Family share purchase not applied toward itunes gift card credit

I'm using the icloud family share program for my family.  My son has purchased some songs on itunes but my credit card is being billed instead of the credit balance I have on my shared itunes account.  Has anyone else had this same problem and how did you resolve it?

I believe the credit would have to be on his iTunes store account, not yours, in order to be applied to his purchases before any balance due is charged to the organizer's credit card.  Your purchases would be charged to your credit first.

  • HT5035 Can I apply my iTunes gift card previous purchase?

    Can I apply my iTunes gift card to songs I just purchased earlier today? If yes, how?
    I didn't realize I was supposed to redeem was card first.

    No, it will only be used for future purchases - you can try contacting iTunes Support and asking them if they can do anything, but I don't think that they will be able to do so : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ , click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    No. The money redeemed from the card is for you and only you. It can't be used for any sort of gift.

    The article from which you came has instructions on how to view your purchase history. Where in those instructions are you encountering difficulty?

  • How do I view my purchases made with an iTunes gift card?

    i want to view what I purchased on iTunes gift card But I'm unable to find it. I can find my balance on the card, no problem. Here is why, because I made some purchases at the App Store but the cost of the purchases subtracted from the balance does not add up. So I just want to verify the cost of each purchase, but I'm unable to do that.

    You can view your account's purchase history via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, you will need to go through them seeing which show as being charged to 'store credit' (i.e. your balance) : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support.
    That should show any applicable taxes that were applied (e.g. in the US the listed prices in the store don't include sales tax).

  • If i set up family sharing will my family loose the balance of their iTunes gift cards?

    If I set up family sharing, will my other family members loose the balance of their iTunes gift cards on their devices?

    They shouldn't lose the balance on their account (the balance is linked to the account, not the device), and when they buy something it should automatically be used : Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card.

  • They did not get my itune gift card in email. It is not very user friendly to get to a place where I can resend to them.  How can I get a new email sent with their gift? It was for Christmas

    I bought an itune gift card but my sister never received her email.  I can not easily find where to resend.  I did send an email for help but this is just not very 'slick' or user friendly.  How can I get her itune CHRISTMAS gift card re-sent?

    Having the same issue. My bank account has already been charged, but I can't find the purchase anywhere in my Apple account history to retrieve a code, and my son still has not received an email. This is not cool. I'm beginning to understand why so many people dislike the company.

  • How to purchase songs with a iTunes gift card balance added to your account

    I have redeemed an iTunes gift card to my iTunes account.  I now have a balance of $25.00.  When trying to purchase some songs to add to my iPod Shuffle, I do NOT find a dropdown box for either PURCHASE or BUY.  I can add the songs to my Wish List, send a link, gift a song, etc - but NO Purchase / buy option.  If I try to gift songs to myself, it will ask for a Billing Account.  Why must a Billing Account be added if I already have a balance of $25.00 to use.
    I have pulled a iPod Shuffle manual and it only tells me to Buy - if no option o Buy is available, just how do you do it??  This is EXTREMELY frustrating!!
    If anyone has an idea just how to accomplish this, please send instructions (since the manual on line does not spell it out).  Frankly I am disappointed in even purchasing the iPod Schuffle if I cannot even use the iTunes gift card I purchased.
    Thank You

    This web page serves are the "manual" for iTunes and the iTunes Store

    But if you have any questions about iTunes or your shuffle, you can always ask here in the forum...

    No. iTunes gift cards can only be "redeemed" for music, apps, books, etc., from the iTunes Store only.
