How can my family member use their iTunes credit for a purchase when part of family sharing

I've set up family sharing with my husband and children. They all have iTunes gift cards with credit on their accounts. I am wondering how they are able to make purchases in the app store using this credit rather than the family share credit card.

If they have credit in their individual accounts, that credit will be used before the organizer's credit card is charged.

HT203905 Why can't I use iTunes credit to make purchased when I have family sharing on?

So I have heaps of iTunes credit, trying to buy a song, and because I am the organiser of a family sharing account, I have to make my purchased on a credit card? Am I missing something here, I have credit but can't even use it for myself?

HT1689 how do i use an iTunes credit for a purchase of an app. I purchased the app but my store credit balance is the same as before the purchase. it looks like credit was not used?

How do i use itunes credits when making a purchase of an app?

When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

When I try to set up family sharing I get "This account is already shared by another family member. Family sharing works best if every family member uses their own account." how do I reset? I can't find where it is being used.

Hi jmeckoll1,
It sounds as if you are trying to set up family sharing starting with an Apple ID which someone has already used to start a family group. Presumably this person is within the family group you want to share with. One solution to this issue would be to ask to join this family group. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Join a family
If this is not the desired result, you will need to set up your own family group using an unused Apple ID that is in use for iCloud. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

HT204053 The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now?

The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs. How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.

You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs.

How can I make server use single class loader for several applications

I have several web/ejb applications. These applications use some common libraries and should share instances of classes from those libraries.
But applications are being deployed independently thus packaging all them to EAR is not acceptable.
I suppose the problem is that each application uses separate class loader.
How can I make AS use single class loader for a set of applications?
Different applications depend on different libraries so I need a way that will not share library for all applications on the domain but only for some exact applications.
When I placed common jar to *%domain%/lib* - all works. But that jar is shared between all applications on the domain.
When I tried to place common jar to *%domain%/lib/applibs* and specified --libraries* attribute on deploying I got exception
java.lang.ClassCastException: a.FirstDao cannot be cast to a.FirstDaoHere http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19879-01/820-4336/6nfqd2b1t/index.html I read:
If multiple applications or modules refer to the same libraries, classes in those libraries are automatically shared.
This can reduce the memory footprint and allow sharing of static information.Does it mean that classes should be able to be casted ?

You didn't specify which version of the application server you are using, but the config is similar as long as you know what to look for. Basically, you need to change the classloader delegation. Here's how it is done in 8.2

How can i cancel the using of "Only calls for emergency?"

How can I cancel the using of "only calls for emergency?"

In the USA, you cannot. I believe it is an FCC requirement that all cell phones be enabled to dial 911, even if they do not have an active contract or prepaid service assigned to them.

Can members of a family group use their own credit card or payment method other than the Family Organizer's credit card?

In Family Sharing, is the Family Organizer's credit card the only method of payment for all family members? Or can family members also pay with their own credit card?

Hello Trisa295,
Family sharing payments are all managed by the Organizer, and only the billing information on that account can be used to pay for an iTunes purchase. Take a look at this info from the following article:
Family purchases and payments
With Family Sharing, one adult in the family—the family organizer—agrees to pay for any iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases that other family members initiate while they're part of the family group. This also includes ongoing subscription purchases initiated by family members, such as iCloud storage, iTunes Match, and Newsstand subscriptions.
If the members of the Family have credits or have iTunes Gift cards redeemed, that balance gets used first so an option you all have is to apply iTunes credit in some way to these member accounts:
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.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

How can I see who uses my iTunes shared library?

Is there anyway I can see who uses my iTunes shared library?
I'm just curious because I am in college living in the dorms and I just was bored and interested.
Thanks

How can I buy apps using an iTunes gift card

I redeemed my gift card in iTunes, I have a credit value, yet when I purchased an app through App Store, the balance did not come of off the gift card value, how do I ensure that all purchases are made using the giftcard?

This works for me in the UK, I would assume it should elsewhere too.
You are using the same ID for both?

How does one get to use their apple id for the first time?

