Hi, Not a dumb question at all. It sounds like your Mac isn't seeing the headphones for some reason. You are using the correct process. Make sure that the headphones are properly powered up, maybe turn them off, wait a few seconds, then turn them back on. If you have a sighted person around, have them confirm that the headphones actually do power on. Once they are for sure powered on, they should show up in the Bluetooth system Pref. in some cases, it takes 10 or so seconds before they show up, and in some cases, you may need to close system Prefs, then re-open them so that it re-polls looking for devices.
HTH. Later...

How do I pair it with my mac? I went into bluetooth under system prefs, and I see two devices besides my iphone. The only button after these devices is remove and if I hit the context menu on the device I only get remove, rename and show address. So what am I doing wrong?
