Apple Watch Disconnecting

Hey guys,
So I woke up today, checked my Apple Watch and it had been 'disconnected' from my iPhone. I couldn't figure out a way to re-connect. I tried to reboot and hard reset both my iPhone and Watch but didn't do anything. I tried un-pairing the Watch from my iPhone but then couldn't re-pair. I also looked through the Apple Watch App on my iPhone and through settings on the Watch but couldn't find anything to re-connect them.
I ended up resetting the whole Watch, which meant I had to pair it all again and restore it from a backup. I was wondering if anyone knew how to re-connect them if they do ever disconnect again?
Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem. I spoke with tech support but the support person was unable to resolve the problem during a one hour phone call. I ended up pushing the reset on the watch and this worked. This is not something I want to keep doing. I had to reload credit cards into Apple Pay, re install several apps, etc. even though I used the available back up choice. Since the watch is still new, this wasn't a major problem, but now two days later, the watch has disconnected again from the iPhone. There appears to be no other way to reconnect. The manual option does not work because there is no way to get the watch to the pairing screen without doing the reset. I tried the other suggestions: turning on Airplane Mode then off again. No results. I will probably have to contact Tech support again today.

Restart the AppleTV if you haven't done so first.

Why does my Apple TV disconnect from the internet while Im watching Netflix? If I reboot my Apple TV, it seems to stay connected longer, but it still disconnnects me from my Wifi every 10 mins or so. I am not connected thru the eathernet cable.

If you try by Ethernet you can verify if the issue is with your WiFi network or if your appletv is defect as most users do not suffer as you do

My bluetooth earphones won't stay connected to my Apple Watch!

As you are reading this question, be sure to note the distinction between PAIR and CONNECT. They are not the same thing and in this question I use them according to their separate definitions/functions.
I have an Apple Watch and had no trouble pairing and connecting my first set of bluetooth headphones (Jabra Sport) to both my watch and my iPhone 6 (on iOS 8.3). Similarly, the iPhone and Apple Watch pair and connect just fine as well. I am returning the Jabra headphones because they fall out, so I did "Forget This Device" from both my phone and watch. I now want to pair my new Yurbuds earphones from Leap Wireless to both my phone and watch. I know that I cannot use the earphones with both devices simultaneously, but they should be able to remain paired and then I can choose at which time I want to connect to either device. After I got them both paired, I tried to play music from my Apple Watch (playlist stored on the watch) and it plays momentarily and then within seconds the volume scrolls all the way to zero by itself and then disconnects. I've tried starting this process with the bluetooth on my phone OFF and things run smoothly between earphones and watch, but as soon as I turn bluetooth on my phone back ON, the volume on the watch scrolls back down to zero and then disconnects again. I have tried this with my Apple Watch connected to the phone and not connected with the phone. It's almost as if the earphones see that the bluetooth on my phone is in the "on" position and they cancel out the connection to the watch. I've done this same process over and over again, even just turning the watch and headphones on and off again, re-pairing, "Forget This Device," basically trying to start from square one, but it's not stickign!
This didn't happen with the Jabra headphones. Both my phone and watch were paired to the headphones and I just connected to the one that I wanted to use at the time. So I know that what I'm asking is not impossible. It just isn't working and I can't figure out why!!

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
Then delete a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.

How do I exactly use Apple Watch with iPhone?

In iOS 8.2's Apple Watch app, the iPhone must be connected to Wifi or Cellular Data and Bluetooth. They must be connected to pair with the Watch. Lets say I've paired the Watch. If I disconnect the Wifi or Cellular Data, will the Apple Watch stop pairing?
How ow will I get phone calls and messages on the Watch?

Apple Watch / iPhone / vehicle hands-free management?

How will our iPhones manage the juggling between an already paired Apple Watch and the hands free vehicle connection we use? Will it be handed off to the vehicle automatically or are we going to need to manually disconnect from the watch in order to use this feature? It appears that the iPhone can only manage one bluetooth device at a time, so, the both cannot be connected.
If this is the case and we lose this autonomous feature, it will be a huge inconvenience to a lot of us!
Any insight?

Bluetooth supports more than one connection at a time -- just not 2 of the same type (e.g., to 2 different headphones). See the quote below from Wireless input devices: Bluetooth frequently asked questions - Apple Support
and also see http://www.solveyourtech.com/can-two-bluetooth-devices-connected-iphone/
The official Bluetooth specifications state seven is the maximum number of Bluetooth devices that can be connected at once. However, three to four devices is a practical limit, depending on the types of devices and profiles are used. Some devices require more Bluetooth data, so they are more demanding than other devices. Data-intensive devices may reduce the total number of devices that can be active at the same time. If a Bluetooth device becomes slow to connect or does not perform reliably, reduce the total number of connected devices.

Apple watch will not turn off when charging

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone is able to turn off their apple watch when it is connected to the charger?
When I connect the charger, the "power off" option is greyed out.. If I disconnect it from the charger and turn it off... It will turn itself back on as soon as I re-connect the charger!
Any tips would be appreciated!

