Multiple users with gift cards

I am so surprised that I haven't seen this topic. We have 3 kids that all constantly receive itunes gift cards. Using them and keeping track has been a nightmare! Is there a way that they can keep their gift cards separate from each other? I can't imagine we are the only ones!!
And it wouldn't be that hard for apple to have mini gift card accounts for each child with separate passwords solely for that purpose.
With the kabillions of $$$ being generated from itunes cards, I think this should be a given.
We, a VERY apple family, would appreciate the effort tremendously!!
Looking forward to hear how others deal with this or with great hopes that Apple will,

Just set each child up with his or her own account in the iTunes Store. Then you can keep all the various gift cards separate just by redeeming each child's gift card in his or her own iTunes Store account. If everyone is using the same iTunes library, they'll have to remember to log out of their iTunes Store account when they're done purchasing.
Regards.

  • Setting up two  iPod Touches on one account with gift cards for app and in-app purchases

    I have multiple devices on one account - 2 iPod classics, one iPhone 3G and two recently acquired iPod Touches for my 8 year old boys.  They want to make in-app purchases (for Dragonville).  They each have their own gamecenter ID.  I want to set up each of them with gift cards for their purchases.  Is this possible?
    If not, what is the recommended approach to manage all devices in one place while allowing individual devices to have a seperate payment mechanism?
    Thanks.

    I recommend that you
    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. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    To make sure you only sync the media yoo want, configure iTunes syncing so that only checked media is synced to the idevices.

    Why do you keep making multiple posts with this issue? You have now posted it three times in the last hour and have two different people helping you in two different threads!

  • There are multiple users with the same display name

    Hi,
    We have a user and when she get an item assigned to her she sees the following alert:
    "There are multiple users with the same display name USERNAME and at least one of them does not have read permissions to some of the files"
    Now I looked in the database and when I run the following query with the username:
     SELECT     
         [ProviderDisplayName]  
        ,[DisplayName]  
        ,[HasDisplayName]  
        ,[Domain]  
        ,[AccountName]  
        ,[UniqueUserId]  
        ,[LastSync]  
      FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_Identity] where displayname like '%USERNAME%'  
    Then I get 2 same usernames back, How can I get rid of one of them ? When I access TFS trough the portal I only find 1 occurence of this user.
    We use VS2013 and TFS2013 update 4
    Best regards

    Hi DSW,  
    Thanks for your post.
    In your query result, please check if these two users have the same Account Name. if they are two different Account Name in result, it indicate there’s two users have the same display name in your AD, please check that two users’ information in
    your AD. We suggest change one user’s display name in AD.

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • Can I use multiple Apple store gift cards per transaction or is it has to be one gift card per transaction?

    Can I use multiple Apple store gift cards (£25 each) per transaction or is it has to be only one gift card per transaction?? Does anyone know thanks

    Hola, Eddy
    notice that you have posted to an old thread (Oct-Nov2013) that actually took quite some time to get attention back then**
    I recommend that you contact the Store Group regarding your purchase question - don't let the "iTune-ish" URL and page title throw you off... it's the right place
    Store Group - Contact Us - Apple Support
    ** next time you have a question, I advise to check the dates carefully and if older than a month or so, AND it has no answer to your specific issue, start a NEW Question. You did a fine job of stating your exact issue - many folks, not so much.

  • Is it possible to setup multiple users with the exact same calendar?

    I am trying to setup exchange with 3 users where each user sees exactly the same calendar all precisely in sync. I don't need the users to have their own calendar. Sharing a calendar from 1 user to the others does not work for me because I need it to be
    in sync with all the users' mobile devices as well as outlook.
    Thanks

    Hi dneray,
    Base on my knowledge, it is impossible to setup multiple users with the exact same calendar.
    However, as a workaround, you can try to set up a shared mailbox within these users as a shared calendar for them to share.

  • Connection issue with Gift Card

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem when trying to connect to iTunes Store to redeem a gift card. Whenever I push button "use code" (please apologize for translation: I'm using the italian version), I get a message saying that iTunes Store could be busy and I should verify Internet connection.
    But when I run iTunes Diagnostics everything is OK.
    The issue won't happen (I think) if I buy a song normally.
    I'm using the newest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3) and I've de-activate Widnows Firewall but the problem still occurs.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance
    Riccardo

    Hello there sam234,
    Gift cards are always awesome to purchase, and even better to receive! I’m sad to hear that you seem to be having continued issues with one you may have purchased from us. Generally speaking, we can usually resolve the issues with gift cards, especially if they are Best Buy gift cards.
    That being said, I am sending you a private message to gather further details about the $50 gift card you seem to be having troubles with. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum and clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

    I'm assuming you have the lastet OSX version 10.9 "Mavericks." Here are some useful links from Apple I think will help:

    and a video:

    I suspect you have a newer iMac than the pre-2006 models this forum covers (the forum labels are unbelieveably vague). If you can confirm that yours is newer than 2005, I can ask the Hosts to move you the the forum for current iMacs, which gets many more views.

  • Can you  buy from iTunes with gift cards rather than use a credit card?

    I have given my 17 year old nephew an ipod for his birthday and as he doesn't have a credit card can he use gift cards to buy from the iTunes store without one? Do you have to have a credit card to open an iTunes account? I wanted to give him a gift card to start him off with the iPod as he doesn't have many cd's to load on to it.

    Yes, he can create an account and make purchases with gift card.
    When he gets the gift card, have him open the iTunes store and click on Redeem at the top right under *Quick links*.
    Input the card number then select *Create new account*.
    Input the personal info and when it gets to credit card info, select None.

  • How to verify billing information when you are under aged and did not put a credit card in cause you only buy with gift cards?! HELP

    Hi Everyone.
    My sister and I have been having problems with our ipods. We both have the touch and because our dad bought both our ipods and our ipods were under the same name it was starting to sync eachothers music to each ipod instead of seperate. we also wanted to use 2 different credit cards. so we thought the best solution would be to just create her, her own account. Everything went smoothly and i realized there was an option to not add a credit card, being that shes under aged and only buys with gift cards anyway. Now im struggling because i entered her gift cards into her acount and every time she goes to buy a song it says confirm or varify billing information. I have tried re entering her account info, i tried adding a credit card, ive tried several things and it is not allowing me to varify the account and will tell me that my requist is unavailable at this time....
    does anyone know how to fix this problem soo she can buy songs
    THANKS

  • Redeeming gift cards for multiple users with one Apple ID

    I have one Apple ID and two devices for two of my children.  Is there a way to track their gift cards separately (by device and not all to the Apple ID)?

    Create separate Apple ID's for everyone here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
    Must be verified email addresses. Then use those Apple ID's for iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, Find My Phone, etc. Everyone can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, & whoever "owns" the account using that Apple ID for everything.
