Can't set up a passcode on watch to use apple pay

Hi, the watch is asking for a passcode to let me use apple pay. I tried with a short passcode but it asked for a minimum of 6 numbers. I keep entering it but I tap OK and it never works. Anyone else in this situation?

her's an update/fix:
I spent 2 hr. today at the Apple Store and we got to the bottom of it.
My employer uses Google Mail and implements a policy that requires complex pass codes (6 digits, alphanumeric).  It seems that the Watch pass codes are numeric.  When setting the Watch pass code, it never completes (e.g. don't get prompted to re-enter the six digit pass code). 
We resolved the problem by 1) removing my employers email account on the iPhone 2) establish a simple pass code on the iPhone 3) set a numeric pass code on the Watch 4) complete the Apple Pay set up and 5) restoring the employer email account + complex pass code on the iPhone.
Hope this helps some of you.

  • How can I set a new passcode?

    How can I set a new passcode.  I cannot remember my old passcode and now I can't get in.  I can get phone calls and see text when it's sent to me but am unable to use. Help me please!!!!!

    The only answer for that is RESTORE your iPhone using any functioning computer with iTunes. Yes, you are going to loose all the data,
    Actually, wrong!!  If you try to restore using a computer the phone hasn't synced with, you'll have to enter the passcode into iTunes during the restore.
    In my experience, the most effective method for people who simultaneously "forget" the passcode that they had to use many times a day, and mysteriously lose access to the computer the phone synced with, is to ask the rightful owner for the passcode or return the phone to him.
    There is another method involving recovery mode, but the OP is on his own for that.
    Question:  Is is better to let your data "loose", or lose your data?

  • Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    I too don't like this. I would like to be able to use Touch ID for purchases on the App Store, Apple Pay, & Apple Store without having to use a passcode to unlock my phone. Why not allow the Touch ID to be app specific? Let us use it when we need it, not force us to use it for everything or nothing at all. That ***** that you have to set up a Passcode for your phone if you want to use Apple Pay. I didn't know about that. I haven't set that up yet because I'm waiting for them to support my credit card. Now I'm thinking I may not use Apple Pay. What a pain! Come on Apple, let us pick and choose what we want to lock down on our phones!!!

  • Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

    Hello EireReality. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
    No, at least not that I'm aware of. Setting a "default home page" is typical feature of a web browser, not an Internet router.

  • How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    Hi,
    I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
    What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
    How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
    All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

  • Why can you not use Apple Pay for purchases in the App Store or iTunes?

    To make a purchases in the App Store or iTunes, it appears you can only pay by entering Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or AmEx information.   If you select none and try to make a purchase, you will again be prompted to enter this information.  I would like to use my Apple Pay account to pay for Apps/tunes, but that doesn't  seem possible.  It seems this negates one of the primary benefits of Apple Pay, which is to make purchases without turning over your credit card information to the merchant, in this case Apple.  I know you can pay with Touch ID, but that is only authoring payment from your credit card information you have on file.

    Hello ToastyFlake,
    It sounds like you are wanting to use ApplePay to purchase content from either the iTunes or App Stores. According to the following article, you are correct. ApplePay is for in-app (if the app supports it) or purchasing from a retail store. 
    Set up and use Apple Pay
    Pay with Apple Pay in stores
    On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you can use Apple Pay in stores that accept contactless payments. Look for one of these symbols at checkout:
    Pay with Apple Pay in apps
    On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, you can use Apple Pay to pay within apps when you see the “Buy with Apple Pay” or “Apple Pay”  button as a payment method. Look for these buttons in apps:
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Can I use Apple Pay with any NFC terminal that accepts it?

    Hi ..

  • Can I use Apple Pay at any store that has an NFC reader or has that merchant had to have signed up to accept Apple Pay?

    Can I use Apple Pay at any store that has an NFC reader (with no Apple Pay logo) or has that merchant had to have signed up to accept Apple Pay?

    If the merchant accepts contactless payments, you should be able to use any contactless payment option (which includes Apple Pay).
    Some merchants (like CVS) have NFC readers but they have been deactivated because they are a member of a competing payment system (Current C).
