Use of iTunes card with shared Apple ID

My son has an iTunes card that he redeemed on his iPod Touch. When he makes purchases, the shared Apple ID we have setup for iTunes comes up and prompts him to enter a password (which only I know). Is there a way for him to use the credits he has without me entering the shared password? I setup my kids with the shared Apple ID so we can benefit from sharing music and apps that we've purchased. Thanks

No. A password is required to help prevent unauthorized purchases from the account. Think that if someone got hold of the iPod they could make purchases only limited by the amount of money in the account.

  • Canadian itunes cards with us apple id?

    going to toronto for a while and i was thinking if i could use canadian itunes cards on my american apple id

    You cannot.
    Itunes cards are country specific.
    You cannot use a Canadian gift card with a U.S. account.

  • I can't use my debit Card with my Apple ID.

    Help Me Please. i can't use my debit card pay for iTunes store
    "This credit card cannot be used with iTunes Store. Please use another credit card."
    if you lock my debit card please unlock if you can. thank you

    The debit card must be the type of debit card that can also be used as a credit card and contains one of the logos listed in that article (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.). Otherwise, that would be correct.
    Having familiarity with the message the OP is receiving, he/she can contact the iTunes Store directly to inquire about why the message is being received, and they may be able to provide some clarification on what is going on. In the meantime, a different card that has one of those logos that is applicable for their country of residence will have to be used.
    If the message says something alone the lines of "your credit card was declined," it would be an issue that would have to be resolved by the financial institution instead.

    I don't know why but I suspect you are located in the Indian sub continent.   Debit cards appear to be a problem here and while many are accepted in other countries, India seems to be an exception.   Go to ...

  • Every time I try to download a free app, I'm asked for cc info. There is a iTunes card with $60 credit, why can't I just use that?

  • Can i use 2 ipad's on the same itunes account with different apple accounts?

    Both me and partner have an ipad 4. Though we only have one computer, can we use the same itunes but with different apple acount without any issues? We use some of the same apps, but my partner plays fx Baldus Gate and is worries that save files will be corrupted.

    Each iPad should be linked to its owner's personal, private and nonshared AppleID. In the Mac, each one should have a different login account so each has their own iTunes Library containing your iPad's details. When you use iTunes on the Mac, since each logs in with a different login and corresponding Home directory, iTunes picks up the correct AppleID.

  • New to Apple products (finally) - can I use my Itunes account with multiple products e.g. Iphone and Ipad?

    New to Apple products (finally) - can I use my Itunes account with multiple products e.g. Iphone and Ipad?

    Oh yes! Apple will be happy for you to buy as many Apple products as you can afford.
    As and when needed, each can be given its own selections of content to sync with.

  • Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    That depends what you mean. If you mean can you purchase from more than one iTunes account on the Apple TV, then the answer is no. If you mean can you stream from more than one iTunes library, which use different accounts, then the answer is yes, so long as they both use the same ID and password for homesharing.

  • HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match.  i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please

    i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain.  is this going to screw my wifes account up? 

    If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
    iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.

  • Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partition?

    Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partitioned Time Capsule? I understand that the Time Machine (software) cannot backup a networked drive (the external) and that Time Capsule (the router/wireless hard drive) does not have its own backup software... so it won't backup the connected drive. What I would like is an alternate solution for having an automated backup of a networked drive. A 2TB Time Capsule has more than enough space for Time Machine backups of my family of Macbooks, so I had hoped to mirror a 500GB external drive (with shared media files) to a portion of the Time Capsule internal hard drive. I assume this would require a partition of the Time Capsule drive. If not, would the sparse file from the various computers being backed up need to be copied to the external drive as part of the RAID1 setup? This seems like overkill for the Time Machine backup, but it would cover the media files.  

    The complexity with this idea is the software has to run from a Mac computer on your network.. so you need a Mac turned on, probably most of the day.
    It isn't possible to partition the TC although you can create a image area.
    The software would have to copy the material, that means all files to be copied, go from USB drive, back to the Mac, then back to the TC, and written to the drive. In other words you have just added Network congestion, although a proper incremental backup type software will not actually use a lot of capacity.
    Finally it will be slow.. network drives are slower than internal drives. Well USB connected drive is much slower than the same drive connected directly to the computer.. and if the drive is connected directly to a computer it can be shared with the network.

    Read carefully the speed of the USB drive plugged into the TC.

    Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship.  Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland.  The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
    At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them.  Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland.  For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment!

  • If I use an iTunes card to purchase music, can I put the music on non apple devices?

    I have a lot of iTunes cards, but no apple devices. I want to know if I can use the cards to buy music, and then put that music onto other devices. As far as I can see, there's no reason why this should be a problem. I'd be paying Apple for the music. If I'm not able to, then these cards will probably never be used, and Apple will never be able to recognize their profit.

  • Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?

    Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?
    I couldnt redeem w/o an apple ID so when i did it asked for a credit card. And I want to discontinue and remove my account from itunes but it wont let me, there is no account discontinue or removal of account

    Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

    I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
    1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
    2. Delete the app.
    3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
    4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
    5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
    6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
    7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
    My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
    Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

  • HT2534 How do you use an iTunes card after you have redeemed it?? I have entered my code for redeem and when I click on purchase song it asks me for a credit card?!

    How do you use your iTunes card after you have redeemed it. I have entered my redeem code and my balance is $20.00 but when I go to buy a song it asks me for my credit card details...?!

    If you set up an Apple ID already and didn't enter credit card details because you were planning on using gift cards only, you probably set up the account incorrectly. If this is the case, you will have to enter the credit card details even if you want to use only gift cards and download free content only. Yoy will not have to use the card, but you can't use the ID without entering the card details now. You may be able to remove the card as well after the card is verified for use by Apple by editing your account details.
    There is a very specific manner in which you have to set up an ID without using a credit card. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    See this about changing iTunes account information.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
    If you decide to create a new ID now, you will new another email address as wel, because the email address that you are currently using will already be associated with the ID that you just set up.
    I am making certain assumptions here and reading between the lines of your post, so if I am guessing incorrectly, post back with more details.
