Howdy.
Since I don't use Passbook help me understand.
What do you mean by "card?". A card from Starbucks? A credit card?

Passport basically makes you a digital credit card to pay for your purchases -
It's just like when you click on the pay now button w/ the Starbucks app -it uses the same info - - i guess it's supposed to save time?
hard to explain via email w/ the headache i have... the app remains functional, it just gives you a virtual card to use.

I have used it with United Airlines.
It is not really an App. It is more of an enablement to certain features, like Newsstand is not an App. It allows another App to use certain features that Apple wants to control or protect for the iDevice. Passbook apparently allows certain apps access to Location. For example, it would not show my Denver boarding pass until I got to Denver International Airport.
After I got through the gate, I then had to pull the paper boarding pass out, because I could not find out how to make it show my seat. It is new, and only certain airlines and airports use it. The upgraded United app made the boarding pass QR available to me, but not before getting to the airport.

I would guess that it is intended to save wallet space, not time.

Surely a matter of choice. I have the same problem. Mail starts up arbitrarily and then starts downloading huge numbers of messages from my Yahoo account. I looked around for means to bypass this a couple of years ago but couldn't find anything.

the Rail is probably prohibitively expensive, and sure is not something i'd like to carry around.
isn't there something, like a shield you guys talked about before that protects individuals from
thieves?
also, how about encyption of email, or especially, something to protect me while on FB?
i have Do Not Track Plus. that sort of thing. simple, but effective.
TIA,

Hi,
I use the Apple Calendar app, v. 6.0. I have it email me or reminder me events as I need to do them. It's as big help in not forgetting to pay bills. Sometime back, I assigned colors to various events and reminders. Red is the color of a reminder to pay a bill. I change to green when I pay it. There are other event types with their own color. But, somehow I've duplicated colors and my color list is quite large. Can anyone tell me how I can edit or remove certain colors from the calendar? I'd appreciate it.
