Ask to Buy Not Working I have checked my family settings and my logon. Everything appears to be set up correctly, but I am still not receiving notifications when my child clicks “ask to buy”. Nor am I getting the option to approve on his device

Ask to buy lacks Get button I have two kids in my apple family. One of them used “Ask to buy” to get an app, I approved and they could install. Now when the second kid does the same I only get a “view in app store” link that takes me to the app store page of the app to install it on my phone but I can’t authorize my other kid’s request.

How can I approve an ask to buy from my child without an Apple Device? When my child attempts to download an app he gets asked to ask the parent, which would be me. When he hits ask it goes away, but doesn't download. I don't have an apple device, so I don't get a notification or know how to get to where I need to go to approve this download. Is there a way to do this without an Apple device?

The child is under 18 ? If the option isn't showing (Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support) contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
