Sending gift or purchase and using Apple ID balance?

I'm trying to send a gift of money, or a gift of a TV show and I want Apple to use my Apple ID balance instead of my previously entered CC.  Any way to ensure that they zero out the balance first?

Katy,
Apple, like almost all online retailers, does not permit the use of a credit balance to make gifts.

    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

  • I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to purchase and use on my work ipad?

    I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to use on my work ipad?

    Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

  • Possible to use Apple ID balance to gift apps?

    I have $10 on my Apple ID balance, and I wanted to use $2.99 to gift an app to a friend, but I can´t see how - iTunes only asks me to enter my credit card info (or, ironically, a new giftcard-code) but not draw from my existing amount. Is it even possible?
    If it isn´t, then why not? The money is linked to my account, so shouldn´t I be able to use it how I see fit on the app-store? One way or the other it´s gonna be used, right?

    Sorry, but you can't gift an app from the balance of an iTunes gift card or certificate. That must be done with either a debit or credit card.

  • Having multiple user accounts and using apple tv mirroring breaks and also compromises privacy?

    I've got a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac from Feb 2012 and the newest Apple TV 2 that I bough t a few months ago (June 2012 I think). 
    On my iMac I set up a second user account besides my primary account to allow my ladyfriend to use Apple TV mirroring to watch movies from my user account's Public folder.  It worked for a short time and then (now I wonder if this was when 10.8.1 was released) it ceased to work. 
    Here's what happens now:
    1. I log in as the TVwatching account (leaving my primary account logged in)
    2. In the TVwatching account I switch on Apple TV mirroring and the result is (on the mirrored screen, not the iMac) an alternating glitchy green screen with bits of the TVwatching account's desktop and then bits of my primary account's desktop flashing in the background
    3. I turn off mirroring
    4. I log back in as my primary account (leaving TVwatching user logged in) and turn on mirroring and the mirrored display looks just fine
    5. I turn off mirroring
    6. Log back into the TVwatching account (leaving the primary user logged in) and this time, when I turn on mirroring, it's clearly viewing my primary user's account --- HELLO PRIVACY BREACH!!! Also, no green screen and no flip-flop flashing of the two user's desktops.
    When I log out my primary user and just log into TVwatching account it works as expected but I would think I should be able to have multiple user account support since I leave my computer (and my primary account) on all the time.
    One thing I will try is the newly released 10.8.2 update (installing as I write this) and I'll see if I can still reproduce.

    I should add that I did a system restore of the Apple TV this evening too and was still able to reproduce, as well as the firmware update that was available.  As far as I can tell, the Apple TV is up to date on the latest everything.

    what you need is XML to proxy...i.e. your scenario is very similar to this one...only diffrence is  that  , you wont be using FCC .since your source msg is in XML format..
    Hope this helps..

  • To save memory on my Ipad 16gb rather than store films, can I send them to Icloud and use my storage there and simply bring one back when I want to watch.

    To save memory on my Ipad as I only have the 16gb - rather than store films on the ipad, can i send them to icloud and bring back when i want to watch one. Or can I compress them to save memory. I know I should have bought the 32 or 64 gb ???

    You can't send films to iCloud, whether you can re-download them depends upon what country that you are in (films can't currently be re-downloaded in all) and whether the relevant film studios have agreed to allow them to be re-downloaded, and whether they remain in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items). There are a number of wifi-enabled drives that you can buy that allow you to stream films and tv shows to an iPad, so you don't necessarily have to store them on your iPad e.g. Seagate GoFlex Satellite (I haven't got one so I don't know how good they are)

  • Using apple ID balance

    I have an unused ID balance, but it wont let me use it. I click "buy" and it asks for method of payment, and wont take it from my ID balance. Also if i click the "none" options under method of payments it wont let me purchase it.

    No. Apple doesn't allow it.

  • Can I purchase and use iTunes gift certificates in my country?

    Someone told me that there is a loophole in the iTunes Store ...
    People living in countries where iTunes Store is not available (i.e. the entire Asia except Japan) can go on line to purchase Gift Certificates and then purchase music on iTunes Store.
    Two questions: first can I use my credit card (the billing address is NOT amongst those listed in the iTunes Stores) to purchase the certificates. Second, if I receive the certificates electronically (say given to me from a friend in Australia where iTunes Store exists), can I (living in a country with no iTunes Store) use those certificates to purchase music?

    No Gift certificates, like credit cards, are regionally enforces. You would still have to have a billing address in the country where the card was purchased in.

  • Apple card was purchased and used but still showing 25 credits?

    Purchased a Apple card for my son on Sunday for him to use it on his game, "clash of clans." He used the card and recieved what he purchased but it is still showing a 25 credit on the account. Did they mess up and didn't use it or what. Do you think he can use those credits again?

    This is completely normal.  NO need to be so over dramatice and go accusing anyone of ripping you off.  Calm down and understand, before you mouth off.
    Itunes verifies your account using the credit card info.
    This does not mean that they will charge your credit card.
