Fantastic and simple tutorial to reset the HomePod mini. I’ve been trying to get my two new HomePod minis set up, but one of them failed and didn’t matter what I tried I could not get it to work. Thank you so much. You’ve gained a subscriber.

Pretty much the first and easy video I’ve watch after having trouble on my HomePod mini for months.. thanks !!

You are a life saver! When adding my Apple TV 4K last night, I encountered numerous errors. After I reset Apple TV 4K and unplugged it, my HomePod mini suddenly became unavailable. Doing your tutorial reset allowed me to get my (two) HomePod mini back online. Thanks!

FINALLY STRAIGHT TO THE PONT! APPLE MAKES EVERYTHING SO GOD DAMN COMPLICATED

[paulguy]

Thank you for this very helpful video ;)! I bought a used one and right out of the box, Siri was telling me that it couldn’t connect to the internet so I consulted YouTube for a video like this on how to Reset it… because it’s my first HomePod from Apple and was wondering why it didn’t show up right away on my iPhone!

After resetting it I got it set up & working!

This was much more helpful than chatting with apple support themselves. Thank you.

God this was so hopeful my girlfriend has been in tears and this video put a stop to that thanks mate 👍

Thank you so much, I let my brother borrow mine. He connected his iPhone and the next day it broke.. so he wasn’t able to access that iPhone or his Apple ID, so when he gave my HomePod back it’s been useless to be until now

Bought some second hand that wouldn’t connect to my phone. This did the trick thanks my man!
