My girlfriend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the Canada store and spend most of it with .02¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't.

My friend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the US store and spend most of it with 11¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't. iTunes keeps saying "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.*

You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.

I got an itunes gift card for christmas...

but I can not figure out how to use it. YES i did read the instructions and i read the instructions right on iTunes and like for whatever reason there is NO BUTTON to click to put in the giftcard serial number thingy. ive checked EVERYWHERE in itunes ive clicked all over.
Can someone please help me out? Perhaps i just missed something >_< It says to 'click under account and add giftcard" or something and i clicked my account and theres nothing there
To use an iTunes gift certificate or iTunes Gift Card:
In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
Below Account, click Gift Certificate or iTunes Gift Card and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you don't have an Apple or AOL account, you have to create one before you can redeem the certificate or card. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of the certificate or card.
I tried that >:[
please someone help me.
Oh and also it says iTunes MUSIC giftcard... is it STRICTLY for music? :P I dont listen to music.. no offence to apple but i think 99 cents a song is a rip-off and i'd rather buy a movie XD and if it is only for music is there anyway i can trade it back for a universal one?
ive never used a giftcard before...

Open iTunes and select 'iTunes Store' you will be in the main iTS page - there is a link that is titled 'Redeem iTunes Card Gifts' - chose that link and you will get to a page that will allow you to continue. If you cannot find that link the use the below link and you should end up on the required page - you will go there via Safari then to iTunes.

Read the loaded page for terms and conditions and as far as I know a Gift Card is good for any item in the iTS - music or video - but as I suggested read the page listing the terms and conditions

I live in Scotland and have three grandchildren in USA, how can I give them iTunes gift cards for Christmas?

I live in Scotland. I have three Grandchildren in USA. I would like to gift them iTunes for Christmas. Is this possible now as it hasn't been in years past. Thank you for any help.

You can go to other online suppliers of iTunes cards and buy from them and provide the redeem number to your Grand-Children - Look up in Google

How do you use an iTunes gift card for in-app purchases?

My kids received iTunes gift cards for christmas and want to use the $$ towards in-app purchases in Clash of Clans. We've already redeemed the cards to their iTunes accounts. Now they want to use them within the app.
How do they do this? If they try to purchase something it seems to just go against a credit card, and not give them the option to use the iTunes credit.
Please help!
Thanks,
PinoFamily

I entered the code and applied to my apple account, so I assume I already have the credit. When I tried to make an in-app purchase, it asked me for my password again.
How do I know if the in-app purchase is deducting from the redeem credits or from my credit cards.
Also, is it possible to check the remaining balance of the iTunes gift card? This is the 1st time I deal with apple gift card... Quite confusing...
Please kindly advise.
Thank you for your attention.
Purchases are always deducted from the credits first. Look at the menu bar at the top for remaining credit. My credit is $23.59.

Issue redeeming a US iTunes gift card for Australia registered account

I received a US iTunes gift card for Christmas but currently have my apple ID registered in Australia. I tried to switch my iTunes store registration from Australia to the US to redeem my gift card, but am unable to do so because iTunes says "you still have rentals that have not expired". How do I delete the rental record so I can switch the country and redeem my gift card? Thanks

You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
Are you in the U.S?
Do you have a valid U.S billing address on your credit card?

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).

Split itunes gift card for 2 people

Hello, I got a 50$ itunes gift card from my relative via email and i must split it (25$each) for me and my brother.
I just dont know how?
thank u

Just to make sure u need the same apple id. If you don't iTunes will recognize the music as not bought. But when you have the same it knows you already bought so you can delete it or put back again.
Ps it does not make any sense when you have to buy everything again.
Sync the music to computer and buy with the25$ what you like and what your brother likes. After that go to music get each ipod at once and check the music you want on it,

HT1541 I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I purchase an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I buy an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

Sorry, but it's quite possible that you can't. If there's an Apple Store in the country to which you want to give the gift, you can call them ask ask if they'll accept a Canadian credit card for a gift card purchase to be shipped to an address in the relative's country. If they won't, then you'd have to find an independent reseller in that country that carries iTunes gift cards who could accept your credit card, and there may be none.
Regards.

Oldbiker, the easiest way is go to a retail store that has them, and buy the denomination(s) that you want.

These are user to user forums, you are not speaking to Apple here.
I would advise that you review your purchase history:
