How can I use an iTunes credit (from a gift card which has been entered) for a book burchase?

I have entered a $25 gift card and would like to use it for a book purchase. When I ordered a book it was charged to my credit card not the iTunes credit.

How can I use itunes store credit with Apple TV without the credit card code?

I would like to allow guests in my home to use the credit in my iTunes account to purchase movies and TV shows on the Apple TV in my guest room.
Unfortunately, it seems that in order to make a purchase they will need my credit card security code. If they have this, then they could purchase an arbitrary number of movies, but I would like to limit purchases to the credit in the account.
Is there any solution here? How can I give my guests an Apple TV "allowance" (not a monthly allowance, a one-time allowance) and not give them my credit card security code?

You can't really do this with an already existing AppleID from what I know. Now, if you don't have an AppleID, here's the run-down of how to do it:

You will also need to pay sales taxes for your area.

I have store credit in iTunes but want to buy an app for my mac from the App Store. How can i use the store credit?

So i redeemed an Apple gift card worth £70 to my itunes account but i want to use it in the App Store to pay towards Logic Pro X. I can't find a way to transfer the credit, or find any evidence that its spendable in the app store.
Has anyone had the same problem?

When you purchase iTunes content, the balance from your gift card will be deducted automatically.
You can check the balance of a redeemed card here > Account Home - Apple Store

Can I Use iTunes Store without Storing Bank Accounts, etc, in my Profile?

Hi
Today a fraudulent charge of $89.99 appeared on my iTunes account. This suggests that a hacker has obtained my password, and hence access to all information in my iTunes account, including credit card or Paypal account information. I can deal with having to claim refunds for fraudulent iTunes purchases, but I cannot afford to risk ID Theft, or to have my back account information in the possession of hackers.
(1) Is it possible to maintain an iTunes account that does not store bank accounts, and ideally stores no personal information other than my email address?
(2) If I can do this, I assume I'd then have to enter that information for each purchase. Will this information be expunged once the ourchase is complete? Or would it remain on the system in some form, accessible to hackers?
(3) If (1) is not possible, how do I cancel my iTunes account? There does not seem to be such an option on the iTunes Account Management screens.
Thanks,
Chris

You can remove your credit card from your account. Go into the account, click "Edit payment information" and you will see the option under credit card to click "None."
For purchasing, you can either enter the card info per transaction, or you can start using iTunes gift cards which are readily available.

Why can't I use my iTunes gift card to purchase an app?

I received a $15 itunes gift card for my birthday and I redeemed the card on iTunes. The $15 is in my account but I can't use it to purchase an app for my mac at the app store. I heard other people had problems with the itunes and app store connections too. However, my friend had purchased an app with the itunes redeemed credit. Am I stuck being able to use it only for itunes purchases? Any answers?

This is incorrect.
A. ITUNES STORE, MAC APP STORE, APP STORE, AND IBOOKSTORE TERMS OF SALE
PAYMENTS, TAXES, AND REFUND POLICY
The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances. If a credit card or your PayPal account is being used for a transaction, Apple may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing occurs at the time of or shortly after your transaction. If you are using 1-Click purchasing or your PayPal account, your order may be authorized and billed in increments during one purchasing session, so it may appear as multiple orders on your statement. If an iTunes Card, iTunes Store Gift Certificate, or Allowance Account is used for a transaction, the amount is deducted at the time of your transaction. When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

Is it possible to use an iTunes gift card to purchase in app items such as gems in knights and dragons?

I'm curious if it possible to use iTunes gift cards to purchase in application items such as gems on knights and dragons and if so how?

Hello Rhicks636,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide an answer to your question:
App Store Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2001
Accepted payment types
Shopping the App Store requires an iTunes Store account. When you create an iTunes Store account, you must provide a payment method for your purchase. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use credit cards, gift cards, store credit, or PayPal.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells applications, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices are listed in either US Dollars or Euros.
With the above information kept in mind, if you have a gift card balance on your Account, the purchased content (in this case, and in-app purchase) will be debited from the balance.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have $15.00 credit from a gift card the prompt ask for credit card info-then gift card number when I enter it will not let me in to purchase videos?

need help I cannot redeem the credit on my gift card to get music?

First, make sure that you are following the correct procedure for redeeming a gift card:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
If you are sure you have followed the procedure correctly and iTunes shows the correct credit balance next to your Apple ID when you are connected to the iTunes Store, post back with exactly what is happening when you try to purchase and we'll go from there.

I purchased an app for a friend in Canada (I am in France) and she cannot use the code I sent her... is there a solution ?

I tried to offer an app for a friend who has an iPad and leaves in Canada (I am in France) but she cannot use the received code... is there a way around this ? can I get a refund ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Adrien.

You cannot purchase and gift apps from one Apple Store to another. Gift certificates bought from the French app store can only be redeemed in the French app store by someone with a French app store qualifying account. To qualify for an account in a particular country or regional store you must have a bank card for the same country as the store with a local billing adress in the same country as the store.
You cannot buy a gift certificate in the French store and redeem it in the Canadian store.

Can I use iTunes Store from Romania?

Hello, I'm from Romania, I tried to buy some games for my iPod but it says that I must live in U.S.A., it's no other way to buy games/music/movies from iTunes Store for my iPod?
Thanks!

Sorry but no, there probably isn't. This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
b) a mailing address for your residence in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
This, again, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.
