Can i set an allowance for myself in the itunes store?

i want to set monthly or weekly spending limits. for obvious reasons. can i set an allowance?

An alternative is to buy prepaid iTunes Store cards. If you remove the credit card information from your iTunes Store account, you'd then be limited to the amount of balance from the cards.

  • I just got a new iphone and can't set up my card detials on the itunes store site. Can anyone help?

    Hi
    I'm unable to enter my payment card and billing address details on the itunes store which obviously means that I'm unable to enjoy the functionality of the phone. Can anyone help?

    When I left an older Windows laptop behind and bought a new MacBook Air, I had to transfer all of my songs over by copying them onto an SD card and then opening it with the new (and empty) iTunes on the MBA. Worked really well...

  • I paid for songs from the itunes store and they are in m4a if i paid for them why can't i load them on a card to play in my car?

    why can i not copy songs i bought from the itunes store to a card to play in my car stereo.
    what is m4a?

    M4A is another name (actually, the file extension) for the AAC audio format.  It is used in iTunes, but frequently has compatibility problems when used outside of Apple-land.
    Does your car player expect MP3 format?  If so you can convert your files by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
    Also, unless you enjoy doing format conversions, you also have the option to buy your music in MP3 format in the first place, from another music download store, e.g. Amazon MP3.
    MP3 can be used in iTunes, iPod, iPhone and just about every other player, program, and device.

  • HT1918 I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    Yes, it's frustrating.
    I don't have my iPod with me but, as I recall, the change is done in Settings/Store.  That change will apply to NEW purchases.  However, be aware that all purchases are permanently associated with the Apple ID that was originally used.  Generally, it's only a problem when you need to update an app.  IF you do your updating from iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  It's easier from the iPod as you do not need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.
    Unfortunately, you can not merge IDs nor can you transfer purchases from one ID to another.  Go here to find out exactly what you have.  I have the same problem so I deliberately made both passwords identical to make things slightly easier for me.

    For access to the itunes store, I get an error message -45054 ¿what can i do to fix this problem?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes.  Not a fix.  Help?

    When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes.  Not a fix.  Help?

    after perusing other subjects with playback issues: 
    this is the fix: 
    -Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
    -Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

  • I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store

    I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store.
    After I sign in, and want to leave a review I get the following message: "You must own this item to write a Customer Review. In order to write a Customer Review for this item you must have purchased or downloaded it."
    I used to be able to write and edit my reviews which I have done! But now I can't anymore even though I have bought and/or downloaded several apps. iTunes won't let me write a review anyway.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have the same problem (for Mac and iPhone apps) and contacted Apple about this.
    The English speaking support said it is a known error and that they are working on a solution. The German support however (which I contacted first, unfortunately) gave me a refund of the apps I wrote them as an example. They told me I should buy them again – which is not possible, since the MacAppStore then gives the message "You have already purchased this app..." Ironically, for one of the two apps I was finally able to write a review, even at this point it wasn't listed in the purchased apps list anymore.
    I've never asked for a refund, and it's causing me more trouble than I had before: now I cannot update these refunded apps anymore (since they are not listed in the "Purchased" list). So I have to check manually if there is a new update (comparing version numbers) and then delete the app and "purchase" it again. Of course I would simply buy the apps from the developer directly, however, they are MacAppStore only.
    When I asked the AppStore support about a solution for this problem, they said it's technically not possible to write reviews for refunded apps (? yes, of course they were not really reading what I wrote them. I guess support at Apple is done by Siri now) and gave 10 free iTunes songs.
    I think reviews are very important for both customers and developers and it's not just a minor inconvenience, but a serious problem; what is especially disturbing, is that it's not the same for all apps: for Pixelmator, I had no problems to post a review, for Jumsoft's "Relationship" it doesn't work, for some apps it worked immediately, for some after a few weeks, for some never.

  • I had an iTune card gift and i tried to made reedem for it but the iTune store show that it is not activated so what should I do to activate it ?

    I had an iTune card gift and i tried to made reedem for it but the iTune store show that it is not activated so what should I do to activate it ?

    What you normally should do is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, or this was a gift so you cannot contact the retailer, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • HT1918 Is debit card allowed for payment in indian itune store?

    i can not purchase any app in itunes. every time it says "your payment method was declined". please clarify that if debit card is allowed or not for payment in indian itunes stores.
    i am using axis bank titanium debit card "mastercard" for payment.

    As far as I know debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined. Do you have a credit card that you could use instead ? They are generally considered safer when used on sites that store the card's details.

