• Auto unlock with Apple Watch does not

  Hello

  I followed all the instructions and advice of all Web sites without success, my watch is on my wrist, unlocked and the Mac cannot communicate with the watch, or when he's on the odd occasion that the watch is not open the Mac, I still have my password.  I have not matched and repaired the watch, and the new registered in iCloud, transfer off and on again, the watch, the 6s iPhone and watch are all connected to the same network still with no luck.  This should be an ongoing and easy process as most of the functions of apple, but it just doesn't work and it is the function that I was more enthusiastic in this upgrade of the software, feels a bit like false advertising if it's this hard to operate.  Can apple be solve this problem or can help a tech guru

  If the problem is that when you check the box "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac" in security pref pane it breaks down and said that one cannot communicate with your watch?

  You have Bluetooth and Wi - Fi enabled?  If so, try to restart your Mac, iPhone and look, and check the box again.  Also sometimes if you just wait a few hours and try to check the new it will finally work.

• Auto unlock with Apple Watch

  Dear support team Apple,

  I have problem with MacOS Sierra feature "Auto Unlock with Apple Watch". I upgraded my MacBook Pro 2015 until the latest Version of the OS and Apple Watch until the OS 3.

  I followed the instructions automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

  As a result:

  1. two factor authentication enabled on iCloud account;

  2. pass code activated on Apple Watch;

  3. I use iCloud even on Mac and on the watch.

  But the option is not in the system preferences. Attached printscreen.

  I have exactly the same problem. I checked that I have two factor, not two steps of authentication. I have a the same devices, 6 2015 s of MacBook Pro, Apple Watch and iPhone more. The option does not appear for me either.

  Hi abcd_bruce,

  Thanks for stopping by Apple Support communities. I understand that you are eager to implement the feature Auto Unlock on your MacBook Pro. It is a new system and I'll be happy to help you with this.

  Looks like you did a few steps already to help lift this step. In this article, automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch, he goes over all the steps that must be done to implement this place. If you already followed all these steps and are still problems, then the next step would be to start the Mac in safemode, and then check if you are able to see the Apple Watch see the implementation of the security and privacy preferences.

• 2SV v. 2FA for Auto unlock with Apple Watch

  Try to set up the auto unlock with Apple Watch on my MacBook Air (fall 2013) after the installation of Sierra. Get this message:

  

  Off the 2SV using applied.apple.com

  

  ... and still get the same message "2FA is required" box "Security & Privacy".

  What I am doing wrong?

  P.S., rescue email Apple ID has not yet been verified, because it belongs to my sister who lives in a very different time zone, but I don't see how this should matter for the automatic implementation of release.

  The message is mainly to tell you that you must enable two-factor authentication, is not that you should disable 2SV. You will need to disable 2SV before you can activate 2FA.

  You should always activate 2FA it to AppleID.apple.com

  I don't know why you don't see the option to activate 2FA here on the Security section. You have a device running El Capitan or later, or a device running iOS 9 or a later version in your list of devices?

  For Apple ID - Apple Support two-factor authentication

  Hey there Scotchman2926,

  I understand that you are experiencing some problems with Apple music on Sierra. I have a few suggestions to help you solve this problem. First of all, if you are unable to access the iTunes Store as well as music from Apple, use the information in this article to help resolve this problem:
  

  If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support

  If this does not resolve the problem, you might try signing out of your Apple ID in iTunes and then connect again.

  Thanks to be come to the communities of Apple Support and let us know how it goes.

  See you soon.

• Impossible to activate auto unlock with Apple Watch.

  Hello

  I can't seem to activate auto unlock with my Apple Watch on my MBA mid-2013. I turned and on two-factor auth. I also signed out and to iCloud on all devices. Restart all devices. I always get the message to turn off two factors in order to operate. Puzzled seriously here. I'm also in the United States, a region that is supported by two factors.

  If anyone has had a similar problem or found a solution, I would like to know.

  I always get the message to turn off two factors in order to operate.

  Just to be sure--is the message really say "turn off the two factors...". ' or 'disable authentication in two steps?  It will not work with older two-step authentication.

  And your apple-Watch has been upgraded to monitor OS 3?

• Turn on auto cannot unlock with Apple Watch

  Hi guys,.

  I need help here.  I'm on macOS Sierra on a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013).  I actually had auto unlock with my Apple Watch two days ago.  But then I did a stupid thing yesterday and had to restore the MacBook OSX Maverick and re-upgrade to Sierra.  I can't activate longer auto unlock with Apple Watch now and it's really frustrating.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Don't feel alone, there are a lot of problems. Very inconsistent behavior.

  my Apple Watch does not record the data of my activity on my iPhone. The application of the activity is implemented on my watch and twinned with phone and not yet to record data.

  HI - try the following steps:

  On your iPhone close application of activity and also, if it runs in the background, the health app (you can close open apps, including the app shows):

  -Double-click the Home button, and then drag upward on each of the app previews to close.

  It can help to restart your iPhone and your watch. Turn on both devices off the power together first, and then restart your iPhone before restarting your watch:

  -To switch off your watch: press and hold the button side until you see the cursor off the power; slide it to turn off;

  -To switch on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.

  If this does not resolve the problem, try next disconnect and rematching of your watch:

  -L'app shows on your iPhone shows backups automatically, including a new when the unpairing via the application.

  -Choose to restore the watch (backup restore) when provided the opportunity during the whole.

  -Most of the data and settings will be restored, with a few exceptions (for example cards Pay Apple, access code).

  - Pairing your Apple Watch and Support Apple - iPhone

  - Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

  Hello

  It is not possible to disable Apple Watch when its on the charger and connected to the power supply - this is normal.

• I still have to type my password after I enabled unlocking with Apple Watch.

  Well, I did everything correctly. Or at least I think. But for some reason, my mac still asks me a password to unlock. As I opened the cover, I get the message "Unlock with Apple Watch". But he invites me just after my password.

  Did someone else faced with something similar or is that what I'm doing wrong?

  Thank you

  I have the same question.

  I filled all the criteria and even turned off the FileVault nothing helps. The MacBook Pro (with OS Sierra end 2013) seems to want to "" be unlocked, but the watch (1st generation with OS 3) shows absolutely no sign of communication with the Mac. All devices are on the same wifi and Bluetooth is turned on.

  I give up!

• Automatic unlocking with Apple Watch active but expire

  I've activated automatic unlocking on my Mac (Macbook Air 6.1) successfully, I had my first gen Apple Watch upgraded to watch OS 3 and when I opened my Macbook, it says «Unlock with Apple Watch...» ». After a few seconds, however, I get a spinny wheel thought and then it expires and I get the password prompt. I tried to restart my Mac and my watch, but don't know what else to do here?

  As far as I know I have everything set up properly - 2-factor authentication, the right operating system, the hardware supports, but it just times out. Anyone have any idea why this could be or a potential solution?
