Connect using Apple Watch does not

I can not activate the feature that allows you to connect using the Apple Watch. When I check the box I get only a message stating that I needed to activate 2 factor authentication. But it is already enabled. Someone else also knows this problem?

Thank you

    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.

    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.

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.

  • 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!

    -Jason

    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.

      • Connected and a symbol of green phone in the upper right shows that the watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth.
      • Connected and a green cloud symbol indicates that your watch is disconnected from your iPhone via Bluetooth, but rather connected (as a backup) to a known Wi - Fi network.
      • Disconnected shows that your watch is disconnected from your iPhone and is not connected to a Wi - Fi network. The symbol in the upper right corner will be a red telephone with a line through it. The same symbol will also see the top of the watch face.
    • Slide down again to return to the watch face.

  • 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.

  • Apple Watch does not ask for password

    In recent days, I discovered something disturbing.  If I take off my Apple Watch and put back on without having to type in the code 4 digit, even after an extra charge per night, it will not ask for a password after an hour or two and works normally.  If it's supposed to happen?  I couldn't find anything in the support forums.

    I got my setup shows to use a password because I got it last December.

    Hi Suzanne

    If you use the following settings:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > detection of wrist - on.

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > password > enabled.

    -Also on screen settings of password - unlock with iPhone turned on.

    Then, after putting on your wrist, your watch will unlock after whatever you do first: unlock your watch manually (by entering the access code) or unlock your iPhone.

    Then, it will remain unlocked (including when the screen is idle) until you remove it from your wrist. When you remove your watch, it locks automatically.
