Are you having a difficult time with your HomePod? If so, resetting your HomePod is a troubleshooting method that has a high success of working. Luckily, resetting your HomePod to its factory settings can be achieved in a few moments using the Home app.
Resetting your HomePod is very similar to any other Apple Device. In that case, you may be familiar with the idea of resetting the device to factory settings, which resolves the issues typically. Apple’s HomePod and HomePod mini speakers are no diverse in that regard when it comes to the Reset method. If you’re resetting the HomePod to sell it or you’re troubleshooting a problem with the device itself.
The most straightforward way to reset your HomePod is by using the Home app installed on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Just follow the steps outlined below:
That’s how you remove it via the Home App. You’re HomePod will be reset and released as an accessory.
If your HomePod isn’t responding correctly or isn’t populating in the Home app, you’ll need to reset it utilizing the HomePods physical buttons. Outlined below is what you need to do.
That’s it! You have successfully reset your HomePod using physical buttons. Check your Home App after resetting the HomePod to remove the accessory.
Once reset, you’ll need to set up your HomePod like your first did when you purchased it. The physical button reset method is preferred if you have an HomePod that is unresponsive. The Home app reset technique can be used if you need to send your device in for service or if you plan on selling the device. The two ways we discussed resetting your HomePod should cover every instance unless you have a HomePod Mini.
If you own the HomePod Mini, there’s a third option that you can try if the first two methods were unsuccessful. The HomePod Mini has a charging cable that you can plugin into a MacBook, Mac Mini, iMac, or a PC. Using the cable, you can use Finder or iTunes to restore the HomePod Mini to its factory settings.
After resetting your HomePod, you will need to set it back up! Below are the steps to set it up!
A white screen, Wi-Fi incompatibility, or a -6722 error code. These are all signs that your HomePod can’t get through the device’s initial setup. Fortunately, there is hope if you’re having trouble with this! First things first: confirm that iOS and the Homepod both have access to the same network and running the latest firmware versions of each operating system. If so, check for two-factor authentication enabled in Apple ID settings and iCloud Keychain.
For two-factor authentication on your iOS device, go to Settings > Your Name > Password and Security, then make sure the option is turned on. For the iCloud Keychain, go to Settings > Your Name > iCloud. If you’ve followed all these steps correctly but are still having trouble connecting or logging in with 2FA enabled, it could be network related
The HomePod is designed to interact seamlessly with your Apple devices such as your iPhone. When you’re setting it up for the first time, some people find that the HomePod doesn’t seem to show up on their iPhone. The source of the problem can be a lot of things, but one easy solution is to follow these steps:
Did you know that the HomePod can also be used via AirPlay? If it isn’t showing up on your list of available sources, here’s how to fix this:
If you’re streaming from your Apple TV, you’ll also need to enable Airplay enabled for the device. To do so, using your Apple TV remote, go to Settings > Airplay, then enable Airplay.
Still no Airplay? As we’ve mentioned previously, do a hard reset of your HomePod and your iOS device, and then try using Airplay again.
