HT201209 I have an itunes card with a balance on it.  How do I purchase additional music (the steps) on this card and not a credit card.

I received a itunes gift card for $15.  I purchased a CD for 9.99 and have a balance left.  I now want to purchase a song for $1.29 but itunes is taking me to my credit card and not my gift card balance.  What are the steps for this to come from the gift card balance and not credit card. How do I redeem?

Just to confirm, you are logged into the iTunes Store using the account in which the balance exists, and the balance is showing at the top of the iTunes Store window? And you're not trying to purchase gifts for someone else?

    Hi Kim ...
    Might not just be the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
    Apple "verifies" your billing credentials with every transaction.
    what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card
    If the total purchase price of the media including any applicable taxes or fees exceeds the balance of the redeemed card, then the difference is charged to your debit or credit card account.

  • How do i use my itunes gift card money and not my credit card

    How do i use my itunes gift card money and not my credit card
    My ipod told me that i had to put in a credit card and because of that i put in my moms wit her permission. but the thing is i do not want to use the money on her credit card. i hav a 10 dollar itunes gift card in it already and none of it is used up. i want to use that money
    how do i do it

    Open iTunes on your computer. In the iTunes Store log into your iTunes Store account and view your account. Select Edit Payment Information. In the credit card choices I would choose None. That will remove your Mom's CC info. Next under iTunes Gift Cards and Certificates click the little arrow to redeem your Gift Card. Then follow the instrction to redeem your GC.
    You can also do this on your iPod, but it is more complicated to describe how to do it and to actually do it. It is easier to do in the iTunes on your computer.

    No, stores are country specific and require a form of payment native to the same country. You would need a credit card issue from a USA financial company or bank, with a USA billing address.

  • I downloaded money to my account from an itunes card. How do I pay for music with that and not my credit card

    how do I deduct payment for music from a recently downloaded iTunes card and not my credit card

    Just click on the song's/album's price button and it should automatically be deducted from your balance - you can't specify how items are charged, it's automatic.
    The only time that your credit card should be charged is when gifting, you can't use your balance for that, or if your balance doesn't cover the entire price (in which case the remainder would be charged to the card).

  • HT4009 How do I make an in-app purchase using iTunes card and not a credit card? Please Help!

    I can't make an in-app purchase in the app game Campus Life. iTunes goes to the credit card and I don't have a credit card, and so an error shows up insufficient funds. I have money in my iTunes account from the gift card. How do I buy through iTunes not through a Credit card? I didn't see anything on iTunes/apple account that will let me change it. I see other people can get gems or whatever through iTunes in-app. Please help ASAP! Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem with the cards app by Apple. Someone please help!

  • Have 40 songs credit, how to use this credit and not my credit card?

    When I select buy song/album I get the message "Your credit card will be charged, proceed?". I dont want to buy songs but use the credit I have first.

    I think that's a standard message meaning your iTunes account will be charged.
    If you have credits, it should use those first.
    You can remove your credit card info and it will not be able to use the CC.

  • TS1646 Can I purchase an iPad or iPad mini with cash and not a credit card

    Please help me

    I remember seeing someone else having an issue that you must at least have part paymemt on a non-gift card credit card. For some reason it is required that a name from that be attached to the pruchase. No idea why, but that seemed to be the restriction. (I think they might have been in the store, but others reported the same thing).

  • Using gift card to purchase tv shows, and not! Credit card without the "none" option being there

    i search up a show I click purchase and type in my password it asks for credit card info, it doesnf let me select none, i want to use my iTunes gift card help I'm three seconds away from throwing out my ipad :-/

    Your balance covers the the show's price (plus any applicable taxes), and it this the first time that you've tried to download something with the account ? If it is the first time, then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are getting a prompt to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then you will need to enter your card details, you should be able to remove them after entering them.

  • I have Pages for the iPad and desktop, how can I save it besides the iCloud on my computer and not the iPad?

    I have purchased Pages for my desktop iMac and Macbook Air.  I also have it on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.  They are all synced through the icloud, but the space is now starting to fill up.  (I am the guy asking trivia questions and it fills up with A LOT of questions).  BUT, after each week, I can get rid of 3 documents (16 questions per document).  So, I have roughly 80 games worth of trivia and half of which I would like to save on my computer.  I can pull it up on my computer and it shows that I have that from the icloud, but not on the desktop.  I have lots of space on my desktop to save these, but the iPad is not as large for space.
    How can I transfer roughly 40 documents (from pages) from the icloud to the desktop, (for permanent storage)?  do I have to do each one individually, or is there a select documents you want to move?  Then I can delete from ipad as it seems to take up space on both the ipad and the icloud.
    Thank you in advance.

    Just ignore that post above. I tried to edit it but was too late. Deleting a document from iPad does delete it from iCloud.
    Ignore the line 'There is no data limit on iCloud.com so you could keep all your documents on there' because of course then they will sync to your devices and that's not what you want.
    Sorry, for the confusion.
    Removing documents from iCloud:
    iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
    You can also move documents to your computer by opening Pages, select iCloud and all the documents you want to move, and drag them onto your desktop (or folder).

  • How can i be sure that my purchases deduct from my gift balance and not my credit card?

    In addition,how soon will my current balance be adjusted?

    If you have a credit on your account via a gift card, charges always apply to that before any otehr payment method available.Teh cource opf the payment is replected on the email receipt ("Billed To"). Gift cards show up as "Store Credit".
    Particularly during very busy times of the year (such as now), it may take a few hours or so for the visible balance to show up, but generally it is within a few minutes.

    It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded it.
