Can you buy things separate on family share?

okay so me and my brothers want to do the family share thing, but we each have our own credit cards and like to buy our own things with our own money, can we do that and still share it with each other?

While I haven't fully tested this I think the answer is Yes. With Family Share one of you must step up to be the Primary Owner authorize the rest of the Family to buy via their credit card (how much do you trust your brothers ). However, as a "member" of the Family Share, in order to pay for your own content it's my understanding that you can put a gift card balance on your own apple ID and your gift balance will get charged first (before going to the Owner's credit card). That way you can share content, but use gift cards to pay for your own things. Again, its my understanding, but I haven't tested it out yet. Share back what you find?

Can you buy things off iTunes with a debit card

I try and put my debit card details in to purchase an app but it just says card number does not match credit card type and I checked the number it is 100% right

So if you are trying to add a MasterCard, you are clicking on the MasterCard icon and then entering the card #? You have to do both.

There are 2 separate issues here:
- The Apple 30 pin to USB cable was redesigned to remove the 2 button squeeze feature pricesley because of your issue with the buttons falling off and consumers being unable to disconnect the cords. The newly redesigned cable removes these 2 side buttons for a shorter 30 pin connector that will work just fine in Apple devices. If there is an ergonomic reason for wanting the larger 2 button design you can buy a host of 3rd party Apple 30 pin to USB cables on the market. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable?fnode=3a

- The issue of your iPad reporting that it isn't charging is a DIFFERENT issue. Your USB cable is FINE. The reason you are getting this message is beacuse the Power Adaptor that the USB cable plugs into isn't providing enough electrical juice. If you are plugging your USB cable into your PC it might not be getting enough power. If you are plugging it into your iPhone Power Adaptor (5W) it isn't strong enough to charge your iPad with it on (it will trickle charge if you have your iPad off). What you need is the Apple 12W charger for iPad. Your original power adapter that came with you iPad 2 was a 10W charger that Apple no longer sells. Make sure the USB cable you are using it plugged into either a 10W or 12W power adapter! http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad/ipad_accessories/power
Tech speak if interested: the 12W charger uses the USB cable to detect which iPad is connected and gives it 1 AMP for iPhone, 2.1 AMP for iPad 1,2 & Mini and 2.4 AMP for iPad 3&4.

You can if you do not live in Florida, apparently. I called this morning to add AppleCare+ and after giving my info (explaining that the Apple Store is 50 miles (at least) from me, I was going strong until she realized that I live in Florida. Apparently, some moron in the FL State Legislature got a bill passed to "protect" senior citizens and you can't buy things like AppleCare+ online or over the phone!! You have to do it in person. Seriously?!? I'm a senior citizen and I knew exactly what I was trying to buy.........she even had to read the description even though I told her I knew all about AppleCare+. As my husband said, "If you're smart enough to go online and pre-order, and set up an iPad, surely you are capable of making a warranty purchase!!!!!!
I even tried calling the Verizon store here, since I bought a VZ version, and even they can't sell it!! Going to Orlando from the beach during Spring Break and Snowbird Season will take up most of a day.......all to spend $99. I may just skip it and keep my fingers crossed that I never need it in a year from now.

I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

Can you connect 2 separate apple tv in same house?

Yes you can use more than one Apple TV (we have 7)

Apple TV + Airport Express can you have two separate streams?

Can you run two separate streams using an AE to a stereo and ATV2 to a separate TV/stereo combo?

CaptFred,
Thanks. This is what I just figured out. I can't send two separate streams via remote or direct off the main computer (iMac). However, with the iMac streaming to Computer, AE, & ATV2 . . . I can pull home Home Sharing of the iMac from the MBP. If I select the already active AE speakers, the MBP tries to connect and says they are in use. When I select the AE speakers from the iPhone remote and turn them off (via remote) I can then select them from the MMP and stream different music to the AE (the other iMac originated stream continues uninterrupted).
Thanks again for kick to go try it .

If you mean in-app purchases, yes, in most cases a gift balance will work. Some apps do not accept gift balances, but I've not heard of a game where that is the case.

MBAs do not have user replaceable batteries. I'm not sure you could even buy third-party replacement batteries. You may be able to purchase an Apple part through places like ifixit.com.
