Want my iPhone and Apple Watch both ding when I get a text / SMS message.

My wife has a watch and iPhone 5 s and she wants SMS / text messages from the watch or the phone to beep.

Is there a way to do this? If not, is there a way to make sure it's always the ringing telephone, even if the watch is connected?

The way this works is that the watch will replace the phone for most of the alerts. So if the watch is connected, you will get alerts on the iPhone.

  • How can I sync my iPhone and Apple Watch to a new computer without losing any data?

    I'm about to fix my laptop and I need to change my iTunes on PC. But I don't want to lose any data on the health of the Apple Watch.

    Copy of the data of all iTunes from the laptop to PC will have all my apps and music. But what about the backup? They are encrypted to record data on the health of my Apple Watch.

    Can I copy and paste the encrypted data backup iTunes?

    Please I need help.

    Move an encrypted backup from one computer to another value may not work, but as long as no device should be restored now you should be able to migrate from the library to the new computer and then take a fresh encrypted backup of each device.

    Migrate a library iTunes from one computer to another

    These are two approaches that work normally to move an existing library to a new computer.

    Method 1

    1. Save the library with this trick of the user.
    2. Remove the old computer if you no longer wish to access content protected on it.
    3. Restore the backup to your new computer by using the same tool used to back it up.
    4. Keep your current backup in the future.

    Method 2

    Connect the two computers on the same network. Share your old computer < user music > folder and copy the folder of library full iTunes in the < user music > on the new folder. Yet once, remove the old computer so is no longer necessary.

    These two methods should give the new computer, a clone of the library work which was on the former. What about iTunes is it is still the 'home' for your devices library you should not have problems with iTunes will erase and reload.

    I recommend method 1 because it establishes a current backup for your library.

    Note If you have iOS devices and that you have not reached your contacts and calendar all in all items, then you need to create a dummy entry in your new profile and iTunes expected to merge existing data from the device.

    If your media folder has been separated in the main folder of iTunes, you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a library of portable split.

    If you are in the unfortunate position where you're able to access your original library or a backup and then see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device to get tips on how to configure your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Is it possible to have my iPhone 6 and Apple Watch both make a noise when it receives notifications?

    I have look under each setting and can't find anything. I work in an environment where the sound of watches is not quite enough to be heard, but my phone can be. Yes, I have a set of haptic at max too, but I want my phone to ring for notifications as well.

    Hello

    You can see that if you turn off your wrist detection (on your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > General > wrist detection) it will make all notification alerts to be delivered to both devices. However, you will not then be able to benefit from features including Apple pay and one unblock after placing the watch on your wrist.

    If you want Apple to consider adding an option for notifications to be delivered for both devices regardless of the other settings (this option currently does not exist), you can suggest to Apple here:

  • cannot sync iPhone to Apple Watch 7 playlist

    I had this problem, which occurs more often when you try to synchronize with my Apple Watch. I have paired with the iPhone and load time. The iphone connected to BT and WiFi. I select music in the Apple Watch app (I put it at a maximum of 2 GB of music) and then choose a playlist on my iPhone it is 520MB in size. Most of the time, the synchronization 'in the meantime' will appear and never progress beyond that. On rare occasions, it has synchronized music to the watch. When I try to update the playlist and syncing again, it often hangs on "sync in progress". He has also deleted from the playlist of the watch repeatedly, or said the synchronization is complete, but then only about 10% of the songs could be played on the watch and the rest was dark and couldn't access it. I tried unpairing and repair of the watch from the phone repeatedly. I hard rebooted time watch and phone repeatedly. I have improved the watch Watch BONES 1 to 2 to 3 without measurable change. I recently bought an iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 2 and find that exactly the same problem with completely different hardware.

    I see that others have problems similar, but not sure why it is so persistent through the operating systems and the modernization of the unit. I read Apple support on this issue and following all recommended procedures. Anyone had this problem and found a solution?

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 7 series Apple Watch 2. I can't sync the playlist with Apple Watch. It has synchronized some songs and the name of the playlist, but that's all. When I change or remove a few songs in the list, it says sync or waiting but no progress. The annoying part is the morning. After night, I leave my phone and watch the load, my phone is hot in the morning and another songs have not yet synchronized. I am in desperate need of this specification. I want to at least know is there something to do about it or we need to live with it?

  • Answering calls using headphones and Apple Watch

    I just bought and Apple Watch and Power Beats headphones wireless because I want to be able to respond to calls with a tap on my watch and then have the call come through the headset. The beautiful girl in the Apple Store said that it could be done.

    I have the headset paired with the watch, but when a call comes in and I respond with the watch he's just over the watch, not the helmet speaker. I have to do something different?

    Hi Anita

    In order to use your headphones for phone calls, they must be associated with the place on your iPhone (not to your Apple Watch).

  • What is the difference between Apple Watch sport and Apple Watch?

    What is the difference between Apple Watch Sport42mm space aluminum case gray with Strip black sports and Apple Watch 42 mm space with black Sport band black steel box?

    Hi Mathias

    There is no difference in the features of the software or the specifications of internal material between the Apple Watch models (with the exception of a few faces of exclusive watch on Apple Watch Hermès).

    The only differences are the materials used - including watch boxes, tapes, and views.

    For example: Apple Watch Sport models are designed to be as light as possible, using aluminum and glass aluminosilicate for the screen. Apple Watch models use heavy stainless steel case and sapphire glass for the screen.

    Your best option may be to make an appointment to try on Apple Watch in an Apple Store, see and feel the difference.
