How can I activate an iTunes gift card that says it's not properly activated?

I'm trying to download an iTunes gift card and it says that I cannot activate it's because it's not properly activated. I really want to download it so I can buy some more songs. Please help me "activate" my iTunes card.

iTunes gift cards must be redeemed before using.

  • How can I use an iTunes gift card that was sent to me from someone in another country?

    Hi, My son got some iTunes gift cards for Christmas, the problem is that the sender lives in another country and we cannot use the gift cards here in Sweden. Can anyone help us? Thanks in advance.

    You can't use those cards. Sorry.

  • 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.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • HT2736 how can i get a itunes gift cards and itunes gifts code ?

    how can i get a itunes gift code?

    Whether you can get an iTunes gift card depends upon what country that you are in - they are not available in all countries and they are country-specific, they can only be used in their country of issue and only onto accounts that are based in that country. If they are available in your country then you might be able to get them from Apple, or from electrical stores, supermarkets etc

  • I can't activate my iTunes gift card. Pleasehelp

    I can't use my iTunes gift card. When I try to use it it says it isn't activated and there is no  umber to call

    Are you able to take the card back to the store that you bought it from and ask them to activate it properly ? If not then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : 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

    I Wanted to buy itunes gift card but instead I got apple store gift card accidentally how can I buy itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

    You can't from Apple, they don't let you buy iTunes gift cards with an Apple Store gift card. You could see if a different store in your country might let you (though they possibly won't), or try selling the card to somebody e.g. family, friend, eBay etc

  • HT2736 how can i redeem an itunes gift card under a different Apple ID?

    My friend gave me an iTunes gift card not used all the way under their Apple ID but when i go to redeem the gift card under my Apple ID  it says that it has already been redeemed . How can i reset it?

    Neither you, your friend, nor Apple can reset the card or transfer the unused balance to your account in any way.

    Hi,
    Please help me! Last time my iTunes Store Account was registered in Singapore, So, all of my informations, billing address are affecting with SG iTunes Store.
    But now I am at another country, not in SG, That country don't have any credit card systems, so they just only used the iTunes Gift Cards, registering as U.S. When I brought that cards and redeem in my account that showed me "Your iTunes Store (Singapore) does not match that of the gift certificate (United States)" like this. So, how can i do to redeem in my acount, Can anybody give me advises? I tried to change my informations and billing information (with U.S address) at my iTunes account but it showed me "Please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction". So, please give me some ways to buy the softwares and others in iTunes with gift cards.
    Warmest Regards,
    Daniel.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, you can only use the gift card in the location it was purchased and with the iTunes store in that location.
