Did you find a solution to the maxed out cars (12) I am having the same issue

Not yet, I`ll get back to you if I figure it out.

Not yet, I`ll get back to you if I figure it out.

I tried again this morning and it was working, not sure if I did anything, but Wednesday i tried multiple times and kept getting the 12 card message,
This morning when i went to wallet a screen popped up asking me for the ccv# for the card I had set up for Apple charges, entered it and screen froze, did a force quit, went back to wallet and the card was set up, tried entering 2 new card for test purposes and they were accepted

Speaking of Bridge OS...

Has anyone having this Apple Pay problem also noticed another problem I *think* might be related? (Or could just be a T2/Bridge OS issue).

Twice in the last 2 weeks while I've been trying to fix Apple Pay I've also had problems with

• Safari hanging opening preferences (especially the privacy pane)
• Web sites that use ApplePay causing Safari to freeze
• Messages being slow to open

In every case, I've noticed in the same log messages referring to nfrestore_service (see below). It times out after a minute.

Aug 1 16:48:42 nfrestore_service[2236]: DEPRECATED USE in libdispatch client: Setting timer interval to 0 requests a 1ns timer, did you mean FOREVER (a one-shot timer)?
Aug 1 16:49:42 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.nfrestore_service[2236]): Service exited with abnormal code: 255

The only way I've been able to fix it (at least temporarily) is to do an SMC reset.
It's done this 3 or 4 times in the last 2 weeks.

I'm having this exact same problem on my 2018 15" MBP, particularly with the Messages app taking a minute to load. Also getting the same error messages in system.log for nfrestore_service. Have you found any fixes yet?

Have you installed today's High Sierra "Supplemental Update 2" yet? I wonder if that will fix it...

If not, an SMC reset fixes it temporarily, but I don't have a permanent fix yet. I have an open issue I raised with Apple support (they've sent details to engineers, don't have a response yet). I'll update this thread if I get any more info:

I went through the hassle yesterday of wiping my drive and reinstalling the OS from scratch. Also installed the Supplemental Update 2. No issues so far, but then again I didn't have issues the first two weeks of ownership so we'll see... Thanks for the reply! Will follow that thread in Apple discussions.

I’ve just installed the latest update and it fixed this issue for me - Wallet and Apple Pay now shows up in System Preferences and I was able to set up my credit card on my 2018 MacBook Pro.

For ease of reading the problem can be identified by opening the Terminal app and pasting in the following command:

defaults read .GlobalPreferences PKSecureElementAvailableFlags

If Terminal responds with:

1

rather than the correct value of:

3

Then the fault is with this flag value and the following command should be pasted into Terminal:

defaults write .GlobalPreferences PKSecureElementAvailableFlags -int 3

You can check this value again by repeating:

defaults read .GlobalPreferences PKSecureElementAvailableFlags

The Wallet appeared in the System Preferences pane immediately after this command but it took me a restart to get it to accept a new card (a log out/in may have also worked).

Full credit to Einkoro, mjrit and a few others.

I did all that - CODE: is now 3 (it was CODE: 1) - but I still don't see wallet in system preferences. I restarted my Mac. Still nothing. Help.
[doublepost=1567432532][/doublepost]I did all that. CODE is now 3. Still don't see Wallet in System Preferences. Even after restart.
