If i invite my child who is 24 to Family Share do they have to use the credit card I set up or will they have the option to use their own?

I want to set up Family Share, but I want my kids who are over 18 to have the ability to use their own credit cards when purchasing an app or something from iTunes. Is that possible or do they have to always use the card I have on file?

All purchases have to be charged to the organizer's card. The only way to avoid this would be for him to purchase and redeem iTunes store gift cards to create a credit on his iTunes store account. Then his purchases would first be deducted from his credit before any remaining balance would be charged to the organizer's card.

You need to contact Applecare at AppleCare phone number: (800)-694-7466, and ask to speak with iTunes consumer account protection.

You will need to update the address and country that you have on your account, and if using a credit card then that will need to be registered to that new address - you should be able to update them logging into your account via Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes

I am giving my iphone 4 to a friend who lives out of the US. Should I restore the phone to factory settings first which will remove all the apps or just remove my contacts - there is no app store in his country.

I am giving my iphone 4 to a friend who lives out of the US. His country does not have an app store so I'd like to leave the apps I have on the ip4 and just remove my contacts,mail,and calendar. Is this possible or once I remove the Sim card will all be lost ? I have upgraded to iOS 5 which runs fine.

Your friend won't be able to use your apps & the SLA does not permit you to share them with your friend anyway. You might as well restore the phone as a new device before sending the phone to your friend. That way, they can set it up themselves.

How can my child use an iTunes gift card to purchase apps instead of using my credit card?

My daughter (under 13 years of age) just redeemed her iTunes gift card she got for christmas, but there is seems to be no way she can pay with this in App Store. Can this be true? App Store says that her credit is 15 $ but my credit card is used for payments all the time...
And yes, we use Family Sharing - and yes my credit card works. But it is just no good that my credit card is being used when she has credit of her own (it was actually the point of giving her the gift card...).
Any solutions would be fantastic!

I can't seem to figure out how to redeem it in the iTunes store?
You can't directly.
I can't seem to figure out how to use my Apple gift card to buy an itunes gift card.
Apply it in the online Apple Store to gift card purchases.

HT2731 I have a student who is trying to set up an account however it is asking for Credit Card information. The choice of NONE does not appear as an option with the credit cards. Any assistance?

I have a student trying to set up an App Store account (she has an Apple ID), however she is being asked for credit card information. The option of NONE does not appear as one of the choices with the other credit cards.
Any assistance?

There are instrctions on this page for how to create a new account (it won't work with existing account) without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click on 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it.

Why can't I just use my debit card for adding my child to family share?!

I want to use my child on family share but can't because I don't need or want a credit card, my bank has fraud protection, who actually just called me about fraud because I purchased the newest iPhone! I don't like credit cards. Why can't I just use my debit card as usual? Kids can get credit cards just as easily as they can debit cards! This is ridiculous. Why isn't there another option to verify I am the parent?! I am so beyond angry right now. Like I am being punished for not owning a credit card!! Otherwise there will be another way to do this. A person should have the freedom to use their chosen form of payment without missing out on all the options available. Honestly even if I wanted a credit card I haven't enough credit because of past mistakes. So this is not making me happy at all.

Mad Parent,
I feel your pain. We refuse to have credit cards, too; yet it's required in order to create a child's apple id. I will most definitely be leaving feedback with Apple. This is absolutely ridiculous that we can't just use our debit cards! Mine is a VISA. I use it to make CREDIT CARD transactions everywhere else, why not be able to use it the same way here!?
I just had to restore my sons phone because he forgot his 4-digit password and got it disabled. I didn't have it already on my itunes so my only option was to restore it. I wanted to create his own apple id so he didn't have to keep using mine. Because every time he downloads a new game it automatically ends up on MY device as well, not just his. Anyway, he needs his own apple id. But, apparently, that won't be happening until Apple gets their heads out of their butts and figures out how to serve ALL of their customers!
Signed,
Equally Mad Parent

Family Share child purchases surprise!!