Mine doesn't turn off but the display goes off after a little while. I believe that that's the design behaviour. Any specific reason why you want to turn it off on the charger?

Apple Watch cannot synchronize contacts

Hi all,
My Apple Watch cannot synchronize all of my contacts - my favorite contacts are always empty after 4 days.
I have two iCloud accounts (one for my myself, one for family) for contact and the iPhone contact.
I found that it can only synchronize one of the iCloud accounts and the iPhone (itself) contacts; which it left my another iCloud accounts (onwith over 1500 contacts.
Is this a limitation of Apple Watch to synchronize only one iCloud accounts - can I force it to synchronize my another iCloud accounts?
Thanks.
Vincent

I am bloody livid. My synchronisation from N95 8GB to Outlook stopped working a few months back. I tried reinstalling the software but it warned me that there was a problem with the installation so I tried to close the modal window. A dialogue box came up saying it could not exit without damaging the phone so I let it complete and there was no marked difference - and the phone still would not sync.
I have been unable to synchronise/backup since then so, this morning I got an update software notice and assumed that would be a good move. The download started followed by the installation. The installation halted half way through telling me I was disconnected from the phone. I read the warning that says 'Do Not Disconnect' So I went out without my phone leaving it to do what it would do. On my return I found a Dialoge box telling me there was a problem with the installation.
My phone had cleared completely. Completely reset. No Calander, No Contacts, No Notes - all gone! And now? I still cannot synchronise with Outlook. I have a phone with no contacts and no means of getting them on other than manually
The problems this will cause me are immense. I suppose there is little anyone will do about this but I was delighted with the phone until this occurred. I am now trawling the net to see if comparitive competitors phones have synch problems because it would appear from this and similar threads that I am not alone with this problem.
I should have calmed down by now but I haven't. I am bloody angry.

Air play in Apple Tv disconnects with no reason, and I need to restart the router to connect again. Meanwhile apple tv is connected to wi if. Can somebody help?

Air Play in my Apple TV disconnects from iPhone or Mac book after some time of playing. I need to restart the router in order to connect again. Apple tv is connected to wifi succesfully? Any suggestion?

I tried something new yesterday after reading all these messages. My ATV3 was situated on top of my satellite box and I noticed that it was quite warm. The instruction manual suggests that the box not go over a certain temperature, so I moved the box to a location without the heat under it. It now works without any problem at all...at least, so far.

Can you sync the apple watch to more than one phone?

Say I wanted to leave my phone at home. Could I sync my apple watch to my husbands phone but still get my texts etc???

If you're within about 20-30 feet, sync will be via Bluetooth. If the phone is on a wifi network, you can be farther away: exactly how far varies according to the quality of wifi, walls etc.