  • I purchased an itrip Auto Pilot and require an app to use it according to my device I was setting up to play music in my car speakers.  I cannot find an app for this in the itunes store.  Help

    I purchased an ITrip Auto Pilot and when attempting to use it to play music from my Iphone through my car speakers, I was promptedd to get an app from the itunes store to enable it to work.  I went to the itunes store and searched for an app and could not find one.  Can anyone tell me the app I need and where to get it for this itrip auto pilot made by Griffin?  It is supposedd to enable my iphone and ipod to play on my FM radio in my car.

    You should go to the web site for the iTrip product and see what app it is, I'll bet there's a link there that will take you right to the app.  Don't worry, as you get more stuff it'll be easier to figure it all out, eventually it'll be plain old common sense that solves these types of issues for you

  • HT5557 Can you buy gift certificates for specific books in iTunes Store?

  • Can i use the debit card details for payment in the itunes store

    can i use the debit card details for payment in the itunes store

    Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
    You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    Using a debit card in any online service where it stores your card is a bad idea in any case since if someone gains access to your account in the service, they can quickly drain your bank account. Credit cards limit your liability, as do prepaid iTunes cards.
    Regards.

  • Can you search for videos in the iTunes store?

    When I go to the music videos section of the iTunes store, it looks like I can only search through a long list. Is there any way to search for a specific music video in the iTunes Store?

    Hi and welcome.....
    Select iTunes music store on the left side of the iTunes window. You will see a search field.
    Type in the name of the music video there, then press Return or Enter on your keyboard.

  • Unable to check for purchases. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable.

    Every time I go to check for purchases I receive this message. Ive been recieving it for a couple weeks now and its reallly starting to annoy me.
    Based on what info I found, I tried adding different program and port exceptions to my firewall, and I toggled my virus scanner and spyware. (and I dont have an internet accelerator so thats not the cause).
    So then when that failed i just turned my virus scanner and firewall completely off. Still its the same problem.
    I have almost 70 downloads that are incomplete (because of an error that apple support has worked out with me), but I have no way of accessing them.
    PLEASE HELP / GIVE ANY SUGGESTIONS
    iTunes 7.3.0.54, Toshiba Satellite Laptop, Windows XP service pack 2

    ya....
    "I understand that you are still receiving a message about connection error when trying to download your purchases.
    I have confirmed that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections. Therefore, the issue is likely related to your Internet connection, local network, or computer. I'm happy to provide some information that should help you connect to the iTunes Store again.
    I apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with this issue and I can imagine how frustrating this could be for you. However, the nature of your question falls outside the type of support provided via email by the iTunes Store team. The iTunes Store team answers non-technical questions about billing, customer accounts, downloading music, and iTunes Store."
    Im going to send them my exact connection details and such.. but if anyone knows the solutions to this PLEASE tell. It would save a ton of time and frustration.

  • Why can't you purchase an audio book on the Itunes store from an Apple TV?

    Apple seems to be moving everything they sell on Itunes to graphics, away from the traditional text based browse function they started with.
    I don't think they've done the most effective job on that move on a PC/Mac, it's sometimes easier just to go through the Apple TV and buy from there and let it just sync and transfer to my Itunes library on my PC.
    However, I've noticed that you can't purchase an audiobook from an Apple TV, though you can purchase everything else that can play on an Ipod from there.
    Audiobooks just don't show up as an option on the Itunes store from an Apple TV, but they do play on your Apple TV if you purchase them from the Itunes store from the PC or Mac you sync or stream from.
    Does anyone know if this is a licensing issue, or yet another oops/oversight on Apple's part? Doesn't seem to make sense, Apple has been pushing tighter and tighter integration between the Itunes store and Apple TV, and it's yet another lost revenue stream on Apple's part that I hope they fix.
    If you can buy it from the store, you ought to be able to buy it using your apple TV. Period. Makes as much (non)sense as restricting what content you can purchase if you are buying it from an Iphone vs. a PC vs. a Mac. If you sell content on your store that plays on your devices, then sell it, regardless of which device (that you also make and sell) that your customers access your Itunes store from. It's why they make us sync everything back to Itunes on a computer in the first place.
    And yes, while it may sound counter-intuitive to listen to an audio book from a device connected to a TV,
    I listen to audiobooks from my Apple TV nightly in my bedroom to go to sleep by, streamed via airtunes to the Aux port on my clock radio by my bed, then turn the TV off and snooze. Works extremely well and has for years now. Beats headphones or futzing with external speakers on an Ipod or trudging upstairs to the room I have my PC in to stream an audiobook to airtunes, then back to bed. With Apple TV, it's pick, click, then turn off the tv and the lights. Sure would be nice to buy an audio book that way also.
    Any thoughts on why they would restrict you from buying audiobooks from an Apple TV? To me, it's yet another lost revenue opportunity for impulse buys courtesy of Apple.
