If I redeem an iTunes Gift Card to an Apple ID that does not have a credit card (or NONE is selected as payment option), can I gift an app to another account?
I can purchase apps on that account but it will not allow me to gift an app from an ipad or via the itunes store (on the computer). Do I need to have a credit card on the account to be able to do that?You can only gift via a credit card - you can only use your account's balance for buying content for yourself.

I wanted to get a book on iBooks, but I mistakenly redeemed it with iTunes. What should I do now?
An iTunes gift card is redeemed onto an iTunes account, so even though you may have redeemed it via the iTunes store its value should be on your account - so as long as you use the same account for buying ibooks then you should be able to use that balance. I redeem my cards via my computer's iTunes and can use it to buy from my computer's iTunes, the App Store and iTunes store apps on my iPad, ibookstore and the Mac App Store

I had iTunes money left on my account but when I made a purchase it charged my debit card
This sounds like a question for the iTunes store. You can contact them about account problems at:

Okay... I redeemed my itunes gift card, under my old ID. I had since updated my new email address, but didnt realize i redeemed it under the old ID. I tried to redeem it under my new ID, but i couldnt. Is there a way to switch my gift card amount to my current ID??
No, it's not currently possible to transfer a redeemed card to a different account, and you also won't be able to use it to gift content to the newer account (you can only gift via a credit card) - so the amount will remain linked to that old account

I redeemed my itunes gift card on my sisters ipad and I would like to get something for my dad but it says that the card has already been redeemed. Is there a way to unredeem or transfer the credits? Thank you!
No, once you redeem a card to your account, it is permanently there, until you spend the amount you have redeemed.

I have a problem with my ID i redeem my itune gift card at a different ID i cant used the money on a specific game what may i do?
You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money.. -

I'm trying to redeem my iTunes gift card, and every time I type in the code, it says the code hasn't been properly activated.
Are you able to take it back to the store that you bought it from and ask them to activate it properly ? If not then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : 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

I am not able to redeem my itunes gift card. It says that it has not properly been activated. I have had this card for over a year is it expired?
Ask the people at the store the gift card came from or the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

i'm trying to redeem my itunes gift card and i get the message "session timed out." does anyone know why i'm not able to redeem my card and why i get this message in stead?
I've been having the same issues too, and thought it was just my outdated computer or account?!
Every time I try to purchase a song, "session has timed out" shows up after I click "agree" to the terms!? I seem to be in the exact same scenario as 'SportsBarn' above: Itunes support have replied repeatedly with the same "solutions" but nothing has helped or even been applicable. I have an older laptop, 2005 Powerbook running OS X 10.4 Tiger so it's not compatible with the latest iTunes 10.5.2 which requires minimum OS X 10.5. I've been using the balance already in my iTunes account (from redeemed giftcards over the past few years) with no problem, until recently (my last successful purchase was October 2011). I wonder if it's the older OS or just a redemption glitch even with newer computers?
