How to redeem or use a gift to buy an app?

I bought a $10 gift for my daughter to use on Itunes or the App store.  I was told that the money
should be available automatically when she tries to make a purchase.  She tried to buy an app,
but the gift doesn't seem to have been credited to her account.  The purchase requires a credit
card.  Why can't we see the gift or figure out how to redeem it and use for the purchase.

You still need a credit card on file, but will not be charged if there is sufficient iTunes credit to cover the purchase.

  • If I do not have a credit card binded to my Apple ID, will I still be able to redeem and use iTunes gift cards?

    How did you create 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 didn't use those instructions then you will need to enter card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them), or create a new account (and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it).

    How pinnacle can be used for streaming video for mac app?

    Hi naturalfemale,
    As mentioned in the referring article, closed captioning content has to be specifically added/enabled to a video for closed captioning to function:
    Additional Information
    Not all videos include caption or subtitle tracks. Check the documentation for the video you are using to see if it includes these features.

    At the moment, I do not believe there is an option for universal captioning.

    Hi gntn0058,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you are being asked to verify the credit card information on your iTunes Store account.
    If you would like to remove your Visa card from your account, you can do so using the steps found in this article:
    Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support
    If you want to re-add or keep your Visa card information on file, and you're being repeatedly asked to verify your card information, the troubleshooting steps in this article can be helpful:

  • HT2736 How to purchase music using a gift card from my iPod touch

    It doesn't let me purchase music and I'm using a gift card and using my iPod touch to purchase it

    Assuming you sync with iTunes then there will be a backup maintained by iTunes. Just sync the iPhone with iTunes to transfer everything from the backup to the phone.

  • How can my daughter use her gift cards without it charging my credit card first?

    With Family Sharing, how can gift card be used first before the owner is billed?
    My daughter has several gift cards, when she tried to make a purchase it would not allow her to input her gift card information. It automatically wants to bill me?

    Hi lindafromharvest,
    Your daughter and other members of your family group will want to enter any gift cards into their account before making purchases that they want to put on the gift card. To redeem the card see this article -
    Redeem iTunes Gift Cards and content codes
    Purchases made by accounts with gift balances will be billed before the family sharing credit card. See this article -
    How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    i bought an iTunes gift card but i don't want to buy any videos or songs i want to buy apps or games so i don't know how..... can anybody tell me how i do this with my Idevice not with my labtop

    When you redeem an iTunes gift card it is simply added as credit to the Apple ID of your choice. Once it is on the account as credit it can be used for anything you can purchase with your Apple ID (apps, music, movies, rentals... Anything ).

  • How to redeem an iTune email Gift Card (has no Code..just a "Redeem Now" button)

    I received an iTune Gift for a music album that was sent to my email. 
    When I open the email, I can see that iTunes Store sent it and i have a picture of the Album with a "Redeem Now" button that appears next to the album.
    Every time I hit the "Redeem Now", it always takes me to the same iTunes page where only offers to download the latest iTunes 10.  However, I already have iTunes 10 installed and I can't seem to be able to get directly to download the gift...am always back on the iTunes 10 Download page! 
    I also tried signing into my iTunes account first and then click on the "Redeem Now" within the email...but no success... back at the same iTunes 10 Download page! 
    Finally, i signed directly into my iTunes account and selected the "Redeem" quick link.  Unfortunately, this one insists on entering a Code to start the process.  My email from iTunes Store does not show any code information...just the "Redeem Now" button! 
    It seems that I am going in circle ..and not yet able to download the gift.
    Any thoughts ?

    How did u figure it out?
    Can u please let me know how to do it im having the same problem as u

  • Can I use the itune gift card to redeem credits in US appstore to buy in-app staff which is from appstore in other country?

    Why can't I use an iTunes gift card in Canada to purchase apps for my iTouch?
    Inquiries to the iTunes Store have yielded only the following explanation:
    "Due to tax laws and commerce restrictions for software in Canada, customers residing in Canada may only purchase games and applications using a credit card."
    What these "laws/restrictions" might be have never been identified.
    Can I somehow exchange the giftcards that I have for App gift cards?
    There are no "app gift cards". Again, you can only use a credit card to purchase software in the Canadian iTunes Store.
    Problem is I don't have a credit card to purchase the apps.
    Perhaps you could obtain one of the "prepaid" credit cards some banks offer. If not, then the only way you'll be able to buy apps is to get someone to allow you to use their credit card.

  • Does anyone know how I use a gift card for in-app purchases?

    I bout a gift card so that I wouldn't put purchases on my credit cards but, when I prepare to pay for the in-app purchase it only shows credit cards. Is there something I need to do to allow the gift card as payment?

    1) make sure it is an iTunes Gift Card, not an Apple Store gift card, they are not interchangeable.
    2) Follow these instructions
