Health App Data Source Order With Apple Watch-

I discovered a very large difference between the number of steps counted by Health App and my other step tracking app Pacer.  Pacer was indicating I had 10,000 steps while HealthKit was reporting about 6000 steps.
I then realized this was happening because of the order my data sources were for steps.  The order was:
Apple Watch
iPhone
The problem is, the Apple watch does not track cycling as steps while the iPhone does.  Because of this, when the Apple Watch is first in the data source list for steps it doesn’t count those cycling “steps”.  I find this odd since Health App should be smart enough to merge the results; if the watch is reporting no steps and the iPhone is reporting 4000 steps, it should add the iPhone’s steps to the total.
But, if I go in and change the priority order to:
iPhone
Apple Watch
then, HealthKit reports the correct 10,000 steps.
The strange thing is, if I’m not carrying my iPhone and have my watch on, HealthKit does properly merge the watch's steps into Health App even though the Apple Watch is second on the priority list.
I’m  not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it’s important to make sure your data sources are in the correct order.  I’ve gone in and made sure my iPhone is in the first position on all my stats.

Today I did a full restore thanks to this post Health app has crashed, data gone. and some spare time to sit down and do it.
After re-adding the apps to share their data the Health app appears to be working as it was before for me. Hope this helps.

  • How does pre-ordering with Apple work?

    For people who have previously pre-ordered with Apple (for an iPad or iPhone) or are familiar with their pre-order process, would you mind explaining the process to me?
    In other words, will their website lag due to an overload of orders? Will everyone be guaranteed an iPhone 4 on the 15th? Is there limited availability? Will they be depleted out of iPhones if I order an hour after?
    I don't care when I get it, but will I be guaranteed one on the pre-order date?
    Thanks!

    What has happened in the past is the pre-order date is when you can place an order for the phone. You will not receive it until at least the 24th (available date). If you want to be one of the first on your block to get one, I'd recommend ordering as early as possible. You will be told the prospective "receive by" date when you order. Historically, those that order early, receive them on the available date. Of course you can also camp out at your local Apple Store (as has become an Apple tradition).
    It is possible there might be a lag during the initial rush, but I doubt it. Apple has figured out how to take orders fairly efficiently

  • Make ordering an Apple Watch a positive experience

    On April 10th I ordered an Apple Watch. I received a confirmation email of my order and then .... nothing. Well guys, you could have turned my order into a more Apple-like experience. Why would you not allow me to get more delivery info (e.g. latest week number for delivery) by letting me submit order details? Or why not send me an update mail every week, with more info on my new purchase? In that way you don't only inform me about the greatness of my purchase but also turn me into an Apple Watch ambassador. The good news: it is not too late yet!

    If they ever decide to to that, I hope it's opt in. The last thing I need or want is more marketing email, even from Apple. Once I get my Apple Watch, I will decide how great it is (or isn't) and tell people accordingly. I'm not going to try to talk anyone into buying something I haven't yet used.

    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • USING TEMPLATE IN A DIFFERENT DATA SOURCE BUT WITH THE SAME GL QUBE

    Hi, I want to chance connection in a SV Workbook to another data source. As we are having several test instances I need to be able to use the same Query workbook on different instances.
    I've not been able to reproduce the steps to get the SV to ask for the new instance/source.
    Below is what I did before but can't get to work again. Please advice
    1. Open Excel and Open the SV Template you want to use that containing a different Shared URL (You can check this with (T) Smat View > Sheet Info. Login as User/PW: Casey.Brown/<weekly PW>
    2. Make sure SV Options Shared Connection URL is set to point to the new instance SV > Options > Advanced > Shared Connections URL, for example 'https://fapXXXX-bi.oracleads.com/workspace/SmartViewProviders' (B) OK
    3. Open Smart View Panel Navigator > Open > Smart View Panel
    4. Select a 'Recently Used' connection in the Panel that points to the new instance. If you don't have it create one by connecting to your new instance and then Disconnect All.
    5. In the Login to Fusion Applications window login as User/PW: Casey.Brown/<weekly PW>
    (B) Sign In
    NOTE: You have to click on button Sign In. You cannot press enter on keyboard as this makes the login window to pop up again. This is a known issue.
    6. In the Connect to Data Source pop up window login as User/PW: Casey.Brown/<weekly PW>
    (B) Connect
    A pop up window 'Smart View' will pop up: 'The worksheet contains data from prior operation. What do you want to do with the contents of the sheet?
    -> Clear sheet contents and POV
    -> Reuse sheet contents only (Free operation will take place, existiong POV will be lost.)
    -> Reuse sheet contents and POV (New ad hoc connection/Smart Slice must be consistent wit existing contents.)
    7. Select 'Reuse sheet contents and POV
    Depending on seeded data member changes you may receive 'Input Grid contains unknown Memebers' pop up window.
    (B) OK
    If you get above you need to correct unvalid members.
    For example removing Budget-Budget and replace it with Budget- for the Scenario dimension. Then you will be able to use the sheet with the new data source.
    Please advice on what step is needed to get the system to provide the pop up window 'Smart View': 'The worksheet contains data from prior operation. What do you want to do with the contents of the sheet?
    Thanks,
    Max.

