• Automatic unlocking with Apple Watch active but expire

  I've activated automatic unlocking on my Mac (Macbook Air 6.1) successfully, I had my first gen Apple Watch upgraded to watch OS 3 and when I opened my Macbook, it says «Unlock with Apple Watch...» ». After a few seconds, however, I get a spinny wheel thought and then it expires and I get the password prompt. I tried to restart my Mac and my watch, but don't know what else to do here?

  As far as I know I have everything set up properly - 2-factor authentication, the right operating system, the hardware supports, but it just times out. Anyone have any idea why this could be or a potential solution?

It will start to pair up with the SE, but when you select the prompt to "Apple Watch configuration" message then indicating there is no pair. I have re-paired and unpaired with my iPhone 6 without any problem, so that tells me that there is a problem SE. I can pair the SE with my car and my macbook and I have no problem.

The Apple Watch already associated with my iPhone 5 and just improved to the SE. worked for about a week and matching seems to have started to somehow lose the connection. I can see the bluetooth icon on the iPhone lighting several times as if detected his watch but nothing. I'm trying to pair with the camera on the iPhone and place the watch in the viewfinder does nothing, it does not detect read / that sound here. I also did the manual of twinning with the code and the code never happened on the watch. I even reset the watch and phone and nothing.

• Auto unlock with Apple Watch

  Dear support team Apple,

  I have problem with MacOS Sierra feature "Auto Unlock with Apple Watch". I upgraded my MacBook Pro 2015 until the latest Version of the OS and Apple Watch until the OS 3.

  I followed the instructions automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

  As a result:

  1. two factor authentication enabled on iCloud account;

  2. pass code activated on Apple Watch;

  3. I use iCloud even on Mac and on the watch.

  But the option is not in the system preferences. Attached printscreen.

  I have exactly the same problem. I checked that I have two factor, not two steps of authentication. I have a the same devices, 6 2015 s of MacBook Pro, Apple Watch and iPhone more. The option does not appear for me either.

• Unlock with Apple Watch does not

  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.

  When I close and reopen my Air, "Unlock with Apple Watch" appears for about 10 seconds, and then I type my password.

  Help? Thank you!

• 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

• Turn on auto cannot unlock with Apple Watch

  Hi guys,.

  I need help here.  I'm on macOS Sierra on a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013).  I actually had auto unlock with my Apple Watch two days ago.  But then I did a stupid thing yesterday and had to restore the MacBook OSX Maverick and re-upgrade to Sierra.  I can't activate longer auto unlock with Apple Watch now and it's really frustrating.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Don't feel alone, there are a lot of problems. Very inconsistent behavior.

  Your Apple Watch is unlocked?

• 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?

  Hoping that someone here has some good ideas, so I can avoid having to go through the centre commercial/Apple Store!

  Bought a watch series 2 the day of the launch, immediately tried to pair with the bluetooth headphoens I got (AvierBTE somethings). No luck. Thought maybe I just got bad headphones - but they always associate with my iphone 6 s. bought a pair of Mswift Pow helmet off Amazon and bluetooth headset at the same time borrowed a friend this pair with its original Apple Watch. My Mswifts, or his headphones will pair with my watch, although the two pair with my iphone.

  My watch IS pair with my amazon echo - so I know the bluetooth works.

  The watch is the headset in discovery mode, but when I try to pair, it gives an error and says it cannot associate, check that the camera is turned on, in range, etc..

  Another person had problems of this kind and has managed to find a solution?
