HT201454 How do you handle family members outside the household being a part of the Family Sharing program? I don't want them using my credit card for itunes and/or apps on their phones - just want to be able to share pictures/videos.
Wanted to include my sister and parents in the Family Sharing group under the iCloud app, but I don't want them using my credit card for their purchases. We just wanted to be able to share pictures and/or videos and find each other, if necessary. Is there a way around my card being the default for them when they go to purchase something?
If you don't want your sister to make purchases on your credit card, then Family Sharing is not an appropriate way to do what you want. You can use Find my Friends to locate each other and you can use Shared Photo Streams to share photos.

Can Windows XP use a different sound card for itunes - I want to use a sound card for itunes and another for all ther apps
To the best of my knowledge, Windows is not capable of setting a specific sound card based on the app being used, it's all or nothing.
Try a google search or search the Microsoft site. -

How would I use a credit card for In-app purchases instead of my gift card credit?
I have a gift card credits linked to my account, but I do not want to use it for an in-app purchase. I want to use my credit card for the purchase. Is there any way around this?
You can't for in-app purchases, when you have a balance on your account then that will automatically be used for your purchases.
For other types of purchase you can try gifting the item to yourself so that your credit card is charged (gifting can only be done via a credit card), but you can't do that with IAPs. -
My wife and I want to use different credit cards to pay for personal purchased will being part of a family share.. How is that possible?
Ricki46,
Thank you for allowing me to clarify. As it says in that article:
"When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit."
These are the only current billing options in Family Sharing. Using a second credit card is not currently an option.
If you need further clarification, you can use one of the other support options here: https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action

iTunes: I just redeemed a gift card in iTunes and then rented a movie. I want it charged to the gift card but think that it was charged to my credit card. How do I ensure the charges are against the gift card?
I took this straight from the help menu.
You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
Hide
Use an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or iTunes Gift Card
If you aren’t already signed in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In at the top of the iTunes Store window.
Below Quick Links, click Redeem, and follow the onscreen instructions.
The amount in your account appears to the left of your account name. When you click the Buy button to make purchases, the amount changes to show how much money remains in your account.
You can use a gift certificate only in the iTunes Store for the same country in which the certificate was purchased. -
We have several apple devices in our family who use my debit card for itune charges. I need to find out which device (itune account) these charges are coming from. Can you help?
You can't tell which device a purhcase was made on, but if your family members each have their own iTunes account to which your card is linked then you can check the purchase history on each of those accounts via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - that should have 'purchase history' section with a 'see all' link to the right of it

I have registered for Apple ID. How do i use my credit card for me to be able to purchase apps?
You edit your account and add the credit card as a payment method. See:
iTunes Store: Changing Account Information -
How I can change ma pay method in iTunes if I don't want to use my credit card?
How I can change my pay method y iTunes if I don't want to use my credit card?
The iTunes Store sometimes requires it even if the card wouldn't be charged; if it actually gets charged and you're not trying to gift the songs, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

HT5552 I want to use my credit card first before using my Store credits. How can I do this?
I want to use my credit card and not use my store credits. This is so I can get $5 cash back if I spend $5 or more on my credit card on itunes. How can I do this. I can't figure it out.
If you can gift that type of item, do so. If not, you can't.

Need to change acct to Canadian from American but it won't let me without using up my balance of $1.27. There is no way to spend exactly this amount. I do not want to use a credit card. I have a Canadian iTunes card that I want to redeem now that I'm living in Canada.
If you can't find anything for exactly that amount then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Want to use a Credit Card from a Country which is not in Apple's List
Recently, I moved to Serbia, where I now live and work, and I would like to change my Apple ID account so that it it uses my credit card number here.
Having said that, Apple has just about every country in the list except for Serbia.
I'm aware that there is no Serbian iTunes Store, but surely that shouyldn't be stopping someone from buying something from another store? How do I get around this problem? I do not want to use my previous credit card as I no more have income in my previous home country.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!Yeap, that's what I was afraid of. I have a valid card and a valid billing address, I just don't see why they're keeping people like me from using their service, and what the actual roadblock is in getting an iTunes Store for Serbia.
Thanks anyway! -
How do I get the none button to pop up so u don't have to have a credit card for apps? I owe nothing for apps from Apple, NOTHING!? And it still does not show the option "none". If it helps the card I have is a debit.
I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)
Anyway, if you choose to do so, you can leave feedback here:

Trying to update my apps but it keeps saying update my credit card,I don't want to use a credit card and I can't delete the one that's on my account
If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank. -
