Q: Can't Set Up Apple Pay- iPhone 5S
On my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.3 I am in the My Watch> Passbook & Apple Pay to set Apple Pay up. I tapped Add Credit or Debit Card and get the following error: "Could not Connect to Apple Watch. Make sure your Apple Watch is nearby, powered on, and not in airplane mode."
I tried to add a credit card this morning and got this same error even though my Apple Watch was paired and I would play music on my iPhone, so I knew it was paired, powered on, and not in airplane mode. I decided to unpair and pair the two again, which I did successfully, but I still get the same error. I've looked through my settings on the Watch and everything looks fine, and I've searched online to see if anyone else is having the problem yet, but I haven't found anything.
I've tried on both Mirror my iPhone and Custom with no success, and I've looked through the settings on my iPhone but didn't see anything that would indicate the two wouldn't communicate.
Any thoughts or ideas? I am sure I am missing something relatively simple, but can't figure out what.
Thanks,
Tim
