Why not debit card for family sharing for minor children

Apple is requiring credit card security code to prove you are an adult when setting up family share for under 13 child.  We don't use credit cards.  There is no reason they can't use the security code on a debit card.  This is silly.

Hello ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The organizer's Apple ID account does require a valid payment source, which includes both credit cards and debit cards.
Setting up Family Sharing
When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards. You can change the billing method on file in your account at any time in your iTunes & App Store account settings.
Family purchases and payments
Take care,

  • How do i add an apple id for family sharing for my husband

    I am trying to set up family sharing and have added my daughters easily but when i try and invite my husband it says we cant as he email address is already associated with my apple id. How can i set him up to use family sharing?

    Go to Settings/Messages. Tap on Send & Receive, then on Apple ID. Sign out, then sign in with his Apple ID and password.
    After doing this you will not be able to use iMessage for your own messages.

  • How do I transfer Game Center id to a new apple id (created for family sharing for a child) in iOS 8?

    I just created a new Apple ID for my son (under 13 so could not have an account until new), as part of the new family sharing option in iOS 8.0.2, and I want to transfer the Game Center account he was using to the new Apple ID. I see in Settings > Game Center it has the option to login into an Apple ID but not Game Center separately. How do I get the new Apple ID to use the old Game Center account he was using?

    There is no way to merge or transfer anything to another AppleID. The App Store license also specifies that purchases cannot be transferred.

  • I want to setup my 9 year old for family sharing and seperate iTunes account but do not have credit cards

    I am unable to setup a new iTunes account / family sharing for my 9 year old as I do not have credit cards, it seems that it is only possible to do so with a credit card, however I feel it is unfair that I would need to apply for a credit card just so that my child can be safe online

    Or if you haven't created the account yet then there are instructions on this page for how to create one without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 (e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/message/24321860#24321860)

    What do you mean by "why my debit card has been deducted"?  The word "deducted" is not correctly used.

  • I cannot to set family sharing for my family. When i open to iCloud section in settings it says "There's no family information". Why ?

    As I said in subject I cannot to set family sharing for my family. When i open to iCloud section in settings it says "There's no family information". Why ?

    Yes, to clarify - we get a message that says "(he) is already a member of the Family"... but on my iPhone, it still shows that he is not, ie. that the invitation is still pending acceptance.
    A bit more detail - when I enter his name (or even .me email address) at the 'Add Family Member' screen on the iPhone, the system will not accept it. ie. I enter his credentials, hit 'Next', and it does not progress to the next screen...
    Bizzare. And he's the one who really needs to be enrolled, not so much my wife - who is successfully signed up!
    Hope there's some solution to this...
    Help Apple!!!!

    I don't believe you can.

  • Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

  • HT201079 Under iCloud family sharing for iTunes is a family member other than the organizer able to make purchases

    Under iCloud family sharing for iTunes is a family member other than the organizer able to make purchases?

    Any member of the family group can make purchases, but they are all charged to the organizer's credit card.  For children (under 13) you can also enable Ask to Buy, and their purchases will require your approval (see Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids).

  • HT1918 Can i use debit card in itunes store for purchase in india

    Can i use debit card in itunes store for purchase in india

    Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
    You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    Using a debit card in any online service where it stores your card is a bad idea in any case since if someone gains access to your account in the service, they can quickly drain your bank account. Credit cards limit your liability, as do prepaid iTunes cards.
    Regards.

  • Family sharing for the store account

    instead of showing up for the store account, family sharing is showing up for my icloud account and there seems to be no way to enable family sharing for my store account unless i use the same as my icloud account. both are @icloud.com accounts.
    please let me know what can be done.

    The list of apps keeps growing and now include Pages and Pinterest. Interesting to note, the issue happens on both my iPhone and iPad but it's not specific to apps. Meaning, Pages won't update on the iPad but my phone seems to have no problems updating it. Anyone?

  • How to set up individuals on family sharing for using Facetime - all are saying it's me!

    I've set up family sharing for my wife and kids. Currently all the devices are set up as me and linked to my email address and phone number. how do i separate them onto my wife's email / mobile no and then separate my kids (all under 13) so they can use Facetime etc? thanks!

    Hello Mevster,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to change the Apple ID used by services, like FaceTime, on some iOS devices. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of information that should answer your question and walk you through the process of changing the Apple ID that's used for services on iOS devices.
