Gift Cards bought in an other country than the country it will be used in.

Hello,
I got a Gift Card bought in The Netherlands, while my Apple ID is linked on the Belgian store. When I write down the code in the Belgian store, iTunes sends me to the NL-shop. When I write down the code in the NL-shop, I'm told that my Apple-ID is restricted to the Belgian Store...
Do I have to conclude that my gift card is worthless now? :-(
Thanks in advance!

iTunes gift cards are only valid in their country of issue, so you will need to be in the Netherlands with a Dutch billing address to be able to use that card. Do you know anybody in the Netherlands that you could sell or give the card to ?

The airport only finds other networks than the home network I have used before. Doesn' help to try to manually add/find this network, it simply doesn't come up. All other networks in the neighborhood are found though. Doesn't help to reboot either

The airport only finds other networks. Not the home network which I have used before.
It doesn't help to search for new networks, try to manually search or add the network. Doesn't
help to turn off/on the airport or even the mac. Doesn't help to reboot the home network - which is
found and connected on the iPhone and iPad. (and network speed is good enough for many devices).
The network just doesn't come up on the list of available networks.
No chance to update software, since got no internet.

I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.

If your iTunes Store account is for another country, you can't redeem a card from another country even if you are currently present in that country. You would need to either move your existing account to the Netherlands or set up a new account in the Dutch iTunes Store, either of which would require you to also have a valid Dutch mailing address. Unless you're going to be in the Netherlands for quite a while, I would suggest you just give or sell that iTunes card to someone who lives in the Netherlands.
Regards.

Itunes gift card bought in US to use in US iTunes Store but to a device in Brazil

I live in the US and my friend in Brazil asked me to buy an apple iTunes gift card for her. Can she use this iTunes gift card to buy and download stuff in the American iTunes site to her device in Brazil? Seems to be a better method than using credit cards but I'm concerned that she has a non-US ip address and her purchase might be blocked.

Choose your iTunes Gift Card - Apple Store (U.S.)
iTunes Gift Cards are not available in Luxembourg, Portugal, or Greece. Gift recipient must have or open an iTunes Store account in the same country as purchaser to redeem gift.

Gift Card bought from Authorized Dealer

So I was given a gift card from Verizon worth $100..Apparently, I wanted to use it to buy a new phone but Verizon didnt want to accept it because the gift card was bought from an Authorized Dealer. The gift card was CLEARLY a Verizon card, so my question is WHY cant I use it for a purchase to another Verizon store other than the one where the gift card was bought? The store where the gift card was bought is a Verizon Store, so it confuses people BIG TIME because the bigger Verizon store says its not actually a Verizon store! Which is which?!

Hello frencchy, I apologize for the inconvenience and the confusion. Does the gift card have any branding other than Verizon Wireless? Did the corporate location attempt to run the gift card for payment? You can also try to use the gift card on http://www.vzw.com/myverizon to see if it will be valid. Please keep me updated on the status.
Thank you,

HT1541 I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I purchase an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I buy an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

Sorry, but it's quite possible that you can't. If there's an Apple Store in the country to which you want to give the gift, you can call them ask ask if they'll accept a Canadian credit card for a gift card purchase to be shipped to an address in the relative's country. If they won't, then you'd have to find an independent reseller in that country that carries iTunes gift cards who could accept your credit card, and there may be none.
Regards.

HT1933 I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found. I have used the gift card previously with no issue. How do I fix

I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found. I have used the gift card previously with no issue. How do I fix it?

Have you moved or deleted those tracks on your computer (the gift card has got nothing to do with it) ?
You might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) - if those songs appear there then delete the entries from your iTunes library (where you are clicking on them to play them and gettinf the 'original file' error), and they should then get a cloud symbol against them for re-downloading.
If they don't appear in that link then have you got them on, for example, an external drive ?

If I have an iTunes gift card already redeemed on my account, than how do I buy a song using the money from the gift card instead of charging my credit card?

Hi, in my case It did not use the balance first. I had balance but it used my credit card. Do I have to sign in Itunes first? Thanks.

HT201209 Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use?

Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use? I have a brother that lives in Vietnam and I want to buy him a gift card that he can use there. I've read the iTunes gift cards are country specific.

What you have read is correct; gift cards are country specific. So only if iTunes cards are issued in Vietnam, and if they are if you can find a retailer there that sells such cards and would accept an out-of-country credit card, would you be able to purchase a gift card for your brother. The same would apply to any other country.
Regards.

You can't see when gift cards were redeemed onto your account, nor what you bought with it - you can only see your entire purchase history via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, it won't show what payment method method was used for each item : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
