Shipping a gift to a family member in Germany?

I am trying to buy an iPad for a family member in Germany but ran into a snag. I cannot enter a German shipping address on US Apple site, and would have to sign an agreement stating that I live in Germany on German Apple site - catch 22!

You need to have it shipped to you and then you ship it to Germany. Apple will not ship internationally.

  • I upgraded to an iPad2 and recently pulled out my old iPad 1to re-gift to a family member. I can't remember the password I originally set up - is there a way to get beyond this?

    I upgraded to an iPad2 and recently pulled out my old iPad 1 to re-gift to a family member. I can't remember the password I originally set up - is there a way to get beyond this?  Each time I try a different password (trying any that I thought I might have originally used) it times out the tablet for up to an hour before I can try again.  Help?

    You can restore the device. That is what you have to do if you forget the passcode. You don't have to worry about syncing to your own computer either since you don't want to restore your data - you want to wipe it clean. Read these articles for more instructions

    Sometimes you may not be able to bypass the passcode at all when you try to restore. You may need to restore by putting the iPad into recovery mode. I have heard from some users that they did not have to do this when they restore after forgetting the passcode - but just in case you need the information, this will help you with that procedure.

  • My Christmas gift for a family member

    Its coming to christmas time, and i have came to the idea that instead of buying some kind of gift, i would make some kind of card for my grandmother. I would like to do it in adobe flash, but i have a little problem with the whole design. What i want to do is insert pictures of my grandma's children and their children in a picture infront of her house, but when you hover over the person, the background gets darker and some information appears next to the person.
    I have worked with adobe flash before, but i can not remember most of the commands in action script for such processes. What i need is the how to for the action script.

    Hi:
    I just purchased a 15" MacBook Pro and will be giving my MacBook to my sister. It recently had a new hard drive installed and today I picked it up from the Genius Bar after they replaced the Main Logic Board. I want to completely erase the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard so she has a clean slate to work with. What would be your recommendation for achieving this? I do not want any trace of my data left on the MacBook in case it is lost or stolen. The last time I gave my sister my an older MacBook I reinstalled the operating system and wiped the data from the hard drive but there were still traces of my old passwords and I never figured out how to change the computer name from my name to her name.
    Thank you for your help.

  • How do I add iTunes gift card to just one family member?

    I have 4 children under 13 and they're on the Family Sharing Plan, but when one gets an iTunes gift card, I want to add it to just his or her account so the siblings don't use it.  How do I do that?

    You should be able to log into their account and redeem the gift card onto that account, it should then only be available for him/her to spend - if using your computer's iTunes then log out of our account via the Store > Sign Out menu option, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option

  • HT201382 Our family all bought each other gift cards for Christmas and set up our iPads to family sharing.  When any family member makes a purchase, it will only be charged to the credit card and NEVER the gift card amount! WHY? Is there a way to fix this

    We just set up family sharing on our iPads and we all have$50 of iTunes cards that have been placed on our accounts.  Why can no one in the family redeem the money from their itunes cards... Instead being charge ONLY to the "organizers" credit card? This is driving us crazy? Now all our Christmas present have gone to waste? Can anyone help?

    Hello there ssyer,
    Family Sharing purchases do all go to the Organizers credit card by default, that is unless there is an existing credit or balance on the account requesting the purchase according to this article:

  • Getting a new Mac: need to transfer files/applications, have external hard drive, and wipe clean old Mac to give to family member

    Getting a new Mac this Christmas. I have several questions:
    1. How do I transfer files/applications from old to new?
    2. I have an external hard drive, do I need to save iTunes account to it?
    3. How do I wipe the old Mac clean to give to family member?

    1. Use the Migration Assistant the first time you turn on the new computer.
    2. No, but you should do so as a backup.
    3. Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

  • How can I add gift cards with family sharing?

    I want to be able to share the gift cards with my other family member, anybody know if this is possible?

    They should be able to redeem them with their own iTunes store IDs to create a credit.  Their purchases should then be charged against their credit before any balance due would be charged to the organizer's credit card.

  • Can my minor daughter have her own account as my family member and charge purchased to her own credit card?

    Currently I family-share my iTunes with my minor daughter.  She purchases songs which are charged to my bank card.  l would like to set her up with her own apple id so she can purchase her own songs and use her own bank card, but still share so I know what she is purchasing and how much she is spending.  is this possible?

  • If I want to add a family member who is not in my household and has their own itunes account and credit info...

