How do you activate an iTunes gift card?

Trying to redeem an iTunes gift card.  Keep getting error nag that card is not activated.  How do I activate the gift card?

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

    How do you use an iTunes gift card on ipad2? If anyone could answer it would be greatly appreciated

    You just find an app you want to buy and buy it. The money should deduct from the card balance.
    If you're afraid of it going on your credit card delete your card. (I'm presuming that you can. I set up my iTunes before you had to have a credit card and all I use are gift cards)

  • How do you add an iTunes Gift Card & how is it charged?

    Hey all,
    I currently pay for my iTunes downloads direct from my Debit Card. If I add a gift card to my account will the cost of downloads come from that automatically or do I need to let iTunes know thats what I want?
    Also - how do you add the card? I'm probably being totally stupid but can't seem to find an "add credit here" option.
    Help appreciated

    If you redeem an iTunes gift card, the next purchases you make up to the value of the gift card will be made from it automatically. To add the card, click here; this link will open iTunes.

  • HT2731 How do you get an iTunes gift card

    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 you add an iTunes Gift Card so that all purchases of any members of a Family Sharing Group can use the credit?

    How can all family members of a Family Sharing Group use a gift card that has been been applied to the iTunes master account? I added a gift card to our master iTunes account for my grandson, and even though he's a family sharing group member, none of the purchases I have approved from his requests have used the gift card credit. A search of the iTunes support site failed to turn up anything that even remotely addresses this topic. It would seem reasonable to assume that any purchase made by any family member should be able to use the gift card credit since all purchases go through the master account, but this does not appear to be the case.

    Regarding your statement about the gift card balance being used if redeemed to the organizers account - http://www.apple.com/feedback.
    Regarding redeeming the gift card to the child's account, it is the same as redeeming to yours.  You have to be signed in to the iTunes store using the child's apple ID, then redeem the gift card there.  If you already redeemed the card on your ID, you won't be able to redeem it again.

  • How do you use an iTunes gift card without creating an account?

    Just gave an iTunes gift card to my parents, as they do not use their credit cards on the internet at all. But I've run into a problem... I can't seem to figure out how to purchase music with the gift card. Every time I try to purchase something it asks me to create a new account, and register a credit card to that account.
    I could have sworn there was a way to purchase music with a gift card, and no credit card at all. Is there something I am missing here?

    I've had a similar problem except at the other end of the age spectrum. I gave an iTunes card to my 11 year old daughter but she does not have a credit card or an Apple ID. We tried to create an account for her but when we get to the credit card screen there is no "None" option to select andI hesitate to put my card number onto her account and .
    Am I on the wrong screen or is there a different path to follow to get to the same result?

    Did you redeem the gift card first? You have to have something to set up an account gift card or credit card.

  • How do you use an iTunes gift card for in-app purchases?

    My kids received iTunes gift cards for christmas and want to use the $$ towards in-app purchases in Clash of Clans. We've already redeemed the cards to their iTunes accounts. Now they want to use them within the app.
    How do they do this? If they try to purchase something it seems to just go against a credit card, and not give them the option to use the iTunes credit.
    Please help!
    Thanks,

    I entered the code and applied to my apple account, so I assume I already have the credit.  When I tried to make an in-app purchase, it asked me for my password again. 
    How do I know if the in-app purchase is deducting from the redeem credits or from my credit cards.
    Also, is it possible to check the remaining balance of the iTunes gift card?  This is the 1st time I deal with apple gift card... Quite confusing...
    Please kindly advise.
    Thank you for your attention.
    Purchases are always deducted from the credits first.  Look at the menu bar at the top for remaining credit.  My credit is $23.59.

  • How do you redeem an itunes gift card.

    I ordered an itunes gift card on line from Apple for my granddaughter in California.
    She cannot seem to figure out how to redeem it. When she tries to use the number on the electronic email, it says the number is not valid. What to do? I tried to contact the Apple store with no success.

    She did not get a card. It was sent electronically. I first sent it to her email address, but she does not and cannot access itunes from her computer, so I resent it to my son's email address, but the itunes account on his computer is in her name. When he types in the number on the email, it says that it is invalid. There is no other number on it.
