Passbook

I agree, a remove option would be good, but I guess they want to leave them available if you ever decide to give it a try. This happened to me with Newsstand. After looking at the "dead app" on my iPad, i decided to give it a try and now I am subscribed to 5 or 6 magazines (3 of which are paid, the others are free). Pretty cool app.

LOL. Apple is so tricky.
 
i updated my ticketmaster app and i have some online tickets that i would think show up, but nothing happens. i did read that there's support for "select venues".

i have two united airlines flights this week, it'd be cool if i could get this to work to try it out.
 
Whenever I open passport and click on the "app store" button at the bottom of the first page it says "Cannot connect to iTunes." I have tried sucessfully to get into iTunes via its app, and under setting I checked to make sure my iTunes name and passowrd are in fact entered.

Any ideas? Why do I need to get into iTunes for Passport at all?

same here. that and the genius function in the app store are not working.
 
Looks like the iTunes store button in passport works now.

Fandango
Live Nation
Lufthansa
MLB.Com At Bat
Sephora to Go
Ticketmaster
Walgreens

are the options available now.
 
If passbook is no displaying anything when you click App Store then reset the device (hold power + home). That worked for me.

Tried that. But I still get the "Cannot connect to iTunes store" message.

Hopefully it'll all get worked out before too long.
 
PassBook

Same here, we have two iPhone 4s' and one iPhone 4 and one iPod Touch 4G, the iPod is the only one it's working on.
 
same here - I have a delta flight on saturday, i am hoping to get it working by then!!
 
someone should start a thread keeping track of all the passbook enabled apps. Once you install 1 card, it prevents you from viewing the itunes link where it shows the supported apps.

This will only help spread the technology.
 
I must be stoopid

I guess I'm not getting how it (Passbook) works. I have apps (including a Starbucks card that I use) that are Passbook compatible. Yet everytime I open Passbook it just sends me to the App Store. Please help?
 
Hmmm....

I still cant figure passbook out. I have a Starbucks account with the digital card and money on it and all but it doesn't show up in Passbook at all. And I see no where to go to add that. How do you add **** on this app???

yea i was coming to post the same thing.

i have fandango app, but when i click on passbook app, it doesn't show the apps there... i have to physically click on app store. I feel like im also missing something, because shouldn't the compatible apps just show up when you open passbook?
 
from the looks of it it looks like it functions this way:

1) Install an app that uses passbook (I tested with walgreens)
2) Register for something that would allow you to add a card to passbook (I just registered for the rewards card)
3) When it asks to add to passbook, choose it.
4) When you open passbook now, it has your card there getting updates from whoever created it.


It kinda stinks you need the app to use the passbook features, i was kinda hoping to just have passbook without any of the random apps. But still hopefully that will help people get started.

Also i dont see where starbucks has updated their app to support it quite yet

You don't - you'll need to wait for the App developer - Starbucks in your (and mine) case, to update their App to Support Passbook.

This will (surely) happen in the next few days.

Once that's done, the organisation will then be available in Passbook.
