• 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?

• What is the difference between Apple Watch sport and Apple Watch?

  What is the difference between Apple Watch Sport42mm space aluminum case gray with Strip black sports and Apple Watch 42 mm space with black Sport band black steel box?

  Hi Mathias

  There is no difference in the features of the software or the specifications of internal material between the Apple Watch models (with the exception of a few faces of exclusive watch on Apple Watch Hermès).

  The only differences are the materials used - including watch boxes, tapes, and views.

  For example: Apple Watch Sport models are designed to be as light as possible, using aluminum and glass aluminosilicate for the screen. Apple Watch models use heavy stainless steel case and sapphire glass for the screen.

  Your best option may be to make an appointment to try on Apple Watch in an Apple Store, see and feel the difference.

• Perform the actions that I record with my sync to Apple Watch to health app on the iPhone

  I've always wondered to this topic, so lets say go for a walk with only my watch and without my iPhone. Once I get home I synchronize my watch with my phone, all the steps I did without my phone will be on my dashboard health app or not? If it is anyway I can do synchronize?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Hello

  Yes, steps recorded by your watch will be shared to the health app automatically after your watch has reconnected to your iPhone.

  Health and fitness data from any other source you can add over time (for example, blood pressure monitor, scales, etc.), the iPhone and Apple Watch are grouped within the health on iPhone app. Combined data is reflected in the application of health dashboard, which also adjusts the results (for example, the number of steps) to avoid any double counting of data from different sources.

• Swim with the sport of Apple Watch 38 mm

  Hello

  Nice day.

  I bought a Apple Watch 38 mm sport.

  I want to know I can wear to swim in the pool?

  Pls answer me by e-mail.

  Kind regards.

  Edmond

  Hi Edmond

  You shouldn't swim in the pool with Apple Watch.

  Your watch is splash and resistant to water, but it is not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch during the year, in the rain and all washing their hands. Overwhelming Apple Watch, however, is not recommended. The watch must also be dry if it is wet.

  Apple advises specifically, for example, the following can affect Apple Watch water resistance and should be avoided:

  • Swim or bathe with Apple Watch.
  • Overwhelming Apple Watch in water for long periods of time.
  • Exposing Apple Watch to pressurized water or water of high velocity, for example, showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing and so on.
  • Apple Watch port in the sauna or the hammam room.

  Water resistance is not a permanent state, and Apple Watch cannot be rechecked or closed for resistance to water.

• Answering calls using headphones and Apple Watch

  I just bought and Apple Watch and Power Beats headphones wireless because I want to be able to respond to calls with a tap on my watch and then have the call come through the headset. The beautiful girl in the Apple Store said that it could be done.

  I have the headset paired with the watch, but when a call comes in and I respond with the watch he's just over the watch, not the helmet speaker. I have to do something different?

  Hi Anita

  In order to use your headphones for phone calls, they must be associated with the place on your iPhone (not to your Apple Watch).

• Steps and distance of duplication of the iphone and Apple Watch

  Hi, I would like to know how to disable back into shape and the movement for enforcement of health on my iphone affects the calculations of distance and stage of Apple Watch. IM turning off this option because I found his duplication my distance and steps. My Apple Watch will cease to use my iPhone's gps location?

I do not fear the deactivation of the fitness and followed by my iphone only if my Apple Watch will receive my iphone gps information when I workout.

  Hello

  Health and fitness of the Apple Watch data, iPhone and all the other sources are grouped within the app to health on the iPhone, which allows to adjust the results to avoid any double counting of data from different sources.

  When several sources are available, the application of health uses a single data source for updating your consolidated data. This source is selected according to the order of priority that you set (or that was created automatically - for example, by default, rank devices Apple above sources third party).

• 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.

• Problem with the polar H7 and Apple Watch mating

  I'm trying to pair a polar H7 to my Apple Watch.  Bluetooth under settings, the watch detects polar device, but is not pair.  (The wheel continues to spin and it reads not 'connected').  I've disabled the watch and tried again but still the same result.  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  • Wear the polar H7 (which lights up by being broken to the strap and rotates when detached).
  • On Apple Watch, go to settings > Bluetooth.
  • Wait that Polar H7 appears, then press it.

  If the monitor has already been associated with another device (for example, your iPhone), try it unpairing from that first.
