Hi,

 

For any reason I can't unlock my MacBook Air with my Apple Watch 9.

 

MacBook Air comes from 2022 and it worked with my old watch 7.

Suggest searching online since there is plenty of info at Apple's forums regarding how to fix this behavior.

Hi,

 

For any reason I can't unlock my MacBook Air with my Apple Watch 9.

 

MacBook Air comes from 2022 and it worked with my old watch 7.

To unlock your 2022 MacBook Air and Apple Watch 9, ensure both devices are running the latest software versions and have the "Unlock with Apple Watch" option enabled in their settings. If the issue persists, try restarting both devices, ensuring Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled, and searching online forums for similar cases. If none work, contact Apple Support for further assistance or recommend service options.
