fine. It'll, you know, you do it on one and then it makes it be it, it makes it drop from all of them. But check that each of the devices Truly has your AirPods forgotten and then force a factory reset of AirPods, which we'll include a link in the show notes for how to do that, and then reconnect them to your device at that point and see if that shakes loose whatever is causing them to appear across devices in the way that they are. Because it should not. If your wife's AirPods are able to do this without it kind of linking them between these two different profiles, yours should be able to do so too. My only other suggestion to you is to double check that when your wife's account is logged in, it is connected with her iCloud account that there is an icloud account that's signed in. Actually we call them Apple accounts now that her Apple account is logged in, not just locally as in, you know, I have a Mac account and I type in my password and I get in, but that, you know, messages and all of that stuff is logged in on that device or rather on that Mac account. Because if there's not an account attached to her Mac account, if there's not an Apple account attached to her Mac account, it could be that it's just sort of treating that as a sort of sub account to yours and then defaulting to having it any hardware devices attached to yours and vice versa. So there are some troubleshooting steps, more troubleshooting steps you can take here that don't involve kind of the workarounds that you're doing right now. Because I think ultimately the goal would be to try to get this to behave how it should be, which is that your AirPods are yours and no one else's and their, you know, her account isn't snatching your AirPods and syncing them between devices.
