How do I use my gift card instead of my credit card?

I have always used gift cards to buy my music off of Itunes, but when I recently used it I only had 25 cents left. So when I clicked on the music to buy it, it showed me all of my account information and asked for the security number to the credit card that I have listed under my account. But my parents didn't want me using their credit card, so my mom bought me some more gift cards. I redeemed the money on the cards, but for whatever reason it still takes me to the "Billing Info" and asks for the security number, even though I have money already in my account from the gift cards. Until then, I am unable to purchase any new music. How do I switch back to using my gift cards and not the credit card?

It is a security measure that has been implemented in iTunes.
When it asks for the security info on the CC, make sure to uncheck *Do not use this card for this purchase* (or something similar).
It will then use the gift card for the purchase.

    Hello Kristi,
    It sounds like you have credits on your account but you are prompted to enter your credit card info. This is normal, to cover any charges that may go beyond the credits in your account.
    Order of iTunes billing methods
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
    From: iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
              http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    You may be able to set your payment method to None in your billing info:

    From the Account Information page, click Edit to the right of Payment Type.

  • How do I use my iTunes Balance instead of a Credit Card?

    I want to gift money I have in my account. I had that money because I reedeemed an iTunes Gift Card. However, when I go to gift something it keeps asking for me to put a credit card. Even if I put a credit card I can only send money from the credit card. How do I gift the money left in my balance.

    You can't gift items or amounts from your account's balance, you can only gift from a credit card.

    How can I use the Creative Cloud without having a Credit Card? Why are there no other possibilities?

    Hi @DRB1961, 
    I do not think the Zeen will work if you no longer have the C510 printer. The printer is necessary to ensure the Zeen is up to date. The Zeen is simply not a standalone device, it is a component of the printer.   I can not say this with certainty that it will not work, so it is worth trying to reset the Zeen to finding out for sure.
    When you see this message, "must dock the Zeen to the printer to continue", can you access the settings using the 3rd icon above the touch screen? If so we can do a factory reset, if not there is no other way I can think of to bypass this message.
    I just tried a reset on a Zeen I have access to, after the initialization, it prompts me to attach the Zeen to the printer to continue with product setup. it appears my original speculation was correct. No, you can not use the Zeen without the printer.

  • HT1918 How do I use my existing AppleID with out a credit card to access ITunes!

    This is madness!
    I created my AppleID as informed to, the way without any card details.
    I tried to use it to sign into ITunes and have to review my account, now it wants credit card details and I havnt got one!
    I have looked around these forums for about an hour and the pages are appsolute rubbish! All Apple do is send you into a mad loop so you HAVE to enter credit card!!! I dont bloody have one!!!!
    How do I use my existing appleID to sign into ITunes when all I get is review my account, then it always asks me for credit card information?
    I will be throwing this ipod straight back at the shop tomorrow if I can't resolve this!!!
    Can anyone actually help please!

    I'm off down town tomorrow to return this piece of ****...............
    Apple, how can you make a piece of free software that will only let me 'sign in' after you have credit card details? All the music I have just ripped from my own cd collection will now show up with no album art and song names?
    Unless anyone has an alternative program that you can drag and drop music onto a nana within the next 24 hours, mine is going back!

  • Paypal tricked me into using a back account instead of my credit card

    I have always used my credit card when buying from ebay, and then suddenly paypal used my bank account without my permission. How do I get that back account out of paypal? It does not have enough money in it to make purchases, and I do not want a bank account linked AT ALL because of hacking possibilities. Because this occurred, and I will likely have overdraft charges, I am going to close the account that paypal accessed to prevent this from happening in the future.

    Hi there  This is a very annoying problem with PayPal for many users. The only workaround is to select a credit card as the payment source, during checkout. Since it's already been charged to your bank, there is nothing PayPal can do to help you anymore. Any overdrafts that might have occured, etc, that's your banks' problem, not PayPal's.  

  • HT2589 how can i use apple id in the iTunes  without credit card

    i created an apple id but i can't use it in the Itunes and apple store because i don't have a credit card i don't have money to buy application i want just the free ones what sould i do !!!!!

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • How can I use an exsiting Apple ID without a credit card?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use my already made Apple ID with iTunes, but I don't want to use a credit card. I know that you can make a free account in the Apps Store, but every time I type in my email address and password then click Sign in, a message displays saying; "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store. Please review your account information."
    I click review and follow the prompts but, the "free" option for the credit card info isn't there.
    Why can't I get a free account with iTunes with my already existing Apple ID? I really don't want to make a whole new email address just for iTunes.
    Thanks

    I'm not trying to create a new account for free,
    Yes, you are.
    I'm trying to use my existing account with iTunes for free.
    You need to create free _iTunes account_ using your existing AppleID. You cannot sign in until you create an _iTunes account_ with your existing AppleID.
    Follow the link Jim posted and select *Create new account*. This creates a new _iTunes account_ using your existing AppleID.

    Hello nincika,
    It sounds like you do not want to add a credit card to your Apple ID.  If you are not seeing the "None" option when updating your billing information, I recommend the following article:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

  • Pay for in app purchase with itunes card instead of my credit card.

    I have a current debit card on my iTunes account  which has no money in the account. i have recently purchased a iTunes gift card and want to buy in app item but don't want it charged to the account with no money in it. If i go ahead and redeem it and make the purchase, will it take the money from my iTunes account or my Credit card? If so how i could i change it otherwise?

    It'll take the money from the gift card's balance automatically if allowed for that specific purchase. You don't have any control over whether or not it'll be allowed.

    I want to use an iTunes gift card as the back up for in app purchases for a so called free app instead of my credit card or having my bank account emptied.
    How can I do this? I saw something about gift cards can only be used for music or movies, not apps.

    You can use an iTunes gift card for app, music, movies and other media.To redeem one see:
