Mary,
I figured you had the settings sorted and sorry that I didn't see your post in viphone.

Everything checks out in the settings. And I posted this question to both places because I know there are people on Mac visionaries who do not subscribe to the iPhone list.

I'm curious about your Touch ID and Passcode settings. I'm asking the below from an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 perspective so I hope they make sense. What do you have the Use Touch ID For setting turned on for? My choices are iPhone unlock, Apple Pay, and iTunes and Apps Store. I hate to be elementary but I'm assuming you do have those last two turned on? Do you have the Require Passcode setting set to immediately or to some other setting? Do you have Passbook option turned on in the Allow Access when Locked setting? These are just some of the things I'd suggest you look at to make sure they are set to get the Touch ID results you're expecting. Good luck.

That is, of course, unless it is being charged. But I have certainly turned my phone off on various occasions since getting it. So that may explain the problem. Unfortunately, I don't have anything I want to buy right now to test out the theory, since it has been less than four hours since I signed in and made that purchase.

I believe there is a time period, about 4 hours, where you can use your fingerprint after signing in with your Apple ID. If you have shut down your phone, you have to always sign in.

I thought I was set up for that. But I just purchased an iBook. I hit the buy button and was prompted to sign in with my password. I put my finger on the home button for touch ID, nothing happened. So I signed in the usual way and the book was purchased. Now I don't have a problem signing in. I have been doing it for a long time. But I am confused as to how this touch ID thing is supposed to work. There must be some setting I am missing. Or I just don't understand its operation.
