Can't use iTunes account for games purchased under different account

I just opened an iTunes account for my with gift cards he received. When he tries to buy tokens for games he has on his iPad mini it won't allow him to use his account funds because the games were all purchased using my iTunes account. What should I do?

I think I'm getting it finally, thanks for the clarification. So at least I know there is a way to not see all music in my library from my iPhone.
So in my case i have about 800 songs on my iPhone out of about 1600 on my iTunes library. If I'm understanding correctly I would have to enable Match on my iPhone, then turn off the "show all music" option. This in turn should leave me with my original 800 songs listed which I woud then have to download from the cloud. Once I have all of my 800 songs back down from the cloud I won't be required to download them again from that phone.
A worse scenario would be that I enable Match, and then have to find my 800 songs out of the total 1600 manually from the list and then download them from the cloud.
Which scenario is correct?

Can I use iTunes Match for 2 iPhones with different music, same account?

My wife and I each have an iPhone and share an iTunes account. We share a master music library but each manually manage our music on our iPhones. So she has certain songs on her phone and I have different ones on mine, both coming from the same master library. I'm trying to figure out if I can use iTunes Match in this scenario. I don't want to see her songs on my iPhone. Is there a way to only see music on my iPhone if I use Match or am I stuck seeing my entire library on my iPhone?

Thanks for the welcome and the reply!
I looked at KB25882 and my settings are good, so that didn't help.
I had this problem over a year ago, and someone at RIM found a bit set that shouldn't have been set and fixed it (that is my terminology for what happened).
I am really looking for a way to contact RIM directly. I hate going through the mill with my carrier to get it escalated to RIM for resolution...... <sigh>
Hi mgpainter
Most easiest way to Contact RIM is through your Carrier but as you don't prefer that than there is another way of support called Incident Based Support but just want to inform you that its not free.If you want have a try BlackBerry Incident Based Support .
Good Luck

You should use the same iTunes account for all your devices.

HT5035 When I try to purchase something on iTunes using store credit, it says that the store credit is temporarily unavailable and iTunes can't use store credit for my purchase at this time. What do I do?

I'm trying to make a purchase using the $10 store credit that I have, but a notification box comes up saying, "Store credit temporarily unavailable. We cannot use store credit for this purchase at this time. Do you want to pay for this item with your other pay method on file?" Why is it saying this? How can I purchase this item with my store credit?

I was finally able to download itunes on my laptop, this is really a pain in the butt, not I want to purchase a song and it's asking for a credit card and I have $18.71 credit on my account. Why can't I just purchase a song using the credit that has already been put on my account.???????

I can't use iTunes balance for my in game purchases.

i tried to make an in game purchase and it keeps declining it. I have plenty of money in my iTunes account to cover it. Please help me.

If you have a credit card on your account then it has to be a valid card and accepted by iTunes. Have you tried removing the credit card from your account and seeing if you can then do the IAP via your account's balance : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

Hi can i use itunes card for purchasing balens on Eternal Fury?

im planning to buy balens/load on Eternal Fury app but i dont have credit card is it possible to use itunes card?

You should be able to - iTunes gift cards can be used to buy from the iTunes store, app store (including in-app purchases), iBookstore and Mac app store. To do in-app purchases you need to be using the same account that downloaded the app from the store, all content from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it.

Restored iPhone, signed in with wrong apple ID & can't use iTunes Match for 33 days!!u

Hi,
When I connected my iPhone 5 to itunes it said it couldn't read the device and I had to restore it.
After I did this I signed in with my primary Apple ID, that I use for iCloud, Mail, iMessage, Photo Stream etc. However most of my purchases & iTunes Match have been made on another Apple ID (that I used before iCloud was introduced)
Now when I try and turn on iTunes match using this ID I get a message saying:
"This device is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this device with just one apple ID every 90 days. This device can be used with another Apple ID in 33 days"
This is very very frustrating as I didn't realise what I had done when signing into the iPhone. I have sent a message to Apple to see if they can reset this before the 33 days so I can sign in with the correct ID for match.
Anyone else had a similiar problem? I hope that there will be away in future of merging ID's so that this problem doesn't happen - I'm sure it's very common!
Thanks
Steven

