Use of US-prepaid card with german iTunes account

I'm from Germany and vacationing in the US right now and I'm thinking about buying a pre-paid card for the iTunes Music store.
I like the US-store much better (much bigger selection)and I was not able to set up a us account without a us credit card.
Does anybody know if I will be able to use the us prepaid card with my german music store account.
Thx for helping;o)

Sorry, but no, you can't. A Prepaid card can only be used in the country of purchase. The record companies won't allow cross-border sales and so require Apple to have such restrictions.

  • HT3702 Is there any way to use a pre-paid Visa card with my iTunes account?

    I just received a prepaid Visa card as a gift and tried to use this card as payment info on my iTunes account.  This didn't work, I suspect because there is no billing address associated with the card.  Is there any way to use the card like this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apple should read this stuff once in a while.
    Some prepaid cards appear to act as credit cards to the merchant. If yours is one of them it should work, but debit cards are not accepted for the iTunes Store.
    Can you use a pre-paid credit card from Wal-Mart?
    Do you mean an iTunes Card, the kind sold at Wal-Mart? Sure, that will work.
    "Pre-paid" and "credit" are mutually exclusive.
    I believe this way of thinking about it ought to be valid: if you need a PIN code, the card won't work.
    I don't use debit cards so I can't be certain if this will apply consistently, but let me know if that makes sense.

    A few reasons I can think of, but instead of shooting in the dark, lets check with experts who can look at your account.

  • HT3702 Is it possible to have one credit card and two debit cards on my itunes account so that we can use different cards for different purchases?

    Is it possible to have a number of cards (say one credit card and two debit cards) to be listed as the payment cards for my itunes account, so that different cards can be used for different purchases?  Or can you only have one card registered on itunes at any one time?

    So is there any way that three members of a family can share one itunes account but pay for their own purchases, other than inputting their own cards each time they make a purchase.
    No, there is no way to do that.
    Or if we all have our own individual itune accounts, can we share each other's music, or can you only sync your iphone/ipad/mac, with one itune account at a time?
    You can sync content from up to five iTunes Store accounts to any given computer or device. You just will each have to copy the content into your own libraries so you can sync to your devices and have your devices authorized to all applicable accounts.
    Regards.

  • I cancelled my debit card that is associated with my itunes account but now i cant download my purchases and tells me payment information is incorrect. On top of that i cant not see the "none" option while editing billing information

    cancelled debit card associated with my itunes account, recently redeemed a $50 gift card and used about $40 halfway through downloading the purchases a message appeared saying incorrect payment information. I all the purchases can be downloaded for free but it asks me to sign in and i hit the sane wall saying payment information is incorrect. i tried removing cancelled debit card from billing information but i can not find the "none" option when i click edit. any help would be appreciated.

    Hey there jappwno,
    It sounds like you are unable to select None as a payment method in your iTunes account. The following article may help you determine why this is the case:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

    Can I use PayPal with my iTunes account?

    Okay here's the thing... My bank credit/debit card is hooked up with my apple id/iTunes account, and right now my bank account has no money in it, so I cannot download any apps on my ipad.

  • How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

    how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?  can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

    Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library.  That way each iPod can have it own contents.

    You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

  • How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

    How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
    Hi there
    My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
    What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
    This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
    How do I do this please?
    I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
    So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
    Any advise please?
    Thanks

    You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
    The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
    It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

  • Using multiple devices in iTunes, each with different iTunes accounts

    My husband and I are trying to go from 2 computers to 1 in the house, but cannot figure out how we can run iTunes on one computer, with multiple iTunes accounts and NOT download each others apps, music etc automatically. My son also has an ipod which I want to have as a separate account.
    We still want to be able to share some of the downloads amongst each other - but selectively, and not have them automatically downloaded as they would if there were all on the one library / account.
    From what I can see on the online forums I can create a new library for each device to stop the automatic transfer of purchases, but then cannot find how we can select what we do and dont want to share amongst each other, or if this is even possible with multiple libraries.
    Is there a way that I can do all of the following:
    Have multiple devices on 1 computer in iTunes
    Each device has its own iTunes account
    Each device retains its own library
    Each device can select what purchases we want to share amongst the devices, without it automatically transferring onto each device?
    Many thanks!
