How Apple can bring the Touch Bar and Touch ID to desktop Macs If the Touch Bar really can’t ever be used except on your laptop’s built-in keyboard, it's hard to see it becoming a Mac staple. Available space is less and varies due to many factors. A standard configuration uses approximately 10GB to 12GB of space (including iOS and preinstalled apps) depending on the model and settings. Preinstalled apps use about 4GB, and you can delete these apps and restore them. Compared with the previous-generation iPod touch. Touch ID is an electronic fingerprint recognition feature, designed and released by Apple Inc., that allows users to unlock devices, make purchases in the various Apple digital media stores (the iTunes Store, the App Store, and the Apple Books Store), and authenticate Apple Pay online or in apps.
So just got a new Macbook Pro 13' (3.5 ghz, 512GB, 16GB) and it's lovely – if it wasn't for the fact that there seems to be something wrong with Touch ID. When I set it up (ie. register fingers) it works flawlessly. And when I use it to unlock the Mac after it's been asleep, it's fine. It's also fine when I use it the first time after a boot, but any subsequent attempts to use it fails. That is when I eg. try and move and audio unit component out of the Library and I'm asked to OK it with Touch ID. Nothing happens. I have to opt to use my password instead. That in itself is tedious, but it gets worse. I cannot use Touch ID for booting the Mac neither! If I shut it down via the Apple menu or a key shortcut, the only way of turning it back on is to close and open the lid. Obviously that *sounds* a bit like a hardware problem with the Touch ID, but I'm not convinced that that's the case, given that registering fingers is working perfectly and that it's 100% reproducable that it works as expected for waking and for the first attempt after a boot (and only then).
- Apple reserves the right to refuse or limit the quantity of any device for any reason. In the Apple Store: Offer only available on presentation of a valid, government-issued photo ID (local law may require saving this information). Value of your current device may be applied toward purchase of a new Apple device.
- P-touch Editor for Mac is a free app for Brother label and mobile printers. It allows you to design and print custom labels using built-in drawing tools to create various font and text styles, import images, and insert barcodes. Compatible models (P-touch Editor Ver.5.3.1) QL-800, QL-810W, QL-8.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Resetting PRAM. No difference.
2. Running Apple Diagnostics. Nothing to report.
3. Booting in Safe Mode (where I don't think Touch ID actually works anyway, so a bit of wasted time)
4. Installing 10.13.2 combo update on top of the existing 10.13.2 High Sierra. No difference.
5. Creating a new user and starting from that. Same problem.
I would like to reset the SMC as well, but the problem is that you need to use the power button for that on the Macbook Pro – and the Touch ID switch acts as a double for the power button, so I have no real way of knowing if it's registering that I'm holding down shift, ctrl, option and power for 15 seconds or not. Anyway, if it does register, it certainly doesn't help.
I'm a bit stuck here. Contacted Apple Support here in Denmark who suggested that I take it to the shop where I bought it. They didn't really seem to know their **** though, and I'm worried about taking it to the shop, cause if it's NOT a hardware problem, I'll be charged for them checking it.
Any ideas anybody?
