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:

    I wanted to use an itunes gift card in the ibookstore, but it charged my credit card automatically without giving me any other option.

    None for payment
    After establishing the Credit Card account (i.e. after you have made purchases), you can remove the credit card information by editing your payment info, choosing "None".

    Have you tried contacting iTunes Support and asking them ? We are fellow users here on these forums, it could be due to a number of reasons, we won't know which one.

    My win8 pc hard drive failed.  After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used).  ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help!  The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection.  I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that.  Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes?  Thanks!!

    This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
    The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

  • I have recently purchased an iTunes gift card to make purchases in my favorite game but for some reason I can't make in app purchases. Someone said that I have to have a credit card but I don't want one of those. Can someone help?

    I bought an iTunes gift card to purchase certain things in my favorite app. Well when I try to buy things inside the game it does not give me the option to approve the purchase and it never shows up. I have reset the app, I have deleted the app and downloaded again, I have turned my ipod off and on, I have made sure all updates are up to date and nothing has changed. I saw a similar question like mine and the answer was that you have to have a credit card linked to your iTunes account to make in app purchases and I was thinking they were right until I talked to a few friends who cancelled their credit cards and took them off of the account and can still make in app purchases so that can't be the issues. Can someone please help me this is driving me crazy I have talked to iTunes support but they weren't much support.

    Not clear what you mean by iTunes help. You can contact iTunes support by:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us

  • Once credit card is billed for purchase, can I use an iTunes gift card to pay for it instead?

    I have made a purchase wanting to use solely iTunes gift cards. However I did not account for the local taxes, and it exceeded the amount of gift card credits I had. Now my credit card has been charged, though I do not want to use it for various reasons.
    Can I pay the balance using another gift card instead?

    If your account's balance didn't cover the total purchase price then the extra amount over your balance will have been charged to your credit card - it's too late after purchasing the item to change how you paid for it. You can try contacting iTunes Support, but they are probably unlikely to change how you paid for it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    If you don't want your credit card to potentially be charged for purchases then you could remove it from your account :
    Changing payment details : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
    If you don't get the 'none' option to be able to remove your card : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information

  • I would like to buy an app but when I do it says there is an account billing problem and it brings me to my billing account but I want to use my iTunes card, how do I fix that

    I can't buy or install any apps because it says that I need to fix my billing information but instead I want to use an iTunes card to buy the item I want but it wont let me

    If you have a credit card on your account then it has to be a valid card - do you get the 'none' option on your account so that you can remove the card, or is there an error show anywhere on the card payment details screen so that you can correc it ?
    As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift, then your balance should be automatically used for its purchase.

    Agreed heather. Also, if you have three users on the same account how do you keep phone calls and messages from going to all three phones?

  • Can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts?

    can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts? on two different computers?

    A Gift card will add a specified amount of mony to an iTunes account identified with a specific Apple ID (email address and password combination).
    If that Account is set up on both Devices, then they will share the money balance in that account. And can purchase things in the store with that balance.

  • 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.

  • Can I use an itunes gift card for ebooks?

    Can I use an itunes gift card for ebooks?  I want to buy a gift card for Christmas presents.

    You can use them to buy ibooks from the ibookstore - and also for items from iTunes, the app store and Mac App Store.
    I assume that you are going to give the card(s) as presents ? You can't buy a card, redeem it onto your account, and then use your account's balance to gift items from the store, gifting can only be done via a credit card (and ibooks can't be gifted).

  • HT1918 I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card

    I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card, the gift card information is entered on the phone and I can see the credit amount.

    I am having the same problem and it is REALLY frustrating.
    Exact setup that you have, COMCAST, PayPal, etc....
    I have reviewed my account three times with my PayPal info and received confirmation from my PayPal Account but it still won't let me log in. Let me know if you hear anything.
    This is a REAL PAIN.

  • How Do I Use An iTunes Gift Card?

    I was given an iTunes gift card for Christmas.  It says: "Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store.  Click Redeem."  I am then instructed to scratch off the label and enter the gift code number.  I am then to download my content "and enjoy."
    I would like to "enjoy."  The only problem is, when I open iTunes and click on iTunes Store, there isn't any "Redeem" opton available anywhere.  I'm not going to list everthing that appears on the drop-down menu under iTunes Store, but "Redeem" isn't one of them, and I can't find "Redeem" anywhere else on the home page for the Store.
    So how do I use an iTunes gift card?

    Problem solved.  It seems I did not have the most recent version of iTunes.  Once I updated to the current version, the "Redeem" link appeared.  I'm not going to tell you how old my existing version was.  Let's just say I was a tad out of date.
    Thanks so much for your response.  Now I can "enjoy."
    I went in, clicked on Redeem, plugged in the gift card number and, voila! - my account has been credited with the amount of the card.  I am good to go.
