Can you redeem an iTunes gift card and spend the money across different stores?

I have a £50 iTunes gift card. I know it can be redeemed in either iTunes, the App Store, iBooks Store or Mac App Store. My question is, can I redeem the code in iTunes and then spend some money on iOS apps, some money on songs and some money on iBooks? The wording on the guidance suggests that you may only be able to use the money in one store, the store in which you redeem the card's code.

Yes, you can.
iTunes Gift Cards
iTunes Gift Cards are easy to give, and you can buy them from Apple and from thousands of other retailers in a range of denominations. And every card works in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store — so your recipients can get exactly what they want.

Can you buy a itunes gift card and use it against hardware in the apple store? There seems to be conflicting information when I try to search on this through google.

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."

HT5035 Can you have an iTunes gift card and a credit card on the same iTunes account?

I still have money left on my iTunes gift card, but not enough for a purchase. So I was wondering if I add a credit card to my account, when I make a purchase will it use the rest of the money from my gift card and then charge from my credit card, or would it merely cancel out the gift card and replace it with my credit card?

Yes, it will, unless you make a purchase which can't be done with a gift card, in which case the balance will remain and the entire purchase be charged to the credit card.

Can you redeem an itunes gift card if it has already been redeemed

I was wondering my friend gave me an itunes card and it has 50 dollars on it and i was wondering if there was a way to redeem it or use the money on it

You will need to redeem the Gift Card by clicking on "redeem" under quicklinks in the iTunes Store. you will need to enter the redemption code and then sign into your iotunes account. Once you redeem the code, all the money is then transferred to your iTunes account.

If you are also getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users, we won't know why) : 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

(Typing all in capitals is considered shouting, makes posts difficult to read and may mean that people are less likely to reply.)
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

HT201209 Can you use an iTunes gift card to purchase something actually in an app? (Like buy coins in the app and use your gift card)

Can you use an iTunes gift card to purchase things actually in an app? (Buy "coins" using the gift card?)

No idea, but it seems like you should be able to. You can give it a try, but will have to figure out some way around the automatic 1-click ordering that the App Store now does by default.
It certainly seems like something deserving of a feedback form submission, though ...

Can you use an itunes gift card to purchase ibooks?

Can you use an itunes gift card to purchase ibooks on your iphone? If yes, how? When I attempt to purchase a book it automatically appears that it will automatically charge my stored card.
Thanks!

To use an iTune Gift Card to buy books...
Open iTunes on your computer and click on the iTunes Store.
You'll need to be signed in...
Click on the little House icon in the dark gray bar across the top. (or Shift+Command+H)
On the right side of the page under Quick Links click Redeem and enter your code.
Then it will show your credit balance in the dark gray bar across the top next to your account name to let you know how much you have to spend.
Then as you buy books, it'll deduct from the credit balanace.
There is a distinction between, iTunes Gift Card and Apple Gift Card.
Apple Gift Card: can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at any Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store...
iTunes Gift Card: To give music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, or anything on the iTunes Store, the App Store, the iBooks Store or the Mac App Store, select an iTunes Gift Card

What you normally should do when you have an iTunes card that has not been activated is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, or you don't know or can't get to the retailer, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt

You cannot.
Gift cards are country specific

Can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts?

can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts? on two different computers?

A Gift card will add a specified amount of mony to an iTunes account identified with a specific Apple ID (email address and password combination).
If that Account is set up on both Devices, then they will share the money balance in that account. And can purchase things in the store with that balance.

I'm trying to redeem my itunes gift card and i get the message "session timed out". does anyone know why i'm not able to redeem my card and why i get this message?

i'm trying to redeem my itunes gift card and i get the message "session timed out." does anyone know why i'm not able to redeem my card and why i get this message in stead?

I've been having the same issues too, and thought it was just my outdated computer or account?!
Every time I try to purchase a song, "session has timed out" shows up after I click "agree" to the terms!? I seem to be in the exact same scenario as 'SportsBarn' above: Itunes support have replied repeatedly with the same "solutions" but nothing has helped or even been applicable. I have an older laptop, 2005 Powerbook running OS X 10.4 Tiger so it's not compatible with the latest iTunes 10.5.2 which requires minimum OS X 10.5. I've been using the balance already in my iTunes account (from redeemed giftcards over the past few years) with no problem, until recently (my last successful purchase was October 2011). I wonder if it's the older OS or just a redemption glitch even with newer computers?

I am living in a country where there is no credit card system. Though I have opened ID, whenever I sign in, it always says that I need to review my account. If I bought iTunes gift card and filled the form, will it be OK?

If I buy iTunes gift card and fill the form, do I still need to fill credit card information and will I be able to access iTunes and apple store?

Look for a None option in the Payment Methods;
If you do not have one you will have to supply a bank card or redeem an iTunes Gift Card.
