  Hello

  It can help restore your sync data:

  • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go: Watch My (tab) > general > reset > tap reset sync data.
    • Nothing seems to happen when you tap it, but the process will be executed in the background, invisible to you, so allow a few moments it ends.

  If you have not already done so, you can also activate iCloud Contacts:

  • On your iPhone, go to: settings > iCloud - turn on the Contacts.

• The Milanese loop can be worn all by playing of the drum and operation etc. of hiking? (I'm a drummer) and I can wear Apple Watch in the shower?

  See this document: water on Apple Watch - Apple Support resistance

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT205000

  No shower while wearing the Watch:

  Your Apple Watch is splash and water resistant, but not waterproof.

  ....

  and

  The following can affect your Apple Watch water resistance and should be avoided:

  • Do drop your Apple Watch or submit to other impacts.
  • Submerge your Apple Watch in water for long periods of time.
  • Swim or bathe with your Apple Watch.
  • Expose your Apple Watch pressurized water or water of high velocity, for example, take a shower, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing and so on.
  • Wear your Apple Watch in a sauna or Hammam room.

  I'm not sure of the loop of the Milanese to your needs.  It is easily adjustable and fits perfectly, but it's magnetic and I'm not sure if that may interfere with your equipment.

  My watch has the sports Strip and that is comfortable also.

• Unable to receive calls from Apple Watch, using WIFI AT & T calls, when the iPhone is turned on, turned off or in Airplane Mode.

  I work on this issue and wanted to involve the community.

  I have tests the functionality Apple Watch and have been unable to solve my problems with WIFI call. I use the AT & T and I am connect to the strip of the 5 GHz on my router Xfinity.

  I am able to make/receive calls from my iPad and Mac laptop when iPhone is off / Mode plane; However, this feature does not work on the watch. I can make and receive calls from the watch when the phone is turned on.

  Another problem is that I am not able to send and receive messages (blue or green bubble) of the watch - once again when the phone is turned off or in flight Mode

  I'll copy in 2 portions of the Web site: http://help.apple.com/watch/

  http://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403

  If your Apple Watch is in range of a Wi - Fi network that the iPhone is connected to before, you can always do the following (even if the iPhone is off):

  • Send and receive digital messages Touch
  • Send and receive messages using Messages
  • Make and receive phone calls (if you have active calls, Wi - Fi, and you are within range of a Wi - Fi connected to your iPhone before)
  • Check current weather conditions
  • Track your inventory

  Make calls via Wi - Fi

  If your cellular operator offers Wi - Fi calls, you can use Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi - Fi instead of cellular network - even when your pair iPhone isn't with you or is disabled. Apple Watch comes to be in range of a Wi - Fi network that is connected to your iPhone in the past.

  To see if your carrier offers Wi - Fi calls, see the article Apple Support phone with Wi-Fi calls, then enable the calls on your iPhone and Apple Watch Wi - Fi.

  Note: You can make emergency calls via Wi - Fi, but when possible, use rather iPhone over a cellular connection - your location information will be more specific.

  Enable on iPhone Wi - Fi calls. On iPhone, go to settings > phone and turn on Wi - Fi calling and application to other devices.

  Enable calls on Apple Watch Wi - Fi. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap phone, then turn on Wi - Fi calls. If you do not see the parameter, make sure that you have activated calls on iPhone Wi - Fi.

  Answer please if you are able to perform any of these functions! And any troubleshooting you can think!

  Hello

  These features are not available because Apple Watch cannot connect to a network of GHz Wi - Fi 5.

  If your watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but lying in a 2.4 GHz Wi - Fi network your iPhone plugged in before, the watch can connect to this network and you can continue to use certain features, including Wi - Fi calls (when it is supported by your operator, you already have in place).

• When I download something on the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but that the window remains empty. Before it used to show at least the name of the file and I was able to open the file in the "Downloads" window Is it possible to recover this feature?

  I am running Windows XP that is updated to the latest version (which I think could be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine, so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.

