The nuclear solution does not work either: If I delete the objects under point 6, they immediately reappear in the folder. Neither switching the registration function on and off, nor deactivating and reactivating Bluetooth. Unfortunately, no point has helped me so far. If you've found another way that helps, please let me know.Īfter I have had this problem since switching from a Watch Series 3 to Watch SE (strangely not when updating the Series 3 from WatchOS6 to WatchOS7 ?) I was grateful for the tips.

I hope that the automatic unlocking with the Apple Watch works again for you. Since such 'gimmicks' in system folders are always associated with a certain risk of deleting something wrong, I would always make a backup before working in the system. If necessary, restart Apple Watch and Mac and then try again.now you go in System Preferences> Security> General and enable automatic login again (sometimes you have to enable it twice because the first attempt fails).in the folder you delete the files 'ltk.plist' and 'ist' (for me there were only the two files in the folder).

Copy this path into the input field: ~ / Library / Sharing / AutoUnlock.

Now you open the Finder and select in the menu 'Go' the option 'Go to folder'.

you should also mark the four objects and delete them using the edit menu.

there should now be four objects in the result list the type says 'tlk', 'classC', 'tlk-nonsync' and 'classA'.

Now you enter “autounlock” in the search field (this time without spaces).

Now you mark all objects and select the item 'Delete' in the edit menu.

Now enter 'Auto Unlock:' in the search field at the top right (attention: don't overlook spaces and colon!).

in the menu 'display' choose 'show invisible objects'.opens the utility 'keychain management' on the Mac.The following instructions will completely reset the automatic login and the feature will then have to be set up again on your other Macs. Have you restarted the Mac AND the Apple Watch and the automatic unlocking still refuses to work, then I have a last one Instructions from the Apple Support Forum for you who take the whole thing a little deeper. Then he was able to tick the option 'Unlock with your Apple Watch apps and your Mac' (under System Preferences> Security> General). He then selected the option 'Deactivate Bluetooth' on the Mac via System Preferences> Bluetooth and then switched Bluetooth back on. My reader Frank just wrote me in the comment that my approach was unsuccessful with him because he received this error message that a connection with the Apple Watch was not possible. In the keychain management look for 'Auto Unlock:' and 'AutoUnlock' and remove the corresponding entries from the list.
