Hello, i have apple tv4k with latest update and a apple watch 5 with latest update. I signed for Fitness+. When I start the fitness app i can pair my watch with the fitness+ app on apple tv without problems.
But when i choose a fitness session, my watch cant be found. So i cant start any course on apple tv.
I get always the message: Apple Watch not available… who can help???
Apple Watch, watchOS 4
Hi there ilyas245,
We understand you're experiencing an issue with your Apple Watch not pairing to your Apple TV for Apple Fitness+, and we'd like to see if we can assist.
To begin, make sure you're signed in to iCloud on both devices with the same Apple ID, and that two-factor authentication is enabled. Learn more about this feature here: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID
Also, restart your Apple TV, Apple Watch, and paired iPhone, then test again. Here's how:
Finally, you mentioned your Apple TV and Apple Watch are up to date, also make sure your iPhone is updated: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
We hope this helps.
ilyas245,
Thanks for giving those steps a try, and keeping us posted on the results.
Next, make sure you can launch and set up the Home app on your iPhone.
If so, add the Apple TV in the Home app, and try starting an Apple Fitness+ workout again.
Should the issue persists, turn Bluetooth off and back on for both the Apple Watch and paired iPhone.
Let us know what happens.
Thanks!
