How do I get an iTunes gift redemption code to set up my new Apple ID?

I have set up a new Apple ID for my iPhone.  I don't have a credit card, so I was trying to use the iTunes gift a friend bought me as my payment method.  But every time I click on the link to redeem the code, it takes me to iTunes, which tells me I have to enter my information (including payment method) before I can use iTunes, so I can't ever see the code that was sent to me.  Is there another way to get that code?

Did you use the instructions on this page when you created the account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method ?
If you didn't then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
Have you tried to download a free app with the account ? If you are prompted to review the account when doing so then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
And see if you can then download a free app.
Or create a new account, and use the instructions on the above link when doing so

    How do you get your iTunes gift card code?

    If you've bought a gift card then it will be on that, if somebody has sent you a gift card then you should have an email with it : redeeming a gift card.

  • 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

  • HT3819 how do i get my iTunes library from my old laptop to my new mac (my purchases have moved across but not my own music files)

    How do I get my itunes library from my old laptop to my new imac? My purchases are showing on the new imac but not my own music files.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

    I don't believe Apple has an online store in Israel. You'll have to look elsewhere, where, I can't say. But, the gift card must be purchased in Israel. Could be they are simply not sold there.

  • HT201209 How to get an itunes gift card code, no need to wait for shipping

    Good day to all,
    I want to get an itunes gift card just to download whatsapp on my iphone 3gs. I have my credit card but the billing address is in Haiti, unfortunately Haiti is not in your list of  countries. How can I get itunes gift card code immediately in order to download that application? No need to wait for shipping, just want to have the code to add it to my apple account.
    If you have a better solution, it's welcome.
    Thank you in advance for your reply

    Sorry, but you can't, if you live in Haiti. As you say yourself, there is no iTunes Store for Haiti and you are not allowed to use the iTunes Store of any other country.
    If you live in a country where there is an iTunes Store, check to see if Apple sells physical gift cards in your country and if so purchase and redeem one of those. There is no way to purchase an electronic gift certificate from Apple without a credit card from the country whose iTunes Store you wish to use.
    Regards.

    How are you suppose to get an iTunes gift card? New here

    What country are you in ? iTunes gift cards are not available in all countries, and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue), so you may not be able to buy them. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy them from Apple, and/or from electrical stores, supermarkets etc

  • How do I get my iTunes library from my old mac to my new one?

    How do I get my iTunes and for that matter iPhoto libraries from my old mac 15" Tetherball iMac running OS 10.4.11 iTunes ver. 9.0.2 to my new iMac running 10.6.2 but also using iTunes ver. 9.0.2? I used the migration assistant, and a firewire cable, to move my "Music" folder to the new mac, but it insisted that I create a new user on the new mac for the data, rather than giving me a choice to move it into my user account. Also, based on some info from The Missing Manual and the Take Control books I created a separate user that is not an Administrator on the computer to be my primary login. When I simply tried to copy the music folder - iTunes failed to open. And because I am not an admin I can't access the new folder to copy it while I am in my non-admin user on the new computer. I have looked through as many of the posts as I could wade through and didn't see anything quite as simple as I think my problem is. Thanks, in advance.

    Did you use Migration Assistant to move all you contents or did you create a new account on the new Mac before transferring?
    I had a similar problem when I got my MBP as I created an account on the new Mac at the store to confirm that the MBP was ok. Mistake. I got how home and had loads of issues so I ended up reinstalling the system on the new MBP and using Migration Assistant to move ALL my stuff from the old to the new.
    Another choice is to clone your old Mac to an ext HD then swap that cloned HD with the HD in your new Mac.
    Regardless of which way you go make sure you de-authorize your old Mac before getting rid of it.

  • HT1689 How can I get my  itunes gift card balance to me?

    I recently received a ITunes Gift card and I "redeemed" it. My credit balance states the same amount but I cannot find where to look to see if I have already used the $15.00 up on it and I have purchased a couple more songs. On my Purchase page it is showing that they have put some clharges on my debit card which was supposed to go to the gift card . Where can I find "support help" to resolve this question? Is there a number I can call them at?  Please help someone. Greatly would appreciate it.

  • How can I get my itunes library from my old pc to my new pc?

    On my old one, when I downloaded the newest version of itunes it reset my ipod nano deleting everything (everything is still in itunes just not on the ipod).  So I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.  It keeps saying that there are no drivers to uninstall/reinstall, doesn't work.  My dad gave me another pc and I would like to know how to get the itunes library to it without having to burn eveything to cds and transfer it that way.  I don't have any other apple products, but I do have a blackberry curve and a kindle fire.  Could I use one of them to transfer?  I appreciate any help I can get.

    if youre music was in the default plcae for music to be kept (mine is C:\Users\*whatever youre name is*\Music)
    and you have removable storage (flash drive or an external HDD) just go to where you have youre music stored select youre data and move it to the usb flashdrive/HD then just plug it in to the other pc and if you have itunes installed go to C:\Users\*ur username here*\Music
    iTunes\ITunes Media then drag it into the automatically added to itunes folder.
    this is basically the same on xp\vista\7 excpet vista\7 have "libraries" kinda just shortcuts to where the data is stored by default.
    if this confuses you sorry.

  • How to I get my itunes library from my iphone back on to my apple laptop?

    I just had to get a new hard drive in my laptop- How do I get the music from my itunes library on my iphone back onto my apple laptop?

    Your music will not magically appear anywhere.  It will only be where you put it.
    You need to copy your music from the old computer to the new one.
    Use your backup copy of your computer.
    Type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar.  You will find instructions there.

    How do I retrieve my iTunes library from a broken computer onto another computer?? I've clicked on home sharing and also authorized the new computer to my account but still nothing!

    It would help if you would describe what a 'broken' computer is. Did a truck run over it? Does it just not turn on? etc.

  • TS5223 Updated to iOS8. I don't remember the password for my old Apple ID or the password for that e-mail. I can't delete the iCloud account without knowing it, although my iTunes and everything else is set to the new Apple ID and password. Help?!

    I keep getting pop-ups telling me to sign in to my iCloud and it's very annoying. I have no idea what the old password was, and I don't really have a way of changing the old password because I also don't know my password for the e-mail address connected to it (it kept telling me that the answers to my security questions were wrong, but I'm not sure what other answers they would have been). Therefore, I created an entirely new e-mail and a new Apple ID and everything else is set to that ID... except iCloud. Is there any way to correct this, or am I out of luck?

    If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID*, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
    * If that's not the case, you'll have to contact the Apple account security team and ask for assistance resetting the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  You'll have to be able to prove your identity to them before they will do this.
