My Apple Watch think I'm someone else

My phone has my contact me, and yet my Apple Watch call me by name/contact my son. How can I fix it?  If I ask my watch to bring back me home for example, it gives me directions to his house. Is there a setting on the watch or the app on the phone watch?

What AppleID is the watch.app on your iPhone showing in "General"?  Is this your AppleID or your son?

  • Someone else has Apple Airplay jumping and drop outs when streaming music?  WiFi is not the problem, and there is nothing around the units of airtime to interference.  Impossible to listen to music.  Thanks for any advice.

    I've recently updated several broadcasts in my house from V1 to V2 in the hope of resolving a constant jumping and abandonment problem I always had when playing music with Airplay.  I have a unit of airtime plugged directly on my stereo receiver that feeds music throughout my house.  My WiFi connection is not the problem and there is nothing to cause interference.  Airplay modules are not more than 15 feet distance modem or range Extenders.  Someone else has this problem and, hopefully, a solution?   I'm tired of doing factory reset all the time.  Many thanks for any advice.

    I've recently updated several broadcasts in my house from V1 to V2 in the hope of resolving a constant jumping and abandonment problem I always had when playing music with Airplay.

    By "Airplays" what are you actually refers to... Base station airPort Express, Apple TV, or something else?

    ... and "V1 to V2" do you mean you replaced a 1st generation 802.11n AirPort Express with a 2nd generation?

    Airplay modules are not more than 15 feet distance modem or range Extenders.

    When steaming audio with AirPlay, the flow goes first to the device host to iTunes to the router Wi - Fi, this unit is connected to. From there, he will travel to the AirPlay "speaker". A president could be an AirPort Express, Apple TV or an AirPlay device ready another manufacturer. If you use line extensions, the flow must go through those as well... so there is potential bottlenecks between the host and the speaker. One of these could be the cause of the issue you found.

  • I intend to buy a Apple Watch in the United States, but I have a European iPhone 6 Plus. Anyone know if I have a problem with syncing my iPhone (EU) and the Apple Watch (US)? I think not, but any ideas?

    I intend to buy a Apple Watch, United States of America, but I own a European iPhone 6 Plus device. Anyone know if I have a problem with the sync between devices? I don't think, but it would be more useful to have a definite answer for this as my assumption...

    Hi John

    The devices normally work together.

    There is no difference in the hardware specifications for the watch. It can be configured to use your preferred language and format of the region.

    Adapter USB power to the watch will be located in the United States. To charge your watch via food in Europe, you can use the magnetic charge cable supplied together with a real 5W Apple (iPhone) or 12W (iPad) adapter USB power (or with a third party, Apple certified adapter).

  • 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!

  • Arm movement is recognized as steps in the application of the activity on the Apple Watch?

    Happy new year to you all

    I am the happy owner of a Apple Watch OS2.1 running, but I think that the watch records the movement of the arm as the steps in the
    Fitness app?

    Today I was at my desk and moved no more than a few times get coffee (10 steps), the application of the activity
    the clock tells me that I moved 1 659 equal to 1.47 KM steps and I have
    a hard time to see this may be correct (work of my office at home, so basically
    went to my room to my office (max 50 markets)

    I calibrated the watch with 2 x 20 min outside walks with my phone with me and correct installation
    the data GPS on my phone, but the problem is the same, someone else has the same type of questions?

    Look forward to the thoughts of entry or comments, you may have.

    Hello

    Happy new year!

    In addition to the calibration of your watch, it is also important - for more accurate estimates of activity - to ensure that your personal information is correct. To verify that it was entered correctly and update over time:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > health > edit (top-right).

    However, it is possible that the numbers you quoted are correct. Even with a relatively sedentary lifestyle, regular movement around the House or at work can soon add up.

    To check the data behind the totals:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of health (not the application of the activity), go to: health Dats (tab) > Fitness > steps.

    -The graph shows your steps per day, week or month (use the tabs at the top to change that).

    -Press show all data to view data for each day.

    -Tap on a day to see each data point, along with the data source (for example, iPhone, Apple Watch).

    When you present data in the dashboard, where data for any particular measure were available from several sources at the same time, the only health of them, app chooses automatically in order to avoid double counting.

  • Unlock Mac with Apple Watch stopped working

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Sierra and my Apple Watch shows OS 3 - for a period of time the new feature release of my Mac with Apple Watch worked very well

    He stopped and the option no longer appears in Settings/Security and confidentiality on the Mac - I suspect its because I had to change the password on my Apple ID - I think that if I could the closing of the session of this identifier on the watch and log back on it would start working again - but I don't see a way to check out of a Apple ID on the watch or the watch app on the iPhone (7plus)

    I guess I have unfair and then re pair the watch with the phone but that seems a little drastic, so do it before, I thought that I would like to ask a question to the community in the case where someone knows a way to check out of your Apple ID on the watch I don't know - I tried searchingGoogle but cannot find anything on this topic

    This seems to be fixed by my achievement and my Apple Watch with my iPhone repair - of course I don't know if it will happen again - I suspect (and its only that) is the problem has been caused by my change the password on my Apple ID - but when I went to watch outstanding I was asked for my password Apple ID and he accepted the new password

  • Apple Watch does not work

    So do not know how this will go down, but I think of my Apple Watch was the biggest waste of money so far, very disappointed.

    1. it just doesn't work very well, everything works slowly and measures are very imprecise.

    2. the quality is not great, that I am not wearing it will train in as possible just broke

    3. the battery is shocking that I'm sick of charging

    4. went the last updated and it has now crashed and locked up, keep trying to restart, but it keeps failing

    5. perhaps one should leave apple the money and they can keep the watch its terribly bad.

    6 apple thanks to the release of the new version of the watch so little time, if happy I bought the demo version I have waste. Maybe I should of applied for a job your PSU on the watch and you pay you for the privilege a cup of what I've been they saw me coming.

    7. can I someone please difficulty this watch, replace it before that I throw it in the trash.

    So disappointed in apple and this product just re apply my decision to consider away them from the brand.

    If it is a recent purchase and you are unhappy with it, you have 14 days to return it. You also have a 1 year warranty and can wear the device at the Genius Bar and get help with the device. That, or you can try the Troubleshooting device, but given your attitude in your rant and you only ask if anyone can fix it, I don't know that you would like help from other users. It's not Apple you talk to, this is a user to user support forum.

    We have 3 Apple watches in our family, a Sport and 2 watches from Apple, and all three work extremely well and achieve or exceed our expectations.

  • Apple Watch scratched screen

    I got my Apple Watch since Christmas and I love it.  Recently, I noticed a scratch on the screen.  Not sure how it happened.  It does not interfere with something else and shows only when light hits a certain way, but it's boring.  I kept thinking this is a task, but when it doesn't come off, I saw that it was a scratch.  I have a first generation 38mm sports watch rose gold.  Is there a way to replace the screen?
