HT2736 Does one need to have an iTunes Account (connected to their credit card) in order redeem gifted application?
I need to find out if I can send multiple apps in the form of gifts to people who do not have itunes accounts(connected to their credit cards).
Is that possibile?
My goal would be to be able to send an app to someone who can then either right on their ipad or though itunes download the app without entering any credit card information or having to login to itunes.
thanks

How does one set up two different iTunes accounts on the same computer so that they do not merge into one?

So, when the other iTunes account needs to be used, I should log out of Windows and have the other user log in under a different Windows account, correct?
M Parker,
Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do. -
I live in Italy but am Australian and opened my itunes account with my Italian credit card and address, but that does not let me access itunes in any English country which is what I had wanted. Apple tell me I need to open separate accounts, complete with address and tel. Yesterday they told me I could do that with an itunes prepaid card but on the Aust itunes store the card was considered invalid (obviously because it is in Euro) Any suggestions? I am sure I am not the only person living in another country who needs access to itunes in their mother tongue......how backward is Apple!
To be able to download content from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country, and be in that country when buying from it.
Apple can only sell content where the content provider's grant them licenses to do so, so if the music etc that you want to buy isn't available in the Italian store then it's because the provider's aren't letting Apple sell it there. Do you have access to other music purchase download sites which have the content that you want ? -
I need to delete either my Itunes account or delete the credit card information because my account has been hacked.
You can't delete an account, and all of the account's downloads will remain tied to the account.
On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you haven't already done so then you may want to contact iTunes Support to let them know : 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 -
Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ? Cheers
I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.

If I make a new iTunes account with the same credit card number can I still have the same thing I bought from my other account?
Not without buying them from the new iTunes Store account.

Can you set up an iTunes account w/out a credit card?
Ok, here's the deal... I'm buying a 10 year old an iPod Touch for Christmas. She needs to have her own iTunes account for purchasing stuff (apps, music, etc.) Is it possible to set up an iTunes account WITHOUT adding a credit card? I need her to operate completely off of iTunes gift cards so that I can 1) controll how much she spends, 2) avoid having to either enter my password every time she wants to buy a Justin Bieber song with my debit card, and 3) avoid random charges popping up on my credit card whenever she does purchase said Bieber songs by letting her know the password in an attempt to accomplish task #2...
Is there a way to set up an iTunes account without entering billing information? So that the account operates on 100% iTunes credit? Is there a parental setting to block access to the card used to set up the account? With all the kids with iPods there has GOT to be a way to set this up... or else there are probably a LOT of broke parents chasing after them....Glad this helped!

I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?
When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

My wife and I recently purchased 2 new iphone 4's. I have an itunes account with tones of songs. How do I sync the phones with my itunes account? Since there are 2 phones, do we need to open a second itunes account? If so, is there anyway to transfer music from one account to another?
You can both share the same iTunes account for iTunes content, but you need separate Apple ID's to use iCloud, iMessage, FindMyPhone & FaceTime. The Apple ID's for iCloud, etc. MUST be verifiable email addresses. If you don't setup separate Apple ID's for this suff, you'll have a mess on your hands. Here's Apple's support document on using multiple devices on one computer:

hello all,
i have an account on iTune, can i replace the email with another one and keep all information of credit card? sorta like creating a new account but you are not?
or do i need to create new account but keep the credit card information?
thanks allYou have posted in the itunes U forum, where colleges, universities and museums post educational content for students.
Try posting in the appropriate forum.
Do not create a new account. Go to your account in itunes and change whatever you like. Your account name is in the upper right corner of itunes. Click the drop down arrow and select account. -
Set up itunes account with two different credit cards
Is it possible to set up an existing iTunes Store Account with two different credit cards?
I am currently registered with a personal card but wish to make one purchase for work (Lion OS) using a company credit card.
many other sites let you choose what card to pay from, multiple addresses, etc. but I don't see any options from apple site.
for this purchase I am considering:
1. going into the "edit payment information".
2. editing all the info related to the company card and address.
3. completing the purchase and download
4. going back to the payment info and putting back my original personal informaton.
there must be an easier way -- or is this the only apple offering.
any advice appeciated. TIA.the_0ne wrote:
but this discussion is clearly for people that have multiple accounts because they have multiple credit cards.
This is incorrect.
It is very clearly for people with a single iTunes account and they want to use multiple credit cards for purchases on that single iTunes account.
If I had one iTunes account with multiple credit cards registered (which again, is what this discussion is in reference to),
Huh? You just wrote it was NOT that.
I bought Lion through my company, which means I logged into the App Store with my company's credentials, of which I have my company credit card registered.
You mean your company paid for it. You are simply the one who did the purchasing using company funds.
I now have a new iMac of which I want to install Lion. Apple allows you to install this same install multiple times on your own personal machines. I had to remember which account I bought Lion on so that I logged into the App Store correctly. If I would have logged into my new iMac with my personal account, I would have then bought Lion again, of which I didn't want to do.
But you did not purchase Lion with your personal account. It was purchased on your business account.
If you want Lion on your persona/home computers, you will need to purchase it.
I also wanted to install iPhoto. I bought iPhoto on my personal account. I had to then log out of the app store from my company account and log back in using my personal account to install iPhoto or I would have just bought iPhoto with my company's credit card, of which I would have been in a good amount of trouble.
Imagine if I bought 3 or 4 apps a week and these apps were scattered across my business account and my personal account. Each time I wanted to install these apps on one of my multiple machines in my house, I would have to remember which account I bought the app on. or go to my purchases or which there could possibly be dozens of apps in each account.
I would hope that your company requires you to track purchases you have made with their money.
And I would think that you would want to keep track of all business purchases so you can get reimbursed (for the purchases you made on their behalf). If/when you leave the company, they can get company owned software that you purchased with their funds. -
Itunes - How to use a credit card with a remaining gift card balance
In iTunes, I'm running into an issue where I have a gift card that is tied to my account and i have 4$ left on the card. I want to buy a song using my credit card, and I have successfully entered my credit card information into my account, but I don't know of a way to explicitly buy a iTunes song and charge my credit card rather than having it pull from my gift card's remaining balance.
Please let me know if there is explicitly charge your credit card even with a remaining gift card balance. In recent songs that I've bought, iTunes has been automatically defaulting to use my registered gift card rather than the credit card I have on file.I'm having a similar issue: just redeemed a gift card for $25. I can see it in the upper right corner. Yet when I select a song to download, I am (again) asked to sign in and select a credit card to use. I don't want to use a credit card, I want to use the $25 card. This hasn't happened to me before now. If I click the 'redeem gift card' option in the credit card screen, it correctly says that that card has already been redeemed.

I have an IPhone 4 my daughter the newest IPod. Our ITunes accounts are not linked and have 2 separate passwords. i would like to link them so I can have the passwork and therefore control the charging on my credit card. How can I do this?

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

Why is there no "cancel" button anywhere in OS X?
In Windows, there is almost always a "cancel" button to undo your changes. So, for example, if you changed a bunch of settings in windows but change your mind, you can hit "cancel" and it'll simply undo everything you changed and exit you out of the