    If I want to add a family member who is not in my household and has their own itunes account and credit info...will all their purchases be charged to my credit card as the Organizer?

    Hi mbostick, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The only way a family member can use their own funds and not the Organizer’s account for purchases would be with store credit, such as an iTunes gift card.

  • Why not use gift card for family sharing?

    This family sharing feature seems great.  But long gone are the days where I had a credit card on file.  These days I only use gift cards.  But system really wants me to have a credit card to activate this family sharing?  Has anyone been able to do with pure gift cards?
    thanks

    Hi Kestelli,
    In order to set up Family Sharing the family organizer must have a credit card or debit card to use for billing. See this article -
    Family purchases and payments
    If a family member, including the organizer makes a purchase and has gift or store credit, that purchase is first billed to that credit. Family members purchases may not be billed to the organizers store credit unless they are the organizer. See this article -

  • Can different family member accounts share an address book in iCloud?

    we have a primary mobileme account which is now set up in icloud.  we have a family pack with a secondary family member account set up for my wife's business email.  This secondary account now also has its own icloud account that we set up.  Works fine.  The question is this - when my wife is logged in to her icloud secondary account and looking at her work-related emails, how can she access the addresses in the address book that is linked to the main icloud account?  She is usually working from a PC so it's not a matter of just looking at the local copy of the address book.  She needs to log out of the secondary icloud account, log in to the primary, look up the address, and then go back to the secondary account to send the email from her work email address.  Too cumbersome.  And icloud does not seem to like having two instances of icloud running at the same time on the same computer.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks -
    Joel

  • I have CC and DC Pro on my account. How do I designate a family member to use the DC Pro?

    Is there a way to designate a family member to be able to use the DC Pro subscription on my account? I have the Creative Cloud (all apps) for myself, but I specifically purchased the monthly DC Pro plan.
    Or will they need to use my email address log in to their application? If so, if there are two different types of subscriptions.. which one will be used? Sorry to confuse you.. as I'm so confused myself.

    Correct. They need to register under their name. Contact support to sort this out.

  • Just got a new iPad. How do I move my Game Center games?  I keep getting another family member's account because we share our Apple ID.

    Hi. I just got a new iPad. How to I move my Game Center games from my old iPod?  My family uses one Apple ID, and I keep getting another
    Family member's Game Center on my iPad!

    Okay so I figured out the solution by reading other discussions. Basically you need to delete on your phone the icloud account and start up a new icloud account with a new email address. This is nice because you can still share apps without getting everyone elses things. The only thing that didn't get worked out was the notes...
    On your phone go to settings and then icloud, scroll down and delete the account. Then just make a new icloud under a new email.

  • Can't log in with a family member ID

    Dear all,
    I'd have a question about family member log in to iCloud.
    I own a mobile me family pack account which I upgraded to iCloud. Master account works great on my Mac. I have troubles using family members accounts.
    I made the same operations for upgrading to iCloud with a family account. I can sign in and read my email with Safari, I got Apple's confirmation that my member account went to iCloud. I have problems when I try to log in with it. If I enter ID and pass, Mac says, in the iCloud preference pane "Unrecognized Apple ID or password." Then a window saying "You can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again." I also noticed that Mail app doesn't work
    Any idea??  I thank you in advacne for your kind collaboration
    Regards
    Fabrizio

    if you already have one iCloud account signed into in System Preferences>iCloud, you can add additional accounts but not there - you enter them in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars. This will enable you to access email, but you can't sync Calendars and the rest of it with any account except the one you signed into first, the 'Primary Account'. If you want to use another account fully you would have to create a new user account on your Mac and sign in there.
    Incidentally, if a Family Pack sub-account has been successfully migrated - as appears to be the case - it's an iCloud account like any other: the fact that it was once a sub-account isn't relevant, so don't let that confuse you.

  • "A family member has already bought this item" error?

    When I try to purchase the Minecraft- Pocket Edition app, I get the following message:
    ""A family member has already bought this item.
    a family member has already purchased this item. To download it again for free, select OK."
    (I press ok, then the error pops up)
    "Could not purchase 'Minecraft- Pocket Edition'.
    The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    my devices can launch and go through iTunes without issue, so I know they are connected to iTunes, it just won't allow me to download this app. This issue is present across my iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Pro, which are all running the latest operating system they can.

    You just purchase the app. Are you running into some sort of issue when trying to purchase it?
    Cheers,
