• 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

• Impossible to activate the unlock Mac with Apple Watch

  I am running Sierra on a MacBook Pro 15 "retina early 2013

• Mac OS Apple Watch Sierra unlock

  Hello

  I have a Macbook Pro 15 "end in 2014, I installed Sierra tonight to try out the new"unlock"feature.

  The release mechanism works 1/10, most of the time when I open the lid, it should be like a good second and then, he invites the normal place to enter the password. It is as my macbook seeks the Apple Watch but couldn't find it and asking for a password after the attempt.

  2 authentication is enabled, checked it on my macbook in middle on and my watch has a code to access and watch OS 3.

  Is there a way to fix this? I really want to use this feature...

  Thanks in advance.

• Unlock Mac Pro with Apple Watch

  I just downloaded the new OS of Sierra and have the newest OS on my iPhone and watch.  I tried to set up to where I can unlock my Mac with my watch, but can't seem to understand. Everything I read said I should check the box that says allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac. in respect of the security and confidentiality under general. Only problem is that I can't find such a thing anywhere... Any suggestion would be great.

  You're supposed to open preferences system (on your MacBook), go to Security & Privacy and then check the box that says "allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac". And it has not worked for you?

  Is your Apple Watch under the same Apple ID as your MacBook? If not, this is why it does not work. Otherwise... I don't really know.

• Swim with the sport of Apple Watch 38 mm

  Hello

  Nice day.

  I bought a Apple Watch 38 mm sport.

  I want to know I can wear to swim in the pool?

  Pls answer me by e-mail.

  Kind regards.

  Edmond

  Hi Edmond

  You shouldn't swim in the pool with Apple Watch.

  Your watch is splash and resistant to water, but it is not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch during the year, in the rain and all washing their hands. Overwhelming Apple Watch, however, is not recommended. The watch must also be dry if it is wet.

  Apple advises specifically, for example, the following can affect Apple Watch water resistance and should be avoided:

  • Swim or bathe with Apple Watch.
  • Overwhelming Apple Watch in water for long periods of time.
  • Exposing Apple Watch to pressurized water or water of high velocity, for example, showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing and so on.
  • Apple Watch port in the sauna or the hammam room.

  Water resistance is not a permanent state, and Apple Watch cannot be rechecked or closed for resistance to water.

• 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.

• 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!

    • For Apple ID - Apple Support two-factor authentication
    • If you are currently using two-step verification instead, follow the instructions here to turn off (under "How can I disable two-step verification?") before you enable two-factor authentication:
      • Frequently asked questions about the audit in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support

  • Your Apple Watch uses a password:
    • On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then type the access code.
