Why can't I use my ITunes account balance to pay for a click wheel app?
I have a IPod Nano 4G and would like to download one of the click wheel apps and purchase it through my ITunes account but it seems to only allow payment with credit card. Why is this?
Hello Coastie53,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
That's just the way it is if you are trying to make the purchase from within the Canadian iTunes store. You are not allowed to use a gift card to purchase apps. As to why, that's just the rules for now. Sorry.

HT4059 Why can't I use my iTunes account balance to pay for iBooks?
Even though I have a credit balance on my iTunes account, iBooks only allows me to use a credit card for payment of an iBook.
I'm having the same issue, did you ever figure it out?

Why can't I use my iTunes card balance to given an app?
Hi,
I have a balance from an iTunes card. I just sent an app as a gift, but iTunes forced me to use my credit card. Why can't I use my balance?
Thanx
OlivierFrom the article from which you came:
Note: When purchasing an iTunes Gift, a valid credit card must be on file; you can't purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit.
Why Apple has this restriction I don't know, but many other download stores do as well.

Some In-App purchases require a Credit Card associated with your Account.
If necessary... Contact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance

HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!
Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question. -
Why can I not use my gmail account calendar on my MACbook Air?
Why can I not use my gmail account calendar on my MAC, when I try to sync it, it says "secure connection cannot be established" Is there a setting I don't know about?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -

Why can my daughter use my cell number on her iPad for FaceTime and I message
Why can my daughter use my cell number on her iPad for FaceTime and I message
That's an account-level setting on the iPad. Presumably you use your cell number as your Facetime account credentials on your phone, and the iPad is linked to your account as well? You can go into the Facetime settings on the iPad and change what accounts can be reached on the iPad or used to make Facetime calls. Same goes for Messages.

Why can't I use my itune card I redeemed
Why can't I use a gift card I recieved to make itune purchases
What happens when you try to buy something, what are you trying to buy (you can't use your balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card) ?
If this is the first time that you've tried to buy something and you are being prompted to enter card details then unless you used the instructions on this page when creating it : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card after entering it.
Or, and if you are being prompted to review the account, then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
- then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ? -

Why can i NOT use "differential" on the MAX test panel for channels 8-16??
I have a USB-6218
This is a 32 channel device with 16 Differential inputs.
Why can't i use the MAX test panel to view any channel beyond AI-7 using the Differential setting? It shades out differential even though my device has this capability.
WHY????I am using MAX 4.1.0.3001 in conjunction with LV 8.0 and the USB-6218.
I go to MAX, Expand devices, expand MX devices, Right click on the USB-6218 (device2), and go to the test panels.
From there i am unable to view any differential pair beyond 8.
How am i supposed to Thru-Calibrate my equipment? Generally to achieve a valid calibration i use MAX itself to record the raw voltages the board "sees" as i apply known loads to the sensors.
The reason i need to check all this out is because DIFF pairs > 8 also are not working in my VI! Im am not sure if this is related or not. -
Why is iTunes card not a option under payment method. I am wanting to setup iCloud Family Sharing. But I need to give Apple a credit card which I do not have. That is why I use the iTunes card and redeem the money. If it is good enough to use iTunes card when making purchase from Apple iTunes store then why is it not an option when setting up iCloud Family Sharing account.

You're allowed play the music on up to 5 devices. Each device must be authorised. Unless you can connect the xbox to the apple store to be authorised, you will not be able to play the music on it.
