Thanks for sharing. I expected more than 8 videos to be taking up that much space. Must be mostly apps then?

Yeah, a lot of those games are like 1-2GB each.

That's why I use iTunes Match. Although I'm reconsidering it due to some bugs.

I can't use iTunes match, I'm over the 25,000 song limit in my library :( It won't let me sign up even if I wanted to pay more for it.

Oops. I missed the 8 videos part. Must be really big videos...

They're actually just short video clips I've taken with the camera, no full length movies or anything on there :eek:
 
k this needs to be put to rest. They have to SIGN UP for :apple:pay!!!! lol thats why Tim showed what stores were PARTICIPATING lol......

It certainly does. Your facts are incomplete and misunderstood. Put it to rest. Study up on what actually happens when you swipe or wave a credit card. Maybe then you will understand.
 
Fixes an issue that could prevent connections to Bluetooth hands-free devices

I sure hope this also covers the Bluetooth issues relating to pairing and playback/control issues with people's cars, like my Ford SYNC.

Stop spreading misinformation. Stores only need to accept NFC payments.

To address what you said -- The point of Apple showing the so-called partner stores was just meant as a list of stores that Apple worked with to ensure that ALL of their store locations have NFC terminals. That's all.

NFC terminals. Not some magical Apple Pay specifically enabled terminal.

EDIT: Look at the documentation on the website, look at what people are posting here. The pictures of what to look for that people are posting here. It says to look for the NFC contactless payment logo. Look for the logo. The universal logo. It doesn't say look for an apple pay logo. It doesn't say look for our participating list. Look for the logo that has existed for contactless payments for years.

Good luck using it at stores that have not signed up or opted in. Thats why stores have REFUSED it you

" Questions have remained, however, about how willing other retailers will be to sign on to the program and how quickly those that do will be able to get up and running. "


"For those retailers considering joining Apple Pay, however, it appears that Apple has timed its rollout perfectly. As highlighted by Pando Daily, Apple is taking advantage of regulatory changes that essentially require merchants to deploy new payment hardware in their retail stores over the coming year. This mass upgrade by over nine million merchants is the result of an updated credit card liability policy adopted by major credit card companies."

"In the wake of Apple's announcement, several major retailers such as Walmart and Best Buy were in fact quick to state that they do not plan to support Apple Pay, as noted by The Wall Street Journal"

Updating now. Our Pepsi machine here at work has an NFC reader on it. Have used it in the past with a Nexus 5 and Google Wallet. As soon as my update installs I will go try the iPhone with it.

You have 25k that aren't in Apple's iTunes library? Most of your songs probably don't apply to the 25k, that's the number only for those Apple doesn't already have.
 
No fingerprints? I have a 6; Touch ID works 95% of the time for me (meaning it doesn't work when I have my thumb tilted way too far). Hopefully the update improves things on your phone. Or maybe you're holding it wrong... ;-).

I'd go with the other recommendation....take that iPhone to an Apple Store and have them replace it....it works darn near 100% of the time for me on my 5s and 6....so he should get his phone fixed.
 
Since we don't even have iTunes radio in Europe I wouldn't have high hopes for Apple pay to come in near future. Let's just pay insane sums of money for a device with a promise of features coming. We can't even get spotlight suggestions for movies in Denmark.
 
People are rushing out and buying things they simply do not need to test a payment method. Hopefully the economy sees a slight bump today.
 
Just added a Citi card to ApplePay (done via passbook). It had to send a text with an activation code on file to verify my identity, but the process took about 2 minutes. About to go try it on a vending machine at work that supposedly takes NFC. Report back in a few minues.


Just tried it:

Held my iPhone up to the NFC reader on the vending machine and my screen automatically turned on and asked me to authenticate with Apple Pay. I tried the Citi card twice, and it was declined (yes, I have enough available credit for a $1.60 purchase so not sure why) so maybe they're still working out the bugs. I added a Chase card and it worked.

It's pretty neat, but to be quite honest, I'm not sure if it's any faster than swiping a card.

And to clarify things: THIS WAS A REGULAR NFC-ACCEPTING SODA MACHINE. No special requirement for the merchant to support ApplePay.
 
Dude, give it a rest. Stores don't need to "sign on with Apple Pay." Apple Pay is between the iPhone and the bank. Stores just need functioning NFC readers to facilitate the transaction.

Actually, that is false. I work for a developer in the credit card industry. Apple Pay is simply the communication between your phone and the card reader (The NFC reader). The POS system then sends the encrypted information to the credit card processor, which then sends it to the bank for approval.

It's a tokenization method, much like some POS systems are tokenized. This allows you to not have to worry about your credit card getting stolen by clerks or other methods as it's encrypted from Apple to the NFC reader, but from there, acts just like a normal credit card transaction.

What this means is that the POS system needs to be capable of accepting NFC. Some POS software needs to be updated to support the latest API for NFC.
