    Why doesn’t Touch ID work when I’m on the treadmill

    this really bothers me, I need to know why this is happening. Every time I’m on the treadmill Touch ID does not work when I have it lying down on the treadmill in front of me. It will only take the pass code or I have to stop the treadmill for it to work. I just want to know why, I looked this...

    How sensitive is the Touch ID on my MacBook

    I use it exclusively, and it never fails, so I question how accurate it is. No-one else is privy to my computer, but I'd like to be assured it's near fail-safe, just in case. I used to work at a place that required the whole palm to enter, and quite often I'd have to redo. My only basis for...

    Touch ID button

    I received a MacBook Air yesterday and my kid was messing around with the Touch ID button. I thought you could not press this down like an actual button but now it presses down just like the rest of the keys. Is this normal or has my kid messed it up? Thanks

    Authenticating System Preferences with Touch ID?

    I have been using Touch ID for a while, installing new software, enabling sudo auth, Apple Pay, login in. Sudo auth was a deal breaker actually, it is fast, safe and you can even enable some SSH features from Linux servers. But I can't change my privacy or login items without typing my pass...

    iPad Pro with FaceID

    iOS 12 for iPad with its new gestures really have me wanting a new iPad with no home button and FaceID. I love the new home gesture but can't get over having to place my finger on the slow touchID button on my iPad Air 2. Is anyone else excited for a bezel-less iPad Pro?!

    Touch ID stops on late 2016 MBP

    I have a late '16 MBP running High Sierra and keep OS updated. For a while, I have found it necessary to clear Touch ID and reenter my finger scan because it periodically, and for no apparent reason, ceases to recognize the scan. The Touch ID scan input pad is not dirty, nor is my finger, yet it...

    iPhone X Missed Touch ID on iPhone X

    I'm disappointed. I love Touch ID. Touch ID is my favorite security for Tablet and Phone. iPhone X using Face ID instead of Touch ID. iPhone X (2017) has completely removed Touch ID Hi Apple, please add Touch ID to 2018 iPhones and iPads.

    Face ID - Skip the Lock Screen

    Some of us fly by the notification screen very often. I very much want Apple to implement THE OPTION, I stress the option of allowing a similar scenario to Touch ID's "rest to wake." Wake > Look > Home Screen. A completely hands free path to the home screen seems awesome.

    After using the iPhone 8 plus for a few days I noticed that the phone often stays on the lock screen when I press the home button to wake and unlock it. I'm very used to unlocking the iPad Pro this way and this is why I noticed the difference on the 8 plus. The iPad Pro always manage to unlock...
