Gift certificate "redeem now" doesn't

I received a gift certificate on Christmas eve, today when I tried to redeem it, at first I got a message that said the music store was not available now, and later all I got was this message:
"Not Found
The requested URL /WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.app.finance.DirectAction/showDial ogForRedeem was not found on this server.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at phobos.apple.com Port 443"
Is this just a temporary problem or is it something I should worry about? I want my music!!!
Thanks, guys....

Well, never mind, it's working now. I guess the store's been busy, but I've been trying all day and no one else had mentioned it.
Sorry to bother you...... Now, go back to surfing.

  • Gift Certificate Redeem Code never emailed

    I went to the Itunes store today online and purchased a $50 gift certificate for my partner. It has been 10 hours now and she still has not received it in her email. We checked all the spam filters and I resent this to three other email accounts to see if it would be delivered. It never showed up in any of the emails. We tried to call the Itunes Gift certificate support desk and it was impossible to get through the automated operator. Finally after 7 attempts we talked to someone and they said it could take up to 24 hours for the email to come through. We also put an email into the Itunes support helpdesk asking them to help. We haven't heard back yet. I really wanted her to be able to use the $50 gift certificate right away. How do I get the code to redeem my $50 and if I never get my code is the best course of action going to my bank/credit card company and disputing the charge. Please help, I just want my $50 code.
    Thanks for any help you can give!

    the mail might have somhow been blocked somehow

  • HT2736 not eligible to purchase gift certificates

    So for many years I have been able to buy gift certificates, until now. I get a message saying my account is not eligible to purchase gift certificates. I contacted Apple and all they could say was yes, I am not eligible to purchase gift certificates, but they offered no explanation.
    This is lame, considering I have been buying gift certificates for years.
    Any ideas as to why?

    My account had a $0.48 credit balance and it said it was going to charge my credit card, which is what I wanted. I have since purchased something to remove the credit balance then tried again. Still no luck.

  • Why does iTunes say This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift certificates.

    Why does iTunes keep telling me This Apple ID is not currently eligible to purchase gift cards, when I can automatically purchase music?

    I had the same problem.  Then after trying many times, it suddenly let me buy a gift certificate, but now I get the message again. I have contacted support via express lane and had no answer in many days.....

  • Apple ID not authorized to purchase Gift Certificate

    Why was I able to purchase gift certificates and now all of a sudden I'm not allowed?

    Apple rep was very helpful but it may take a couple of tries.  Go right to Apple for help and write up your problem in detail and they will reply.

  • HT201209 I have tried to redeem a gift card but I get the message "the gift certificate or card you have entered has already been redeemed". I haven't redeemed it, please help.

    Hi.
    I recently bought a £15 ituens gift card for my partner. Since she is not too savvy with itunes, I went on to her account to redeem it for her. I scratched off the panel and entered the code into the correct box on itunes and was told "the gift certificate or card you have entered has already been redeemed".
    I took the card back to Morrisons Supermarket in Guiseley where I had bought it and was told that since Morrisons only sell gift cards on behalf of iTunes and receive a commission, that they could do nothing and I had to take the problem up with iTunes.
    Well, dealing with iTunes is no easy thing. I finally found what I thought was the right area on the website and was directed to send an email. I did this, but the chap I got through to seemed to think I had a problem with my iTunes software or that I didn't know how to redeem the card. I tried my best - over several emails - to get through to him that the problem was with the gift card code and that they may have been hacked. It would be very easy for them to find out that a) I wasn't the one who had redeemed the code and b) who the culprit was due to the fact they would know whose iTunes account the code had been credited to. I got nowhere, the chap sent me a link to "account security" and told me to phone them even though it was not possible to get a phone number from the link he sent me.
    So, I got back in touch with Morrisons customer complaints and basicaaly told them that as far as I was concerned they were selling faulty goods on behalf of another company and that they should at least try and help me out with iTunes. I have since received an email from Morrisons asking for all the details of the card so they can look into it. iTunes - meanwhile - have stopped replying to my emails and I am now being completely ignored by them.
    Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know where I stand and how I can either get my money back or get the funds put on to my partners iTunes account?
    Many thanks
    Damian

    Not likely you'll get a "history" but Apple should be able to resolve the problem.

  • **Selling Itunes Gift Certificate on Ebay after being redeemed and used??**

    I recieved an itunes gift certificate via email for 50.00. I have already redeemed it in the itunes store and used it so now there is around 33.00 left on the certificate. Is it possible to sell the remaining amount on Ebay? If when they win and i give them the gift certificate code, will it work for them? Please reply! Thanks!

    Why can't your friend use the Gift Certificate?
    The below text is from the page http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/gift/
    "I would like to cancel my gift:
    Because your gift is immediately transmitted to your recipient, we are not able to cancel your gift once your order is placed."
    iTS customer service is web access only - there is no phone number.
    Are you using the correct web page to submit your problem? You can look at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/ and see which option is best for you.

