  Hello wow321,

  Thanks for asking for help with unlocking you Macbook with your Apple Watch here in Apple Support communities. We commend you for updates latest and your devices. Also, please check the things you already checked. I will do my best help to offer things to get this working as expected.

  I have personally reviewed article for help to unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch which is here: automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch. The first thing we want to do is to check that everything is correctly configured through this step by step article once more.

  A confusing area for some people is the type of security on their Apple ID. The State of necessity who need a Apple ID to use instead of the two-step verification two factor authentication. Please check the type of security on your Apple ID using this help article that deals with two factor authentication: authentication two factor for Apple IDand this second article of help dealing with two-step verification: frequently asked questions about two steps checking of Apple ID.

  If any snippet and you still have questions, I recommend you make a backup of all your data on your iPhone to make sure that everything is safe. You can perform a backup to iCloud or iTunes. Use this article to help with this: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

  Then, try to turn the iPhone, with the Apple Watch is paired both devices Mac, power off and on. Sometimes, that's all that is needed for connections reset and everything working properly again.

  If you're still having problems, please cancel the twinning of your Apple Watch from your iPhone by following the steps described here: pairing your Apple Watch and iPhone. Reset the network settings on your iPhone under settings > general > reset > reset network settings. This will remove not your personal information (contacts, photos, calendar of events, etc.), but it will remove networks WiFi recorded and passwords, as well as all the APN or previously used VPN settings and Bluetooth devices connected. After the reset of the iPhone, pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone again and check if the Apple Watch can then unlock your Mac.

  Thanks again for asking for help with this here in Apple Support communities. Have a great rest of your day.

  I just bought a used MacBook Air and wanted to restore the factory settings. I followed the instructions. OptionandPower > remove HD and then reinstall asked for apple ID and password that OS X was bought him, not my I.D. How can I reinstall?

• 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.

  There are several things to consider:

  It is a five year old computer, problems are bound to happen sooner or later, so get ready to tha.

  First of all, you need to maybe bad RAM. Agents of the launch system, System launch Daemon and your virtual memory information imply that something is eating all of your ram. 4 GB is not much, but it should be more than enough unless it no longer works properly.

  My second comment would be the hard drive. Generally, a rotating disc is not a long life in a laptop, being pushed around when the laptop is turned on and was moving. It is possible that you have bad blocks.

  Thirdly, it could be your battery. Plain and simple, a dying battery.

  The best option at this point would be to make an appointment at the Apple Store and run an MRI (Mac resource Inspection) to detect what can go wrong.

• Problem loading Apple Watch sport

  Hello everyone

  Since last week (after update watch OS) do not charge my Apple Watch sport

  more than a minute...

  After a minute, I get an error message saying that 'charge with. "

  This accessory is not supported"even I use the original White

  Magnetic charger and I've never had such an error before.

  I tried to disable the twinning and restart the watch it dosent help

  any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Try charging your watch once again. In doing so, check that:

  • All the plastic film was removed from both ends and both sides of the cable support (consult closely on the head of the charger).

  

  • On the back of your watch and the head of the charge cable are clean and dry (clean with an abrasive, lint cloth).
  • The head of the load is properly aligned with the back of the watch, with the concave side / curve touch fully:
    • Some docks of watch, brackets, cases or protectors might hinder it. If you use one of these accessories, try to load the watch by plugging it directly into the charging cable, without using the.
  • If possible, test using a different Apple genuine magnetic Charging Cable (for example, by borrowing one from a friend).
  • If you reload your watch by plugging the cable into the socket:
    • Check that the magnetic charge cable Apple USB connector is fully engaged in the USB power adapter.
    • Check that the USB power adapter is fully committed in the socket.
    • Try to use different maps of the following:
      • Adapter USB Apple that was provided with the watch, or;
      • A 5W Apple (iPhone) or 12W (iPad) USB power adapter, or;
      • A third-party certified 5W (MFi) Apple USB power adapter.
    • Try using a different take (one that is known to work properly).
  • If no other suitable adapters are available, try to load by plugging the cable into a USB port.
    • If loading via a USB port on a computer, make sure that you use a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, the computer remains turned on and awake, and the cable is plugged directly into the computer (not on, for example, an external keyboard).

  If you identify a problem with a particular component (adapter, cable, or watch) or the question otherwise persists, contact Apple support (mail service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation to have your products verified and, if recommended by Apple, served (either under warranty or through a service fee and out-of-warranty):

• Apple Watch after upgrade to watch OS 3 - flashing screen after update

  Apple Watch 42 mm

  I recently like millions out there I've updated my Apple Watch to watch OS 3. Today noon 15/09/2016, I noticed that when I raised my hand/wrist to wake up screen Apple Watch it flickered once. I did this action several times to confirm that I clearly understand what was going on. I started to solve the problem, powered off/on power the Apple Watch. Issue continues. I did a reset on the Apple Watch hold the button of the Crown and the power at the same time until the powers of the device and restart. This action eliminates the problem. Apple Watch works as expected, screen flicker stopped when hand/wrist is triggered and screen Apple Watch wakes up to the top. Unfortunately, after some time between 2 and 3 hours of new screen flickering starts. I did some digging online but have not encountered this problem. I realize that the watch OS 3 has only been published days before so I wasn't expecting to fall on part.

  My question: is this a known problem that will be patched with an upcoming release or I'm the first to report this problem? Any information would be much appreciate.

  It is too early to know if it would be regarded as a known issue. This is not the case on my Apple Watch after the update.

  See if a matching and re pairing your watch makes a difference.

• Slow Internet - mid-2010 MacBook Pro w / El Capitan

  So I have a MacBook Pro 15 mid-2010 "running OS X El Capitan." A week ago my internet started running very slowly, until the point where it's impacting on my ability to get the work done. The speed seems to be the same if I'm at work or at home and if I connect via WIFI or connect directly to the router.

  I was reviewed in the nets of support without success. I have reset the PRAM and the SMC which seems to help briefly, but then the internet speed slowed considerably again in 30 minutes approximately.

  In addition, do not know if it of related or not, but I opened the Terminal today to try a solution suggested and noticed that my root directory is: ' melissas-iphone: ~ scottnewman$ ". I have absolutely no idea how melissas-iphone bears on my MacBook, and nobody in my family or connected to my Apple ID named melissa.

  The help of this community would be much appreciated!

  Hello scnewman!

  I would definitely internet speeds when I'm on my Mac to act normally, too.  It makes it that much better.  Two resets are good to try.  If you haven't done so already, you can run the Apple Hardware Test from the MacBook Pro to rule out other problems: using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

  After this, you can create a new user to check if it's a large system or a specific user: How to test one question in another account on your Mac - Apple Support

  Then goes into safe mode, too: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple Support
