Macally recommends gently cleaning the exterior surface of Macally keyboards, mice, cables and wires regularly with a 70% alcohol wipe or disinfecting wet wipe. Never spray cleaning solutions directly on the keyboards or mice, instead spray the alcohol or a disinfecting solution on a paper towel or microfiber cloth and use the towel/cloth to wipe down your devices gently and on a regular basis. Please avoid getting moisture in device ports and openings and never submerge the keyboard, mouse or any Macally electronic devices into water or cleaning solutions.

It is like the battle of the two giants – iOS & Android. Yes, they are absolutely identical in their own offerings but they are in a constant race to go one above the other when it comes to market share! TouchID fingerprint sensor (to unlock Mac using iPhone’s Touch ID) is one area that Apple scores head and shoulders above their Android counterparts and it is this feature that really puts Apple on the map. In fact, Android does not have a feature that in line comes close to iPhone’s Touch ID.
Apple is relying heavily on Touch ID and if you have an iPhone 5s or later model, you would know that Apple wanted to keep the technology only to itself. There weren’t any third party applications that went through it and though it could have been possible – it never happened. Now though, it looks different. Apple is launching the service for developers and they would be able to integrate Touch ID (Use iPhone or iPad Touch as Mouse-Keyboard for Computer) into their applications. This means that Touch ID would be possible for many different purposes: locking and unlocking iOS devices, making payments, confirming bookings and a host of other options.
About FingerKey app
Unlocking you Mac is the key advantage here and this is completed using software called FingerKey. The app uses the TouchID to unlock your Mac and so far it is not made for Windows or Linux. It is in process and testing stages are still underway. The FingerKey application costs just about $1.99 right now and it can be found on the official iTunes store at: Install FingerKey App from iTunes
In this article, we shall understand the features of FingerKey app as well as the guide to Unlock Mac using iPhone’s Touch ID with FingerKey.
It can be made to work with your device as long as it is on iOS 8 and later versions. Aimersoft dvd ripper 4 2 0 5 sezonas. The application is extremely easy to use and though it has been developed keeping the iPhone 5s in mind (since it was the first phone with TouchID), it works just fine with others too. You must ensure that your devices have working Bluetooth connections to make the application work. If this being the case, the FingerKey application works on any device that supports TouchID! To sum it up, FingerKey app enables Mac users to unlock PC from a distance using Apple’s Touch ID finger print sensor on their iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, or iPhone 6 Plus devices.
Then, you can complete the setup process to pair your iPhone and the Mac together. You need to launch the application, which of course can be done using the notification center widget present, place your finger on the Touch ID and then unlock your Mac from anywhere you are with a simple tap on the relevant device name on iPhone i.e. unlock your bluetooth-enabled Mac from iPhone using FingerKey.
After that, you have to provide your Touch ID on your iPhone or any other iOS device to unlock your Mac. It does add a convenience factor that you can unlock your Mac from wherever you are in the Bluetooth range.
Now, that we have answered your query of how to unlock Mac using FingerKey application, I am sure you would be thinking why should one use FingerKey app to unlock Mac from iPhone. It is not always safe to type passwords when someone is around. Also, it could be time-consuming if you have lengthy passwords (which is a norm these days as you need to have strong passwords to be secured). And considering the number of passwords we have to remember, it is a pain. This is where FingerKey app proves useful, especially if you are the kind of person that forgets your password often. Even better if you have a long and tough password to type and have to press a lot of keys to unlock your Mac. You don’t have to type the password again when your Mac gets locked next time. In fact, you can even unlock it from a distance and login to your Mac. And to top it all, it has a quick one-time setup process after you purchase FingerKey at a cheap price from iTunes link shared above.
The application is definitely a positive one when it comes to feature on the Mac (if you’re a Mac user the you would also like to run WhatsApp on your MAC) but going ahead it could bring out better uses with Touch ID. There’s no doubt that Apple would be looking at making Touch ID more accessible and bring out better uses of it, how would it be done? That is key to watch!
