(All along the) When I get to choose the button "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac", it runs for awhile and then I get the "unable to contact Apple Watch" fast. It seems to be my watch because if I try and let the Apple Watch locked, she'll tell me to unlock, and then try again. Happens on MacBook Pro and mac mini in the same way.

  I tried to research on this problem and we tried all authentication reset to two factors for an agreement again all settings and turn it on again.

  Any thoughts?

• Apple Watch unlock Mac does not

  I have a first generation of Apple Watch and a spring 2015 MacBook Pro, which I just installed Sierra. When I tried to enable to release the Mac with Apple Watch he didn't even after a number of tests, but eventually he agreed.

  Now, however, I believe that if I leave my MacBook for a few minutes and come back, it will say that the Apple Watch unlocks the Mac, the small waiting wheel goes around and around, but after maybe 8 or 9 seconds it drops just go back to the password entry screen. The net result is a considerable delay to return on the MacBook. After this happened a few times, I have disabled unlocking with the Apple Watch in the preferences.

  Any ideas why this happens? Normally, my iPhone is also nearby and the watch is associated with it - does make a difference?

  Do you have any Bluetooth device that is connected to your Mac? I had the same problems with the feature to unlock, then I noticed that the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar show he was matched (three points through the center of the symbol) even if I had nothing paired with my laptop. I open Bluetooth preferences and delete the two devices which are listed and which had been previously connected, but were not currently connected. After the removal of these items, the Bluetooth symbol returns to its normal look unpaired, and the release device started working 100%.

  I then tried to experiment a little. First of all, I have associated my Bose speakers. 100% failure, required my password every time. Then, I have not matched the speaker and paired with an Apple Magic mouse. This gave rise to a rate of 50% of failure but still worked when I clicked on cancel, then tried recording in. I have not tried any other devices or multiple as a mouse and a keyboard.

  The Option unlock article in the security and confidentiality of the preferences section.  A note under the Option unlock indicated that I had to cut two-stage verification and turn both authentication step I made.  Now, this is not the Option of unblocking.

  Thank you!

  When you turn off the old "2 -step" and turn on the new "2 -factor", I think that it causes some of your devices to get stuck in an intermediate state. ' "." You must go to each one and check that it is fully committed the new authentication 2.

  On your phone, go to settings-> iCloud and type your name or account. He may ask you to re - enter your password and complete the process of factor 2. If she doesn't ask, you're probably OK on this device - but if you want to be absolutely sure that you can restart your phone, or as a last resort disconnect you from icloud and vice versa in.

  On your mac, go to system-> iCloud preferences and click on "Account Details". The rest is the same as above.

  The watch is the delicate issue - for that, try restarting. Press the side button until you see the cursor "turn off". When you turn it on again, he can say he can't connect to icloud, and you must retype your password on the phone. And you phone should invite you once again (even if you have entered it correctly before). Once this is done, you should see the option in your Mac system preferences (even if it may take a moment for him to synchronize).

• Apple Watch does not ask for password

  In recent days, I discovered something disturbing.  If I take off my Apple Watch and put back on without having to type in the code 4 digit, even after an extra charge per night, it will not ask for a password after an hour or two and works normally.  If it's supposed to happen?  I couldn't find anything in the support forums.

  I got my setup shows to use a password because I got it last December.

  Hi Suzanne

  If you use the following settings:

  -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > detection of wrist - on.

  -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > password > enabled.

  -Also on screen settings of password - unlock with iPhone turned on.

  Then, after putting on your wrist, your watch will unlock after whatever you do first: unlock your watch manually (by entering the access code) or unlock your iPhone.

  Then, it will remain unlocked (including when the screen is idle) until you remove it from your wrist. When you remove your watch, it locks automatically.

• How to unlock a folder protected password in 64-bit Windows 7

  Hello

  I set up a password protected folder and now I see a small lock in the folder icon and I don't know how to unlock... Help, please
  Stem

  Something is not here.  As Shawn & Bruce also said, there is no function "Encrypt contents to secure data" in Windows 7.

  Are you sure that you do not see the content or you, as Shawn suggested, get confused by the lock on the file symbol?  Maybe you put the files you expect in subfolders and are actually see everything that you are supposed to in the current folder.

  A lock symbol does not mean you are locked, it means [once again, as Shawn said] that the file belongs to someone.  If you are the only user so that would mean you in a folder that you created.

  It's just a shot in the water but that enable the display of hidden files-files in case that's the problem is.  ALT - t, folder options, view - the setting is about a third of the way down.  You can reset this later.

  Please can clarify you what you did & whether or not you can see the folder / subfolder content if one of us can help you?  You better also would confirm where this folder is and whether other users have been put up on this computer.

  [When this problem is solved, look up 'User account control' in the help system window - this is what controls multiple users on a computer and also affects one user.]

• Iphone6 unlocked with 5-digit password

  Is it possible that my iPhone6 is unlocked by a stranger.

  In August I lost my iPhone to the Peru. I have blocked everything and when they connect to the internet, the news on the iPhone will be delete (Find my iPhone app).

  Today, my wife is a whatsapp with the text they had find his iPhone to the Peru. How is it possible that they know the number of my wife. Is it possible that they unlocked my iPhone with a 5-digit password and an IOS before August 2015 and find my wife (first number in favorite) number?

  What kind of information they can find on my iPhone without internet connection?

  It's probably a phishing attempt do you provide iCloud Apple ID and password so that they can remove well find my iPhone on the device. I doubt entered the unit, they have found a way to get information about WhatsApp. These types of messages to have met emails, messages and other means when the devices have not actually been entered. However, if you connect to iCloud, they could retrieve your login information and wipe the device to use it themselves. Ignore the message.
