How dose family sharing work when one person wants to use a gift card?

kokogo,
Purchases made in the iTunes and App Stores will first attempt to use any store credit that exists on the purchaser's account. Barring sufficient credit, the family organizer's card will be used for the purchase.
First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

HT201209 I want to use a gift card to purchase music thru i tunes, have a $15 credit but i am asked to confirm my credit card info. How do I purchase using my $15 credit and not be charged on my credit card?

Hey,
Even tho iTunes is asking to confirm your credit card details, when you purchase something it will still draw from your iTunes balance first. I think it is just a security check to ensure no one else is using your account.
This happened to me a couple of days ago but i simply conformed my details and entered my card security code then itunes took the payment from my account balance.

I am a serviceman deployed to East Africa, and I bought an itunes gift card but cannot use it to purchase anything because itunes sends me to the billing page for a credit card but I only want to use the gift card, how do I get pass that?

Hello, deployed an want to use an itunes gift card after I put in the number to use it and purchase music itunes continues to take me back to the credit card billing page. I only want to use the gift card, how to I get pass the credit card billing page. Also as soon attempt to put in my new credit card number it immediately times out can this be associated to where I'm located?

Go to your account on your computer and set the credit card to none. This will allow you to use the gift card.

How does Family Sharing work if both members have iTunes Match subscriptions?

I wanted to add someone to my family sharing in the new iOS 8 but we both have separate iTunes match subscriptions. How are those two subscriptions effected if she is added to my family sharing or are the two match accounts merged? Any advice on this would be great.

I'm still trying to figure out this family sharing thing, but I THINK the other person will still be logged in with their own apple id, so they would have access to their own iTunes match, and not yours. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to "family share" iTunes match. Like I said, i'm still working on it, but so far on the one account i've set it up on, I didn't have to log that user out.

Why do i need to give them my credit card when i just want to redeem a gift card

I have itunes set up on our home computer. We got a iTunes gift card, so we tried to buy an album I entered the verification code on the back of the card. the top righthand side of the screen successfully registered the $15. Then when I went to buy an album, it wouldn't let me unless I entered credit card information. Why does it demand my credit card when I am not paying by credit card? When you buy something at a store with cash or a gift card, they don't demand your credit card.

Please see the information here -> Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…

How does display sharing work? (i.e. a MBA using a 27" iMac as ext display)

I have a 27" iMac, and am considering a MacBook Air: one consideration in choosing the MBA (which has a smaller screen that I would choose) is that if i can use the iMac at home as ext displaym then I can live when travelling with the smaller MBA display (vs. a 15" MBP).
However, when I hook the MBA to the iMac, how do I toggle the iMac display between iMAc and the MBA?
Also, does hooking them up via MiniDP mean that the iMac keyboard and mouse will control the MBA? Or will I need to sit at my desk with two of each?
Thanks

You can keep your MacBook Air open and use the iMac as display #2. You will use the MacBook Air's keyboard and trackpad (or mouse) to control the machine.
You can keep the MacBook Air plugged in and closed, connect an external keyboard and external mouse/trackpad and run the MacBook Air in "closed clamshell" mode. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131?viewlocale=en_US
The hardest part is finding a mini display port to mini display port cable. In theory, you may be able to use the iMac's video and audio with a MacBook Air. No guarantees on that. You will need the latest spec on the cable and just finding a cable may be a challenge.

How can I transfer files from one person to another using iClouds?

Good day to everyone. Prior to migrating to iCloud I enjoyed the use of iDisk that allowed me to perform the file share service with ease. I cannot find my way to doing the same with iCloud, can anyone help me?

DropBox is good: my personal preference would be for Sugarsync as you can sync any number of nominated folders instead of being limited to a specific DropBox folder. There are more details of both in the page I linked to.
I'll second Roger's recommendation for SugarSync, more flexibility, wider range of supported devices and more free storage than DropBox.

HT1920 I redeemed 2 gift cards totaling $25.00 today. I purchased iTunes today and wanted to use the gift card but I was charged on my credit card for the purchase. How can I correct this?

Is there a way to transfer itunes purchased with a credit card to iTunes gift cards redeemed today?

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,

HT201359 My wife and I want to use different credit cards to pay for our personal purchases while still being part of the Family. How is that possible?

My wife and I want to use different credit cards to pay for personal purchased will being part of a family share.. How is that possible?

Ricki46,
Thank you for allowing me to clarify. As it says in that article:
"When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit."
These are the only current billing options in Family Sharing. Using a second credit card is not currently an option.
If you need further clarification, you can use one of the other support options here: https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

Welcome to the forum.
I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
Good luck,
Hunt

HT201454 How do you handle family members outside the household being a part of the Family Sharing program? I don't want them using my credit card for itunes and/or apps on their phones - just want to be able to share pictures/videos.

Wanted to include my sister and parents in the Family Sharing group under the iCloud app, but I don't want them using my credit card for their purchases. We just wanted to be able to share pictures and/or videos and find each other, if necessary. Is there a way around my card being the default for them when they go to purchase something?

If you don't want your sister to make purchases on your credit card, then Family Sharing is not an appropriate way to do what you want. You can use Find my Friends to locate each other and you can use Shared Photo Streams to share photos.

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?
