I have redeemed points on my account but, when I try to buy a song I tunes doesnt use them it tries to access the credit card associated with the account for payment. How do I tell this thing to use the points instead. duh
By 'redeemed points' I assume that you mean that you've redeemed an iTunes gift card onto your account (?). If you do then are you trying to buy songs for yourself or are you trying to gift them - you can only gift items from a credit card, an account's balance can't be used for gifting. If you are buying for yourseflt and you are being asked to enter/verify a credit card number then are you currently in the country where your iTunes account is based ?

I have money in my itunes account but when I try to buy a song it doesn't let me buy it or download. It doesn't do anything!
You cannot and need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if the article doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
Changing the rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I can't change my location because of the credit card associated with the account and my phone number please help
Gift cards are country specific.
They can only be used inside the borders of the country of issue. -
I have entered a gift card on my apple id. The credit shows but when I try to buy a song itunes wants to used my previous credit card information to complete the purchase? When I click on redeem it asks for the gift card # again??
It will automatically be charged against your balance. You need to nothing.
Confirm you payment info as this is how itunes verifies your account. -
I have put 25 pound on my iTunes account but when I try to buy something it goes to my visa account and says billing error payment declined but I have 25pound in my I tunes account why can't I use the money in my I tunes account ?
If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account. -
It shows that I have $25 on my itunes account but when I try to purchase a song it asks for my billing information. I want to use the gift card not pay for it from my credit card. Help!
Get on a computer with iTunes. Click on your email in the iTunes Store, and hit account. Change billing info to None as card type, make sure billing address is correct, and hit done. It will then save, and allow you to make your purchases.

i have £20.00 in my account but when i try to buy a album it it wants to charge my debit card
Are sure that it is not simply asking you to verify your payment info? This is how itunes verifies your account.

I recently purchased a song on iTunes, with around five dollars on my iTunes store credit. After making the purchase money was taken from both my store credit and my credit card associated with the account. Why? The incident is extremely annoying and I am dissapointed with Apple's services. With Apple being a fortune 500 company, why would it resort to ripping off a customer.
If you were instructed to call them, then that's what you should do. They will probably need to verify your identity before helping you with the security question.

I have $15.11 in my itunes account, but when i try to purchase songs it asks me if I want to buy it and i say yes then it sends me to a credit card form. How can i fix it so that i could buy it with the $15 that i already have?
Sales taxes are based on your location as purchaser. I'm sure you can find the sales tax rate in your area.

I have a balance of $42 on my iTunes credit card balance. I'm trying to buy songs but instead of deducting from my balance it goes to my old Paypal account.. I don't use it anymore to buy songs but I can't find any help to let me use my iTunes balance. Where can I get some help??
Some Apps require a Credit Card for Purchase.

I have changed my Apple ID when I got a new email address and confirmed it. However when I go to my iPad to buy an app my old Apple ID comes up and will not recognize the password. I tried going into the settings on my iPad and tapping on the old Apple ID to go in to change it but it will not recognize it and I cannot get in on the iPad to change it. How do I change this ID on my iPad for the iTunes store?
JaylsworthHow did you fix this??

Hello A.Hawley,
It sounds like you are being prompted to authorize your computer in order to download your iTunes purchases. This article will help you do that:
