ITunes account to pay for gift apps and Apple Store items

Is there a reason why i cannot use my iTunes account funds to pay for gifted apps and Apple Store items?
it only make sense.

You can use your iTunes Store balance to purchase from the Mac App Store, but not from the Apple Online Store.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4463, "Note: If you have an existing credit balance on your iTunes Store account, that balance will be shared across the iTunes Store and Mac App Store."

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

No.
If my account has been compromised
If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.
See this -> Apple ID: Changing your password

Okay, update the payment details in iTunes. Seems simple and straightforward enough.

HT201304 How do I prevent paying for an app and what is an in app restriction

How do I prevent paying for an app and what is an in app restriction

You can't prevent paying for an app if you buy one. You can, however, turn off the ability to install apps in the Restrictions settings (Settings/General) which blocks the App Store app on the iPhone. You can also block making purchases of extra features or capabilities from within an app, which is referred to as an "in-app purchase", in the same Restrictions.

Can I pay for an app and have it sent to another computer

Can I pay for an app with my account and have it sent to my grandson's computer?

Theresa...
No. Reason being you purchased the app using your Apple ID. It would not work on his computer.
If you click the gray arrow to the right of the purchase price of an app, if you see, "Gift This App", then you can send that as a "gift" but only apps with that option.
If he doesn't have one, he will need to setup an iTunes account > Apple - My Apple ID
iTunes Store Terms & Conditions require that he be at least 13 yrs of age > iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

My husband and I share an ITunes account. He gets my apps and I get his. How can this be separated. I am also getting his contacts. My Icloud is turned off!

My husband and I share an I tunes account.
This was never a problem until I Cloud was born.
I have turned off the Icloud on my I phone4 all together.
He has Iphone 4S and is getting all the apps I purchase and I am getting his contacts.
How can this be solved. If I get my own Itunes account do I have to purchase my apps again?
Help!

If you use another iTunes ID you can keep your apps, but you need to do some settings first.
Read the hlep infos.

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device? 
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
And about the iCloud, I'm not very sure about that. I think maybe you don't need to turn off all of the iCloud settings, just the items you don't want to sync with your husband. For the apps, you can cancel 'automatically download purchased items' in the settings on iOS devices.
May these informations will help you.

My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which resulted in his apps and music being synced to my iPhone and mine to his. . . very annoying. So I created a new iTunes account, but now no devices show up in the sidebar so I can't sync my phone.

My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which meant that when he synced his iPhone, all his apps and music appeared on mine as well, and vice versa. This was annoying, so I created my own account and have changed the Apple id on my phone. However, when I try to sync it on iTunes, no devices at all show up in the sidebar. What am I doing wrong?

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

If I Create a New iTunes Account, will I lose my Apps and Songs?

My wife has an Apple Id and I have another.
We share the same music library on our desktop but any purchases from iTunes in terms of Apps and Songs are only limited to the device/apple ID that we bought it with.
So here's my question: if I create a new Apple Id that will be used with her iPad, my iPhone and her iPhone will we:
- Be able to keep the Apps and songs we bought with the original Apple IDs?
- If so, will they be deleted once I sync it or will I lose saved games (I play Grand Theft Auto), etc?
- Will we both lose our contacts on our phones?
- If I so, can I retrieve the current contacts I have on the cloud and import into the new account?
In terms of the contacts, should I just work on a project to make sure that all my contacts are on my GMail and let my iPhone use that one as default and do the same for her so I don't have to worry about it?
Thanks!

I have three different accounts and at some time or another have bought apps with them all. If there is an update the Iphone automatically asks me to login with the appropriate credentials to update. They all live happily on Itunes and I can log in and out on Itunes as well with no ill effects.

Cannot synch or d/l new os5 software. Cannot access apple store. I called support and they wouldn't help unless I pay for it. Called apple store and they laughed over the phone

Very frustrated with Apple. I have removed and re-downloaded itunes software at least a dozen times. When I plug in phone to synch, itunes does come up. Cannot access apple store. Programs stalls in middle and freezes my PC. I cannot download any apps, music or new OS5. Tried calling support, they will not help unless I pay for the help. Then called the nearest Apple store and they laughed at me over the phone.
I did notice that quicktime did not download with itunes. Had to download quicktime separately.
What do I do to get this software to work?

I have been waiting for two days for an app to install on my iPad. Seems like something is stuck as it just keeps displaying "installing". Can not see where I can delete and start over and it's preventing me from updating or downloading any more games. Acts like a corrupt file or something. Can anyone help solve this problem? Thanks

Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
doubt there's an issue there.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
(and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
Thanks....

I have an itunes account but got a gift card and don't want my credit card charged. What do I do?

The "help" in iTunes doesn't help me with the following:
I received a gift card for Xmas. I want to purchase music. I don't want my credit card charged. Where are the instructions and the processes for allowing me to use the gift card rather than my credit card?

redeem your gift card
buy something

I made an itunes account last night for my sister and now i cant access it. HELP

okay i made this account for her just recently. however it will not take the password at all. but for some reason, it only takes the password on rare occasions and tells me that i need to verify the account. i have not gotten any of the emails or password resets. and when i try to answer the security question it says my date of birth doesnt match the records. i just cant get into this account, and i just put money on it to complete making it. so why is it doing this and how can i fix it? also, when i seach for my apple id, it doesnt turn up on the records either...maybe bc its not verified?

Hi,
If this was an @Mac.com name the password neds to be less then 17 characters (It can be up to 16 as ths is an AIM server Limit)
The Apple Registration page does not tell you this.
IF this applies to you change your password at iForgot
It appears that iCloud (@me.com) names set up since iCloud was "released" cannot be used in Snow Leopard/iChat 5 or earlier.

Edit the information that you would like to change.Note: The payment methods that the iTunes Store accepts can be found in the payment type section. If you do not want a payment method on your account, select None in the payment type section.
