Apple Releases iOS 8.1 With Apple Pay Support, SMS Relay, Camera Roll, and More

[BeyondtheTech]

Im trying to get it on my macbook but nothing shows up to resend the code.

Log out of Messages on your MacBook, then log back in and try again from your iPhone.

Handoff not working for me.

Bluetooth enabled on iPhone 6 and Mac, same iCloud account.

No icon on Dock on Mac and no icon on Lock screen or in Multitasking on iPhone.

Did you turn handoff on in settings->general->Handoff & Suggested Apps?

Has anyone had any luck yet with the changing cellular data between 2G, 3G and LTE? Have a 5s and not finding.

I had to put mine into airplane mode for a second but it found LTE after that.

So, my PNC and AMEX cards aren't yet supported. Are banks rolling these out slowly today? My Chase Visa automatically enrolled.

Just tried to put in like 5 different credit cards and none worked... what the hell

So we will likely have to wait for the next iOS update.

Bank support is added in the backend. It is doubtful a iOS update it necessary. That is why when you add a card it connects to their servers to verify it.

And to clarify things: THIS WAS A REGULAR NFC-ACCEPTING SODA MACHINE. No special requirement for the merchant to support ApplePay.

Thanks for the report. Maybe it will shut up some of the people spreading FUD on this thread.

Got my JetBlue AMEX card accepted into Apple Pay, but my GM MasterCard is not yet supported.

Great, Safari on iPad stuck in infinite loop, home button doesn't work and can't shut down either

Corporate AmEx

UGH! Corporate American Express cards aren't allowed, neither is Georgia's Own credit union! So I'm only able to use my Delta AmEx (which I NEVER use) so I guess I won't be using Apple Pay as much as I was hoping.

 

[Mazeman]

Well THAT was seamless.

Even adding the credit cards was slick (Thank you AMEX and BOA).

No problems so far...

Make sure you're on the same WiFi network as well.

Only getting phone calls on your Mac requires both devices be on the same wifi network. Handoff doesn't require it.

Credit Card not verifying

Verification of my "Major" Credit card not working.! Looks like a major bug! Probably will take some time for the credit card to fix. A Debit card wants me to download software to verify a debit card? How safe is that?? No way!!!
Not looking safe at the moment! Looks like trouble right from the start!!!

SMS relay works

 

[iapplelove]

Is this iOS 8 update safe to update to?

Go right ahead!

Wrong again! New banks will happen behind the scenes. The technology to add cards is already in this update.

 

[SMIDG3T]

Did you turn handoff on in settings->general->Handoff & Suggested Apps?

Yep. Done all that.

Turned on Handoff on iPhone and Mac.
Turned on Bluetooth on both devices.
Same iCloud account.
Same Wi-Fi network.

Nothing!

 

[lotzosushi]

I was wondering the same. I have 90GB free on mine.

lol there's a reason why I spent more on the 128GB version, I always have like 5GB left on my devices. =/ There's no point in getting the biggest model if you're not going to need or be able to use most of it!

 

[17MBPC2D]

Chase card provisioned quickly and checkout of Walgreens in a swift!

Capital One however is having issues provisioning card into Apple Pay

 

[petvas]

sign out of your iCloud on the mac device sign back in----reprompt code.

Completely or just in Messages? I have no intention whatsoever to sign off completely. I logged off from Messages but nothing happened

 

[sbbrown333]

TD Bank not supported. Just tried to add it. I think I need a new bank now.

Same here. "Most Convenient Bank" is now the least convenient of the major banks.

 

[supertonic]

Won't finish installing on iPad 4.
Stuck on the Apple logo...Force restarting doesn't help & gets stuck again on Apple logo!

Handoff not working for me.

Bluetooth enabled on iPhone 6 and Mac, same iCloud account.

No icon on Dock on Mac and no icon on Lock screen or in Multitasking on iPhone.

Same issue. Cannot pair the two devices. Brutal.

Let me know if you find a fix.

 

[Biedz1216]

OMFG i get it! and i've explained what iw as trying to say a million times. Apples website does a god damn wonderful job i don't understand where the questions are. i just don't. THE ONLY THING i was trying to say was stores are making it seem like to the general consumer that they can opt out of apple pay to me if i was just a general consumer whether that means in reality they are just opting out of having nfc transactions is irrelevant was is relevant as an apple consumer is where will MY APPLE PAY work. not my NFC TRANSACTING DEVICE.

Shut up troll. It give you a number to call to verify as well in case you are too scared to download an app from the Appstore.

Thank you apple ..... NOT .. yet another US only function

Just like iTunes Radio, Apple Pay seems to be US only

I'm in the UK, and despite the UK (and the rest of Europe) having had NFC for ages, the 8.1 update does not even let us add a card to it

Given Apples lack of speed in rolling out things outside the USA, I think I will be seriously considering Android next time I get a new phone (as at least Google rolls things out outside of the USA)