Yes, I did as you suggested and signed into the iTunes store with the Apple ID I use for purchases and iTunes Match.
When I attempt to turn on iTunes match I am given the following message:
"This device is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this device with just one apple ID every 90 days. This device can be used with another Apple ID in 33 days"
I believe this happened after I restored my iPhone5(as requested by iTunes) and logged back into the device with the incorrect ID, which was then set up to use for iTunes & App Store Purchases.
When I then logged out of this ID and tried to use the correct ID, it was then that I received the message saying I cannot use it!
If you think there is something else I can do to resolve this then please let me know.
However, I have sent an email to Apple explaining what has happened. If they have good procedures in place, they should be able to see my iTunes account(s) and the devices associated with it. Remove the iPhone from the Apple ID that is is currently assocaited with and then I will be able to associate with the correct ID.
It seems very straight forward!

How can I use Family Sharing for Store purchases if I use a different Apple ID for purchases?

A key feature of Apple's iCloud Family Sharing is the ability to share store purchases with invited family members. However, like many people, I use a different Apple ID for iCloud and Store purchases (ironically, primarily for the exact purpose of sharing among family).
Can I use iCloud Family Sharing to share purchases if I use a different Apple ID for Store (iTunes, App Store, etc.) purchases?

Sorry, let me clarify. I have two Apple IDs A and B:
A: Used for iCloud. All my calendar, mail, contacts, and other iCloud features are here. This is the ID I use as "the" iCloud on my iOS devices and OS X machines.
B: Used only for purchases, on all my devices and machines. This is what I used to log into iTunes, or to buy apps for iOS or OS X.
The issue is that the only way (currently) to set up Family Sharing is to invite from an iCloud ID (A, in my case) on an iOS 8 device. That's not the ID (B) I use for purchases. The question is whether there's a way to share those purchases given that I'm configured on all my devices with A for iCloud. (Clearly if I somehow send invitations from B, I can share purchases; but that's not the question.)
It sounds like the answer to that question is 'No'.
If that's the case, how do I invite from B? Do I have to configure an iOS device with B as the iCloud ID? My problem isn't that I want to ("willy nilly") avoid inviting form B; it's that there seems to be no way (certainly no convenient way) to do that.

Some In-App Purchases works only with credit card.

HT3702 Can I use iTunes gift cards to purchase accessories from the apple store

I got a lot of iTunes cards for my birthday and I was wondering if I could use those credits in the apple store.

No, you can only use them in iTunes store, the App Store, ibookstore, and the Mac App Store, they can't be used in Apple stores (including online) to buy hardware.

How can I use iTunes with 3 devices with 3 different apple-id

Hello.
My problem is that we purchase 3 different devices (iPod, iPhone and iPad1) on different times and activate them with different apple-id´s - niot knowing the problems we get.
Now I buy an iMac and want to organize the data of all 3 devices (which unfortunaly have different purchases of music, books and films) with that new iMac.
What can I do to get the data synchronised with all devices without loosing data? Out of this pool I than want to synchronise only selected items of music and books to the different devices.
Apple says that it is not possible to merge that 3 accounts to one account. Also my try to share the date with home shareing doesn´t work.
Any help out there?
Thanks

Log out of your Apple ID with iMessage at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID. Select your Apple ID and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out. Follow this by turning iMessage off.
Turn iMessage back on and try to re-authorize your iPhone with your Apple ID with iMessage which should register your new cell phone number.

HT4914 Can I use Itunes match for my movies as well?

if not, can I could use iCloud, but I would have to pay for it, even if I bought them at itunes, right?

iTunes Match only applies to music. If you mean that you want to stream your movies rather than having to download them to your device, that to the best of my knowledge is not possible, at least as of this time.
Regards.
