How to use your credit to buy music

Hello Everyone,
this is more than the answer to a question I had and unsuccessfully finding answers that did not resolve my problem. I made a couple of comments one some of those answers basically complaining as how poor Apple Support was by leaving customers fend by themselves after they charge so much for their products.
Anyway, this note is to provide with the answer to the problem I had. I don't know if it will solve anyone else's but here you go...
I had a $100 gift card that I had redeemed sometimeback and never used. Today, it occurred to me that I wanted to buy some music for the 2014 year end festivities, so I searched for the music library and lo and behold, I found an album I wanted to purchase. At first, and forgive me if this sounds ridiculously uncomplicated to the Apple literate, I am really not an Apple person (iPhone, iMAC, and the sort included) but I have fair knowledge of computing systems so I thought I could figure the purchase process myself without much hassle. My account showed that I had $100 so that's when I thought I still had that money available. I picked the album and the problem came at the time for payment. I selected none but for funny reason, I didn't realize that I had to select twice for some sort of message to show up just below that I would redeem points. I didn't want to mess with that as I wanted to start the download now but if you want to use your credit instead of a credit card or any other payment there, just click None and I guess you have to make sure the notice appears just below that showing that you will in fact use your points. I just made sure my information was there and proceeded to redeem. It worked.
This would've been a lot less painful if someone, via a Live chat support could've helped me and saved me precious time I wasted.
Anyway, bottom line is, if you have credit to redeem, you do not need to enter credit card information
Thanks and happy iTuning, LOL

  • Some1 used my credit to buy 3 songs

    Some one used my credit to buy 3 songs. In total 3 dollars,
    Not about the money but,  it's the security of it.
    Neither of my apple account bought any thing,
    Must be some 1 used my credit card. Can u find out who did that?

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    How do you know that it was three songs that were bought, are songs $1 in your country ?
    You haven't changed the credit card details (or address) on your account three times ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge (i.e. $1) may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
    Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    If not, and nothing shows on the purchase history on your account(s), then you should contact your card issuer. You can also contact 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

  • Received an email supposedly from Apple that my Apple ID was used in Russia to buy music. Is this real?

    I received an email supposedly from Apple from "Notice" that my Apple ID was used in Russia to buy music. Is this real? There was a link to click labeled AppleID. I didn't click it, but the message said I needed to change my Apple ID immediately.

    What does the email look like - emails from Apple tend to be personalised (not 'dear customer' or 'hello') and the have proper English in them (if you hover your mouse pointer over the link do you see what URK it would take you to ? ; it might show at the bottom of the screen).
    It's likely to be a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details - you could forward it to Apple : [email protected]
    Just to be sure check your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store

  • Anyone know if you can use your credit amount on your iTunes card to pay for yearly iCloud more backup storage?

    Anyone know if you can use your credit amount on your iTunes card to pay for yearly iCloud more backup storage?

    Thank you. I will try it... I'm trying Not to use my credit/debit card online.. I have both iTunes credit & App Store card credit on my iTunes I hope this works! I don't want my storage down graded before I can get another iTunes card.. I wish they had an extension date for few days.. (More personal note - single mom,y child is sick & so not going to store in the next few days to purchase iTunes card..)
      Why wouldn't they allow App Store credit to be used since its used to buy apps & songs via iTunes.. Seems kinda misrepresenting to be an apple card that connects all these apps & devices together, but you can only utilize iTunes card credit or credit/debit card for iCloud...!!??

