HT1420 How can I control purchases from iTunes?

My kids are downloading songs way too often, without asking permission. I need to set up some sort of password protection. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The iTunes Store always has a password for your account. You may just need to log out of your iTunes Store account when you're not using it, if your kids are sharing a single account, and perhaps change your password if they know it. If they have their own accounts, again you may wish to change the passwords and not let them know the new ones. You can also turn off the iTunes Store completely in the Parental section of the iTunes preferences on your computer. Then they can't buy anything unless you unlock the restriction. 
If this is on the iPhone, turn off the ability to install apps and to make "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your iPhone, and set the password to be required immediately. For more information, see:

Regards.

    If Apple doesn't have an iTunes store available in your country, you can't purchase anything from the iTunes store. In order to purchase content from the iTunes store available in another country, you must have a credit card or payment method with a billing address in that country.

    You will need a Backup Extractor program; there are many available. I use iScavenge for Mac, but there are many more. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=iphone+backup+extractor The one at the top of the search claims to be free, but it is not. Don't be fooled. I can't recommend for or against any of them, except iScavenge, which is OK.
    If you are technically inclined the backup is a SQLite database, so a SQLite browser can also open the backup.

  • How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod

    Please help!!!!
    How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod classic 160GB?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I assume you've already consisdered manually managing your iPod's contents and rejected that idea.
    I wouldn't recommend it as a solution, but if you delete the files for the albums leaving the entries in the iTunes library you can carry on syncing normally. iTunes will complain that it can't sync the missing files but it won't remove the copies from your iPod. Once you're happy with how things work you can can choose to suppress the error message.
    While handy as a temporary workaround if space is an issue then it's probably time to look at moving your whole library to a bigger drive.

  • HT1420 How to delete an account from itunes

    My boss received a new iphone5 and I hooked his phone up to my computer which caused iTunes to come up automatically.  I did set up him an account with his email address, credit card info and password.  However, all my iphone4 information is downloading on his phone.  How can I stop this from happening.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    In regards to the account I'm trying to get rid of, I also tried resetting the password by using the security questions but the first one is my birthday and it won't even accept that. I've forgotten a lot of stuff in the past but never my birthday so I'm putting the correct info in. It's like the account doesn't even exist?
