Can't redeem gift cards on devices?

Im trying to redeem 2 iTunes/App Store gift cards and each time I try on my iPad or my iPhone is asks me to log in with my apple id after entering the code. *I do, and then it asks me to log in again, and again, over and over and will not redeem the code. *I have reset the iPad and have reset my password, and it still won't work. *I got one to work by redeeming it through iTunes on my computer. *Why can't I redeem it directly on my device?
Also, on my iPad, when I go to Settings-Store, then click on my applie id, and click "view apple ID", it asks for my password. *When I enter it, it asks for it again, and again. *Something is not right. If I log out, reset the device, go back to settings and log in it'll show me my account info but still wont redeem the card. And, as soon as I do try to redeem it again, I lose the ability to see my account info under settings/store unless I do another log out/restore.

It actually just randomly worked.  All I kept doing was logging out and then back in to the App Store trying (and re-trying) the code, and finally it took.  I doubt it permanently fixed it, and I'm actually dreading if I get another gift card to use.  Good luck.

    Hi ChuckN,
    I have installed the update at home on an older 27" iMac, a new retina macbook pro 15", an older macbook air  and a recent 21" iMac and on none of them does the redeem by camera option show up.
    I would say to our north American friends this is something that has been working for you for a while and has only been announced as available in AU with the latest update for our region this week. Sadly updates don't always work straight up.
    I am hopeful there is something I have not turned on but think I may need to wait for another update.
    good luck Chuck!

  • Can an Apple gift card be shared among different apple devices in the home?

    Can an apple gift card be shared among the different apple devices in the home?

    If you mean an iTunes gift card then it is redeemed onto an iTunes account, not a device, so it can be used to buy content from the stores (iTunes, ibookstore, app store, Mac App store) where you use that account - it can't be split onto multiple accounts.

  • I have four devices on my itunes account. Can I allocate gift cards to each different device?

    I have four devices on my itunes account. Can I allocate gift cards to each different device?

    No.
    The credit is applied to the account, not the device.

  • TS1292 do i have to have my ipod touch with me to redeem gift card or can i loan via computer to the ipod so it will be available on the ipod

    do i have to have my ipod touch with me to redeem gift card or can i loan via computer to the ipod so it will be available on the ipod

    All the music should be on the computer so you can just sync the music back to the iPod after you restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. Regarding app data, just export (email/file sharing etc) as much as possible so you can import it back.

  • HT5577 Hi, I can access my account, i have my username and password . But I forget my answer of the security question. And I lost the reset email. Any other way I can reset the reset email? I still have my redeemed gift card money in there.

    You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

    Be sure you are using the correct code >  iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes

  • HT201209 how do i fine out my account balance when i redeem gift cards

    If I redeem gift cards, where can I see my account balance?  Also, if I purchase apps, games, etc., How does it know to use the gift card vs. my credit card on file?
    Thx!

    My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iOS devices it 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).
    When purchasing items from the store your account's balance should be automatically used first (you can't gift content from your balance) - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

  • "sign in required" error. Can't use gift cards!

    I am unable to redeem gift cards, even when signed in, on any of my devices! I get a repeated request to sign in...over and over and over. How can I stop this and use my gift card? Thanks!

    In order to have an account in an iTunes Store, you need to have 1)a valid billing address in that country, 2)have a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes gift card purchased in that country and 3)you need to be physically located in that country.
    So, you have two problems. According to the Terms of Sale, you can't use your Canadian account when you are in Costa Rica. And, if you open an account in Costa Rica, cards bought in Canada wont't work. You'd need to buy gift cards in Costa Rica.

    Sir,
    I thought So too but then I went to Itunes Library and try and buy a single song from an album for $1.29.  Now my Itunes Gift card balance is $ 7.10 as I mentioned earlier. it still did not let me buy and kept trying billing my Visa card.
    Should I restart my PC and Itunes and retry. What do you suggest?

  • I get error 5002 when trying to redeem gift cards , what do I need to do to fix this.

    I get error 5002 when trying to redeem gift cards, what can I do to fix this?

    http://store.apple.com/us
    I have been trying to fix this myself and just found a way tonight. This started happening after I downloaded a new version. I tried several other approaches and was unsuccessful until I was directed to the support website.  I searched for 5002 error.  I chose specific conditions and alert message.  Then chose "Error 5002" which gave a little detail. 
    Basically I had to go to the above site and change my password and some other account information.  It didn't work when I tried in my actual ITUNES application.  I think because my account was so old and they upgraded some security items like stronger passwords etc., so the old stuff was no longer good enough.  I have now redeemed two gift cards.  I hope it helps.

  • HT201209 can the same gift card be used with a differencet itunes account?

    can the same gift card be used with a differencet itunes account?

    No, a gift card can only be redeemed onto one account - it can then only be used to buy items for that account (it can't be used to gift content to another account).

  • HT2105 is there a limit on redeeming gift cards per day? how about purchasing in app?

    is there a limit on redeeming gift cards per day? how about purchasing in app?

    AFAIK, there's no limit to how many gift cards can be redeemed in a 24 hour period. Same for In-App purchases.