My "regular guy" impressions of using the Apple Watch for a few days

I was asked by friends to give my impressions of owning an Apple Watch. I guess it all comes down to:
Is the Apple watch worth about a dollar a day for the first year, and free thereafter?
I guess that depends on how much value you put on being able to leave your phone on silent, remaining in your pocket most of the day.
Because of the Taptic notifications, which are distinct "taps" on the wrist by the Watch for different things, I no longer have to keep my phone volume on all day (iPhone vibrations weren't strong enough in my pocket to notify me reliably) leading to a much nicer all day experience. On top of that, when I do get a notification, I can quickly flick my wrist to see what it is instead of digging my phone out. Much nicer to quickly glance at the latest 20% off offer from "YouNeedThis!.com" and dismiss it than dig the phone out, unlock it, click on mail, ...grumble.
The ease of notifications alone makes it worth it to me. It is easy to quickly respond most of the time, too. I find myself using my phone WAY less, which is refreshing (and I am sure appreciated by those around me.)
And the chirps, pings, whistles that used to emanate from my pocket all day are gone. Ahhhhh.
A few other things I have found convenient:
Actually knowing the time, date, weather etc. easily. Sure, I could have been wearing a wrist watch for some of that, but for the last few years I have used my Smartphone for these things. They are just so much simpler on the wrist.
Answering the phone easily when doing something. I am not one to wear a Bluetooth headset around like a Borg, so being able to easily answer when my wife calls as I am fixing lunch for the kid is really convenient.
Having the next thing on my daily calendar right there visible when I look at the Watch. I use the Mickey Mouse watch face normally (hey, I have an 18 month old daughter who loves pushing and seeing Mickey "dancing") and right there on the bottom it tells me the next thing on the list. I don't know how other folks do things on their phones, but I always had trouble sifting through notifications on the phone seeing what was on the agenda for the day. Yeah I could go to the calendar several times during the day on the phone, but it wasn't convenient. It is simple on the Watch seeing what is coming up during the week. And I say "week" because the Watch only shows you what is coming up in the NEAR future. To me that makes sense. Again, it is all about quick information and what works best in a glance. On the Watch it makes sense to quickly see what is coming soon. On the phone it makes sense to meander over months and make full edits in a more convenient manner.
Setting quick timers, reminders or alarms is a breeze using Siri on the Watch. So much more convenient than digging out the phone.
Getting a quick overview on the Watch on how active I have been (or not been) has already spurred me to get up and move more often. Yes there are other devices that help with this (I had a Fitbit previously) but having it all self contained within the Watch is nice and (here I go again) convenient.
A few things that are not perfect on the watch:
The speaker is pretty quiet when trying to have a hands free "Dick Tracy" conversation. Any kind of louder noise in the room and you will have trouble.
Apple is synonymous with consistency. Their entire platform is built on making a consistent experience for everyone that just works. On the Watch, however, there are some inconsistent uses of actions to do certain things. For example, sometimes when I get a notification and I want to dismiss it off the watch I can "Force press" which brings up a "Clear All" button to tap. Other times I have to scroll to the bottom of the notification to "dismiss." I like the "Force press" thing... let's make it happen consistently.
Most apps now are really pretty useless on the watch. For one thing, the screen times out too quickly for them. For another, anything in which one needs more than a glance to get the information is MUCH easier to do on the phone. Of all the apps in the Watch App store, the only things I have downloaded and find I actually use are a quick note dictation app, a "what is nearby me" type app, and a sports scores app. That being said, I am perfectly OK with that because that is really not what the Watch is for in my opinion. We aren't SUPPOSED to be doing things on the Watch that are more easily done on the phone. Things that are designed to be quick (check time, check weather, check who just sent a message) are great on the Watch. Things like searching for the best item on Amazon are just ridiculously silly on the Watch (really, Amazon?)
Conspicuously missing from the core apps on the Watch is Apple's "Notes" app. A perfect use for the Watch is to quickly take a note of something you need to remember later. I was forced to download a 3rd party app, Evernote, for this. The Evernote app works well, but I am very surprised that this was missed by Apple as a perfect example of what would be helpful to use the Watch to do.
There is no way to set the "screen on" time to a custom time period. Six seconds or so is default and unchangeable. This makes the Watch worthless for anyone in a health profession. Nurses and EMTs still take pulses using their watch to time the heart rate. Often, with irregular heart rates, a full 60 seconds must be observed. One just can't do this with the Watch. This is quite surprising as the Watch has actually been marketed to health workers with apps even designed solely to assist health workers in their daily planning. Apple clearly wanted to be able to control battery life with such a quick screen off "feature" but allowing us to decide for ourselves the tradeoff of battery life vs. usability would be a much better choice.
There are ways to make Tweets, Facebook status updates and the like on the Watch, but it really doesn't make sense to try to do it "all" socially on the Watch. It is so much easier on the phone to actually interact socially, that it really only makes sense to do so on the Watch in more of a "one off" way. When you just have to share something quickly, but don't really have time for give and take.
Finally, some things work a bit slow or wonky right now. I expect this to improve greatly over time with future versions of the software. Stuff like this ALWAYS gets better.
So for me, the Watch is working as I expect it should. There are certainly improvements that Apple can and will be able to make, but it is saving me time, adding ease of use to many actions I do every day, and is kind of fun to use. I am enjoying it because I am not expecting it to do things for which ANY wearable would not be well suited. The things it is best for, it does pretty well.
That is worth a dollar a day... to me at least.

To put the iPod into forced disk mode, this is what you should be doing.
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Have you also seen this?
iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.

Calendar App on Apple Watch

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening fellow Appleites,
Received my Apple Watch on April 24th via UPS and have been like a kid on christmas morning since! It really is spectacular. Some glitches, certainly, but thats to be expected from any new product release. Something else to be expected is that not everything will be included in the first release ... As people say what they want, Apple will no doubt incorporate these wishes into future versions of the OS - we all know that, so if some features are missing from 1.0 ... big deal! Having said that ... I have a quick question I am hoping the collective Apple Watch Community can help answer.
On the Calendar Watch App, it appears I can only view the current month ... not future or prior months? I feel like being able to scroll through months is something fairly basic and would be included in a 1.0 iteration ... so I am thinking user error. But i've tried a couple searches on various sites with no luck in finding out how to swipe to future/previous months and am hoping "you" can help me. I thank you in advance for your help!
Happy Time Telling!

I believe it's not possible. It's already 1st of May here in Sydney and I cannot get back to 30th April.
Interestingly I did not notice in the last two days that I couldn't get into May. Maybe I couldn't see May in the monthly calendar but I could at least scroll into May in the day view.

Buying Apple Watch in US later in the year for Australian use

Later in the year I am thinking about purchasing an Apple Watch in the US while on my holiday over there. I am wondering, if I bought an Apple Watch there.. Will it work/pair with my Australian phone.

As far as anyone knows (and no one here has an Apple watch yet), yes.
