How do I redeem a gift card in iTunes music store, without upgrading iTunes

I am trying to use a gift card in the iTunes music store, and am given prompts to upgrade to the newest version of iTunes. I do not want to upgrade, and have found no option to use gift card without the upgrade. Suggestions?

Sell the gift card to someone who IS willing to upgrade?

  • How can I redeem the gift card from mac app store

    I entered it into itunes store, but it doesn't have app for Mac.
    In Mac app store, I didn't find a place to redeem the card. When I purchase, it went ahread and used my credit card!

    Sorry to hear this. since the Mac App store came out Apple has eliminated the cross between itunes gift cards and app store gift cards. However, for future reference on entering gift cards into the Mac App Store; You are going to want to do is open up the Mac App Store. When you do, you will look for a redeem button in the right-hand colomn. Click on it, and follow the onscreen steps to redeem your card.

    How do I redeem a gift card in the South African storefront?

    Is the gift card from the South African store?  If not, you will not be able to redeem it in the South African store as the card must be redeemed in the country's store it was purchased in.
    If you can redeem it, open the App Store, and on the "Featured" tab, scroll down to the bottom to where it says "Redeem".

    There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
    If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions then you can get them reset : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How can I redeem my gift card if I don't own a credit card

    How can i redeem my gift card if I do not own a credit card?

    Whether a credit card needs to be entered onto an account depends upon how you created the account. Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if the instructions on this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not then you will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • HT201209 I just redeemed my gift card.  50.00 is now in my apple account...when I go to download a song it wants me to verify my billing info. How do I redeem the gift card and not having the price go on my credit card??

    I just redeemed my gift card....my apple acct says I have 50.00.  When I go to download a song it goes right to my billing info.  Wants me to verify my credit card info but no where to redeem my gift card.  How do I do this??

    I took this straight from the help menu.
    You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
    Hide 
    Use an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or iTunes Gift Card
      If you aren’t already signed in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In at the top of the iTunes Store window. 
      Below Quick Links, click Redeem, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    The amount in your account appears to the left of your account name. When you click the Buy button to make purchases, the amount changes to show how much money remains in your account.
    You can use a gift certificate only in the iTunes Store for the same country in which the certificate was purchased.

  • HT201209 My daughter lost her gift card for ITunes but we still have the receipt from the purchase. How can we redeem her gift card without the card?

    My daughter lost her ITunes gift card but we still have the receipt. How can we activate the gift card?

    Go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They usually will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt, so you should contact the person who gave her the card and ask if they can send you a copy of the receipt. Many resellers provide a gift receipt for just this sort of purpose.
    Regards.

  • How do I Change my gift card over  from  music. To games

    I have just redeemed a gift card. From my iTunes and I redeemed it in my. Music app instead of my game ap how can I change it over to my game Apple ID

    Any iTunes gift cards (including gift cards for iBooks, for Apps, for iTunes) once redeemed into your account, can then be used to buy anything including music, movies, iBooks, Apps, and even in-App items.
    Apple's gift cards no matter what it is supposed to be for, happens to be just the very same thing, and can be used for anything on iTunes Store.
    It is only just a marketing thing.
    Unless you meant you have TWO Apple ID accounts? You meant you use one Apple ID for music and a different Apple ID for Apps and games??

  • How do I change my gift card region to usa store?

    I want to change my gift card region from Canada to US... Any help? I already sent an email to support and waiting for their reply

    I'm not sure what you mean by "change your gift card region". If you have an iTunes card that was issued in Canada, you cannot use it in the US iTunes Store, and Apple will not exchange the card for a US one. If your iTunes Store account is in the US, you will need to give or sell the card to someone in Canada and then buy a US-issued gift card.
    If that doesn't answer your question, please post back and clarify what it is you wish to accomplish.
    Regards.

  • How do I redeem a gift card has not been properly activated?

    I recieved a 100 dollar app store gift card when I bought my mac for college. when I tried to redeem the card it said that it hadnt been "properly activated". I typed it in at least three times, double checking the letters, then I used the camera to get the code and the same message kept coming up. I'm not sure how to "properly activate" my card.

    Typically if the card was not activated properly you would want to check with the merchant. Since in this case you received it from Apple, you would want to contact Apple Support. http://www.apple.com/support/contact

  • How can i redeem my gift card from my email

    My friend sent me a gift card worth 1200 yen to my email add but  i have not received any gift card to be redeem but my friend received a confirmation that the gift card has been sent already....how can redeem it?

    You can't if you haven't received the email. You've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on the email account that your friend sent it to ? If it's not in spam then ask your friend to try resending it (and double-check the email address) : Resend iTunes Gifts - Apple Support
    If the resend doesn't arrive within a few hours of resending it then your friend could try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    Or he/she can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