  • REDEEMING GIFT CERTIFICATE-- LOST MUSIC!  arrrgh

    I see a similiar string but not precisely the same issue. Here goes!
    I redeemed a gift certificate for the specific album that was gifted to me. I didn't remember my mac password right away and after a few tries, it asked me if I want help. I said 'no' and the download process did not complete (ie no new music in iTunes on my PC). I attempted passwd again and this time got it right... and went to redeem gift certificate again. This time, though-- it listed the goft cert code number and said it was already redeemed... and cannot be redeemed again. Well, I have searched both iTunes and on my PC (in general) and this album is definitely not on my computer. So iTunes store says I have it but I actually never completed the process... and now this music seems to be lost in limbo.
    Any ideas here?? Am pulling my hair out over this (what little is left), I don't see anything like this listed in their online support, etc. Arrrgh!

    My advice is to contact the iTunes store directly via their email support link. You can find this link when you're in iTunes and you click on the store and then the support link in the right-hand column. Pick a topic "lost music" or something similar and then at the bottom of this page will be an email link with your name and email address already filled in. Report your problem just as you've reported it here and see what they say.
    As an aside, I also had a gift certificate that I tried to redeem but the song I wanted was no longer available. My account was charged $0.99. (They must take the money out before the song gets downloaded.) I decided it wasn't worth the effort to try to get back a $1 so I accepted the loss and moved on. A few days later, I'm happy to report, the $0.99 was credited back to my account. Apple discovered the mistake and corrected it without me having to do anything.

  • How do I pay for an Itune to come out of a redeemed gift certificate?

    How do I pay for an Itune to come out of a redeemed gift certificate?

    Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
    From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
    In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
    Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

  • My iTunes card won't redeem and when I try to it comes up with this "The gift certificate or prepaid card code you entered has not been properly activated. Please contact iTunes Store costumer support for assistance" can anyone help me?

    My iTunes card won't redeem and when I try to it comes up with this "The gift certificate or prepaid card code you entered has not been properly activated. Please contact iTunes Store costumer support for assistance" can anyone help me?

    Is the store that you bought the card from nearby so that you can try going back and asking if they can activate the card properly ? If it's not, or if they can't/won't activate, then you will need to do as the message says and contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt)

  • I purchased an iTunes gift certificate with my Canadian-based American Express card (I live there) and had it emailed as a gift to someone at a hotel in the U.S.; Now, he cannot seem to use it. Apple online said it is cause it's only usable in Canada! Wha

    I bought a gift certificate from iTunes, online, for someone travelling in the U.S. temporarily. He is a Canadian, I am a U.S. citizen, and I bought it using my Canda-based American express account, as I live in Canada.  Now he is told by Apple on the telephone that he cannot use the certificate to buy anything as it was purchased on a computer in Canada.  This seems utterly impossible!  Does Apple have walls between countries?  It seems to me that someone stuck in a hotel, with his iPhone, might want to purchase stuff from iTunes, but now it seems this cannot be done and he will have to return to Canada to use the certificate.  What the heck kind of instant gift service is that!?
    Anyone know how to deal with this?  The person travelling is gone another couple of months.  Anyone ever try for a refund from iTunes?

    When you tried to contact Support with the card's images how were you trying to do it, on your phone or a browser on your computer ? And have you tried a different browser to see if you get the same error message ?
    As well as images of the card they might also want an image of its receipt.
    And to contact Support you were using : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ , and clicked on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes ?

  • How to redeem an iTune email Gift Card (has no Code..just a "Redeem Now" button)

    I received an iTune Gift for a music album that was sent to my email. 
    When I open the email, I can see that iTunes Store sent it and i have a picture of the Album with a "Redeem Now" button that appears next to the album.
    Every time I hit the "Redeem Now", it always takes me to the same iTunes page where only offers to download the latest iTunes 10.  However, I already have iTunes 10 installed and I can't seem to be able to get directly to download the gift...am always back on the iTunes 10 Download page! 
    I also tried signing into my iTunes account first and then click on the "Redeem Now" within the email...but no success... back at the same iTunes 10 Download page! 
    Finally, i signed directly into my iTunes account and selected the "Redeem" quick link.  Unfortunately, this one insists on entering a Code to start the process.  My email from iTunes Store does not show any code information...just the "Redeem Now" button! 
    It seems that I am going in circle ..and not yet able to download the gift.
    Any thoughts ?

    How did u figure it out?
    Can u please let me know how to do it im having the same problem as u

  • HT204088 How can I tell if an iTunes gift certificate I purchased for someone else has been redeemed?

    I purchased a gift certificate through the iTunes store and although I can apparently re send it, I cannot tell if it has been redeemed.
    Does anyone know the navigation to check if it has been redeemed?
    thanks

    Probably not, but go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps there will be something they can do for you.
    Should you ever need to resend a gift in the future, follow the procedure detailed here:

    Hi Mimi2,
    Thanks for reaching out to us here. I'm sorry for the difficulties you and your customers are having redeeming gift certificates. Depending on how your website is set up there may be some variation in how this would be redeemed. Without knowing the website I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to walk you through it step by step, but basically it should work similar to this:
    Begin your checkout on the merchant's website.
    Verify your payment details.
    Click Select Code or enter a redemption code and click "Redeem Code."
    Click "Continue Checkout" to complete the payment.
    Please reach out to us via one of our customer service channels for assistance if this does not help. You can contact us by phone or email by clicking the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the PayPal page. You can also reach out to us via Facebook or on Twitter at @AskPayPal for help!
