Can I use an app purchased on diff account?

I have 2 apple accounts, one is mine and one I created for my son's ipad. He got a gift card and I redeemed it on my account thinking I could "gift" him small amounts at a time so he doesn't spend it all at once and since I can't do that can I just sign into my account on his ipad, download the app he wants then sign back into his account and him still be able to use the app I downloaded on my account?

    How can I use in app purchase without credit card using account balance

    Hi Kaijinfromtx,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    When you make an In App Purchase, the iTunes Store should use any gift balance or account credit first. You may still be asked to verify the payment information on your account before completing the purchase.
    You can find more information about iTunes Store billing in these articles:

    Hi, I have the iPad air, and I am playing a game called Clash of Clans that offers in app purchases. I can't buy anything and the error is always the same: Cannot connect to iTunes store.

  • How can i use in app purchases on my computer

    please help me

    Pretty sure you can't.  The in app purchase is made from within the app, therefore the app needs to be running and therefore it needs to be done from the iPhone.

  • Can i move iTunes app purchases from one account to another?

    My daughter has an itues account and she uses it for her purchases from the itunes store.  She purchased an iPod Touch for her son and used her account with the iPod to purchase apps for him.   She just purchased an iPad for him and obviously all the purchased apps he used on the iPod Touch cannot be downloaded to the new iPad without her having her account on the iPad.  If we create an iTunes account for him, is there any way to transfer the purchased games etc to his account. 
    If I understand correctly, there can be more than one account on the iPad but my daughter does now want him to have access to her account.  If this is not possible, can we set it up so he can only access his iTunes account and not hers?  In other words if we download all the games etc that were purchased for him, will they be available if she leaves her account on the iPad but changes the PW so he cannot access the account?   He would only have access to his iTunes account.

    You can only use one account per iPad, and you can't transfer purchases to other accounts

  • Can't download free app purchased under another account once Family Sharing is enabled

    I "purchased" Onedrive for iPhone years ago. Then I turned on family sharing on my daughters phone. She couldn't update Onedrive because she hadn't purchased it, so I deleted it as I had for others and tried to download it again. However, this fails with the error message:
    "Redownload Unavailable with This Apple Id
    This redownload is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    OK"
    I tried finding it from her phone under my purchases, but it is not listed there. However, on my phone, it does show up as a purchase. I'm completely baffled on how to work around this. Anyway to force a repurchase of a "free" app?

    If you are using the Purchased tab where your purchases are listed to re-download it then you shouldn't be charged. If you are being asked to enter your credit card details when trying to download it via that tab then that will be for account verfication purposes - you are currently in the country where your account is based ?

  • I have a dollar amount balance on my itunes account... can i use this to purchase apps for my MacBook Pro?

    You should be able to.  As long as you are signed in to the same AppleID that has an available balance.  The services are linked.

  • HT4461 Can I use my App Gift Card to purchase I-tunegift cards

    Can I use my App Gift card to purchase Itune Gift Card?

    No, you can't.
    Your iTunes and Mac App Store accounts are the same account. You can buy whatever you want, iTunes content or Mac App Store content, it's all interchangeable. There is no need to buy iTunes cards with App cards.

  • Can I use an app already purchased for iMac on new MacBook Air?

    Can I use an app already purchased for my iMac on a new (yet to be purchased) MacBook Air?

    Thanks, Niel.  As a follow-up, I need to know if I can also use the same app on a new iPhone and/or a new iPad.

  • I have 2 ipad2s on one account. can i share the apps purchased rather than having to purchase same app for each.  I am only user.

    I have 2 ipad2s on one apple/itunes account.  can i share the apps purchased rather than purchase the same apps for each ipad2
    . i am only user.

    .... And you can put them on as many iDevices as you own. There is no limit as long as you use the same Apple ID and iTunes account for all of the devices.

  • I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated.  And can't used the app card number.  Any advice???

    I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated.  And can't used the app card number.  Any advice???

    I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
    Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

  • My app. not showing on App Store anymore after using In-App purchase

    It's more than a week that my app is not showing in it's category, after Apple released the new version, in the new version I used In-App purchase and both In-App purchase and the new version of the app are approved by Apple but they never showed up in their category since.
    It seems it's happening to the new one which was approved yesterday and is disappeared from it's category under new releases section ( posted date was correct the same day it was approved )
    Does any body else has this issue ?

    after Apple released the new version
    Also know as an 'update'...
    Looks like Apple has quietly changed the process where updated apps could be dated the day they were approved (more recent than the original release data) and show up at the top of the recently released apps all over again.
    Updated apps will not appear at the top of the recently released list any longer, it seems.
    If you search on your app by name, etc., it should still be there. If it is gone completely, use one of these email contacts...

  • HT202213 Can I use the apps that itunes is downloading to my PC on my PC?

    Can I use the apps that itunes downlading to my PC on my PC.  If not can I delete them off of my PC without messing it up on my ipad?

    Yes, you keep them for your iPad. If your hard drive space is at such a premium, then you should get a larger drive or add an external drive to which you can copy off some of your other files. Everything you download, add to, or purchase through iTunes for your iPad will take up more and more space.

  • HT201272 How can I download previous APP purchases onto my laptop?

    I have authorised my computer and after much searching I still remain clueless as to how I can access the apps I have bought from Apple in the past using my ipad.
    I have checked for automatic downloads and it has not downloaded any of my apps...Please Help!

    If you are logged in with the same account then they should appear in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes (or you should be able to copy them over from the iPad to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases) - you can then take a backup copy of them in case you need to restore your iPad in the future (you can't use iPad apps on a Mac)

    Can you explain this a bit more? Users who purchase the app should have a 1 year validity for what? Are you talking about the app purchase or the in-app purchase? Are you talking about future in-app purchases or people who have already purchased your app before you added the in-app purchase feature?
    Can i get the Purchase date of the app based on the user from app store.
    Yes. When your app completes the in-app purchase, it should forward the receipt to your server, which will verify it with iTunes, and complete the transaction. All the details are here.
