Can't redeem a gift card

Hi, i just bought 2 gift cards and when I redeem the codes iTunes said "we are having server difficulties, please try again later" but it's the same message all day.
There really is a problem with the server?

just as a data point - I redeemed a gift card today around 4PM - didn't have any problem

Yes you can redeem the card if it is a U.S. gift card, you have a U.S. based iTunes account and if you are using the U.S. stores on the iPad.
On the iPad - Swipe to the bottom of the screen in the App Store or in iTunes and tap on Redeem. If you are using iTunes on your computer, you should see Redeem under Quick Links (i think that is where you will see it) after you sign into the store.

There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.

If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support : 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

How can I redeem my gift card if I don't own a credit card

How can i redeem my gift card if I do not own a credit card?

Whether a credit card needs to be entered onto an account depends upon how you created the account. 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 being prompted to review your account then you could see if the instructions on this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

I can't redeem my Gift Cards on my Apple MacBook, because I can't install the latest version of iTunes on my computer. Has anyone had this problem?

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

How can I redeem anitunes gift card when the redemption code was partially scratched off when removing label?

Can I use the gift card number somewhere to still redeem the itunes gift card?

If this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes support (you will need to give them as much of the serial number and activation code from the card as you can read) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

HT201209 How can I redeem my gift card if my iPad iOS version is older than most current app

I. Want to redeem iTunes gift card however my iPad iOS is older than the version required to download.

To be honest I'm not sure you can do do that from the Apple TV, but if you can you'd need to redeem in iTunes prior to rental, so it may be just as easy to rent your movie in iTunes too, then transfer it to the Apple TV 1.

Why i can't redeem my gift card for itune

1. I got a gift card from TOUT, I live in Thailand but i realised the note on the back of the card that it's valid only on U.S. iTunes store.
I think that i should redeem my gift card and then i can purchase the items from U.S. store. Do i misunderstand something?
2. I tried to redeem from the application page because i can't open my iTune page. It's always pop up this to me "Cannot connect to iTunes store". I have tried in both of my iPad and iPhone but they only say in the same thing. Please suggest me.

In order to redeem a giftcard you need to have an account in the country where the giftcard came from - so US giftcards are only valid with US based iTunes accounts. And in order to use a country's store you need to have a valid address in that country and be in that country when making a purchase.

Can I redeem a gift card from the country I am in even though my account country is different?

Can I redeem an iTunes gift card in Euros as I live in Europe but my account is under the country United Kingdom? Or can I only use GBP gift cards? Hope somone can help.

OK you have 2 options lets say for example you live in the UK and the iTunes card is from the USA.
option 1) go to eBay and sell the card to someone in the USA.
option 2) use the itunes card.
if option 2 you will need to use the following steps
1) Move to the USA <------- This is just so you are following Apples rules ;-)
2) you will need a USA iTunes account, now that you live there so make a new Apple ID. To do this go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US and the 1st thing you are going to want to do is go to the bottom of the page and make sure that next to "Choose Your Country or Regin" you have the US flag (or what ever flag matches the place you just moved to to use the card) if it doesnt then click on it and change it. Put in all info to setup the account, (if for some reason you cant remember the address of the place you just moved into then use google maps). if you dont get an option to make an iCloud email address then you can make a Gmail account and use that as your new Apple ID.
3) you have now moved and made a new iTunes account you can now use your gift card. You will have access to the content in your new country and it will be at their prices.
4) if you want content from both accounts, I assume you already have content purchased from your old account then login to your iTunes/iPhone/iPad with 1 account and download what you own then logout and login with your second account.
enjoy and good luck getting your green card, hopefully the place the iTunes card came form is nice ;-)

HT201209 My daughter lost her gift card for ITunes but we still have the receipt from the purchase. How can we redeem her gift card without the card?

My daughter lost her ITunes gift card but we still have the receipt. How can we activate the gift card?

Go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They usually will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt, so you should contact the person who gave her the card and ask if they can send you a copy of the receipt. Many resellers provide a gift receipt for just this sort of purpose.
Regards.

You can't. Gift cards can only be purchased and redeemed in the country of origin.

How can i redeem my gift card from my email

My friend sent me a gift card worth 1200 yen to my email add but i have not received any gift card to be redeem but my friend received a confirmation that the gift card has been sent already....how can redeem it?

You can't if you haven't received the email. You've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on the email account that your friend sent it to ? If it's not in spam then ask your friend to try resending it (and double-check the email address) : Resend iTunes Gifts - Apple Support
If the resend doesn't arrive within a few hours of resending it then your friend could try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
Or he/she 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
