Buying Songs off iTunes with gift card but says verification and billing info is required? I thought you did not need to enter card details once gift card has been redeemed

Trouble with buying songs using gift card

How was the account created ? 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.
You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will have to enter credit card details - you should be able to remove the card after entering it

  • How can i buy songs off itunes that you can't get on the Canadian version but you can in the u.k. version

    How can i buy songs off itunes that you can't get on the Canadian version but you can in the u.k. version
    I would really like to get these songs (not illegally like most people) because i really like them but they are only in the U.K. or Irish version of iTunes and I'm on the Canadian version
    If anyone can tell me how i could possibly get these that would be great thanks

    OS X is the same no matter where you buy it.  You can switch it to Japanese or one of 30 other languages in few seconds via the system preferences.
    If you want a Japanese keyboard as well, you can select that when you configure your purchase:

  • How will i know if an itunes email gift card has been redeemed by the recepient? do i get a notification?

    I just want to check if the iTunes email gift card has been redeemed (without directly asking the recepient themselves). Is there a way to check that? Would I get an email notificaiton when the gift card is redeemed?

    You can't log into any site and see your account's balance. You can log into your account on your iPad via Settings > iTunes & App Store - on my iOS devices my balance shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to). You may not see anything if your account's balance is zero.
    Not sure what you mean by relationship iTunes has to products. You can buy music, films, TV shows, audiobooks via the iTunes app on your iPad, and apps via the App Store app - what you buy will be tied to your iTunes account.

    The receipt usually takes more time to receive. I got my receipt from about 7:00pm yesterday at about 10:00pm today.

  • How can i see if my gift card has been redeemed without redeeming it to my account?

    i have a old gift card that i want to give as a gift to someone else, i see the only way to see if it has been used is to "redeem" it by entering the code and redeeming it into your account, but since i want to give it to someone else i cant redeem it into my account, so how do i see if its been redeemed without actually redeeming it?

    The Only way to do that is to try to Redeem it and if it has already been used it will tell you.

  • I have an iPad. Why is it not easy to find "log in" and also to be able to see the balance remaining in the account , once a gift card has been redeemed ? It is very clumsy, not clear which site to be in even!

    I have an iPad, iPhone and MacBook.
    Can someone please explain where to first of all go (which website) to find "Log In". I seem to do this only by accidentally finding it - going from site to site or page to page. Not sure which. Today, all I wanted to do was look at my account to see how much was left in my account of a gift card I redeemed. I think I am still unsure of the relationship "iTunes" has to products I buy for any device. I thought that I just needed to go to www.iTunes.ca and look for a sign in link. I thought that this account is my sole apple account for any product for any device. Obviously I am not as intuitive as Apple. Help.

  • Can I resend am audiobook gift that has been redeemed but can't be located?

    Hi all, I have gifted an audiobook on my ipad2 to my sister who redeemed it, but cannot locate it in her itunes account at all. Have tried to resend
    as per instructions in itunes by signing in to my account and bringing up gifts (both on ipad and imac), but I don't get the 'resend gift' possibility coming up, I just get 'done'.
    Am assuming this is because she did try to open it. She's now asking me to resend it as she says its lost. She hasn't set eyes
    on it and as it's a birthday gift, don't want her to have to re-buy it.
    Appreciate any help, thanks.

    If its showing as 'done' on the resend screen and not giving the resend option then that implies that she redeemed the gift onto her account (or somebody has redeemed it). Did she redeem it, and if she did has she checked that computer/device's library, and tried the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on her computer's iTunes to see if that downloads it ? She won't be able to redownload it as audiobooks are a one-time only download.
    If she didn't redeem it then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support and see what they say : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • If a gift card has been redeemed, could I know when was it redeemed? (PS: I have the serial number and the redeem code of that card)

    plz

    You can't see a list of when gift cards were redeemed onto an account, you can only see what has been purchased on the account (which doesn't distinguish between how items were paid for).

  • Buying songs from itunes with a prepaid credit card

    i am trying to buy 2 songs from the iTunes Store with a prepaid credit card,after i enter all the info i get error saying the credit card information does not match my bank information,which i never entered when i set up my apple account.does any body have any idea how to correct this problem.  thanks

    I don't think that prepaid credit cards will work - iTunes validates that the name and address that the credit card is registered to is the same as on your iTunes account, and prepaid cards tend not to have a registered address so will fail that validation. Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to use the card to purchase iTunes gift cards and then use those as your payment method on your iTunes account.

  • Can you buy things off iTunes with a debit card

    I try and put my debit card details in to purchase an app but it just says card number does not match credit card type and I checked the number it is 100% right

    So if you are trying to add a MasterCard, you are clicking on the MasterCard icon and then entering the card #? You have to do both.

  • I bought songs on iTunes worth my iPhone, but I paused the download on my phone. Now I can not get the songs to play on my iPhone or re-download to my phone. How do I get them on my phone?

    I need help getting the songs onto my phone.

    Make sure you have the latest iTunes installed on your computer.
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

  • Itunes asking security and billing info

    In NZ, on wifi, using a UK iTunes account. iTunes asking me all kinds of security and billing info n it's never done that before - usually just pwd. Is this normal and, more importantly, is it safe?? I'm definitely receiving the messages thru iTunes so should be ok i guess

    possibly to verify age or perhaps the app has "add on" features that cost and they would need to know where to bill these to if you wanted them 
    I know you can store your billing details, even a credit card number, securely within your iTunes account to prevent you from getting this prompt for future apps