  At some point in the past (there are maybe a few versions) when I want to download a file from the Internet, the "downloads" window opens and in the window would display the name of the file I got was download or came from download. I think I used to be able to then click on the file name and opens the file (or the Setup file if necessary to launch the new program). I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (screen "On Firefox" said that it is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it has always in the past, but it remains empty, that is, nothing is displayed in the download area. I don't remember to make configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain a Virgin, but I could be wrong. I know how to find the items I downloaded (My Documents / downloads) and can generally guess what might be the name of the downloaded file, but it was much easier when something (anything) appeared in the downloads window.

  I'd like someone to tell me about a simple solution for this. I'm ready to be pretty embarrassed that I did something I should not have.

  In the Firefox Options / confidentiality be sure 'Remember download history"is checked. To see all the options on this Panel, "Firefox will be" must be set to "use the custom settings for history".

  To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click on the icon my computer, choose Properties, this little window is info on your operating system.

• BlackBerry Q5 Q5 showing do not contact names for text messages, following an update to OS 10.2

  Hello

  I just realized the suggested 10.2 OS update on my Blackberry Q5 and now when I go into my hub, it has still all my messages, but text messages are in numbers against them and no names, even if the numbers are saved in my address book.  All emails and all the rest is the display as usual.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Thank you.

  Problem has resolved itself!  I tried to restart again and that did nothing, and I tried to go to contacts, who had done nothing.  However, I went into SMS specifically rather than just the hub and which seemed to force it to download contacts, so after thinking for a while, he did this.  Then, when I returned on the hub, they carried through fine.

• Can I use Siri on my Apple Watch to post my weight to health app?

  I would like to be able to speak to Siri on my watch and have my weight posted in Apple's health on my iPhone application.

  Apparently, I managed once there is an entry that shows a watch as the source of the info, but it was a stroke of luck get that posted.

  Are there steps I must say or do to make this happen regularly?

  Hello

• I teach a cardio dance class on the inside and I can't give them a many exact calories when class ends.  The only choice is on the Apple Watch is the 'other' and I know that the class Burns 600 calories in an hour, but my watch shows only 250-350 burned. 

  I use my Apple Watch throughout the day and when I teach a cardio dance class, the number of calories is MUCH lower than other materials.  Why is the Watch not count my calories accurately?  The ladies like to know the calories to burn when the class is over and I can't give them using my Apple Watch.  Others in this class that wear the watch tells you how many is not too accurate.  We burn usually about 600 + calories and I'll be happy if my registers 350.  What could be wrong? Thank you!

  Hello

  Do not forget that Apple Watch uses Active calories (those who are burned by orders or travel) as the main measure for the app to training and activity app.

  Many other applications of fitness / devices report total calories, which consists of active calories + calories at rest (that your body is still burning even when you're not active).

• I have problem with my Apple Watch, during the step count of the market does not appear on the watch?

  I have a problem with my Apple Watch, when I use the watch on my treadmill, keep the phone, the number of step does not appear, the whole market is a waste if it shows only not on Apple Watch, how to solve this problem?

  Hi Shabbir

  Apple Watch has two integrated health and fitness apps: enforcement activity and the application of the workout. For best results, make sure your arms naturally swings while walking on the treadmill, as Apple Watch uses movement of arm (measured by the built-in accelerometer) to track and evaluate movement for indoor activities. If you use the application of the training session, your watch will also measure your heart rate continuously for training in order to estimate the calories burned.

  Check that you have configured the application of the activity:

  -Press the rings activity on your watch dial or open the application for the activity (if you have not set it upwards, you will be prompted to answer a few questions).

  Also, make sure that the fitness of tracking is enabled:

  -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > privacy > Motion & Fitness > fitness monitoring.

  You can improve the accuracy of the estimates related to activity in calibrating Apple Watch (take your iPhone with you on walks outdoors or tracks, connected to your Apple Watch and with location enabled Services - see the detailed instructions in the article to support below).
