Require password for all itunes purchases.

The kid sometimes buys movies on the AppleTV 4 when she plays with the remote.

I can get a refund so that's fine, but I'd rather be able to require a password for all purchases.


I obviously have had the setting to require password for all purchases as well as free downloads. This does not seem to apply for itunes though. Where can I set this for movie purchases?







Apple TV HD, tvOS 13

Hey moominus,


I see that you want to be able to restrict your iTunes Store purchases through the Apple TV and I'd like to help. I can understand how it can be inconvenient requesting for a refund due to an accidental purchases made by your child.


You can set restrictions on your Apple TV that includes purchases from the iTunes Store and here's how you do it: Use Restrictions on your Apple TV


There's even a way to Manage your iTunes Store and App Store password preferences to require a password every 15 minutes when making purchases.


I hope the articles that I provided are helpful, and let me know if you have any additional questions.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, and I hope you have a fantastic day!
