I have an Iwatch is the first gen however updated to ios 3.0, I also have a MacBook Air, which is a 2015. I only got about 4 months. I downloaded Sierra and was very excited on my watch unlock my mac. However, it will not work.

I did every step very carefully this Apple support suggested, I spent 2 h 30 in the store with a genius and it still does not work. I was on the phone with Apple support and hung up, so Im hoping to get some help here.

Hey Molly624,

If I understand correctly, you have trouble getting the Apple Watch to unlock your MacBook Air. It seems that you have already done some troubleshooting and you have perhaps already been through this material, but just in case I recommend to read this article. He hs the steps and requirements for this feature.

  • MacBook Air randomly fades everything down

    Yesterday my Macbook Air has randomly started dimming all the way down to the lowest setting.

    The screen is always on (I can barely make the content). If I hit the drive 'down' a couple of times I can then use the 'up' dimmer to return to normal brightness. However he then randomly will drop down to zero once again.

    I use a second monitor (as well as the use of the screen of my Macbook Air at the same time) and only the Macbook Air screen decreases intensity, the second screen maintains brightness and conviviality.

    Reset the SMC could solve the problem.

  • U2715H, Macbook Air, black bars

    Hello

    I bought a new U2715H yesterday. I use it with 3 Macs:
    Mac Mini - mid-2010 (GPU: Nvidia GeForce 320 M)-works great
    MacBook Pro 13 "Early 2015 retina (GPU: Intel Iris 6100)-works great
    MacBook Air 11 '' mid 2011 (GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000)-not so great work

    So, for the problem:
    All three computers on the same mini displayport to displayport cable and provide the same resolution on-screen (2560x1440@60, the optimal screen), which is also what reported by screen (the bottom menu line). BUT, for some reason, the Macbook Air is "boxed", there are black bars and the area of the image fills the screen. the bars are about 0.75 "in all directions. Spec Apple says that this resolution is supported on all three. What can be the problem? Why only the Macbook Air has black bars?

    I'll appreciate any help here,
    Kind regards

  • Why my MacBook Air only recognizes all other pages when I try to print pages?

    I have a MacBook Air. Recently, when I typed a letter page 6 pages and tried to print from files, print, it only showed that I had 3 pages, while in the Pages document, I got 6 pages. The computer would print only 3 pages on 6. I did have this problem in the past, most recently. I don't know what I can do about it. He seems not to recognize that all of the other pages. It is not my printer. That's what the MacBook Air shows when I select Print. Only 3 of the 6 pages, even pages shows all 6 pages.

    Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

    Be more specific.

    It show 3 successive pages or only odd or even?

    If it is the latter which is a parameter in the dialog box print which may be saved as a preset.

  • Hard drive MacBook Air full when using only iclouddrive

    Can anyone help please.  I'm sure that its very simple.  I have a Macbook Air and create books for children.  I saved all the files on my iclouddrive account, thinking that I don't use space on my hard drive!  However, my hard drive is now complete.  I thought by storing all my files on the cloud, the hard drive of my computer would be pretty empty, after all this is why I bought a Macbook Air!  I asked for support to an apple store and they said that some Macbook Air have a bug that duplicates files and I need to check the files are uploaded on my drive to iCloud and then re - install the OS on my MBAir to get rid of the bug

    3 questions: it will work.  Y at - it a simpler way and he will wipe away the files on iCloud drive at the same time or they will be safe until I have access again to my newly cleaned MBAir?

    help most appreciated.

    Badger

    If you have the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud drive turned on, then all files that you have stored in iCloud drive to https://www.icloud.com/ will have a local copy on your Mac. It's not a bug, this is how it is designed to work. iCloud Drive is mainly designed for the synchronization of data between devices and is not intended as a storage cloud solution only.

  • MacBook air volume keeps going up on its own when im watching something, or listening to music

    Hello

    My macbook air 13-inch running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 version seems to have problems of volume. Whenever I'm listening to music or watching something volume continues to go up. I turn down, but it will just continue to mount it again. I let him join max once and I noticed even the thing volume kept popping up like I'm pressing the volume button constantly. This is quite annoying, because I have to keep turning down and sometimes it will increase very fast blow my eardrums.

    I would love it if someone had a solution for this!

  • Why my new macbook air does not freeze when watching videos on Youtube?

    I bought the Macbook Air a few weeks ago and all I have installed MS office and nothing else.

    The problem is when I watch videos on Youtube, the macbook freezes for more than 20 minutes. (I always have to stop it at this point or an earlier version so I don't know if the screen release after 20 minutes)

    So in this case once or twice a day since the day I bought the macbook and since it was put in place in the store, I think that there is no problem with the installer.

    I bought it with the macbook from my sister who is of the same model and same cpu, ram etc and the same thing happened to my sister, but her macbook stopped doing this after a few days.

    Can someone give me some solutions to this problem?

    The problem may be caused by a bug in OS X, triggered by "Flash Player."

    If Flash is installed and that you did not already, please update to the latest version by opening the Flash Player pane in system preferences and selecting the updates tab.

    If Flash is already up to date, or if the update does not resolve the problem, open Safari preferences window and select the Security tab uncheck the box marked

    Enable Plug-ins

    See if there is an improvement.

    You can watch videos on YouTube and other sites without using Flash by installing the extension "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin' Safari. This isn't an endorsement. You should always do your own research to determine the safety and effectiveness of any third-party software before using it.

  • AirDrop only works one way between iMac and MacBook Air

    Hello

    Surely I can't be the only one with this problem. I searched online help and followed all of the suggestions, but nothing works. I can AirDrop OF my MacBook Air (OS X Yosemite, mi 2013 construction) to the iMac (OS X El Capitan, end 2013) almost 100% of the time, but NOT vice versa. The iMac won't discover the MB Air. I even tried "find an old MAc" - no go. Drop settings are as well 'discovered by everybody' and the privacy settings firewall does not block incoming signals.

    Does anyone have a solution to short to go to the Genius bar?

    Thanks for your help, Cinilla

    You use a third-party software that modifies the behavior of the trackpad or Magic Mouse, such as "BetterTouchTool" or "MagicPrefs? If so, please, turn it off, then log off or restart the computer and test.
