Cost of App came out of bank account, not gift card...!?

Hey,
I recently redeemed my £70 Mac Apps gift card. I then downloaded Pages and Numbers. However, only the cost of ONE of them has come off my gift card account. I think the other has been charged to by bank account.
Anyone know how I can pay for the second one via gift card instead or is it too late? Hope I can because I'm totally skint!
Thanks!

Keep in mind, if the total cost of the apps purchased from the App Store exceeds the balance available from the redeemed card, the difference is then charged against your bank account.
Remove bank account details so only the cost is deducted from the redeemed card.
Click Accunt right side of the App Store window under Quick Links.
Enter your Apple ID and password then click View Account.
From the Account Information window click Edit to the right of Payment Type.
Remove your bank account details by clicking None then click Done bottom right side of the window.
Now when you make purchases, the amount will be deducted only from the balance of the redeemed card.

If i purchase itunes match will it come out of my itunes account if i have available money or will it come out my bank account?

Interesting - I just installed match and my balance disappeared. It asks for, and I entered, I credit card. It makes no mention of clearing out your redeemed balance of itunes gift cards. This should be made much clearer. Now I will have to check with my credit card company to ensure only the balance of what was not covered by my itunes gift card balance was charged for match - not the full amount on my credit card as the forms make you believe will occur.

I don't have bank account or credit card can I still use PayPal?

Hi I am 18 and I do not have a bank account or credit card or anything kind of cards like that but can I still sell on eBay and use my paypal account to buy things online without having these items?

To use funds in your paypal account balance you need to have a back up card linked to your paypal account as well. *************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.

So if I want to buy an non-music app I need to buy an iTunes gift card?

I bought gift cards for myself and my family so we could download apps onto our iPads. The gift cards had the the little triangle emblem just like the App Store icon on our iPads.
But nowhere on the iPad App Store is there a method to redeem the gift cards. Phone Support just told me that I have purchased the wrong gift cards and that they are non-transferable.
So if I want to buy an iWork app, I must purchase an iTunes gift card? But I don't want to download music and I don't select the app from iTunes...I select it from the App Store
And if I buy the gift card with the App Store triangle emblem then that card is only good at the online retail store and not for apps?
It seems somewhat absurd to have 3 virtual storefronts (App, Online Retail, iTunes) that cannot take each others gift cards. Why can't Apple be as easy as Amazon? One gift card works everywhere.
Is there any way to use our gift cards to download for-pay apps? Or should I recover my money by disputing the purchase with my credit card company?

Thanks for your reply.
I took my iPad, my case #, my iPhone, and a printout of this thread to my local Apple store. What ultimately worked was to redeem the online store gift card through my iPhone Passbook and use the money to buy an iTunes gift card. Then I redeemed the iTunes gift card.
Not sure this will work with the gift cards I gave as presents and, if I lacked an iPhone (like my mother lacks) then I would have been S.O.L. Apparently the emailed online store gift cards are incompatible (no GCA code). Something for Apple to fix. Not having Passbook on iPad is another thing.
Thanks again for the help

I have money on my iTunes account from gift cards, but can I use this balance to send gifts like songs or albums?

I have money on my iTunes account from gift cards, but can I use this balance to send gifts like songs or albums? It tells me that I need to select a method of payment like a credit card or debit card/paypal but can't I use the balance on my account?

No, you can't. Apple doesn't allow it.

Not only that but you need to report it to the App store link, not to iTunes support since it is a Mac App, not a mobile device app.
Mac OS App Store Customer Service - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account - for Mac OSX applications
It also appears there is a free version and a version for which you have to pay.

Credit available but apps debited from my bank account

I have a balance on my account in the application store. If I buy from I tunes it takes it off the credit balance, but when I buy from the app store it goes off my bank account even though there are funds available? How can I stop this?

Have you changed countries somewhere in this process? That would explain it if you did.
If not, are you buying apps using some non-standard practice (for example, are you "gifting" the apps to someone else)?
If you just buy the apps for yourself, and have not changed countries of iTunes or App Stores, and are signed in correctly at Settings > iTunes & App Stores, it should work fine.

Setting up two iPod Touches on one account with gift cards for app and in-app purchases

I have multiple devices on one account - 2 iPod classics, one iPhone 3G and two recently acquired iPod Touches for my 8 year old boys. They want to make in-app purchases (for Dragonville). They each have their own gamecenter ID. I want to set up each of them with gift cards for their purchases. Is this possible?
If not, what is the recommended approach to manage all devices in one place while allowing individual devices to have a seperate payment mechanism?
Thanks.

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her 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. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
To make sure you only sync the media yoo want, configure iTunes syncing so that only checked media is synced to the idevices.

I have a $20 credit on my iTunes account from Gift Cards and I have no credit card. Why can't I make an in-app purchase?

I've never had a credit card on my iTunes account because I mostly purchase free apps and because I don't own a credit card. If I want to buy an app I use a family members Apple ID. I had two $10 iTunes gift cards and I put them as credits to my iTunes account. Now I'm trying to make an in-app purchase of something worth 19.99 and it says that my iTunes account has insufficient funds. The billing information appears and I choose "none" as I always have for it to charge it to my credit balance but again it says that I have insufficient funds. I checked in my iTunes account and it still says that I have a $20 credit balance.

You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

Trying to retrieve my apps but it tells me "account not in this store"

I upgraded my ipod touch 4th gen and was then asked to restore my ipod and i did. I retieved my photos from icloud but i am unable to get my apps, when i try to download it, it tells me "Account not in this store, your account is not valid for use in the Trinidad and Tobago store, you must switch to the US before purchasing" PLZ help

You can only use the iTunes/App Store in the country you are located and the payment method (billing address, where iTunes gift card purchased) has to be associated with that country,
