HT1541 My mistake regarding an itunes gift - can it be rectified?

Yesterday I bought an itunes gift for my son in Saudi. As he hadn't received it I looked again at my order and realised I had typed the wrong email address - homail instead of hotmail. Is there anything I can do to get it sent to the correct email address - or have I lost it?
Thanks

Hello, Julie. 
Thank you for the question.  As the device is registered to the Apple ID, you would simply need to make sure the name is correct on https://appleid.apple.com/.  If the name of the device itself is incorrect and you wish to change it, see the article below.

  • HT1541 If i buy a itunes gift card on line - where does it go to ?

    If i buy an itunes gift card online - where does it go to?

    It depends on what precisely you mean. If you buy a gift card from the Apple Store (the one that sells hardware) or another such retailer, it's a physical card that will be shipped to you. If you buy a gift through the iTunes Store, it comes in the form of a redemption code in an email. Arrival can take anywhere from minutes to a day or so.

  • Security concern regarding my iTunes gift card

    I have never used a iTune gift card, so my question may be silly. This is a little bit complicated situation: I have a gift card of a few hundreds, and it was accidentally exposed online.
    As you know, at the back of card, there are 16 digits code, which is used to redeem gift card manually. But fortunately, only partial of label has been scratched, so whoever saw the photo, they don't know the whole 16 digit code.
    Now here is the question: there are other numbers (such as a long series number under the scan bar), there are also numbers at the left-buttom corner and right-button corner. Can people steal my iTunes gift card without the whole 16 digit codes? Can they use other sets of numbers to redeem the gift card online?
    You may ask me to redeem the card to my account immediately, but that is not what I want. I don't have any apple product, and this gift will be given to a friend in a few weeks when he visits me. I just don't want to be embarrassed to give friend a gift card of $0.
    So let me repeat my question again: Can people steal my gift card without the whole 16 digit codes? But they do have a picture of other sets of numbers.
    Thank you very much!
    Here is a sample of gift card (google it online, not my gift card):

  • Question regards the itunes gift card

    I want to buy an iTunes gift card with cash but I don;t know which retailer can let me make a purchase to the gift card. Please give me some recommendations, Thank you.

    That's under Apple's control and not the retailer's. Buy the cards from Apple or from a large enough supermarket or general store.

    I purchased a $15 itunes gift card from Kroger and when I entered the code it said it was not valid.  Am I out of luck or can anyone help?

    If this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes support (you will need to give them the serial number and activation code from the card) : 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

  • HT201783 how to send a iTunes gift to another country

    I need to send a gift to a relative in Australia and can not work out how to do it.

    You can't, iTunes gifts can only be sent to people in the same country as yourself (and whose account is in that country). You might be able to find store that sells Australian gift cards and you could send one of them instead.

  • HT1541 I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I purchase an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

    I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I buy an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

    Sorry, but it's quite possible that you can't. If there's an Apple Store in the country to which you want to give the gift, you can call them ask ask if they'll accept a Canadian credit card for a gift card purchase to be shipped to an address in the relative's country. If they won't, then you'd have to find an independent reseller in that country that carries iTunes gift cards who could accept your credit card, and there may be none.

  • 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.

  • HT201209 how can I buy an iTunes gift certificate for someone living in Colombia?

    How do I buy an iTunes gift certificate from US iTunes for someone who lives in Colombia?  The fine print on the gift certificate page says it can only be redeemed in a US iTunes store.
    Is this true? And if so is there a work around?

    OK, I see what point you were trying to make previously. You are talking about the misspelling of the name. That was SO not clear in your post. As you can tell, both roamminggnome and I missed your intent.
    If you want to educate people on the common misspelling of the country Colombia, then state your case clearly. You will get a lot further that way. Being condescending about the mistake is not productive, and you won't achieve your goal that way.
    That having been said, it seems a bit pointless to bring up a two year old post that has a spelling error in it and then post to it only to call out that error.
    This is not an English course - it is a technical user to user forum. We have to put up with egregious spelling errors daily on this site. It is not the place to start a campaign on the proper spelling of the country Colombia. You might want to try to direct that considerable indignation somewhere where it will actually make a difference.
    Sorry for the misspelling in my post of the country. I can promise you, I won't make that mistake again.

  • HT2105 I have an itunes gift card, then found out that I can not use it with my KOBO Ereader.  I was wondering if I could let someone else in my family use the balance of my gift card?  They have an IPad and they often use Itune Gift Cards to purchase mov

    I was given an itunes gift card, then found out that my KOBO Ereader will not accept the itunes gift card.  I now have this gift card with a balance on it and would like to give it to my brother (he has an IPAD and uses Itune gift cards all the time).  If he was to use my gift card (with my password) would the movie or book that he purchase show up on his devise or would it show up on mine.  Thanks for all the help

    I'm not sure what you mean. Did you redeem the gift card to your iTunes Store account? If not, just give your brother the gift card and he can redeem it in his own iTunes Store account. If you did redeem the card, then there's no way to transfer the balance from your iTunes Store account to his. He'd have to use your iTunes Store account to make the purchases and sync to his devices.

  • HT201209 If I'm not in U.S, how can i use the iTunes Gift Card?

    Hi,
    Please help me! Last time my iTunes Store Account was registered in Singapore, So, all of my informations, billing address are affecting with SG iTunes Store.
    But now I am at another country, not in SG, That country don't have any credit card systems, so they just only used the iTunes Gift Cards, registering as U.S. When I brought that cards and redeem in my account that showed me "Your iTunes Store (Singapore) does not match that of the gift certificate (United States)" like this. So, how can i do to redeem in my acount, Can anybody give me advises? I tried to change my informations and billing information (with U.S address) at my iTunes account but it showed me "Please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction". So, please give me some ways to buy the softwares and others in iTunes with gift cards.
    Warmest Regards,
    Daniel.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, you can only use the gift card in the location it was purchased and with the iTunes store in that location.
