Folks, I often find something that most all of you already know, but just in case.

I have a laptop with the lid closed and view through an Apple Monitor. ?I use Apple’s watch and what is suppose to happen is when I access the monitor the Watch is suppose to open the OS on the laptop.?

It hasn’t work for years, if I use the trackpad to awaken the monitor it never opens and I always have to type the password.

If I use the keyboard by hitting the spacebar it might work one time out ot ten.

By accident I found if I hit the spacebar twice it ALWAYS opens and ready to use. ?I guess I should have learned this long ago, maybe none of you have a watch opens your system, maybe I’m a choir of one but just in case I thought I would pass along.

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and are looking forward to Apple under your tree this Christmas.

?Hi John,

I recently upgraded the OS on my iMac and laptop and one of the features that came with the upgrade is the ability to have my Applewatch unlock my computers - no more typing the password -hope I don’t forget it!

I have an external monitor attached to my iMac via an hdmi cable. When the iMac wakes up it takes a few seconds longer for the external monitor to wake up.

Hope all my friends on this list had a wonderful holiday.

Be well my friends.
