- If your Apple Watch has trouble counting steps correctly, start by cleaning the rear sensors of your watch with some rubbing alcohol.
- Should it not work, check if your Apple Watch wrist orientation is correct.

Basic Fixes
- Clean Rear Sensors: Dirty Apple Watch sensors can prevent footsteps from being counted or cause them to be counted improperly. So, we suggest cleaning the sensor with rubbing alcohol and cotton.
- Restart Your Apple Watch: When in doubt, restart. So, if your Apple Watch is not tracking your footsteps correctly, start the solution hunt with a simple restart.
- Wear the Watch snugly: The watch tracks your steps using accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. If the watch is loose, your Apple Watch may misreport your step count.
Fix 1: Connect the Watch to iPhone
Your Apple Watch may not track step counts properly due to sync issues. To sync the devices, bring the Control Center . Then, check whether Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles are turned on.
Fix 2: Select the Correct Wrist
Apple’s Health app requires you to specify on which wrist you would wear the watch. If you wear the Apple Watch on the incorrect wrist, it may count steps inaccurately. Fret not, as you can change the wrist on which you wear your watch through simple steps. Here’s how.
Open the Watch App > go to the General section > tap on Watch Orientation > select the correct watch orientation .
Fix 3: Calibrate Your Apple Watch
Calibrating your Apple Watch can help you attain an improved pace, aiding in step tracking. Here’s how to calibrate your Apple Watch.
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Scroll down and tap on Privacy & Security > select Location Services .
Step 2: Now, ensure the toggle for Location Services is turned on. Further, tap on System Services . Then, turn on the toggle for Motion Calibration & Distance .
Now, while wearing your Apple Watch, go to an outdoor location with clear skies. Note that if you have the Series 1 Apple Watch, carry your iPhone along. Open the Fitness app on your Watch and opt for an Outdoor Walk or Run.
After finishing your workout, we must reset the calibration data. To do so, open the Watch app on your iPhone. Scroll down and tap on Privacy . Then tap on Reset Fitness Calibration Data to complete the calibration process.

- Saving your Google Docs document as a PDF can be helpful if the printing issue is isolated to a specific file.
- Disabling extensions and clearing the browser cache is an effective method for resolving printing problems in Google Docs.
- If the printing issue persists across applications and programs, you may need to troubleshoot the connection between your printer and computer.
Fix 1: Check the Printer Connection and Select the Right Printer
You must perform some basic hardware checks to ensure everything is hooked up. Check if the cable connecting your computer to the printer is securely plugged in. While you’re at it, restart your printer to resolve any temporary glitches.
If more than one printer is available, ensure you send print requests to the correct printer. Press Ctrl + P to summon the print dialog. Use the drop-down menu next to Destination to select the correct printer device and click on Print .
Fix 2: Save the Document as a PDF and Print It
If Google Docs’ printing issue is limited to one odd file, save it as a PDF and print it. To do this, click the File menu at the top left corner and select Download > PDF document (.pdf) .
Open the downloaded file in a PDF viewer, and you should be able to print it without any issues.
Fix 3: Disable Browser Extensions
There’s a chance that one of your browser extensions is causing the problem. To verify this possibility, disable all browser extensions and enable them one by one.
In your browser, type chrome://extensions (Chrome) or edge://extensions (Edge) in the address bar and press Enter . Use the toggles to turn off all extensions.
After this, restart your browser and enable all extensions one by one. Print a test page from Google Docs after enabling each extension to identify the one causing the issue.
Fix 4: Clear Browser Cache
Old browser cache can also affect a browser’s performance and prevent it from communicating with your printer. So, if disabling browser extensions does not help, clearing the existing browser cache should be your next step.
To clear browsing data in Chrome or Edge, press Ctrl + Shift + Delete to open the Clear Browsing Data panel. Use the drop-down menu next to Time Range to select All time and mark the box for Cached images and files .
Then, hit the Clear now button.
Restart your browser and print your Google Docs document again.
Note : If the issue persists, there might be a problem with the browser. Try printing your Google Docs document from another browser. If you can print it, consider updating or reinstalling your previous browser to fix its issues.
