HT201209 How do i use the Itunes credit to purchase a movie?

My daughter got a gift card for her birthday with 15.00 on it. I have entered it into the redemtion area and see the credit on the account. How do I purchase a movie for her with this credit? I go to purchase the movie and it keeps trying to bill my account.
Thanks.

Hi there, wasted a full bank holiday day off trying to suss out this problem and got it eventually, well not a full day, but I was very frustrated at the end of it all. So here it goes.....Sign In to iTunes Store, click 'account', then click 'edit' for 'Billing Information'. You already have your credit card details entered, so click 'none' in choice of 'Payment Method' and all your Payment Card details will be erased, click 'done' on the bottom right hand corner of window. Now you will return to your Account Information page and 'no credit card on file' can be seen where originally you could see the last 4 digits of your credit card. Click on 'home' or 'films' and continue with a purchase using the 'iTunes Gift Card' credit on your account.

    Just to confirm, you are logged into the iTunes Store using the account in which the balance exists, and the balance is showing at the top of the iTunes Store window? And you're not trying to purchase gifts for someone else?

  • HT201272 I downloaded an album but one of the songs is corrupted, it only plays for about 4 seconds. When I try to re-download using the iTunes Store and "Purchased", it won't give me the option to download it again. How can I get the song I PAID for!!??

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting 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

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,

    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.

  • HT202631 How can I use my iTunes credit when part of Family Sharing?

    I'm part of my Family Sharing with my family, but now can't use my iTunes credit that's on my account to make purchases. How do I change that?

    Hi harifromshakopee,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want to know how purchases are billed. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    How iTunes Store purchases are billed - Apple Support
    How are Family Sharing purchases billed?
    When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • HT1689 how do i use an iTunes credit for a purchase of an app. I purchased the app but my store credit balance is the same as before the purchase. it looks like credit was not used?

    How do i use itunes credits when making a purchase of an app?

    When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
    My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
    As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

  • I bought an iPad in the USA and registered it in Sweden  now back in USA and I can't use an iTunes card on my iPad because it not registered in USA . Does anyone know how I can use the iTunes card ?

    I need help using an iTunes card on my iPad purchased when I was in the USA and registered it at home in Sweden.  Now I am back in USA and the iPad says iTunes card won't work on a foreign iPad. Is there a way to use this iTunes card?
    Thanks

    What store are you trying to purchase in? If its a U.S. card - you have to use it in the U.S. store.
    Go to Settings>General>International>Region Format>United States. Then go to Settings>Store>Tap your Apple ID. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to country/region and make sure that you are in the U.S. store in there.

    Laker Fan,
    It should be doing it that way.  See below for the official Apple description.  If it is not working as stated, contact iTunes Customer Service.
    Family purchases and payments
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card.
