  • Apple, ask to buy going to wrong device

    Posted by waterskier on October 31, 2022 at 8:00 am

    We are planning a trip to Hawaii with smaller kids and I bought iPad minis for them. While setting up the security to prevent needless spending, violence, or adult contest I ran into a problem. When the kids try to download a free app such as PBS kids the request is sent to my wife’s MacBook Pro which will not go on the trip. How can I get the request to be sent to my iPad? Aloha.

    Hello waterskier,

    Take look at the article here where it says, “Get a code from Settings on your trusted device”

    This article will show you how to get verification codes on your secondary devices.

    Thank you so much. It turns out one of the phone numbers used on my Apple relationship was linked to my parent’s account and Apple was sending permission requests from my kids to their grandma. This issue is fully resolved and thanks to two new iPad minis the long flights for the 5 & 7 year old was uneventful with ample shows to watch at their seat. Many thanks to Kim, her staff, and community members. Lloyd
