Can you buy from iTunes with gift cards rather than use a credit card?

I have given my 17 year old nephew an ipod for his birthday and as he doesn't have a credit card can he use gift cards to buy from the iTunes store without one? Do you have to have a credit card to open an iTunes account? I wanted to give him a gift card to start him off with the iPod as he doesn't have many cd's to load on to it.

Yes, he can create an account and make purchases with gift card.
When he gets the gift card, have him open the iTunes store and click on Redeem at the top right under *Quick links*.
Input the card number then select *Create new account*.
Input the personal info and when it gets to credit card info, select None.

HT204411 why can't i buy from itunes store worldwide, even when i have a credit card? Why am i restricted to my own country?

Is there anyone who can enlightened me?
Why so many barriers?

Sorry... But... You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

No. iTunes cards are valid only for purchases in the iTunes Store.

iTunes Gift Cards can be used to make purchases from the Mac App Store. Apple Store Gift Cards are redeemable in Apple retail stores, and may not be used on the Mac App Store."

There are a number of tools for merging the files into one. Personally I don't bother, but you'll find links on my page which describes how to manage Audiobooks on iPods.

It could be the activation server is unavailable right now, however have you or anyone else ever used that computer to jailbreak or hack another phone? That can have an affect on the hosts file. You can check this regarding information on the hosts file or security software problems.

I want to download an album from Canada, it will not let me use my credit card on file, why?

You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence ( as proven by the valid billing address in your credit card) AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
You would have to buy it elsewhere - Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc.

I have created a Muse site for a client that wishes to host with Business Catalyst. How do I publish the site with their account rather than using one of my free sites?

I have created a Muse site for a client that wishes to host with Business Catalyst. How do I publish the site with their account rather than using one of my free sites? This is so I can keep my free ones for personal projects but also so they can pay for their own hosting. I am happy to set it all up for them but not sure what to do.

Hi
You can use their BC login details and use them , which on publish the site will be under their account.
Please change the BC login from Edit > Preferences > Publish > Switch Accounts , for Mac it would Adobe Muse > Preferences
Thanks,

Can you buy add ons with an itunes gift card

Can you buy add ons to a game on iphone5s with an itunes gift card ? Thank you

If you mean in-app purchases, yes, in most cases a gift balance will work. Some apps do not accept gift balances, but I've not heard of a game where that is the case.
Regards.

Can you buy a ipod with itunes gift cards

I found some guift cards on ebay and they have like $75 for $50 so i was wondering if i could buy a ipod with gift cards

Careful of those gift cards on ebay. I know a guy that bought a $100 gift card from ebay for $75 and after he entered the code in his iTunes account, he got a note from Apple saying the purchase of the gift card was reported by the credit card company as a fraudulent purchase, so he lost the credit and was out the $75 + shipping he paid the ebay seller.
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

HT1933 Can't buy from iTunes because of foreign address on card

I am living abroad right now, and my foreign address is registered on my American debit card. iTunes won't let me put in a foreign address on an American card, but when I go to Japan iTunes, it won't let me use an American card. How am I supposed to buy music??

Both your method of payment and the billing address for that method of payment must be for the country of the store you are shopping in. No way around that.
Can you get a pre-paid Japanese card? Or just use Japanese gift cards.

Can you print from DOS with Photosmart Premium C410 a ?

Installed printer but cant print from DOS.Can this printer be used to print from DOS Works fine printing from Windows XP
Thanks

First, AirPrint is not something you buy. It's built into iOS.
Second, John asked if you could print from an iPad with a cable:
Can you print from an I pad with a cable?
Third, in your reply to me, you said "you can" which would imply that one can print from an iPad via a cable, which again cannot be done.

Can you buy limited subscriptions with skype manag...

can i buy limited subscriptions with skype manager or only unlimited?
because in skype manager it looks like i can only select unlimited plans...

Currently, only Unlimited Subscriptions.
That Said, if you are NOT in the U.S. you can add a normal Skype name, and give them credit so that they could purchase a Limited subscription, or if you are in the U.S. and the Skype member is a business Skype name, you could do the same.

Mac Hacked, wanting to buy third party virus scan but afraid to use my credit card

My Mac 10.6.8 was hacked last night. All administrative passwords were changed essentially locking me out of my own computer. My personal AOL email was also attacked and the passwords changed. After a very helpful Apple employee helped me reset all my passwords, I went shopping for a good, relyable third party virus scan and/or remover. But now the quandry is: how do I buy a product to get rid of the problem using a credit card when the virus is still in my computer.
I am at a loss.

and do you know if this is a new attack. have there been other cases?
People have come here with serious hacks on their Mac's, it happens but not that often.
So far there isn't a widespread issue like from malware, it might have been a isolated incident on your part.
Run the Sophos and it if finds anything good, but malware can make anti-virus lie. So a complete flush is still in order.
Anti-virus won't catch a hacker. To prevent hackers you need a intrusion detection system and there hasn't been a easy to use one for Mac's in ages.
i'm a bit scared about my personal info.
Don't put or do anything with computers or technology that your not willing to share with the world.
Apple, Google and Microsoft all have been successfully hacked. Nobody is perfect.
i've been checking activity moniter... is there anything i should be looking for.
If they are in EFI, no.
Acitiviy monitor only shows what is going on in OS X, not in EFI or firmware.
If you want to check OS X out. Then open Terminal and paste/press return and upload the file on your desktop/home folder to this website, they will check for known malware.

if i shut off my internet are they still capable of screwing me?
Yes of course, they can leave a timer and destroy your data or encrypt it etc.,
Being cut off the Internet doesn't stop them, just they lose contact, can't use your machine like a bot.

can this result in identity theft? should i proactively call the police?
You should file a report, with them, beause if someone does something in your name it's a matter of record you reported a intrusion into your computer.
You also should talk to your bank, freeze any credit cards you have used on the machine, any information that they can use to gain access to your accounts.
If they go into your machine and emails, they go for the money and whatever they can charge on you also.
This is why I say call in a professional, I'm not here 24/7 to assist and just lucky I saw your post.
