  • Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac - box missing

    Hello

    Yes, all my devices running the latest OS - watchOS 3, iOS10, macOS Sierra (iPhone 7, iPad mini 4, MacBook Pro 12.1, Apple Watch) all signed the same iCloud, 2 authentication account activated - so everything according to the instructions.

    Interestingly, the box was causing it (under privacy and security on the Mac), it was when I had still activated authentication step 2, but once I disabled that & activated authentication factor 2 - the box disappeared and never came back.

    Yes, I disconnected icloud on Mac, & into the new.

    Off hand is also activated.

    I spent all morning on this, it is now, I want lessee a string of expletives.

    Can someone help me get this box?

    Thank you

    Jason

    I also had this problem. He was there at the beginning, and when I checked it, it gave me the error alert that I need to change 2 factor authentication. I did and then the box disappeared. I rebooted each device, etc... What worked was signing off iCloud desktop and then signing right back. Always a little nervous racking when you remove your contacts and calendars. But just make sure that you are supported, etc.

  • Former apple email stuck on Mac

    A few years ago, I changed my email address. I had used the old email to my ID on all my devices apple. My mac has been associated with the old ID. When I changed my email all other devices just had me sign. The mac wants to connect in old enamel, which is not an account, and I don't have the password. The only way I found that you can change the ID is by logging in with the old, that I cannot connect because I do not have the password and can not recover because the account does not exist. No idea how I can fix this so that I can pass the ID and the message stop popping up every two seconds?

    To connect to what precisely?

    There are many places on the Mac where the Apple ID is used.

  • Question about the music library to iCloud (music Apple) and iTunes on mac

    Download I m just of my iTunes in the music library of iCloud library. Since I was afraid that my library of 40000 + titles could get corrupted or metadata could be changed by apple, I downloaded the files from a 'second' machine (macbook) - just to be on the safe side and keep my iTunes library local main on my iMac intact by iCloud (for the moment).

    Now everything seems fine with iCloud music library, but after all the titles/songs are in iCloud now, what happens if I disable the library iCloud music on the 'second' machine and Activate the library iCloud music on my main machine (iMac), which has the same local as my second machine iTunes library? (= the same local iTunes library, which has been already downloaded?)

    ICloud/iTunes will recognize that all songs/files are already uploaded to the music library iCloud and doe 'nothing', or download will process all over again and will lead to 'double' all the files/songs in iCloud?

    The same question arises if we restore iTunes library local on a mac from a backup + switches on iCloud music library a second time... will be iTunes + icloud music library download all the files again or not?

    Unless something is wrong, it should recognize and not duplicate.

  • Can I use an Apple TV on a Mac mini/TBD instead of a TV?

    I bought the 4th generation Apple TV yesterday. I don't have a TV, so I use streaming on my Macbook Pro (early 2013) or Mac mini (end of 2014), often using AirPlay. I read somewhere that any Mac with the HDMI connector will be able to connect to the Apple TV. However, when I haven't tried to put in place last night on my Mac nothing happened - no screen set. Then I created mountain BIKING with my projector and it worked fine, so I used it for a few hours.

    My mac mini is connected to my Thunderbolt display. My plan was to have next to the mini ATV, connected via HDMI and we hope to activate and use the ATV through the TBD. Is there a reason why wouldn't this configuration? Or I have to change any input or output parameters?

    HDMI ports are not multi directional.  There are inputs and outputs, nothing which does both.  HDMI ports on computers came out.  On the ATV HDMI port is out.  Ports HDMI TV came.  Projectors have entered HDMI.  As the birds and the bees, inputs connect with outputs.

    I appeciate wanting to use your Thunderbolt display, but unless you can find an HDMI input or an adapter for HDMI output in thunderbolt (not the reverse adapter which are common), you're out of luck.  You would need to connect directly to the screen.

  • How can I access to my apple for facetime on MAC ID?

    "I just downloaded OS X El Capitan, and as soon as my laptop turned on again, a message came asking if I would allow" facetime: [my apple ID] "join the keychain" or something of the sort. Now, of course, I wasn't sure of what that was, so I tried to press the little question mark, but for some reason he said there is no information available at the time, so I denied access.

    I didn't know that now, when I'm signing in Facetime, it takes to always connect; How can I give my apple ID Keychain Access to be able to connect to Facetime on my mac? It's a macbook pro, if that makes a difference, but I don't see much.

    Thank you!

