Apple verifies your account via the credit card. This is how the Apple ID account works.

  • Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads?

    I have an iPod touch. I have my own apple ID and icloud account. Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads? Is there a way I can have my own account and use my dad's card without having his name on my photostream and icloud?
    I went on icloud.com and changed my name but it changes the credit card name to mine as well so I can't get apps unless its under his name, but it confuses everyone i share photo streams with, as there are two of my dads?
    My aunt is having the same problem with her photostream, so I know its not only me.

    I have this problem and it's annoying.  Plenty of people in this world do not pay for their own stuff!.  So i have 5 kids.  All there accounts show as my name when people add them for Photo streams etc etc.  This is ridiculous.  Why not seperate billing address / credit card details to the name of the person on the account?  Why do they have to be the same?

  • HT203167 Someone has been using my credit card to download games. this has happened before when I  had a different credit card on my itunes account. the apple store on that previous time would not give me the ip address where the downloads ended up.

    Someone I entrusted my computer to for repairs decided to keep it. all my personal information was on the computer. the peron has been using my credit card information o make ourchases from the apple store. If I do not have a credit card on the account on my iphone, I am unable to updatw it or my ipad. After persuading the apple store people to delete the last credit card info, I had to put aother credit card on the iphone to be able to update the software and thevapps. now that card is being used by the person o download war games on the new card. I cannot find any of his downloaded games on any of my devices. I am close to giving up my iphone and ipad. the last time i called the apple store, theynwould not give me the IP address of the omputer the games were downloaded to. they only gave me the name of my ipad. anyone could name thir ipad according to the name on mynipad. I have found the Apple store less than friendly about security matters like this. What can I do to maintain my acount and not continue to be ripped off by the thieving interloper? if i change my user name nd password, i will forever lose legitimate purchases. Please advise me.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Is the credit card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
    Each time that you add or change your card details then a temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid (though that is usually $1 or the approximate local equivalent) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    Did your daughter owe any amounts to iTunes ? Does anything show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they are proper charges which you don't think that you should have then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Can I use my Credit Card to buy Apps from Bangladesh?

    Hello,
    I am from Bangladesh, I recently bouhgt iPad Air 2. Now I am interested to buy Apps from iTunes Store with my Credit Card, Can I? I am asking this question because yesterday I used my credit card to buy GoodReader Apps with price tag $0.99 from iTunes Store, after clicked BUY option then I put my credit card information as soon as Apps Store showing me a message that my address mismatch with the provided with the bank. As a result I haven't able BUY the App from the store, but my credit card account charged with $0.99. But I did not got the app GoodReader with price Tag $0.99.
    Please give me a proper guide. And also why the iTunes Store charged my credit card account though they have not permit me to buy the app? How to claim to reverse the amount?
    Thanking you in advance.

    Each time that you try to add a card, or change its details on an account, a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - your card issuer should remove within a few days or so.
    Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201292
    In terms of buying content, you have to be in a country to use its store, and have a billing address in that country on your account (you also cannot use a credit card issued by a bank from another country). As far as I can see there isn't currently an iTunes store in Bangladesh,  until if/when Apple open one then unfortunately you won't be able to buy any iTunes content (apps, music etc)

  • How would I use a credit card for In-app purchases instead of my gift card credit?

    I have a gift card credits linked to my account, but I do not want to use it for an in-app purchase.  I want to use my credit card for the purchase.  Is there any way around this?

    You can't for in-app purchases, when you have a balance on your account then that will automatically be used for your purchases.
    For other types of purchase you can try gifting the item to yourself so that your credit card is charged (gifting can only be done via a credit card), but you can't do that with IAPs.

  • HT201209 Can u use your gift card to download APS

    Can you use an apple gift card to purchase apps such as books and games

    Let's clarify what gift card you're referring to. You can use an iTunes gift card to purchase anything in the iTunes Store other than other gifts. If you are referring to an Apple Store gift card, that cannot be used directly in the iTunes Store, though you could use the Apple Store gift card to purchase iTunes gift cards.
    Regards.

    I think you are leaving a LOT out of this message. That bill from 20 yrs ago probably was only for 1 line, included NO minutes(you probably paid at least $0.30/minute for calling maybe more plus long distance) OR data. With you current bill of almost $200, it looks as if you have multiple lines, you DO have minutes, long distance is included, and you have 3G or 4G data(neither of which were available 20 years ago). You can't really compare your bill of $20 to your current bill. They are not the same thing.
    If you want to make a comparison, 1 individual line(which includes 450 minutes AND long distance) will run you $39.99/month. This same line with 450 minutes(from 20 years ago) would have run you $20(line charge) + $135 for calling minutes + any long distance you may have had.
    You can't compare smartphones such as BB, Android, iPhone, etc... because THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE. The oldest technology, BB, wasn't available until 13 years ago!

  • Why do you have to submit your credit card number is you are redeeming a card?

    why do you have to use your credit card number is you are redeeming ?

    I haven't seen a good answer from this yet. You can create a new Apple ID for the store without a CC. You can remove your CC info from an already established ID (you made a purchase in iTunes), but you can't use your Apple ID for first time use in the Store without a CC.

  • Apple ID: U.S. credit card in Dutch App Store

    I know there's more of you out there in a similar situation.  I'm an American living in the Netherlands permanently.  I maintain my bank accounts in the U.S. including my credit cards.  I created an Apple ID for the Dutch store using the one Dutch credit card I had.  Apparently something has happened to that card because my last app payment didn't process so now it's asking me to enter new credit card info.  Now, the credit cards I have were issued from a U.S. bank (USAA) but I had to put my foreign address on them for billing.  I use these cards in many places over here but for some reason iTunes won't accept them.  In fact, when I tried to create a U.S. iTunes/App store account with my U.S. credit cards, it wouldn't let me...it pushed me to the Dutch one because of the Dutch billing address.
    I really wish there could be one central International App Store, especially since Apple products are international. 
    I'm looking for any suggestions here.  Maybe I've overlooked something in the setup of my accounts that would allow me to setup a U.S. iTunes account with a U.S. credit card that happens to have a foreign address.

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.
