Cannot lock the MacBook Pro with Apple Watch

I do not see in Preferences-> Security & privacy-> system "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac."

The screen is just as it was before the Sierra.

MacBook Air 13 "early 2015 - Sierra 10.12/Apple Watch - WatchOS3

See you soon!

I, too, am unable to lock my MacBook Pro with my Apple Watch. However I don't see the checkbox "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac.". I checked it but I can not unlock my Mac with my Apple Watch.

  • 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.

  • Cannot add the debit card to Apple Watch

    I discovered lately that my Apple Watch does not have to pay for Apple.  I deleted the card from my iPhone 6 and added with no problems, but when I try to add the same card to my Apple Watch, it fails with the error pop up not added card - Contact your issuer of the card for more information. Add card later or try again.  I'm with Lloyd's bank, to the United Kingdom and do not understand why it seems to work on the iPhone but not the watch.

  • Problems loading the macbook pro with magsafe 45w 2?

    I have a macbook pro 15 "with AMD Radeon R9 M370X that starts only when the magsafe is plugged in 2. In my work is clogged al magsafe 85w 2 for best performance time, but when I'm Home I have a charger for a macbook air (magsafe 45w 2 is, according to me)

    Is all that I should be aware to use a smaller battery charger, either for the map graphic, or is just the slower battery charges and everything works well?

    15 "need to 85W charger models. Using the most small charger will begin its overload and possibly fail prematurely, as well as the big Mac is deprived of power and discharge the battery, because there will be enough juice. Don't be a cheapskate and buy a charger suitable for this if you do not want to wear a topic.

  • Cannot use the MacBook Pro screen correctly in the unit

    I have been using Fusion for a few weeks and very happy with it.

    I've just developed a strange problem. I have a Setup dual monitor which was working fine but I can persuade is no longer Windows software to use the second screen (using a dredge or by revealing to show Powerpoint slide shows on the second screen) and I can't the software windows can only use about 3/4 of the MacBook screen. My Mac software works correctly on both screens. Windows Control Panel is pleased that there is two screens configured correctly.

    Any ideas as to what I could have done?

    I have attached a screenshot showing my primary screen screen problem.

    Thank you very much

    It seems that the tools do not work correctly. Access the one-stop unique mode, uninstall tools, restart Windows as needed and install the tools.

  • MacBook Pro with screen Retina or normal MacBook Pro?

    HI, I want to buy a MacBook Pro, but I don't know what we should I buy, the retina or normal? I look at the series and videos from YouTube and I want to edit videos and my pictures if I buy one, so I thought that the retina it would be better for me, but it is too expensive. I want it with 512 ir 500g and but the MacBook Pro with retinal display costs $700 more. Also, I watched some YouTube videos that compared the MacBook Pro with Retina display vs the regular MacBook Pro. And the MacBook pro with the Retina display is faster. is there too much difference between the normal pro and the macbook with the Retina display? And there too much difference on the screen?

    If you have a normal MacBook Pro or a MacBook Pro with retina Display, please tell me your experience with it. Also tell me what I should buy.

    Thank you

    Your best option is to go to a store (Apple or reseller) and compare screens side by side.  Only then can you make an informed decision.

    The main differences between the two models is that the retina has no DVD player and cannot have put RAM at day after purchase and the PCIe SSD updated at great expense (which will also void any warranty).

    The non-retine can have the RAM has increased to a maximum 16 GB at a later date and may have installed later hard/SSD drives of up to 2 TB of capacity.

    Ciao.

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • Connect the MacBook Pro as external drive

    Hello

    I recently bought an iMac 27 "(rétine 5K, 27 pouces, fin 2015)." I have also a 15 "MacBook Pro (early 2011).

    I understand that this iMac does not support the target Display Mode, but is there a way where I could plug in my MacBook Pro via a Thunderbolt cable and work out of files remotely from there? I know that I can connect to my MacBook as a server, but I do not think that it allows enough speed to transfer between the two. Ideally, it would be as if I hooked my MBP, as if it were a USB key.

    Thank you!

    Connecting them, then reboot the MacBook Pro with the T key pressed.

  • You can improve the macbook pro 15 inch 2015 logic board

    I am the proud owner of a macbook pro mid 2015, 15-inch retina display 2.2 Ghz i7 (integrated graphics).

    I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade dedicated to one with the graphics card logic board or is there a compatibility issue?

    I know that the macbook pro with dedicated graphics card is the same size and all that one that I have so I was wondering if the logic boards are the same size.

    I hope this isn't a stupid question.

    I'm sorry. After the purchase, upgrade of the internal components is not possible.

    If you wish, you can sell the Mac you have and buy another Mac with the specifications you want.
