When cards are added to a device it’s sometimes referred to as tokenization. Tokens are assigned to the card when it’s added to a device. Please call the bank that issued the card and ask if they can see how many tokens are assigned to your credit or debit card. Most cards have a limit of 10 tokens. The bank should also be able to remove any excess tokens from the card.

That’s a system limitation for your protection. It’s to help with fraud etc. The card is on an account logged into another Apple ID. You can log out of the Apple ID on the device you want to add Apple Cash to and then log into your other Apple ID and if Apple Pay is setup on that device, your Apple Cash should be there. There may be a slight delay as the system recognizes the switch. A restart of your device may help if you experience a delay.

I appreciate the reply Jeff. I only have one Apple ID, 2 devices and it’s telling me to remove devices that don’t exist. Apple support hasn’t helped, restoring from different backups didn’t help nor did restoring phone and setting up as new. When I removed applecash from my iPad thinking it would help, I am now getting that exact message on my iPad. Am I misunderstanding what you wrote? Is having another apple id really the fix?


been speaking with senior advisors from apple and reps from green dot who provides Apple Cash for more than 2 hours total since Thursday . Apple wrote a ticket to engineering department that hasn’t even been looked at yet


this is what I messaged support during my latest contact this morning and what I think happened


“I keep getting this error when setting up Apple Cash.



Apple Cash is turned off on all my devices


I think what happens is when I restore my phone from backup it doesn’t remove my account details from my wallet. Like if I restored my phone 10 times, it counts this 1 device as 10.


I had Apple Cash on my iPad. With the advice of the last person I spoke with at apple support, She told me to remove it and was then unable to add it back on my iPad as well.


i was conveniently using Apple Cash to pay my Apple Card so this really frustrating


jeff thanks again
