Apple ID Account Information and Credit Card

I gave my mom an iPad as a present and set up an Apple ID with her information. However, I am paying for all of the related purchases and subscriptions with my credit card. At first all was well, I had my credit card info set up on the purchase page. Then I noticed that Apple automatically changed my Mom's account information from her name to my name. Likewise, if I would change it back, suddenly the credit card information had her name on my address. Somehow the purchases are going through this way, but this is not right. Is there any way to keep this information discrete the way it is supposed to be? What do parents do who set up iPads for their children and pay for the purchases? There must be a solution here.

  • Unable to update by billing information and credit card info

    Please let me know, what I can do to solve the problem asap.
    Regards,

    Hello Sheyssa,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to update your billing information associated with your Apple ID.  Many times this is caused by a formatting error:
    When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records.
    In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.
    I recommend following the steps below:
    You can verify and/or modify your billing address by following these instructions:
    Open iTunes.  If you are signed in to iTunes, skip to step 4.
    Note: Verify that you are signed in to the correct iTunes account. If you are unsure which account you're signed into, choose Store > Sign Out and proceed to step 2.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your account name and password, then click the Sign In button.
    Choose Store > View My Account.
    Click the Edit Payment Information button.
    In the Payment Method section, choose None.
    Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
    Click the Edit Payment Information button again.
    Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement.
    Select your credit card type in the Payment Method section.
    Enter your credit card information, your card's security code, and the expiration date.
    Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.

  • HT2534 How do you create an apple ID account with no credit card. HELP!!!

    There is no 'none' button for selecting a method payment when creating an apple ID account. HELP!!!

    Did you follow, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating the account ? I've just tried those instructions and got the 'none' option on a new account
    You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review that account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not, and if you don't want to enter credit card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them) then you will need to create a new account, using the instructions on the HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • HT2534 CREATING AN APPLE ID ACCOUNT WITHOUT A CREDIT CARD for a teenager

    Trying to create an Apple ID so that a 13 year old can have her own account but I do not want it to have a credit card tied to it but when I try to activate an account with the teenager credentials it is asking for a credit card number and I even did research and one of the two articles I found is an Apple Support done in Sept 2014 shows that there should be an option that says None for payment but the account shows no "None" option.
    Please help.
    Jefre

    Went ahead and start a brand new email and do the free download route and then create the second Apple ID I mentioned at the beginning. Not a great solution… there needs to be instructions somewhere before hand.
    So the problem is resolved.

  • Account hacked and credit card charged!!!

    I received today 3 emails from Skype. one about Skype Manager, one about Auto-Recharge and a last one about an order for 10 euro that has been made with my credit card. In my account info I fount a strange primary email address @ 163.com [hyperlink removed] and in skype manager setting there is an administrator with username [redacted to protect privacy] and me as a fellow member. The problem is that my credit card has already been charged with 10 euro but I cant see the transaction in my Purchase history page. I can see it only as last purchase of payment method but when I click on "Download this as printable invoice" the "Oops, something went wrong..." page appears. Please help!!

    Hi, Psideras, and welcome to the Community,
    First things, first: for your safety and protection, please never, ever include any personally identifiable information such as your real name, Skype account name, e-mail address, or a telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this.  Thanks!
    If you have not already done so, change your Skype account and payment method account passwords immediately.  Report the fraudulent charges to your payment method issuer and to Skype Customer Service. 
    You will need to contact Skype Customer Service to sort this, and to assume control of your account.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you must contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request. You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started!
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • How do I make an Apple ID account without a credit card

    I've been able to create an account but however, when I try to sign into my account on the App Store, they require me to review my account which requires for me to fill in details of my credit card but unfortunately, I don't have one. so is there any way I could sign in without the need of credit card details?

  • HT1933 My ex-boyfriend stole my email address and credit card information to make purchases with Apple and now my Apple ID account has a balance. Is there any way I can retract the purchases so I don't have to pay for his theft of my information?

    My ex-boyfriend stole my email address and credit card information to make purchases with Apple and now my Apple ID has a balance. Is there any way I can retract the purchases so I don't have to pay for his theft? I had no idea he had done this until I tried to sign in to the ITunes store and found all his information and a whole bunch of song purchases. I had to go to my email and reset everything. I only have a 2.10 balance due to him, but I just want to find out if there is a way to erase it because of this circumstance.

    You need to immediately pull credit reports to see what else he has done.  Then "freeze" the credit report at all three agencies.  That way even you need to lift the freeze to add credit cards or other credit items to your SSN.

    Hi, I had registered my credit card a week ago on Apple.and then that day  I remove all information about credit card off my apple acount.but today i learned that  2 dollars payment has been given off my credit card.but I never  buy any paid apps.Each time I was looking up my Itunes on pc , but there was always a 0.00$.so I do not know what to do now.please help me.check it . what happened and where is the 2 dollars? Please .

    Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
    The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
    Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
    Good Luck

  • HT4484 I let my grandson open an apple account with my credit card.  He has been charging a little to much and I would like my credit card removed from this account.  I do not know the apple id or password.  How do i proceed?

    I let my grandsn open and itunes account with my credit card.  I want to remove my cc# from his account.  I do not know his apple id or password.  How do I proceed?

    I would say let him fess up and give him a chance to mend his ways, but there is at least one app that goes for $900 (according to another poster's request for a refund).  You may end up $1000+ deeper gone.
    Change the account number which will close the current links and freeze/prevent charges under the old number.  As I understand it Apple gets grumpy when charges get rejected, and you need to jump through hoops to get a payment method reattached.
    Yes this is a grumpy answer.

  • HT2105 When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it

    When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it bad?

    iTunes credits are, for example, if you download a song from the store and it's found to be corrupt - if the track can't be fixed then iTunes support will tend to give you a song credit for a free download.
    When you purchase music from the store then any credits that you have will be used first, then any balance that you have (e.g. from iTunes gift cards or allowances), and any remaining amount will be taken from your credit card.

    Don't know how this has happened, would like a refund what is the procedure.

  • I bought an I pad Air. And I want to change my Apple account from using credit card to free what can I do guys?

    Guys I just want to convert my Apple account from using Credit card to None but I cant. Help me please

    If you don't have a None option in the payment methods in your account info, then the only way to remove bank card information is to redeem an iTunes Gift Card.
