How can my daughter use her gift cards without it charging my credit card first?

With Family Sharing, how can gift card be used first before the owner is billed?
My daughter has several gift cards, when she tried to make a purchase it would not allow her to input her gift card information. It automatically wants to bill me?

Hi lindafromharvest,
Your daughter and other members of your family group will want to enter any gift cards into their account before making purchases that they want to put on the gift card. To redeem the card see this article -
Redeem iTunes Gift Cards and content codes
Purchases made by accounts with gift balances will be billed before the family sharing credit card. See this article -
How iTunes Store purchases are billed
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

  • How can my daughter, using her mac, get access to a movie I made and stored on my mac itunes library.  Can cloud help?

    My daugter in in Florida and I am in Japan.  Is it possible to place a video that I made (currently in my itunes library) on the cloud and then have her access the cloud and download the movie.
    thank you - Tony

    Not really.  The easiest way is to get free Dropbox accounts and place the file there for her to pick up.

  • HT3702 It's saying that I can't bye anything without a creditcard when i was able to before my account was broken, but I have it now. How can I continue using only gift cards?

    I can't even buy free apps

    Launch iTunes on your computer.
    From the menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Reset warnings and Reset cache
    Click OK.
    Restart your computer, launch iTunes.
    Click Store > Check for Available Downloads...

    You can't, Apple does not allow it.

  • Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

    Dear Colleagues,
    I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
    My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit ourcompany's needs.
    >
    The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users
    to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
    >
    Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to findout about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and
    the answer we got back, was.
    >
    Now we need to develop our own security module.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our ownapplication-based security module?
    >
    2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users'password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when
    these expire?
    >
    At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page andthere some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you
    could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can
    write our own security module.

  • HT1541 I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I purchase an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

    I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I buy an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

    Sorry, but it's quite possible that you can't. If there's an Apple Store in the country to which you want to give the gift, you can call them ask ask if they'll accept a Canadian credit card for a gift card purchase to be shipped to an address in the relative's country. If they won't, then you'd have to find an independent reseller in that country that carries iTunes gift cards who could accept your credit card, and there may be none.
    Regards.

  • How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule ...

    So, I am in Oklahoma and my daughter is in Tennessee...
    She has a Time Capsule where the Wi-fi base station quit working, but the hard drive may be OK.
    She bought an Airport Express to use as a wi-fi router.
    The question, then, is:
    How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule to do Time Machine backups?
    Thank you very much for your insights.
    Roberto

    It can be done but is very messy. That is assuming the TC is still functional which I kind of doubt.. the wifi is seldom the only thing that will die .. so whatever problems it has the wifi would be the least of it.
    Anyway.. do a factory reset to get started.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    If the LED is not lit then the TC is dead, not just the wireless.
    The setup for using the TC is explained in the bottom of this thread.
    TC in a second local network.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
    The idea is to set the TC to provide router function.. and the computer plugged in by ethernet to as a second network.. but there are rules on how this is done which I have explained in that thread.
    I notice that Mountain Lion deals better with order of network priority than Snow Leopard used to .. so it might not need to have manually set gateway and dns.. although I would still recommend it. It simply stops the second network causing issues.
    It is much easier to simply purchase an external drive and plug that in.
    It is cheaper, faster and more reliable than using the TC for TM anyway.
    Plus a lot of the later machines no longer have ethernet ports.. and using dongles is far from neat.. although thunderbolt to ethernet is IMHO necessary accessory for anyone without ethernet.

  • HT2736 how can i get a itunes gift cards and itunes gifts code ?

    how can i get a itunes gift code?

    Whether you can get an iTunes gift card depends upon what country that you are in - they are not available in all countries and they are country-specific, they can only be used in their country of issue and only onto accounts that are based in that country. If they are available in your country then you might be able to get them from Apple, or from electrical stores, supermarkets etc

  • HT2736 How to purchase music using a gift card from my iPod touch

    It doesn't let me purchase music and I'm using a gift card and using my iPod touch to purchase it

    Assuming you sync with iTunes then there will be a backup maintained by iTunes. Just sync the iPhone with iTunes to transfer everything from the backup to the phone.

  • HT201209 My daughter lost her gift card for ITunes but we still have the receipt from the purchase. How can we redeem her gift card without the card?

    My daughter lost her ITunes gift card but we still have the receipt. How can we activate the gift card?

    Go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They usually will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt, so you should contact the person who gave her the card and ask if they can send you a copy of the receipt. Many resellers provide a gift receipt for just this sort of purpose.
    Regards.

  • I bought the wrong gift card. I wanted to buy an itunes gift card but instead I accidentally got Apple store gift card via email. How can I buy an itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

    I Wanted to buy itunes gift card but instead I got apple store gift card accidentally how can I buy itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

    You can't from Apple, they don't let you buy iTunes gift cards with an Apple Store gift card. You could see if a different store in your country might let you (though they possibly won't), or try selling the card to somebody e.g. family, friend, eBay etc
