How to pair Galaxy Buds with a MacBook Air (Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra)

[sablet]

Received my free Galaxy Buds today (claim verified 14 March, delivered 9 April).

Paired succcessfully with S10+ and listened to music on the Buds.  All is good.

Looking how to pair with my MacBook Air.  In the Bluetooth section on the MacBook Air it does show the Buds while searching.  I have also turned BlueTooth off then on, etc. but that doesn't acheive anything.  I can't see any switch/button on the Buds or case to toogle identification. 

Previously, I have successfully paired my MacBook Air with my S10+.

Can I use the Buds to listen to music, streaming, podcasts, etc. on my MacBook Air? If so, can someone explain how this is achieved?

Do you know if 2013 macbook air still can connect with the buds? Specifically, buds+? None of the solutions are working for me

I also got the new + headphones and and had to update my OS to be able to connect. Something new came out I'm not sure what the name of the OS. My Mac is from 2017 but I think it's 2014 model.

Thanks so much!  I have been trying unsuccessfully to pair my galaxy buds to my Macbook pro for a month now.  I really appreciate the post 😊

Thank you Thank you! You saved me hours of trying to figure out how to pair up with my MacBook Pro.

Thank you!  I tried this method and it worked like a charm.  I held both touchpads while in my ears and pairing - my MacBook Pro recognized the Samsung Buds and voila!!!

It was a group effort...thanks to UtahBuzz's suggestion of holding touchpads, and everyone else's positive response, I too pursued and got my buds+ connected to my Macbook Air.

Go team!
