  Hello

  I'm running a MacBook Air mid-2013 with macOS Sierra, with a 2nd Gen Apple Watch watchOS3 running. I'm on the same Apple for my Air ID, see and iPhone (6 s).

  But unlock with Apple Watch does not work on my Air. I activated 2 factor authentication. I checked the box that allows to unlock with Apple Watch. Everything seems to be kosher.

  When I close and reopen my Air, "Unlock with Apple Watch" appears for about 10 seconds, and then I type my password.

  Help? Thank you!

  I also have this problem. I have 2 accounts on my Macbook. One is the first account that I don't use, second my regular account. On my Second account, it of the same problem, but with the Admin account... It works.

  I Don t know why.

  Do you use also two accounts?

• 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.

• 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?

• 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.

  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.

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

  Have a good night!

• 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

  Sahit Anand

  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?

• Apple pays on Apple Watch does not

  Hello world!

  I'm a big fan of Apple pay, I use it anywhere that accepts it.

  A feature, I can't wait to try it immediately when I got my Apple Watch (24 hours ago only) was paying Apple.

  In the first hour of me set up my watch, I went to McDonald's to get a Coke (it's the closet place who agrees to pay Apple), so I could test Apple pay.

  When I put my watch next to the drive, nothing happened. The screen remained black all the time. To complete the transaction, I pulled out my phone and also, which didn't work. I used pay Apple on my iPhone, several times the same McDonald's before and it's always worked flawlessly.

  A few hours later, I had went to Best Buy to buy wireless headphones and once more tried to use Apple pay on my watch for the purchase. But unfortunately, nothing happened here either. The watch remained black all the time.

  While I was trying to make it work, I noticed my iPhone wake up (he was placed flat on the counter) and displays the message - "Hold iPhone close reader" (I forgot the "exact" wording). When I gave up on the Apple Watch, I took my phone to purchase and it worked perfectly.

  Now, whenever I have install my credit card on the iPhone, I have to check (via a SMS of BofA code). When I looked at the settings in the Apple Watch app on my iPhone - I saw my already credit card. I clicked on the button 'Add' next to her, that I then invited to add security code 3 digit number to check. Once I did, my credit card was placed under the header indicating that it is an active card on the watch. And a few seconds, I had received a notification on the watch let me know it was ready for use.

  I guess it is setup correctly, which miss me so much? Are there any ideas as to why my Apple Watch does nothing?

  Sorry to ramble on and on. I wanted to give you all the details in the hope that maybe someone can point me in the right direction to solve this issue.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hi Jason

  In order to pay using Apple pay on your watch, you must first quickly double - press the side button.

  It will then display your default map. If you have added other cards and you want to use one of them instead, swipe to switch between maps. With your favorite card displayed, hold your watch up to the Terminal:

  -The dial of the watch must be faced with and parallel to the screen of the own terminal (you shouldn't be able to see the face of the watch and pay), aligned in the Center with the logo without contact on the terminal screen and held less than 10cm.

  -It must be blocked in this position for up to a few seconds, until you hear the confirmation beep and the pulse haptic.

• Text messages with Siri on Apple Watch does not

  When I try to send a text using Siri on my Apple Watch it does not send. the only option I have is to not send. I read where the message is sent automatically when my arm is lowered, but it does not work. None of my posts are going through. How can I fix this.

  To send messages through Siri:

  -Ask Siri to send a message (for example "Hey Siri, send a message to say ");

  -When finished, wait for Siri show what you have dictated on the screen for you to review;

  -Then either lower your wrist again to send or to tell Siri to send (for example "Hey Siri, send").

  -There is no need to touch the screen, unless you want to type on not sending to cancel the operation.
