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.

  • 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

  • What is the best way to get back to the basics with apple products

    I have four devices apple, IMac, IPad, iPhone 4 s & a Mac Book Pro.

    I have problems to understand all of these devices in one way or another that I just are not / can not understand the jargon associated with trying to use to update or modify my needs.

    For example the iMac that I bought at the beginning of the year, I have a separate hard drive, I realized is not password protected, I downloaded the software of Lacie hard drive manufacturing, but I do not see that it works or what to expect, I thought that to have access, you will put in a password like I do when I turn on the iMac not so simple & I lost a whole day on this & finished frustrated as no further, this is the case every time.

    I need some tips on where to start because I don't have anyone to ask what do I escaped my way through.

    I think I need to get back to the basics & get a form any order that these devices are all different but have a purpose.

    Can someone advise on where I should start it please.

    iPhone iOS 7.1.

    iPad iOS 9.2.

    Book of Mac Pro OS X 10.9, Mavericks (I think)

    IMac Yosemite 10.10

    The most important thing you can have right now are backups of your important data.   Which is often using an external USB drive and a tool called Time Machine to back up your Mac and using the service cloud either Apple or iTunes for backup of your iPhone and iPad devices.  (There are other ways to make backups, but Time Machine is a common choice).

    To learn more...  Apple puts at your disposal a web site the basics of the Mac who could help with this (and similar sites for learning iPhone and iPad), there are electronic books available for iPhone and iPad too and most Apple stores have workshops for Mac, iPhone and iPad which may help.   There are also a few books available if you prefer.  Suits you depends on how you prefer to learn.

    Apple has built into recent versions of OS X called FileVault 2disc encryption.  There is no need of software add-on for that.

    If you are not sure what version of the OS X software you use or which specific Mac you use, then you can use  > about this Mac.   That will show you the General information on your Mac, and - as you become more familiar with this and need of more details, you can ask for more details here.

    Yes, there is a huge amount that you can choose to learn and use with any one of these products, if you want, or you can choose to learn enough to get what you want to do.   It is entirely your decision.