    Hello! OK, so I bought an ALL NEW 15 inch MacBook Pro earlier this afternoon. Brought it home, was so excited to start implementation. at start-up, my Apple ID would not even PASS THROUGH. Just after filming on and outside several times, I decided to go through the installation process without connect to my iCloud account. I decided that I would do it later. I signed up with success, through my system preferences. Once which was put in place, I went to to connect to facetime and messages. Nor would allow me to log in. Long story short - I spent 8 hours on the phone with Apple Care. 5 different representatives, 1 being the leaders of the headquarters... He wanted me to completely reinstall my hard drive. WITH MY NEW COMPUTER. I said no and took my computer just back to the Apple Store. The answer I received from workers on the Apple Store, it's that there is an error with FaceTime and the Message with the new software which has just been launched earlier by 15:00 today, all the apps. I think even this includes iTunes because my computer still won't let me log into that. They said it should be fixed within 24 hours. I hope this helps.

    Applications that request the password for the old ID when they try to put up-to-date are related to this Apple ID because they were purchased with this Apple ID. You will need to continue to provide the password for this Apple ID old update these applications, or you will need to remove these applications and redeem them or re - download if they were free under your current Apple ID

  • Access MY music via iCloud/Apple music on my Mac

    I recently joined Apple music in part because I'm tired of using an external hard drive. I have all my music uploaded to the iCloud and it works very well on my phone. However, I can't seem to access my music on my computer (a Macbook Air if it matters) when the hard drive is not connected. Is it possible to access them through the cloud (assuming I have WiFi)?

  • Apple Watch unlock Mac Setup Frustration

    I own a first generation of Apple Watch and an end 2013 13 "MacBook Pro and last mac mini (i5). I went through the entire setup process to have my watch unlock my MacBook several times. (All along the) When I get to choose the button "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac", it runs for awhile and then I get the "unable to contact Apple Watch" fast. It seems to be my watch because if I try and let the Apple Watch locked, she'll tell me to unlock, and then try again. Happens on MacBook Pro and mac mini in the same way.

    I tried to research on this problem and we tried all authentication reset to two factors for an agreement again all settings and turn it on again.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    Hello pgirardi,

    I appreciate that you try to unlock your two computers using your Apple Watch with watch OS 3.  The resources below provide the steps and requirements to do this.  I would just try it with a single computer until you have a job before trying the second computer.

    Automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch

    The first time you open a session after you turn on or restart your Mac, connect by entering your password manually. After that, Apple Watch connects to you.

    Set up automatic unlock

    Make sure your Apple Watch uses watch OS 3, and your Mac to mid-2013 or newer model uses macOS Sierra.
    For more information, see system requirements of continuity.

    Automatic unlocking

    Automatic unlock works with these devices and operating systems:

    watchOS 3 macOS Sierra
    • Apple Watch (1st generation)
    • Apple Watch series 1
    • Apple Watch series 2

    • MacBook (early 2015 or newer)
    • MacBook Pro (late 2013 or newer)
    • MacBook Air (mid-2013 or newer)
    • Mac mini (late 2014 or newer)
    • iMac (late 2013 or newer)
    • Mac Pro (end of 2013 or later)

    Make sure your Apple ID to use instead of the two-step verification two factor authentication. Learn more.

    Make sure that your devices are configured as follows:

    • Your Mac has Bluetooth and Wi - Fi enabled.
    • Your Mac and Apple Watch are connected to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
      On your Mac, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, and then click iCloud.
      On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then go to general > Apple ID.
    • Your Apple Watch uses a password.
      On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then type the access code.
    • Your Mac has "allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac" selected in Security & Privacy preferences.
      Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click on Privacy & Security, then select the general tab.

    pgirardi, if you are unable to unlock your main computer after trying these steps, then you will need to cancel the match your iPhone and Apple Watch and try again.

    Cancel the match your iPhone and Apple Watch

    Take care.

  • Unlock the Mac with Apple iWatch

    I have a MacBook to 2015 and iWatch. The Mac is on MacOS Sierra and the iWatch is on version 3, so both devices are on the latest version of the software. I also have an iPhone on the latest IOS that the watch is twinned with 6. All devices are on the same iCloud account.

    I tried everything I can do the iWatch unlock the Mac. I'm getting very fed upwards with it's complicated. I spent 2 step 2-factor authentication audit and I read each thread and an article I can find, but I can't get it to work. It seems I'm not the only one. I thought that Apple was easy to work, but with each update and the new feature which is launched, it becomes more complicated.

    I spent hours trying to work and decided that he would save me more type my password every time I have unlock the mac it takes to implement this feature from time to time saving!

    In any case, after trying everything I always get the message "your Mac was unable to communicate with your Apple Watch."

    If anyone can help I would really appreciate. Otherwise, I will ditch the idea to get this feature to work.

    Thank you Apple lovers.