I registered for an Apple ID, which was successsful, but i can't seem to use it, because everytime i try to use it on iTunes it says I have never used this account before, and directs me to the review option which i select but it does the same thing all over again and I can't upgrade to the latest version, because System Preference is failing to open when I try to open the **** thing

Hi RegoAntony,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are describing. If you are trying to use your Apple ID for the first time in the iTunes Store, you may find the following article helpful:
Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store

How can I have a use a variable view for a Popover in Xcode Applescript-ObjC?

I'm adding Popovers to my application, but I have it coming from buttons in different views. One button might be in a Tab-View, and one in the main window. If I specify the wrong view, the Popover is off to the left and down, like the image below:
Here's my code:
on OpenPopover_(sender)
Popover's showRelativeToRect_ofView_preferredEdge_(sender's frame(), MainWindow's contentView(), current application's NSMaxYEdge)
end OpenPopover_
How can I use a variable view or not specify the view at all so that the buttons can be in different views without having to use multiple pieces of code, using Applescript-ObjC, Xcode?

You are using the content view of the entire window instead of whatever view the button is in - the frame rectangles are relative to the view it is in.
The method parameters are a rectangle that is relative to the view (to position the popover), the view containing the rectangle, and the edge of the rectangle to use. To position relative to a button, you can get the button's superview (the containing view), for example:
popover's showRelativeToRect_ofView_preferredEdge_(sender's frame(), sender's superview(), current application's NSMaxYEdge)

Can a family member use my iCloud storage for photos?

Hope I'm not being obtuse, but the answer to this isn't clear to me from the various "help" menus.
The situation is complicated by my living 50 miles from my elderly father.
I need about 50 GB for my photos, but have to pay for 200, of course.
So, is there a way for my Dad, who is a member of my iCloud/App/Whatever family to move HIS photo library from HIS computer to MY iCloud account without having to purchase more iCloud space for his personal account? (His photo library also - barely - exceeds the limit of the next increment of storage available so that i'll have to buy him 200GB if there isn't a way to share the storage from my iC account.
Hope this question is understandable - I don't know how else to frame it.
Thank you for all responses.

Duh! Nevermind. I think I definitely WAS being obtuse about how to share photos.

How can I stop Firefox from remembering a password for a site, so anyone on a shared computer can't use it?

Someone who used our home computer must have clicked "Do you want Firefox to remember this password?" when using one of my shopping sites. So now when I try to sign in to that site, the password and email are already filled in, and I just have to click. Anybody can do that and I want to stop it. Tried changing the password, but it was no good.

I am trying to get Java to work on my Firefox browser. I have followed all the suggestions on the Java website and also all that I can find on the Mozilla support.
Can anyone please help me as this is important to my work.
When I do a check on the java website it says I need a plugin; but when I try to check which plugin, there is no plug in that is available. I have checked my plug in manager and all my plugins are up to date.
Please help. (I have downloaded the latest java - java SE7 update 25)

How can I make iMovie use my external HD for projects instead of my Internal HD?

I only have a 250GB internal HD and using iMovie can take up a lot of space. I moved all my movie files to an external HD, but when I start up iMovie none of them show up. I have to import them back which places it on my internal HD and I really don't have much space so I can't do anymore projects. Can anyone help me? I am using version 7.1.4 .

With version 7.1.4 of iMovie, you must keep your projects on the startup drive. However, the Events contain the large files, and can be moved to the external drive.
You must move the Events from within iMovie. Click VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME. This will show you alll your properly formatted drives that are available. (The external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Then, in the Event Library, you can drag and drop the small icons for the Events to the small icon for the drive in the Event Library List along the left side.
If you need to move Projects also, you should upgrade to iMovie 11. It is available in the Mac App Store for about $15.
Another note: In iMovie 7.1.4, you can move Events by dragging. However, in iMovie 8.06 (iMovie 09) and iMovie 9.0.4 (iMovie 11), drag and drop will copy. You have to hold down the Command Key while dragging to move rather than copy.
