marktheando posted:I tried restarting everything already, but a couple more watch restarts sorted it out. What a relief, I really could not be bothered re-pairing after needing to do that for the last couple watchOS updates. I've restarted a bunch of times, but I still get the "can't communicate with your watch" error when I try to enable auto-unlock. Have tried surgery on Keychain, rebooting laptop, trying to disable iCloud Keychain (it re-enables itself right away), and nothing. Annoying, it was a feature I'd been looking forward to. Also, I have a new series 6 running 7.1, and a few times a day it'll stop responding to face swipes to show notifications or control center. It's fixed on reboot, but that is sucky. Any idea what I can do to fix that?

Quantum of Phallus posted:This sounds like a dodgy watch, I'm on an SE with 7.1 and having no issues at all with the notifs, control centre or Mac unlock (as of the latest OS updates) Ugh. I guess I'll call support? Not sure what to expect from that.

DangerZoneDelux posted:all phones and watches from Apple ping a signature required In Canada at least nobody is doing signature on delivery to reduce contact, so my watch was delivered a few weeks ago without any signature requirement. (If there’s a signature requirement they make you pick it up at a depot.)

Pacing in my office sometimes isn't enough to trigger a Stand so whenever there's a break between or during meetings I roam the main floor like a Roomba, trying to get credit for some activity.

Do we need the watchOS upgrade for mask-unlock?

Is there any good way to get my watch to update its knowledge about my calendar? Mine changes a lot during the day, and I can't really trust what it tells me because it can sometimes be hours out of date. (I recognize that calendar sync is apparently a hard problem, and have in the past resorted to hard copies updated by my admin every time there was a change, like some boomer printing their email, but I'm hoping The Apple Experience can be better here.)

Jose Oquendo posted:Can you be more specific? It sounds like you're talking about two different problems. 1. Your watch getting updated calendar information and 2. Your email/calendar system working correctly. Sorry, my calendar system works correctly and at least Google Calendar seems to be up to date when I check it. I don't use Calendar.app other than to configure it so I could see stuff on my watch, but I can check if it's syncing properly as a next step, thank you. (When I was using Android and Exchange my calendar system didn't work well, but it occurs to me that it's been a decade since then, sheesh.)

Red_Fred posted:Does anyone have a suggestion for a nice bedside stand that can charge my watch (using the charger that comes with it is fine) and also my xr wirelessly? There was a nice Belkin one that seemed to do this but it looks like they stopped making it? I have a 3-in-1 charger from Phantom that does my watch, phone, and AirPods and I like it other than the really bright charging lights. Definitely recommend getting one that makes it easy to correctly position the phone, because the previous one I had was quite annoying in that regard.

I have the Milanese loop and don’t have to adjust it all the time. I do have to get it all the way open to get my hand through it, but my hands are quite large.

But captive portals usually need each MAC address to authenticate. How does that work with the watch and phone?

My watch has been prompting me a few times today to enter my AppleID password. I did it the first time (bless the iPhone-as-keyboard mode) but the second I just cancelled because I needed to do something else with the watch. What is the most likely thing that I’ve hosed up? (And why doesn’t the watch get all its auth info from the iPhone where everything seems to be working fine?)

That’s because they need to have you enter a request code to avoid the overload-push-and-wait-for-frustration-accept attacks, I believe, and there’s no way to do that within the watchOS notification framework or something.

what's the state of the art in knockoff bands that are safe to put on human skin? niece needs a new band and her mom will be cross if I pay full freight for it, but I figure I can get away with some knockoff thing. I guess I should figure out what size she has too, hmm.

What magic baseband or whatever incantation does the non-cellular Watch use to send SMS? My 14 Pro Max is totally locked up, not responding to power button holding or anything, but I can still send and receive SMSes through my Watch. None of the other apps that talk to the phone work, as I expect, but SMS is still trucking. Surprising!

I wasn’t connected to wifi though, I was sitting at the hairdresser which I don’t think even has wifi. Phone was fixed by a hard reset (up-down-hold power) so I can’t look into it more deeply…

Corb3t posted:You pay for it, but AppleCare in general is such a great service. I don’t use it often, but the few cases where I have were amazing, all done via messages chat, and they overnighted my replacement. The problem with AppleCare is that it can make people believe that literally any other post-purchase protection plan is worth buying.

I have set my contact under Settings -> Siri -> My Information, and on my phone Siri can tell me my address. On my watch, it tells me that I haven’t set My Information. I’ve tried rebooting the watch, to no avail. Anyone know what might be up?

buglord posted:On my phone Siri will randomly forget it has my address on file even when it gave my directions earlier in the day. Is it happening repeatedly on your watch? I’ve been trying for like 3 hours since I set it on my phone. Maybe I’ll open a support chat…
