Does apple ID need to be linked to a credit card to use the itunes prepaid card?

I need help with this issue please

I tried to take my credit card off last night since I will have money on my iTunes prepaid account and it takes it from my credit card instead. This happened to me last week and not the 1st time but doesn't happen very often. I had 2 cards I wanted to put the codes in and it finally took them, apparently last night there was a problem for most people to get their cards to be accepted including me, but at the bottom of the App Store or iTunes Store where you can see your balance they didn't show. I wondered the same thing as you and entered my regular credit info again and all of a sudden my total changed and showed my prepaid card amount correctly. Now I don't know if this has to do with having to have a regular credit card on file or redeeming the cards was slow last night but it did seem to me to be related to having my card on file. I am sure some one will know a definite answer to this.

  • Does Apple Pay setup with camera support portrait mode credit cards?

    I have a credit card that the front face is in portrait mode instead of the traditional landscape view. I tried to used the camera to setup this card in Apple Pay but it would recognize it. I had to set it up manually so I could use that card. I was wandering if Apple Pay camera setup is compatible with those types of cards.

    WiseJD, that's a good way to test the theory, I agree.  But I'm not really blocked on doing anything here, this is more about technical curiosity.  So I don't plan to try that test, since signing out of iCloud means iCloud photos and docs get deleted from the phone and I'd have to get them downloaded again later.  The hassle exceeds my level of curiosity. 
    However, a co-worker pointed me to the iOS Security Guide (Apple Pay starts on page 24).  The second paragraph on page 27 says, "This allows iOS to instruct the Secure Enclave to render cards unusable by marking its copy of the AR as invalid under the following scenarios:
    When the passcode is disabled
    The user logs out of iCloud
    So there is some connection to one's iCloud Apple ID.  The connection appears to be quite minimal, but I accept this as sufficient circumstantial evidence that for users with two Apple IDs, one iCloud and one iTunes, the iCloud Apple ID is the one Apple Pay looks at when deciding whether to offer to include your existing credit cards.
    I'll stick with that as my theory unless someone presents a counterexample.  That is, if someone says they use separate Apple IDs on their phone for iCloud and iTunes, they have no credit card in the iCloud account, and Apple Pay *does* offer them the chance to, "Use Card on File with iTunes," (from their iTunes Apple ID).
    Thanks.

  • On purchasing Ipad online, does Apple asks for email of scanned documents like credit card billings,etc. from buyer?

    Hi!
    My mother wanted an Ipad 3rd generation.  We bought it online because of the free engraving and thinking it was hassle free.
    What is SOP for buying Ipad online?  I received an email (on that day) and a call (day after) that we were required to email to [email protected] or fax to  1800-1651-0554 credit card statement.  Is this valid?  This is my first time to buy gadget online.
    Thank you.

    SoP is used in tangent when advisors speak about Scope of Support. I can't say for sure if this is legit or not because 800 numbers should be... but I am always weary of faxing off credit card info in this day & age.

    You have to do it on the Apple TV itself while it's plugged into a TV so that you can see its screen.
    I quote
    How to update software on your Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation)
    Learn how to update the software on your Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation). It's always a good idea to have the latest software on your Apple TV.
    Update your software
    Select Settings > General > Update Software. Apple TV checks for an available update; if one is available, a download message should appear.
    Click Download and Install to start the download process.
    Do not disconnect your Apple TV during the update process. The Apple TV status light may flash slowly during the update and restart process. This is expected behavior.

    Hello erbim,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The Apple ID you sign in with will allow you access to the purchases made on that ID.

    You can access the itunes store without an account at all.
    You would need a method of payment in order to purchase from the itunes store.

  • TS3474 iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.

    Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

  • I really need help from a human being in using the iTunes store.  4 years ago we got an audio book on learning japanese to play on the ipod.  Now the iTunes store just wants to sell me apps for the iphone or ipad.  I do not have iphone or ipad.  I want...

    Sheesh!  This old man of 70 is really lost in how to use this Apple support community or how to use the iTunes store search.  I do not even know what question to ask.

    Because you stated that you were looking at audiobooks that you could download to the iPod, and talking about apps only being for the iPad and iPhone and none for the iPod. So, even though the source was the iTunes store, you implied that what you were looking for needed to go on the iPod.
    Look, we are not Apple here. We are just fellow users of Apple equipment. We volunteer our time here to try to help people out with issues.
    The reason I needed to know what model of iPod you have was because you were asking about apps. However, unless you have an iPod Touch, there aren't any apps you can purchase from iTunes for it. And that was what I was trying to establish. Now that we have eliminated the option of apps from the discussion, we can focus on Audiobooks.
    As far as Audiobooks go, you can sync any audiobook that your purchase in iTunes to your Nano.
    So, as I indicated in the previous post, if you are looking for Audiobooks then go to the iTunes Store, and in the search bar in the top right-hand corner, type in "Learn Spanish Audiobooks". A list of available audiobooks to learn Spanish will display.

    You need to buy Snow Leopard from the online Apple Store. You don't need Mountain Lion.

  • HT1918 How do I switch from a US Apple ID to a Canadian one without a credit card?

    I have tried switching my existing Apple ID (set up as a US account without billing info) to a Canadian account. However, when I do this there is no "none" option for payment options, and I do not have a credit card to use. Now I cannot download the apps that I want as it says I need to input my payment info to continue.
    Please help!

    You have to have a Canadian credit card, billed to a Canadian account, AND you have ot be physically inside the borders of Canada.
    From the itunes store terms of service:
    "The iTunes Service is available to you only in Canada, 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."