  • How To Use Your Own Router with Out Loosing Verizon's FIOS Services

    How to use your own router with Verizon’s FIOS Service
    First, you need a basic understanding of how FIOS works but unfortunately there are two types of FIOS systems out there. All of the systems utilize a fiber optic cable to bring TV, phone and internet to your location over one optic cable. In addition these systems provide interactivity including widgets, remote DVR, movies on demand and so forth via an IP (Internet Protocol) signal.  Your STB (Set Tip Box) requires both a video and IP signal. The IP signal is necessary for all of the aforementioned interactivity.  The fiber cable terminates at the Optical Network Terminal or ONT for short.  The ONT converts the optics into a digital signal that can be utilized by ones equipment.  From the ONT your video, phone and internet are provided to the location.  This is where things can differ as the internet signal can be provided via a coaxial (MoCA or Multimedia over Coax Alliance) or RJ45 Cat5 (Ethernet) cable.  It is important to identify and understand the differences of these two setups.  In my case I have my internet entering via Ethernet cable, which in my humble opinion makes things a heck of a lot easier.
    How does one tell the difference? In most cases it’s rather simple; just look at the Verizon’s router WAN (Wide Area Network) Port.  Does it have a RJ45 (Ethernet) or Coax (TV cable Cord) going to it? If the router’s WAN port doesn’t have a coaxial connector then one will need to convert the MoCA signal into a usable Ethernet signal that routers understand. The easiest way is to use Verizon’s router as a bridge. In this method the Verizon’s router simply converts the signal and passes it along to your own router. The challenge is to try to maintain the interactivity that FIOS TV provides. Because of this one needs to supply the IP routed signal back to the FIOS router.  There are multiple methods for doing this and I would recommend investigates which one make the most sense.   
    In my particular case the IP signal was provided by Ethernet.  Again there are various ways of installing one’s own router. The hardest is to utilize Verizon’s router as a bridge.  This setup requires configuring Verizon’s router as a bridge and also creating a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks). In addition one needs to set up their own router so it will work with the various routing tables and networks. For me this is too complex for the average person and it can be difficult to trouble shoot if something goes wrong. Please consider that Verizon will not support utilizing third party routers.   
    The easier method is to request an Ethernet signal (if you don’t already have one) from their ONT.  I would highly recommend getting your hands on a NIM or Network Interface Module. This device is used to convert Ethernet to Coaxial so it can be fed back to your STBs.  These can be purchased online and Verizon technicians can be a valuable resource with these sorts of acquisition.  At the very least they can point you to the right direction.  Once you have a NIM the rest is rather simple.
    Log into the current Verizon Router.
    Located the router’s MAC address and copy it down.
    Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules. 
    Example:  
    Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
    Application & Ports Forward:  Application UDP Any -> 6347  
    Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.
    Look at your current device list, typically found on the home screen. Copy down your STB MAC and IP address.
    Example:
    IP-STB1
    Connection Type: Ethernet
    * IP Address: 192.168.1.100
    IP Address Allocation: DHCP
    *MAC Address:                07:73:fFe:ad:8b:3f
    * Things you will need to write down
    Go to the network section and look for the main Ethernet connection.  Select this and then select more setting, typically found at the bottom. Release the current lease.
    Remove the Verizon router
    Install your router
    Connect the NIM by plugging in an Ethernet from one of the routers LAN (Local Area Network) ports to your NIM. Then connect the coax cable, the same cable that was used by Verizon router.
    Set you DHCP routing IP pool to accommodate Verizon’s STB IP’s  (note their IP’s start at 192.168.1.100)
    Go to DHCP section and reserve the STB IP’s by inserting the IP’s and MAC addresses. This shall ensure that nothing else utilizes the same IPs as the STBs thereby preventing IP address conflict.  
    Add the port forwards from Step 5 above.
    Clone Verizon’s Mac Address utilizing the info from step 2
    Finish setting up the router in typical fashion.
    Unplug and re-plugin your STB’s and test functionality.  It’s best to try using a widget or Movie on demand function.
    Note: if the new router can net get an internet signal contact Verizon’s support and have them release the IP and reset the ONT.  
    EVERYTHING should be working at this point.

     3 Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules. 
    Example:  
    Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
    Application & Ports Forward:  Application UDP Any -> 6347  
    Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.G
    Your display obviously is not like mine as mine does not dosplay the port associated with the ip address
    whatever, the STB's start at 192.168.1.100 and icement by 1 for each
    the port addr's will be 63145 alo incrementing by 1
    there is 1 entry for each in my pf list
    however each ip addr also has a port entry starting at 35000 also incrementing by 1 for each ip addr
    For some unknow reason these are duplicated e.g I appear to have 11 entries exaactly the same for each stb and as the fios services rules have no action switc there is nowhere to delete the extraneous garbage.
    Why do you clone the mac addr??

  • I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (to be played by iTunes). Bit didn't fixe the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, please help!

    I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (it is played perfectly on the other PC (Windows 7- pc) by the newly downloaded and installed iTunes, version 10.6.1.7). But I didn’t fix the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use (or import) your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, short: how to migrate the meta data from one pc to an other pc?
    It's a pity that it seems not to be possible to import on the new pc e.g. the ratings!!!
    I don't want to start again with rating my (beautiful classical) music!
