Have just updated to Big Sur on iMac but now cannot unlock with Apple watch (series 5). Advice please.
I had the same issue with Apple Watch 6 (watchOS 7.1) and MacBook Pro 13 early 2015 (Big Sur). So I repaired it with some steps:
1) I disabled Keychain synchronisation on MacBook (Settings/iCloud/Keychain)
2) I made steps in this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251803595?answerId=253458029022#253458029022
3) Disconnected Watch from iPhone
4) Connected back Watch to iPhone (set it from backup)
5) Restarted MacBook
6) Turned on Keychain in iCloud settings
7) Enabled Auto Unlock for Watch in System Prefs
Updated watch series 4 to WatchOS 7.1 and MacMini 2018 to Big Sur
no unlock possible
advice please
I've the same problem!
This worked for me. It took 2 tries, though. Thanks!
Thank you for your help. I'm trying to figure out what is "Keychain Access", as my Macbook language isn't English. How can I find that setting?
Understood! Thanks!
Still the same result for me I'm afraid, refuses to connect to the Watch.
Ok thanks ill try that.
Thanks so much! Worked like a charm!
you don't have to reset the apple watch !
I did the reset and everything worked and my watch is as it was. Very happy Applephile😊😊😊😊
thank you !! it works!!1
Remember when Apple's motto was "It just works"?
Seems like a long time ago, doesn't it?
First solution fixed my Series 3 and MacBook Pro 13” (2019, Two Thunderbolt). Thank you for the assistance. :)
Yeah, this is way to complex for someone that barely navigates the safari menu... why can’t they just fix this bug and be over with?
The solution solved the issue for me for a couple of days. Now, my MBP, started ignoring my Apple Watch Again.