    You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage music and videos among different computer/iTunes libraries. See:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    If you want to change syncing computers see:

    If all the media is in the iTunes library of the second computer then you can omit the transferring media steps.

  • ITunes and App Store not connecting with Apple id after iOS 8

    After updating to iOS 8.0.2, I have tried updating apps and buying music but nothing happens on my iPhone 5 or my iPad.  Can someone help with this?  All it shows it the rotating circle saying it's looking or working or whatever but even after logging in with the Apple id nothing works.  I can connect my phone to the computer and things update but still shows on phone/iPad after that I still need to update apps.

    Hi , 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I am sorry to hear that you cannot connect to or download from the iTunes and App Stores. There are some very good troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please follow the steps and information in the article below. 
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • Has anyone found bluetooth headphones that successfully pair with Apple Watch (not Beats)

    I've been trying to pair the Apple Watch with a few different bluetooth headphones including LG and Kinivo without success. Not really interested in buying another set of bluetooth headphones or dropping $200 on them. Any one have success pairing Apple Watch with any bluetooth device?

    I have the Jaybird Bluebuds X and while I did get them to pair with the Watch, it required me to tell my iPhone 6 to forget the device. Normally I have it paired in Bluetooth settings to both my iPad Mini and iPhone, and while it attempt to pair with the last paired device, just going into Bluetooth Settings  and tapping connect will switch device.
    But apparently that won't work with the Watch - as I said I had to tell the iPhone to forget this device first.
    But what annoyed me even more was after getting it to pair with the Watch, when I attempted to play music using the Glances music app, the music played through the iPhone speaker. Sort of understand this as I don't have any music synced to my Watch and generally have the Bluebuds paired directly to the iPhone.
    Not sure if I did something wrong - might get around to playing around with it again.

  • Health App: How to work with exported xml?

    Hello,
    is there a simple way to process exported (xml) data from health app?
    I've tried it in Excel, but some of the collected data, like heartbeat rate, is strangely formatted. It’s a real pain to reformat and process that data in Excel, and it accelerates my heartbeat too ;-) .
    If someone knows a more simple way it would be nice if you can share it?
    Thanks a lot.

    You might have to tweak this code some to get it to work, but it should at least lay the groundwork for solving your problem:
    Code Snippet
    /* Declare an XmlNode object and initialize it with the XML response from the GetListItems method. The last parameter specifies the GUID of the Web site containing the list. Setting it to null causes the Web site specified by the Url property to be used.*/
                System.Xml.XmlNode nodeListItems =
                    MyListsService.GetListItems
                    (listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions, null);
    System.Xml.XmlDocument xd = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
    xd.LoadXml(nodeListItems.OuterXml);
    System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager nm = new System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager(xd.NameTable);
    nm.AddNamespace("rs", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset");
    nm.AddNamespace("z", "#RowsetSchema");
    nm.AddNamespace("rootNS", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap");
    System.Xml.XmlNodeList nl = xd.SelectNodes("/rootNS:listitems/rs:data/z:row", nm);
    foreach(System.Xml.XmlNode listItem in nl)
      listBoxProsjekter.Items.Add(listItem.OuterXml);
    I hope this helps!

  • Exporting Health app data

    I would like to use the Health app to record my daily blood glucose test results, but there doesn't seem to be any way to generate a report on the results for my doctor or export the data to a CSV or any other type of file. My doctor's practice is not set up yet to receive electronic results, so I still need to give him a hard-copy report. If anyone has figured this out, please let me know.

    I had the same question. I couldn't figure out how to import xml data to Numbers or Excel for Mac 2011, but I found a way in LibreOffice using their Spreadsheet. I saved the xml file to the desktop, then opened a new spreadsheet in LibreOffice. Under the Data menu I selected XML Source. Click on the folder icon under "Source File" and find your xml file. In the window labeled "Map to Document", scroll down to "Record" and highlight it. This should highlight all the data labels related to your records (type, source, unit, value, etc.). In the "Mapped Cell" window, type "A1", then click Import. At this point, you can format as you like, or copy data to Numbers or Excel if you're more comfortable there.
    Some notes on this:
    (1) I couldn't find a way to edit the dates into a more readable format as M UND M describes for Excel. Since I measure daily, I just entered the date for the first day, then grabbed the lower right corner of the cell and dragged it down the column to fill in the dates myself. Or you could save the Libre file as a xlsx and then maybe M's instructions will work.
    (2) Not sure if anyone else was this clumsy, but I had trouble finding a way to get the xml file in Health. You can't go straight from "Blood Pressure", "Heart Rate", etc. You have to go to "All" under Health Data and import a bunch of data you might not want. You can edit this out directly in the xml file (if you have access to Xcode or other software), or delete it after it's pasted into your spreadsheet.
    (3) This is why I have 3 different types of spreadsheet software. None of them do everything I want!
