How to redeem a U.S. $ App Store gift card on a Canadian PC

We spend 6 mos. in Canada and 6 mos. in the U.S. 
Purchased an HP PC in Canada and installed Itunes
Purchased an Ipad in U.S.
Received a U.S. dollar App Store gift card but when I attempted to redeem the card via my PC ITunes it was rejected because the PC
country is recognized as Canada.
Help!

You would have to be located inside the borders of the U.S and have a U.S. iTunes account with a credit card issued in the U.S, billed to a U.S. address in order to use a U.S card.
The same is true of each countries iTunes stores and gift cards

    Can I redeem one App Store gift card on more than one ipad?

    They need to be signed into the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID. iTunes gift cards are redeemed on a per-Apple ID basis and not on a per-device one.

    I have $25 from a gift card, and would like to buy some extra cash in a game I am playing. (If it needs to be specified: Dragons World for crystals) and will it show up on the phone bill?
    No. Purchases from the iTunes Store have nothing to do with your phone service and will not appear on the phone bill.

  • Why, when I redeem my App Store gift card it's still asking for my card number

    I had an App Store gift card and I redeemed it and it said the everything was fine. When I went to purchase my game, it said I had to put in my card number and my security question. I'm just really confused because the whole point that I got a App Store card was to not pay for games

    Ask the people at the store the gift card came from or the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • I cant redeem my app store gift card

    I got a app store gift card from the US and I live in Canada and it wont let me redeem it what can I do?

    You will need a US account to use it. I live in a different country than the one I live and I have to create a second account to have access to content from the 2 countries.

  • Can i use itunes or apple app store gift card to do in-app purchases as a substitute for credit card?

    I Heard that you can use the appstore gift card or itunes to do inapp purchases since they serve as credit points in the apple store
    i think it could be since amazon appstore has amazon coins that do the same:
    1. Buying Apps
    2. buying inapp contents
    3. (or any hardware or others) not sure about this..
    so i thought it must be true of what ive heard,
    please confirm and if true, teach me how..
    cause i dont have a credit card and its kinda too much to ask others to borrow from others..

    iTunes and App Store gift cards are basically the same thing, both are redeemed onto your iTunes account and can be used to buy from the iTunes store, app store, Mac app store on Mac computers and the iBookstore - the cards that you shouldn't buy are Apple Store gift cards, they cannot be used with an iTunes account.
    When you've redeemed it onto your account then your balance should show in both the iTunes and App Store apps on your iPad, and your computer's iTunes. On my iPad it shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id and at the bottom of the Music tab in the iTunes store app (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to). On my computer's iTunes it shows at the top left of the store's pages next to my id, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option.
    If you are trying to download a paid-for item and you don't currently have a balance or other payment method on your account then you will be taken to the payment details screen so that you can either redeem a gift card or enter one of the other payment methods.
    To redeem a card onto your account you can use the Redeem button at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app, or the Music tab in the iTunes store app, on your iPad. Or you can do it via your computer's iTunes, either via the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
    Or by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and selecting the payment details link on your account

  • I bought a $20 App Store Gift Card from Australia and i can't do in-app purchases because my apple id was created in Sri Lanka.

    This is what happened: I bought a $20 App store gift card so i can get some gems on my Clash of Clans Account, once i entered the code i went into Clash of Clans and tried purchasing $10 worth of gems. But it says to change into the Sri Lankan Store but when i went to enter the code it said to change the store to Australia. I tried doing it by creating a new Apple ID. Once i went to the billing information i didn't enter my credit card details but i entered my Gift Card Code, although it said it was invalid. I did see i had $20 Credit Balance in my Apple ID. PLS HELP! Reply as soon as possible.

    All iTunes gift cards are country-specific, so an Australian iTunes gift card can only be redeemed and used in Australia on an Australian iTunes account. And whilst you are in Australia you can only use the Australian store, the store's terms of use include having to be in a country.
    Also all apps (and only other content from the stores) are tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, so only the account that bought an app can do in-app purchases in it - so the new account that you've created won't be able to do in-app purchases in that game as you downloaded by a different account. If you haven't spent any of the gift card on the new account then you could update your old account to have your Australian billing address on it and try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will unredeem the card or transfer its amount to that account : 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

  • HT201209 Was given an App Store gift card (I don't have any devices for apps, just an iTunes/music gal) what to do?

    I was given an App Store gift card (I don't have any devices for apps; I'm just an iTunes/music gal) what to do?
    No gift receipt given with card; don’t feel right telling the person “thanks but this is wrong.” Especially since the nature of the thank you gift is from an emotional event for the gift giver.
    My assumption is that if I attempt to redeem the App Store gift card that iTunes will apply it to a separate "ledger" for apps only and I will NOT be able to purchase music with the gift money.
    I did not do what I did for this person with the thought of "oooh what I can I get in return?" I did it because I felt like it.

    Yep, exactly. When you go to buy any of the iTunes Store cards in the Apple Store, they say "All cards work on the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store. ". So it's just labeling, something which confuses a lot of people.
    Regards.

  • HT1918 I recently purchased an App store gift card but when I purchased a game it automatically charged my credit card on file without giving me the opportunity to use my gift card.  Can I take my CC number off and just just gift cards on file?

    I recently purchased an App Store gift card - how do I register it with iTunes and the App Store so my purchases will go to it instead of my credit card on file with Apple?