So I setup family share for my wife and kids. My 13 year old is all setup with her AppleId and has to ask for purchases off my main account. (App Store is logged in using her Apple ID - no cc)
When she tried to update her apps she was prompt with a notice stating all free apps will be copied to her Apple ID now.. Sure,, makes sense they are free.
For every free app she tried updating and copy to her Apple ID I had to authorize it and enter my password every time. (32 times to be exact! Quite annoying)
All previous apps I made with my Apple ID (which I'm now sharing with my family) she got no prompt and didn't have to ask permission. Weird...
So now the big test came up! Time to try buying an actual app! She picked an app and clicked on buy. She got a prompt stating she needed to ask permission. So she did,,, I got my prompt asking to approve the purchase on my credit card.
Well.. To my surprise.. The purchase ends up being linked to HER AppleId. She bought that app with my approval and my credit card....whattttt? I thought ALL purchases were still going to end up on MY AppleID... This is not at all how I thought this would work... If she disconnects from Family Share I don't have access to that app anymore...even though I bought it. I'd have to purchase it again.....
There really needs to be better documentation on how all of this works and some advanced options settings so that all family share purchases stay on the main AppleID Of whoever paid for it.
I think I'll set the AppStore Apple Id on all my kids devices to mine like I had it setup before ios8. That way all purchases will remain on my AppleId

Hi there oobeto,
From what you describe it sounds like you may need to invite the 3rd account to join Family Sharing. This section of the following article should help you out:
Start or join a family group using Family Sharing
Invite people to join your family
Use these steps in iOS 8:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Family > Add Family Member.
Enter your family member's name or email address.
Follow the onscreen instructions. After you send the invitation, you can check its status under the person's name in Settings > iCloud > Family.
Use these steps in OS X Yosemite:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
Click Manage Family.
Click +, then follow the onscreen instructions.
You can also use these steps to create an Apple ID for a child and add them to your family group. When you create an account for a child, you must use a credit card as the payment method as part of providing your parental consent. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card if you choose.
Join a family group
You can accept or decline an invitation to join a family from you iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If the invitation is sent to your email address, you can also respond right from your email. To accept an invitation in iOS 8, go to Settings > iCloud > Invitations. In OS X Yosemite, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Manage Family. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
Here's what you'll be asked to do when you join:
Confirm your Apple ID and password.
Choose if you want to share your content and which iTunes Store account you want to share from.
Choose if you want to share your location. If you agree, your location can be displayed on family members’ devices in Find My Friends and Messages, and the location of your shared devices will also appear on family members’ devices in Find My iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How can i set up a apple id account for my child without a credit card?

Hi i have set up family sharing but now want to set up a apple id for my daughter. i have attempted to do this but i do not have a credit card only my visa debit card or visa electron. I was wondering if there is any way i can set one up for her ipod with just one of my cards? I really dont want to lie about her age just to create one
Thank you

Hey Sonn.80,
Creating an Apple ID for a child requires the use of a credit card for your payment method in Family Sharing. See this article -
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
Specifcally -
Before you begin, make sure that you're using a credit card as your iTunes Store and App Store payment method. To comply with child online privacy protection laws, you will use the CVV or security code from a valid credit card as part of providing your parental consent. If the card on file is a debit card or another payment method, you’ll be asked to provide a credit card before you can continue. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
Brett L

HT5622 How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

Hi Kappy..
that did use to be the case but ios 8 you can create a child's Apple ID which will stay linked to the main Apple ID until they are 13 when they can if you wish take over the Apple ID themselves.
I Have the same question regarding creating an Apple ID for my son but it insists I have to add a credit card to prove I'm an adult.
thing is I don't have another card to add to my Apple ID I have been using the same card for all my family's Apple purchases i just update my details when I get issued a new one.
Any ideas or suggestions greatly accepted.
cheers

How do I set up an administrator account so my daughter who is under 13 , so she can access itunes herself. Main access will be via itunes vouchers . I don't want to create credit card access.

There is no such account. The iPod is really a one-user device
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

You can then redeem a gift card(s) into the account

My college kids charge on my credit card- how can I see who is charging what?Unlike all other vendors, you can't get info from apple 800 number on the charge

how can I find out what my college kids are buying on itunes. It is charged to my credit card number but the 800 number given to the credit card company takes me to the web site. I can only see purchases with my own account. Short of cutting off apple as a vendor is there a way to see this? Is there a way to look up purchases by the order number?

Hello Heidi;
Are these college kids your kids, or have you allowed details of your credit card to be more freely available? I can't believe the latter ... but who knows.
Anyhow; surely the purchases you see are what has been charged to your account. Assuming you know which of these are yours, the balance has to be that made by the 'College kids'.
Or is there more to this than meets the eye?

How to create child iTunes account without credit card

I Have my check card on file that can be used as debit or credit but iTunes says debit card on file. How can I create my child's account. I don't have a credit card

No, from Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids :

HT1420 Do I have to have a credit card linked to my childs itunes account,and if I do can I restrict its useage to only allow my child to use itunes cards?

Do I have to provide a credit card for my childs itunes account, and if I do, can I restrict my childs use of itunes strictly to prepaid itunes cards?

If you only want the free iPhone apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Alternatively, buy an iTunes card and use that to open your account in the iTunes Store.
Regards.
