Separate Kid account with gift card only

I have an account and it is used by 2 users. My son has gift cards that I want only him to use. Is there a way to set up a kid account without a credit card?

If so how? I see where yo ucan put in another account but it requires a credit card. I dont want to use another email so I can keep track of what he spends

  • 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

    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.

  • Shared Account with Gift Card credits

    We have four people in our family, each with their own USER account on a shared Mac Mini computer. Each user account has it's own iTunes LIBRARY and associated iPod. However, all of the individual iTunes libraries are set-up to use a single iTunes STORE account so that all of the billing goes through a single credit card and it allows us to share songs with each other.
    Now we are giving the kids iTunes gift cards for things such as Christmas and making honor roll. However, when they redeem their cards using their user account and their library, it appears that the STORE lumps all of the cards together so that it is no longer clear which child has which value remaining and it also shows up on our "adult" accounts where we don't want to use their card values at all.
    So ... Is there any way to associate a redeemed card with just one user?
    Also, now with the new iTunes family share version, is it possible instead to create a separate STORE account for each person, but use the same billing info for each and then be able to share our libraries even though we would no longer share the same Store account?

    I can go and create a separate store account for each of us and each of the kids and bill it all to one credit card. Then they can each have and track their own redeemed card amounts on their individual store accounts. RIght?
    Correct.
    1) Will we still be able to apply parental rules to what they can access / download now that they will have a separate store account?
    Yes. The Parental Controls apply regardless of what iTunes Store account the instance of iTunes happens to be logged into. Otherwise it would be too easy to defeat just by the user logging into another iTunes Store account.
    2) Will we still be able to select the option which will require them to get our approval (password) before they can download something new?
    It would work just like it does now. If you don't give them the password to their own iTunes Store account, they can't buy anything, but if they know the password, you can't stop them other than by using the Parental Controls to lock off the iTunes Store.
    3) When songs are downloaded now, they go into their respective library for the user doing the downloading. Then if we want to share it with each other we just access that library on the hard drive and import it into the new library. Pretty easy. But ... I thought that originally when I tried to do this, it wouldn't allow it because of whatever the coding is on the file that showed it was coming from a "different" account and so that was one of the reasons I put everyone on a single account if (I remember correctly).
    If an item is copy-protected, the computer must be authorized to that iTunes Store account. But that authorization should apply across all user accounts on a single computer and should happen automatically when the iTunes Store account is set up for the first item is purchased through the account. Almost all music on the iTunes Store now comes without copy protection, though, so the issue probably won't arise very often unless your kids are downloading videos, TV shows or movies.

  • 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

  • Limit itunes purchases to gift cards only......

    I have three kids and all have ipods and one computer and one itunes account.
    How can I have them purchase things from the itunes store using their own seperate _gift cards_ with their own accounts? I don't want to use my credit card for allowances. I only want them to be able to buy music when they receive a gift card *only*. When I first set up the itunes account...if you ran out of money on your (redeemed gift card)...it automaically charged your credit card. I don't want it to do that anymore.
    Please help!!

    You can remove your credit card completely from an account and solely use cards. To quote the iTunes Store team:
    1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website at:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
    2) To launch iTunes and be taken to your Apple Account Information page, click this link:
    http://phobos.apple.com/accountSummary
    (If you are not already signed in, you will need to enter your iTunes Store account name and password and then click the Account Info button to sign in.)
    3) The Apple Account Information page will appear. On this page, click the Edit Payment Information button, which is the second button from the top.
    4) On the Edit Payment Information page, select "None" from the list of credit card types. This will delete your billing information.
    5) Be sure to click the Done button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

  • 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.
