• How can I unlock my MacBook with my Apple Watch please?

  I downloaded Sierra, set up the validation in two steps, put a password on my watch, but still there is no checkbox allow my watch to unlock my Mac in the Security Options in the preferences on one of my Macs.  What else do I do it please?

  I have exactly the same problem... After installation, the box was there on my MBPr2014, but he said that I need to enable two-factor authentication that I had two step configured auth.

  So of course I went through the configuration 2FA effort, implemented on my iPhone, iPad and ensure delivery is set to watch with (already done for both) access code. All devices running the latest and greatest. Several boots of all devices and I am still unable to see the checkbox... It's as if it disappeared completely and the automatic login box. Went further to remove MBPr iCloud in the hope that when reconnect you it will appear that he re-tire list but nada devices...

  meh... someone knows what else, to try?

• Unlock the Mac with Apple iWatch

  I have a MacBook to 2015 and iWatch. The Mac is on MacOS Sierra and the iWatch is on version 3, so both devices are on the latest version of the software. I also have an iPhone on the latest IOS that the watch is twinned with 6. All devices are on the same iCloud account.

  I tried everything I can do the iWatch unlock the Mac. I'm getting very fed upwards with it's complicated. I spent 2 step 2-factor authentication audit and I read each thread and an article I can find, but I can't get it to work. It seems I'm not the only one. I thought that Apple was easy to work, but with each update and the new feature which is launched, it becomes more complicated.

  I spent hours trying to work and decided that he would save me more type my password every time I have unlock the mac it takes to implement this feature from time to time saving!

  In any case, after trying everything I always get the message "your Mac was unable to communicate with your Apple Watch."

  

  If anyone can help I would really appreciate. Otherwise, I will ditch the idea to get this feature to work.

  Thank you Apple lovers.

  I know that you need a Mac 2013 or later with Mac OS, a Apple Watch with watch OS 3 and two factor authentication (not two authentication step) to activate this feature, but for some reason, it does not appear in my system preferences.

• How do you communicate with the Apple Watch

  How do you communicate with the Apple Watch

  Hello!

  Welcome to the Apple community. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say "communicate" with the Apple Watch, so I'll give you a few options that can respond to your request.

  (1) the Apple Watch supports Siri, just like the iPhone and the Mac. To apply, simply say "Hey Siri" while the wrist is triggered, and your watch will respond. Alternatively, you can hold the digital Crown and Siri will be activated. As soon as Siri is activated, you can ask him questions such as "what is the weather today" or "reminder", or "Let's start a workout."

  (2) you can manually send SMS via your Apple Watch by use of Siri, or opening the messaging app. That Siri send your messages, just say 'Hey Siri, send a text < name >' and Siri will open the Messages app and wait to talk to you about your message. If you want to move the Messages app manually, press the digital Crown and will take you to the home screen. In the home screen, select the Messages app (a green icon with a word inside bubble). Any existing message log must appear, and you can type on a given message log and choose to respond.

  (3) If you want to place a phone call using your Apple Watch, you can say "Hey Siri, call < contact name >". If you have several numbers for a particular contact, Siri will ask you what number you want to call. You can also you can present a more specific request like 'Hey Siri, call < contact name >, < number >' with the number favorite is 'work' or 'House' or 'mobile' etc. So the demand go something like "Hey Siri, call Barbra, House".

  If you are still at a loss, with regard to the types of orders that Siri will accept, you can always ask. Say 'Hey Siri, what can you do?' and she will give you a list of commands that she will answer to the.

  If all goes well, I addressed your question. If not, please provide a little more information and I'll do what I can to help you.

  Good luck!

• Can you have notifications to both your iPhone and your Apple Watch?

  Can you have notifications to both your iPhone and your Apple Watch? It's a problem for me if I am away from my iPhone and my Apple Watch does not receive the notification.

  Hello

  How notifications behave depends on the State of your devices. In order to provide notifications to your attention as soon as possible:

  -If your iPhone is unlocked, you will receive notifications on your iPhone instead of on your watch.

  -If your iPhone is locked or asleep and that your watch is unlocked and on your wrist, you will receive notifications on your watch.

  -If your watch is locked or allowed to do not disturb, notifications will be sent to your iPhone.

  About notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

  You can see that if you turn off your wrist detection (on your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > General > wrist detection) it will make all notification alerts to be delivered to both devices. However, you will not then be able to benefit from features including Apple pay and one unblock after placing the watch on your wrist.

  If you want Apple to consider adding an option for notifications to be delivered for both devices regardless of the other settings, you can suggest to Apple here:

• is your Apple Watch unplug your phone at a certain distance?

  I recently bought a series of Apple Watch 1 and I was wondering if at a distance, only he disconnects your iPhone?

  In addition, who is the home button, and what are the objectives of the buttons?

  Hello

  Once they have been paired, your iPhone and Apple Watch will remain paired until they are non-matched manually. However, they can become disconnected or connected (several times), while that always paired.

  Disconnections can be normal, for example when the watch loses the Bluetooth connection with the matched iPhone and no known Wi - Fi network is available.

  Normal Bluetooth range is about 10 meters/33 feet. Actual range varies in practice due to interference with wireless (including, for example, because of the walls), but you don't need necessarily to have your iPhone on or just around you (scope of arms, for example) for devices to keep their Bluetooth connection.

  Once they have are disconnected, they should reconnect automatically after close moments being brought back.
