Apple Pay Setup Error :(

[SiskoKid]

Anyone else get this error?

Could Not Set Up Apple Pay
An error occurred while setting up Apple Pay
OK

All I can do is click OK and try again. The same error pops up whether I try to add a credit card within Settings or within Passbook.

Is there a fix for this?

I didn't get this.

Oops has my info

Do you have Touch ID enabled AND an iPhone 6 ?

Do you have Touch ID enabled ?

Ya, I have that enabled. Everything should work. Just got off the phone with Apple Care, and they're stumped too. They asked me to reset my settings, so I'm doing that now.

 

[SiskoKid]

Resetting settings did not work

They're escalating right now. I really wanted to test this today for lunch lol

Oh well, hopefully it'll get sorted soon.

Is the Apple ID you use for iCloud also the same as for iTunes? I had a separate iCloud account from my iTunes account and I was getting the same error. I tried on the iTunes account and I was able to get through.

Maybe it's related, but ultimately they had me sign out of iCloud (which takes a few minutes since it has to remove content from the phone) and then sign back in.

That did the trick! I ended up eating McDonald's for lunch. Paying with the phone is so easy

I really f#cking hate that the solution to virtually every "connectivity" problem with iOS is to sign out of iCloud—which forces me to have to re-download everything back to my phone (I apparently have a lot more than most people, because it can take hours or days for photos to re-sync).
