Passbook - No + sign for me to add a card

Maybe this link will help you: https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/

I have the same problem.

I can't add cards, there is no link for me to add cards, and there is no Passbook section in the Settings app. I use the Starbucks app which should at a minimum work for me in Passbook.

This is on my new iPhone 6 on latest iOS (just upgraded to 8.1 but it was the same on 8.02). On my old iPhone 4s Passbook was working fine. I'd be interested if anyone has a fix for this.

See if this helps. iOS: Using Passbook

Thanks, yes tried all the steps in that link. Unfortunately none of them help.

Do you have the option under Settings > Passbook & Apple Pay?

I don't have this option (even though I've upgraded to 8.1). Which section/group is this settings option in under Settings?

Montefrompalm springs - sorry for hijacking your thread....

Right below iCloud and iTunes & App Store...

Have you confirmed you successfully upgraded to 8.1? If so, I would do a reset of the device: Hold the home button + the lock button for about 6-8 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data or current settings.

If that doesn't work, do a restore on the device. Mine updated and installed flawlessly and setting up Apple Pay was a breeze. Sorry to hear you're having issues.

Thanks. Yes, confirmed that I've upgraded to 8.1 (I can see from the About section and Software Update).

I had tried a restart, but hadn't tried a soft reset yet. Just tried it, but no luck. It seems very odd. I have Passbook enabled in iCloud but don't see the new Passbook & Apple Pay settings (or any Passbook settings) and also Passbook itself is not working. Looks like it's a restore next...

Check your region/language settings...this is only available in the US currently. Other than that, a restore sounds like the next option.

Just guessing, but with a username of zaclondon, that you might be in the UK? If so, that is probably why. Apple Pay is only available in the US right now.

Ah, well that would explain the missing Settings :-) Thanks.

Did you find a solution? I am curious what your region settings are. My phone and I live in the US but I had my region set to Canada. I wonder if that caused Apple Pay not to install when I did my update. If that's correct, come on Apple Developers, if I'm on a US carrier then give me the update

Solution: Passbook and Apple Pay are driven by the region setting. Apple developers might want to reconsider how they use region. Anyhow, if you want to set up a car in Passbook change your region to US and Passbook will let you set up a card. I'm not sure the card will work yet but you can set it up.

If your region is set to Canada, that's why you can't access Apple Pay. Set your region to the US where you live.

I have the same problem. iPhone 6 Plus, 8.1, region set to US. But STILL cannot see a plus sign when I pull down on Passbook. I do live in the US, have used passbook for boarding passes in the past. But cannot add anything new.

Tried a soft reset. No luck.

After updating the region I just restarted the phone and it worked for me. Please try that
