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!!!

  • I recently converted from my Blackberry Torch to the Z10.  I travel a lot and use the VZ Access manager through my Torch.  Can I do the same thing through my new Z10?  I don't see that as an option on the software sight.

        Hi Atepastt,
    Congrats on your new Z10! I know having the right features is important. The Z10 uses Blackberry link software. The device uses the mobile hotspot feature to non-cord tether the device. The mobile hotspot feature is an additional cost. You can add this feature online http://vz.to/1di2TlT .

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Cheers,

  • Can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

    can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

    Essentially no.  Your watch has to connect to an iphone to be of any use.
    Once you do pair your watch and phone and you are in a known wifi area, you can turn off Bluetooth and your watch SHOULD connect directly with wifi. I've found it doesn't always connect.
    As of right now my bluetooth on the phone is OFF and I'm on wifi and can get notifications, play games, imessages, check instagram, etc etc.

    can you operate the mac book pro 15 inch with out the battery?  I read somewhere in a post that it lowers the power to about 1 gig with out the battery.  I asked apple and they said it is not true because you can use the comp with the power adapter and battery together or either by itself and it will not effect the 2.16 gig.  Thank you.

    If you remove the battery the CPU power will be cut by 50% (whatever they told you) so that there's no lack of power or overheating issues. It's best to always keep the battery in.

  • How can I enable Touch ID for Apple Pay without turning Passcode on?

    I have an iPhone 6 w/ iOS 8.1.
    I strongly dislike having to unlock my phone when I want to use it. Until I purchased the iPhone 6, I have never enabled a passcode. My phone is never out of my immediate control and when I want to access my phone, I want to access it immediately, not put in a passcode or wait for it to recognize my finger print.
    There are separate settings for "Turn Passcode On/OFF" and for enabling the use of Touch ID for Unlock/Apple Pay/iTunes. However, if you turn off passcode, All three of the Touch ID Options are immediately disabled. Unlock makes sense, as your phone would no longer be "locked". However disabling Apple Pay and especially iTunes/App Store (since those purchases require you enter your Apple ID Password, NOT the passcode!) does not make sense.
    The inconvenience of the extra unlock step every time I want to use my phone to do anything almost certainly will negate any convenience of using my phone to make purchases.
    Am I missing a configuration? If not there should be a way to use Touch ID without having an unlock passcode!

    NO in order to use the touch id, you need to enable a 4 digit passcode.
    No way around that.
    Imagine when you lose your phone and the person who has it can access anything on your phone because it's an extra step to have to use the touch id or enter the 4 digit passcode to lock/unlock your phone.

  • Can i use apple tv without a hd tv

    can i use apple tv without a hd tv

    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2) or a minimum of 480p

  • HT2589 i haven't credit card. plz tell me can i use apple id without credit card?

    is it possible to use apple id without credit card?

    There is no need to have a CC to create an apple ID. I think you meant iTunes store account. But you can create one without a CC. Just follow the this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534?viewlocale=en_US
    Good Luck!

    Hi..
    Just to be on the safe side if you have not already changed your Apple ID password, probably should do that.

    And you can use the email form for contacting Apple here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

  • 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).

  • HT5552 Can I use Apple Pay on the App store or the iTunes store?

  • Why I can't use apple pay in Puerto Rico?

    I Live in Puerto Rico, I have US credit cards and I can't setup apple pay in my iphone.

    I do not know how Apple treats Puerto Rico ... if they treat it as if you are in the U.S.  For example, do you use the U.S. Apple Store?  You would have to be treated just as if you were in the U.S. to be able to set up Apple Pay.
    For example, you cannot use Settings > General > Language & Region = "Puerto Rico" and have Apple Pay work.
