Hi Saramos,
When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
Family purchases and payments
When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -

  • Use family sharing, but make purchases with individual credit cards.

    I am curious if there is any way to use Family Sharing for iOS 8 with multiple credit cards.
    My parents have there account attached to their credit card, and my brother and I have our accounts attached to our credit cards respectively.
    We want to all be in one family to share out purchases, but when we go to creat it, our parents card is the only card that can be billed.  Itunes effectively forgets about the other credit cards on file.
    We want to be able to share with the family, but we also want to make purchases individually.
    Thank you,
    Eric

    The only way to do that would be to redeem iTunes gift cards to the individual accounts.  Gift cards redeemed will go to THAT specific account, and would be usable by only that person for purchases.  The gift card balance would be used until it is gone, then it would revert to the organizer's credit card.

  • Can I use family sharing without a credit card

    I want to set up family sharing in iCloud between my account and my dad's since we have separate accounts. Problem is, one of them needs a credit card and my sister tends to make purchases from iTunes cards that weren't for her. Can I set up family sharing without using a credit card? I have a friend who used his parents credit card and one day, they got a $500 bill from iTunes on purchases they didn't make. The account was hacked somehow and the last thing my parents need is to have one of their cards hijacked again.

    Apple suggests that in this case you add with a credit card then switch back: Start or join a family group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
    "When you create an account for a child, you must use a credit card as the payment method as part of providing your parental consent. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method if you choose."
    Annoying, but presumably there are technical constraints that make this difficult. I hope they'll fix at some point but this at least means I can set it up. I don't use a credit card but I have one around that I can use to at least set up the accounts.

  • How can I set family sharing with my mom living in Europe?

    hi, i just bought new iphone for my mom who is living in Europe and I wanted to set family sharing with her to share pictures but I can't because I live in USA ... is there any way how to set it? Thanx

    Seeing how itunes store is not international, cause every locale has to comply with different set of laws - you probably can't use family sharing feature, but you can use photosharing.

  • HT2534 ummm, we don't have the none button to select for our payment type, how can you set it up without that button or a credit card??? apple isn't doing to good of a job so far and i'm not impressed

    Hi, I'm setting up an account for my brother, but apparently we need a credit card. Neither of us own one and the system won't let us continue without one. Now I know that there's supposed to be a none selection, but it won't appear on ours. How can we continue if we don't have a credit card or the none selection button??? Help us please!!!!

    When I created a new account on my computer's iTunes yesterday, I first logged out of my existing account. I then found a free app in the store, clicked on it's free 'price' to 'buy' it, clicked on 'create Apple id' and filled in details about the new account and which gave me the option of 'none' for the payment details - clicking on the 'verify' email that I received then allowed me to download a free app.
    That is the process that you are using when you tried to create both new accounts ? The instructions won't work on existing accounts (even if the account has only been partially created), and you are in the country that you are trying to create the account for ?

  • How can I reset family sharing and payment info when itunes requires verification information from a lost credit card?

    I was attempting to make an App store purchase and the App Store required verification of my computer.  The information the App Sotre - and ITunes require is the expiration date [ mm / yyyy ] and the security code off the back of my registered credit card.  The card is lost - and so is the information.  ITUnes will not allow me to change the payment information without verifying my information by - again - including the information from the back of the missing credit card. So I am stuck.  

    This is my account info for iTunes & AppStore:
    This is the payment info in iCloud Family Sharing settings:
    Obviously I was able to change the payment info in iTunes/App Store. What do I have to do to make that carry over to iCloud?

  • Using Family Sharing without sharing payment method

    I love the family sharing feature. My yougest daughter is in the family sharing group. I want my oldest daughter to be in it to, to use the shared photo group, and the calander and the location sharing. However, I don't want her to buy things using my credit card.
    Is there a way to have someone in the family group that does not share your payment method?

    Anyone?

  • HT2534 How can I register to AppStore without a credit card?  (iOS6) :((

    Please help me.

    Get an iTunes gift card & redeem that in iTunes using your existing Apple ID.
    Then the option for none, regarding a credit card should appear.

  • TS3988 How can I change my iCloud account and password? If I delete the account, I do not want all info deleted.

    I want to change my iCloud account and password without losing info that has been backed up.

    Your iCloud account ID and password are the AppleID and password you used when you created the account.  As fromsouth says, change the password for the AppleID and you've changed it for your iCloud login.  You can also change the primary email address of that AppleID if you need to.

  • How does my family stream (not download) content using family sharing

    Hi,
    Our family previously used Home Sharing with an iTunes account on an iMac. We could pick up our family iPad and stream a movie from the iTunes shared library. How do I now do this with Family Sharing in ios8? - I can still stream like before as my apple id previously purchased all content, but not my other family members now. I don't want my 7 year old to have to wait hours while the movie they wanted to watch on the iPad downloads on to the device - I just want it to start streaming like it used to .... any help appreciated!
    Thanks

    As far as I know, family sharing should not affect home sharing and as long as Apple id is the same on ipad
    in settings - videos (for movies) settings music( for music)
    and on computer under home sharing - it should still work the same way.
    Apologize in advance if I am wrong, I do not use family sharing and reason for that I feel it is a step back, not forward.

  • HT1541 It doesn't appear the send gift window, it pops up the card selection. How can I send a gift without entering card information if I have credit in my coconut?

    You cannot gift with a gift balance.  You must use cc to gift

  • Can you use family share without sharing payment?

    My wife and I purchase items separately with our individual apple ID's. Is there a way that we can both use family sharing but not use my payment info? We have no kids but have separate spending accounts that we like to keep separate.
    Thanks.
    -Brian

    There are some arrangements which would benefit from sharing whilst two family members continuing to have a separate payment option. I'm trying to search for that solution. I would like to share purchases with my wife that she is interested in and visa versa but I only want to pay for things that I'm interested in. If there is some album that I really like and she doesn't then we want it set up that I could pay for that alone rather than through a shared family account. Even with that we would still appreciate sharing each others apps and music when it's something we would like to have on our devices and shared mac.
    When you've switched to family sharing and family members choose to pay with a second payment method other than the shared credit account?
