How to remove a card from Apple Pay on Apple Watch

Apple Pay on the Apple Watch allows owners to make a mobile payment without having to remove their iPhone from their bag or pocket. Apple has taken measures to secure this process by requiring a user to wear the Watch on their wrist during the transaction. This security is not foolproof, leaving some Watch owners wondering if they should remove their credit cards from the wearable device. Thankfully, this process of credit card removal is easy.


WonderHowTo showed how the wrist detection Apple uses to secure Apple Pay can be circumvented by removing a person’s Watch and quickly substituting fingers for the wrist. If you are concerned about this potential vulnerability, you can secure your credit card by removing it from Apple Pay on your Watch.
Removing your credit card from Apple Pay on the Watch only takes a few minutes to complete. Just tap the Passbook icon on the Watch Home screen and find the card you want to remove. Press firmly on the card using force touch and tap Delete to remove it from Apple Pay.

You also can use the Watch app on your iPhone to remove a credit card as follows:

• Launch the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.

• Tap on My Watch to open the Watch-specific settings

• Scroll dow and tap on Passbook & Apple Pay.

•  Tap on the card you want to remove.

•  Tap on Remove Card.

•     Tap on Remove in the popup menu to confirm the deletion.

Apple Watch Lost or Stolen
If your Apple Watch is lost or stolen then you need to go to iCloud.com to remove the ability to make payments using credit and debit cards on your Apple Watch. Log into iCloud, click Settings, choose your device, and click Remove Device. Alternatively, you can also call your bank to suspend or remove your cards from Apple Pay.

Hide your cluttered Mac desktop with a click

My Mac desktop is usually cluttered with documents, downloads, and photo thumbnails. Not only does this make it hard to find exactly what I am looking for, but it also looks like crap. Moreover, everyone can see what’s on your desktop, and sometimes that may not be the most ideal of circumstances. If you want to quickly hide your desktop or avoid its cluttered appearance, Shade is a great solution. 

 Hide your Mac desktop with the click
Download Shade (iTunes link) from the Mac app store. Shade is a free application that uses a drop-down screen to hide the desktop with the click of a button. Once installed, open the application and you will see a small intro box and the Shade leaf icon will appear in your Mac toolbar.

Shade is very simple to use. Whenever you want to hide your desktop, simply click the Shade icon and the drop-down “shade” will immediately hide your messy desktop. Messy on the left – Shade on the right.

 You can change the default Shade image by dragging any wallpaper or image right onto the Shade icon in the toolbar. This will change that default plant image to whatever you dragged to the icon.  This process can repeated endlessly; just make sure to choose an image of appropriate desktop size.

It should be noted that any items downloaded or saved to your desktop will go to your regular desktop. No desktop items can be added or seen on your Shade. To remove the shade, click on the icon in the toolbar, and your regular desktop will be revealed.

Shade is a quick and easy way to avoid desktop clutter and hide desktop items without having to actually clean it up manually. Of course the only way to really clear your desktop is to remove items from it, but Shade is nice alternative.
