Q: Apple Pay not working after 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 update
This happened when I updated to iOS 8.1.1 and now it happened this morning after updating to iOS 8.1.2. I'm using an iPhone 6 64GB.
The credit card terminal and the iPhone 6 don't see each other. I always unlock my iPhone and go into Passbook to use Apple Pay. I
don't rely on the phone waking up from the locked screen to use Apple Pay.
When this happened the first time I went to 2 other stores and had the same problem. I have used Apple Pay in this same store before
with no problems.
After the 8.1.1 update I tried the following:
1. Turned my iPhone off then back on after about a minute.
2. I did a "hard" reboot.
3. I completely reset the phone and restore from my last backup.
I guess I'll do a complete reset and restore tonight when I get home from work tonight.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2

Ok I spent an hour on the phone with 1st and 2nd level Tech Support at Apple. The one thing I didn't try was to just delete my credit card from Passbook
and then re-load them. That's what Apple Tech Support suggested. That was the trick. I deleted the cards in Passbook and re-loaded them and it worked like a champ.
I guess since the cards showed in Passbook and looked OK I felt that they weren't the problem. No need to erase the phone and restore the phone.
