Re: cannot gift app, App Store says to set up payment information
There's no problem, Apple does not allow gifting apps using your account balance. You need a credit card on file before you can gift apps etc. E-mail Facebook and iMessage christopher...@gmail.com On 28/11/2013 15:50, Alex Hall wrote: Hi all, I'm trying to gift an app. Each time I do, the App Store pops up a dialog telling me I have to set up payment information for my account.

RE: cannot gift app, App Store says to set up payment information
Alex, As others have mentioned. If you have received money from a iTunes gift card for yourself or by others. You can't use any of that money for gifting it to others. So at this point you have to use a bank card and such that will use to allow you to purchase a gift for others. Another Apple rules that I found out the hard way. ;) Regards, AnonyMouse Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2013 9:50 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: cannot gift app, App Store says to set up payment information Hi all, I'm trying to gift an app. Each time I do, the App Store pops up a dialog telling me I have to set up payment information for my account.

Re: cannot gift app, App Store says to set up payment information
Thanks, I didn't know that. I have never hooked my Apple account to a bank card, because it's way too easy to blow through money without even realizing how much you are spending. Well, at least now I know what's going on. On Nov 28, 2013, at 12:39 PM, AnonyMouse anonymo...@themickeyhouse.com wrote: Alex, As others have mentioned.
