Confused on accounts for itunes store. using gift cards

Okay so basically im really frustrated with itunes right now because i have been trying to purchase a movie and a couple of music videos. I bought 2 $15 itunes gift cards for the sole purpose of buying things on itunes store. the reason i got the cards is because i dont have a credit card because i am too young and my mother will not let me use hers. Then just now when i got home and tried to redeem my gift cards its asking me for billing information so that i can continue.... what is the point of that.. i really just want to use my card and not have to have credit cards involved... is there a way that i can do that? Because if there is not then i am basically.. screwed and i cant buy anything and i wasted 30 dollars for no reason...

On the main iTunes store screen, click on Redeem on the right side.
Put in the card number.
It will ask to *Create new account* or *Use existing account*.
If you do not have an account, select *Create new account*.
You don't have to enter in a CC number. You cna if you want but it's not required.

  • Reading terms and conditions page 3 of new account for iTunes Store before I  put in US$ voucher purchased in Zimbabwe. If I'm traveling world wide, willI still be able to access the US services via this same account?

    You can only use the US store if you are in the US with a US billing address on your account - the US store's terms of use (and they will be similar for all countries) :
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.

  • Itunes store multiple gift cards on one account

    Using one store account for multiple iPods and users, and having different iTunes gift cards to redeem per user, when entering the card info using Redeem function, does the store account list the distinct gift cards to select when making a purchase or automatically charge the cc on file? Bottom line, want to be able to make purchases and select the CC or gift card to charge against.
    Thanks

    does the store account list the distinct gift cards to select when making a purchase or automatically charge the cc on file?
    No.
    It charges gift cards first, then from CC.
    If you have different users, they should create their own iTunes account and add their gift cads to their own account.

  • Accounts for itunes stores

    hello, I currently have an id for the UK itunes store, one for the USA one and I am now residing in Colombia. Do i have to open another account for Colombia?

    Whilst you are in Columbia you can only use the Columbia store - part of the store's terms is that you have to be in a country to use its store. You can either create a new account or update the billing address on one of your existing accounts to be your new address : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - Apple Support

  • Apple TV - watch iTunes movie using gift card credits.

    What process do I need to use to rent an iTunes movie, pay for with gift card credits and watch on Apple TV? Can I do it directly from the Apple TV? Windows iTunes and current model of Apple TV.

    For me I just load up the credit in iTunes on a computer or iPhone/iPad.  When I rent/buy on AppleTV the store credit is used before the linked credit card, you just don't see the store credit on AppleTV.  Occasionally peopel have had the cc debited but if that happened I'd contact iTunes Store support and get them to sort it out.

  • HT2534 can i download from app store using gift card in any country ?

  • Purchasing an iPod via iTunes store with gift cards

    I have lots of credit on my iTunes account and I want to use that to purchase an iPod. If I go to purchase an iPod it doesn't give me that option it wants to charge my credit card.
    I'm I just SOL? I've contacted Apple support online a couple of times, but never heard anything back. Do you think going to an Apple store might help?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, I do not believe that you can purchase an iPod with iTunes cards. Apple advertises the iPod on iTunes, but if you click on that, it takes you onto Internet Explorer (or another browser), to the Apple Online Store.

  • HT1689 How do I change my iTunes account to use gift cards only without it prompting for my credit card info?

    How do I change my iTunes account setting to only use gift cards without it prompting me for credit card info to make a purchase. I have credit on my account from gift cards but it won't let me purchase without entering credit card info...I do not want to enter credit card info.

    Itunes verifies your account using your cc info.

  • How much does it cost to verify your account for iTunes?

    Yesterday, I downloaded iTunes for my Windows 7 Home Premium computer, and when I tried to sign in using my account (not from this website, but from the desktop icon iTunes store) you have to verify the US billing payment. My problem is that they don't tell me how much to pay. My Dad is willing to pay for me (since I don't have a Credit Card), but he won't do it unless he knows how much it costs.

    There is no cost involved unless you then purchase something. The iTunes Store uses credit-card billing information to verify that you are a resident of the country whose iTunes Store you wish to use. This is required by the content owners who, for a number of reasons, do not allow cross-border sales.
    If you had an existing account, created either just for the free apps or with a prepaid iTunes card or gift certificate, just go through the verification steps to confirm your address and you should be fine.
    Regards.

  • HT201209 We are trying to use gift card to purchase music. But it keeps trying to charge my debit card instead of gift card. HELP

    How do i use itunes card to buy music. It wants to use my credit card info instead.

    Hello
    Please make sure if you have not done so already. Download the latest version of iTunes 8.0.2 below.
    If for some reason you find it is still charging credit card vs gift card balance, Please contact iTunes Store support below.

  • How should I give itunes autonomy to my children now that they are in high school and have used my Mac and my itunes account to buy music for years, including all gift cards given to them. They now both have their own computers.

    When my children were younger, and needed more help and oversight, I had them purchase songs with my permission, often with gift cards that they had been given on various occaisions. Now, however, they both have laptops, they would like to split out "their" music and books, sync their Itouches to their own system, and I would love to have 9000 less Taylor Swift songs stored on my hard drive. Also, it seems that I can't set up independent Itunes accounts for them without a credit card, however they both get gift cards several times a year. A suggestion for this? It must happen to a lot of families. Thanks.

    Unfortunately you cannot split (nor merge) items purchased with an AppleID.  I am not clear on what you will have to do to allow them continued access to their music on your account.  Apple no longer has DRM protection in its music but then I also hear people have all kinds of authorization issues when trying to synch so it sounds like they still keep restrictions on what you can do with the music when trying to move it about.  I'll let somebody more experienced with syncing answer this part.  You may have to authorize their computers and devices to your AppleID to allow them all functionality with the music.
    Ideally you would have set them up with their own AppleIDs years ago but...

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • HT1918 cannot change my email account that the iTunes store uses for my login

    cannot change my email account that the iTunes store uses for my login

    What happens when you try to change it ? You should be able to change by logging into your account on this page : http://appleid.apple.com
    Or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes
    You might then need to log out of your account on any devices (iPad, iPhone, IPod Touch) that you have and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
