Re: [Mac-access]: Problems with touchID on iPhone 5S
Heck, if you have young kids who'd need it, don't even waist your time buying the electronic wipes... even just a standard baby wipe will do the trick. Just, if you use one, make sure you only do it on your finger. Don't do it on the home button itself. Especially not if the type you're using has lotion or aloe etc. in it, as that most likely will make it worse.

Re: [Mac-access]: Problems with touchID on iPhone 5S
Actually for me it works for a few days if I readd my finger, then it quits very suddenly . I really thin think it's an ios 8 bug of some kind. and my hands are very very clean. Take care.

Re: [Mac-access]: Problems with touchID on iPhone 5S
Hello, My touch ID is kind of finicky, and I have a 5S running on iOS 8.3 as well. However, it was finicky before I upgraded. Sometimes I have to try three or four times before it registers. I have these electronic wipes, though. The packets come with one wet cloth and one dry cloth. And ever since I got those, I don't have as much trouble unless my fingers are cold or I've only recently washed and dried them. You can see an example of these cloths are http://www.amazon.com/Advantus-Kleen-Screen-Cleaner-REARR1205/dp/B0017D3O20/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1429033646sr=8-1keywords=electronic+wet+and+dry+wipes .
