How to use gift card for app store once redeemed? Tells me I can only use credit cards so how do I get to the gift card option

I'm trying to buy a game using a gift card but the only options that come up are ones for credit cards. It says redeem giftcard but I have already done this, so when I try this option again it says that this gift card as already been redeemed which is obvious as I did it earlier, so where is the buy game with gift card on the app store?!?!?!?!?!?!

The iTunes/Mac App Stores use the credit from a gift card first, but if the credit doesn't cover the full total the system asks for a credit card. The US store's prices don't include the local sales taxes, so if the system is asking for a card, then your total most likely is exceeding the amount of your gift card credit.

  • Can I use touch ID for App Store without using a passcode?

    It seems that the ony way I can use the touch ID for App Store and iTunes is if I have a passcode to get into my phone. I don't want a passcode, it get in and out of my phone too often to have to unlock it all the time and I hate manually typing in my password for App I buy. Why can't it do both, isn't the touch ID just as secure for purchases even if you don't have to unlock the phone to get to it??

    From the article:
    You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.
    So yes, that's how it's designed. You must have a passcode, though as long as you understand the caveats:
    In addition, you will need to enter your passcode to unlock your iPhone in these conditions:
    After restarting your iPhone 5s
    When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s
    To enter the Touch ID & Passcode setting
    and
    You can't use Touch ID for purchases if Require Password in Settings > General > Restrictions is set to Immediately.
    you should be able to use Touch ID without needing your passcode. If none of those circumstances is true and you're still being asked for your passcode to make a purchase from the iTunes Store, it would seem that something is amiss with your iPhone.

    Greetings chaimba216,
    After reviewing your post, I located an article that can help with resetting your iCloud password:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud password
    Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
    Important: If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
    Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
    After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
    On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
    On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
    In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
    If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • HT204053 can i use one apple id for apps store 2 devises and icloud every device own id

    Can i use one AppleID for apps store on 2 devises and for iCloud every device owne ID

    To clarify, we share an iPad (original iOS 5.1.1).
    When I use it, I would like to use my individual AppleID that I use for store purchases so I get MY iMessages on both my phone and the iPad.
    It seems to work when I use the iCloud Apple ID (meaning iMessages come through on both units) but when I try to set them both up using my store Apple ID, it doesn't work.
    Help?!?!

  • How can I change Apple ID for App Store?

    I changed my Apple ID, Itunes on my Itouch recognizes it, but the app store does not. How can I change AppleID for App Store? When I try to update my apps it asks for the password for my old Apple ID which does not exist anymore.

    Thank you for the reply. I've done that twice and have no problem getting into the ITunes store. Problem is that I have 12 apps that want to be updated. I go to App Store and slect to "update all" and first thing it does is bring up my old AppleID (no place to change it) and asks for the password for that Apple ID.
    I tried doing a sync to my computer in case that would work, but no help. I wonder if I will have to do a complete reset just to fix this???

  • How to get a refund for app store purchases after 90 days

    Is it possible to recieve a refund for App store purchases after 90 days have passed. In my case I purchased several apps by the same developer which cost around £10 in total, but due to a recent update they are now unusable and lead to frustration as they are impossible to use. The initial purchase was longer than 90 days ago, however the most recent update that has lead to the faulty item was probably within the last 90 days.
    many thanks.

    Click Contact Us at the bottom of this page and contact iTunes support and ask.
    In general, all sales are final.

  • How to change the account setting for App Store

    My last question wasn't so clear, so I would like to post again. I want to know how to change the account setting for App Store. I have changed in the Settings but it doesn't reflect in App Store.
    Thanks,

    once you sign out just click sign in and put the new email address in the "Username" field and your correct password then click OK
    it will look like it is doing nothing but give it time and it will sign you in with the new username.
    is it possible you have multiple itunes accounts?
    when you changed your itunes account from your me.com to your gmail.com address did you change it within the itunes Edit Account Info ('Store' menu then select 'View My Account', then sign in , select edit account info) or did you just create another itunes account?
    be well

  • How do I get into the App Store for my mac mini ?

    How do I get into the App Store for my mac mini ?
    To get Apps FOR my mac mini NOT iPhone or iPad.

    BT ...
    Your profile shows you are running LIon v10.7 so you should be able to launch the App Store from your Apple menu > App Store, or from your Dock, or your Applications folder.
    If you can't locate the App Store, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.

    Make sure you are using the correct account if you have more than one.
    Purchase history won't say who actually logged in because of course it will be a person using your ID and password.
