can I buy a iTunes gift card online, and redeem it right away?

If you're referring to the iTunes Store, you can buy gift certificates. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2736
If you're referring to the Apple Store for purchasing Macs, iPods, etc, to the best of my knowledge they offer only the physical cards.
By the way, this forum is for questions about the Communities themselves. You'll normally be more likely to get a quick and helpful answer if you post in the  forum dedicated for the product you're asking about.

    Can i buy itunes gift card online from ireland, which can be redeemed in the USA. I do not have a US credit card or billing address (just an Irish one)

    You might be able to buy the gift cards from Best Buy. They sell iTunes cards and will accept international credit cards. See:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/International-Orders/pcmcat204400050019. c?id=pcmcat204400050019
    They say that you can't order iTunes "codes", but I don't know if that applies to the physical cards. But you can try it.

  • Where can u buy iTunes gift card in Dubai

    Where can u buy iTunes gift card in Dubai because I need to buy ASAP

    Dear Friend,
    Mr. Ramzy's question was already answered months ago. Unless he was physically in the US, in which case buying a US iTunes card would not have been a problem, he would not be allowed to use the US iTunes Store. And he posted back in June of last year.
    Again, the sites you refer to and probably are running sell cards that people in the UAE cannot use without violating Apple's license agreement. If you are selling such cards, you are encouraging people to violate Apple's terms of use, not something very wise to advertise in Apple's own forums.
    Regards.

    Hi Fsalicrup,
    You should be able to use up to eight Apple Store Gift Cards during checkout on the Apple Online Store.

    Apple Store Gift Card
    You can redeem an Apple Store Gift Card at the online Apple Store, by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE, or at any Apple Store. Apple Store Gift Cards can be used only in the United States. With the exception of gift cards, certificates, and iTunes downloads, you can purchase just about anything sold by Apple, including products from both Apple and third-party makers.
    You can use up to eight Apple Store Gift Cards at the Apple Online Store or if placing an order over the phone at 1-800-MY-APPLE. You can combine your Apple Store Gift Card(s) with one credit card to pay for your purchase. Simply enter or provide the PIN. On the plastic gift cards, the PIN you need to use can be found on the back under the scratch off area. On the electronic Apple Store Gift Cards, the PIN can be found on the email below the image of the card. Please keep the card in your possession until the order has been processed and delivered.
    Note: Apple Store Gift Cards are different and distinct from iTunes Gift Cards.
    Cheers,

  • Im based in qatar. can i buy a macbook pro online and have it shipped to a relative in california?

    im based in qatar. can i buy a macbook pro online and have it shipped to a relative in california?

    I apologize if this is "sticking my nose in where it does not belong", but ...
    At least one other poster received a "gift" of an 11 in Macbook Air from a grandmother, but really wanted a 13 in Pro.  The question was if the computer could be swapped for the better unit.
    I assume the recipient will not be so inapproptiate as to say "wrong computer -- I want a better one!!!", but the recipient may have certain items on their "Wish List".

  • HT201209 Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use?

    Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use? I have a brother that lives in Vietnam and I want to buy him a gift card that he can use there.  I've read the iTunes gift cards are country specific.

    What you have read is correct; gift cards are country specific. So only if iTunes cards are issued in Vietnam, and if they are if you can find a retailer there that sells such cards and would accept an out-of-country credit card, would you be able to purchase a gift card for your brother. The same would apply to any other country.
    Regards.

  • HT201209 Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks?

    Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks?  How?

    Yes, I've used them to buy from the ibookstore, app store, iTunes and the Mac App Store. They can be used in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (or via your computer's iTunes) in the same way as you use your account's balance to buy music or apps - so you first need to redeem a gift card so that it gets added to your account, and you can then buy things from the stores with it.

  • HT201209 Can u use your gift card to download APS

    Can you use an apple gift card to purchase apps such as books and games

    Let's clarify what gift card you're referring to. You can use an iTunes gift card to purchase anything in the iTunes Store other than other gifts. If you are referring to an Apple Store gift card, that cannot be used directly in the iTunes Store, though you could use the Apple Store gift card to purchase iTunes gift cards.

  • I have an Iphone 5C and I'm going to Brazil next month.Can i buy a Sim card there and use my phone?

    I have an Iphone 5C and i'm going to Brazil next month.
    Can I buy a Sim card and use my phone? Is it easy to change the card?
    Any ideia how much will cost? Can I still use my phone to face time with
    my family here if I change the Sim card? Thanks

    If you're talking about "regular" icloud, then setting it up should have no effect on your music.  Try syncing the device to iTunes and check the music settings and sync again.
    If you subscribe to iTunes Match, is the device in wifi range?

  • Can you buy iTunes gift cards / vouchers for the Singapore iTunes store?

    I'm trying to figure out how to go about purchasing apps for other people. Can we do the above in Singapore?
    Thanks for your advice.

    Most in-app purchases can be made with a gift credit balance, yes. I've paid for a number of app upgrades with a gift balance. The only ones I've run across that can't are automatically-renewing subscriptions, some of which require a credit card on file.

  • I just recently bought my friend's iMac 10,1 21.5in with all of his documents in it He lost his installer disks and it has OS X Snow Leopard. How can I restore it to factory settings? Or can I buy OS X Lion online and restore it to factory settings?

    ?

    Sooner or later, you will need to have those install disks, so you or your friend need to call Apple, give them the serial number of the machine and ask for replacement disks which should be sent out for a nominal fee. Other than that, you could also buy Snow Leopard retail disk at various resellers or Apple store online for $29.
    You will need that disk because: if you want to update to Lion and you purchase it at the app store, the license for it is not transferable, so if you ever sell that Mac, you are required to uninstall Lion and reinstall the original system (which you will need the disks for). The disks also include diagnostic/repair software.
    So, it's best to have the disks; and, if you do purchase and install Lion, make sure you make a complete backup - bootable clone or Time Machine just in case.

  • *** Can I order the iPhone from Canada and use it right away as just a PDA?

    I'd really like to order an iPhone today (I'm in Canada) from the US Apple store. I know there is the whole unlocking problem (ugh) up here, but I'm wondering if I could buy it and use it for wi-fi internet/email/ical, etc and not as a phone without having to have it unlocked.
    Is it possible to use it as more of a PDA instead of a full-on phone until I wait for it to become serviceable in Canada?

    Without "unlocking" the phone you must activate it to use it for ANYTHING.
    If you have no intention of using it as a phone, get a Touch.

  • Can't redeem Apple Store Gift Card online

    I have an APPLE STORE GIFT CARD, NOT an iTunes or App Store gift card, but there is no category for the Apple Store, so I figured I would ask here.
    According to the instructions on this website, I'm supposed to be able to redeem my card online by checking out my cart and selecting the "Gift Card" option, but when I checkout, there appears to be no such option. Does this mean I can't redeem my gift card online and have to use it at an actual store?

    What country are you in? Is the gift card for that same country?
    Normally it appears here.
