Hello

No, your Mac is not compatible with auto release function.

A model of mid-2013 or newer Mac is needed (using macOS Sierra):

  • Mac OS Apple Watch Sierra unlock

    Hello

    I have a Macbook Pro 15 "end in 2014, I installed Sierra tonight to try out the new"unlock"feature.

    The release mechanism works 1/10, most of the time when I open the lid, it should be like a good second and then, he invites the normal place to enter the password. It is as my macbook seeks the Apple Watch but couldn't find it and asking for a password after the attempt.

    2 authentication is enabled, checked it on my macbook in middle on and my watch has a code to access and watch OS 3.

    Is there a way to fix this? I really want to use this feature...

    Thanks in advance.

  • Apple Watch to unlock some MacBook Pro Two Step

    I have two factor turned on, connected to the same user on all devices but still get the "two-factor authentication is necessary to allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac" when I click "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac" in security and privacy preferences.

    I signed on iCloud and back in, but still no luck... Any suggestions?

    Are you sure that you are using two-factor authorization and non two-step verification?

  • Apple Watch automatic unlocking on MacOS Sierra

    I use an iMac of 2014 with MacOS Sierra, a 5 iPhone with iOS 10.0.1 and a Apple Watch with watch 3 installed OS. I also have a password on my watch, authentication both active and running as well surrender. I don't know why, but the icon to activate the unlock with the Apple Watch is not shown on my iMac.

    In addition, when you enable two-factor authentication, I've changed my iCloud password but not my unblock, I think. I'm not sure, something strange.

    Any idea?

    Thank you.

  • Apple Watch S2 handwritten function in 'Message' App is in Chinese and I can't change it!

    Just today got the Apple Watch S2. The handwritten function in the application 'Message' is in Chinese. I changed the language to English on the Apple Watch app on my iPhone 7 but nothing helped. You can see from the image below, the predefined answers are all in Chinese too.

    Hello

    To use the Freehand drawing, the language for a given conversation must be a language supported for freehand drawing.

    Currently these are English, simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.

    To change the language for a conversation, press on answer and firmly press the screen.

  • Apple Watch does not ask for password

    In recent days, I discovered something disturbing.  If I take off my Apple Watch and put back on without having to type in the code 4 digit, even after an extra charge per night, it will not ask for a password after an hour or two and works normally.  If it's supposed to happen?  I couldn't find anything in the support forums.

    I got my setup shows to use a password because I got it last December.

    Hi Suzanne

    If you use the following settings:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > detection of wrist - on.

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > password > enabled.

    -Also on screen settings of password - unlock with iPhone turned on.

    Then, after putting on your wrist, your watch will unlock after whatever you do first: unlock your watch manually (by entering the access code) or unlock your iPhone.

    Then, it will remain unlocked (including when the screen is idle) until you remove it from your wrist. When you remove your watch, it locks automatically.

    Hi, I am looking to update my HD graphics card and buy a new HD screen, I hope you guys can help (I am based in the United Kingdom)

    I see (after doing some research on this forum) that operating systems seem to be important as well anything else.

    If my installation is:

    -OS X 10.8.5 (must keep this for stability problems)

    -Current is card ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB

    -Mac model is 3.1

    You are not sure if we need more information on this stuff?

    I currently run a Sony BRAVIA and have other devices connected to it - Blu - Ray, Xbox.  It would be great to get a new monitor too and have enough connection to have all this always running as well as the mac.  I don't know if it's possible, because I don't know how the graphics cards these days above to connect to monitors.

    Help on that would be great.  I was able to get this old beast to keep improving in terms of storage and performance.  It is the missing piece of the puzzle for me.

  • Question "BOLD" of blackBerry Smartphones and synchronization with the new Media Sync for Mac

    Someone at - he had problems with the new media manager not achievements the media in the "BOLD" card, it worked for my curve but not the "BOLD" it says for me to insert the press card. I tried formatting, but still used hired there is one in there to transfer my iTunes. Any suggestions?

    I just tried sync'ing a playlist from iTunes to my "BOLD" w / Media Sync and it worked fine. I don't have a memory card either. It took two trials - the first doesn't seem to work, but the second went without a hitch. You have your "BOLD" value will automatically switch on the mass storage device when connected to your Mac - I do not know if it would make a difference.

  • Cannot create new album revel for Mac

    I got a new Mini Mac OSX 10.8.5 running.  I downloaded and installed Revel for the Mac and connected.  Everything's looking good.  However, when I try to click on 'Create a new Album', the cursor jumps down half a page on my list of album.  I can't seem to actually click on create a new Album.  I can click on my favorites above and all the albums below.  This seems to be a bug.  Any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    OK, my bad.  When I click on create a new Album, the new album is created at the bottom of the list of albums.  I don't see, because I was expecting a pop-up box to let me name.  Too bad!

  • Unlock Mac Pro with Apple Watch

    I just downloaded the new OS of Sierra and have the newest OS on my iPhone and watch.  I tried to set up to where I can unlock my Mac with my watch, but can't seem to understand. Everything I read said I should check the box that says allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac. in respect of the security and confidentiality under general. Only problem is that I can't find such a thing anywhere... Any suggestion would be great.

    You're supposed to open preferences system (on your MacBook), go to Security & Privacy and then check the box that says "allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac". And it has not worked for you?

    Is your Apple Watch under the same Apple ID as your MacBook? If not, this is why it does not work. Otherwise... I don't really know.

  • Unlock Mac with Apple Watch stopped working

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Sierra and my Apple Watch shows OS 3 - for a period of time the new feature release of my Mac with Apple Watch worked very well

    He stopped and the option no longer appears in Settings/Security and confidentiality on the Mac - I suspect its because I had to change the password on my Apple ID - I think that if I could the closing of the session of this identifier on the watch and log back on it would start working again - but I don't see a way to check out of a Apple ID on the watch or the watch app on the iPhone (7plus)

    I guess I have unfair and then re pair the watch with the phone but that seems a little drastic, so do it before, I thought that I would like to ask a question to the community in the case where someone knows a way to check out of your Apple ID on the watch I don't know - I tried searchingGoogle but cannot find anything on this topic

    This seems to be fixed by my achievement and my Apple Watch with my iPhone repair - of course I don't know if it will happen again - I suspect (and its only that) is the problem has been caused by my change the password on my Apple ID - but when I went to watch outstanding I was asked for my password Apple ID and he accepted the new password
