HT3702 How long should I wait after I have bought an iTunes gift card to redeem it? I have tried redeeming it and it says it's invalid.

I bought a $15 iTunes giftcard at Maverik and tried activating about 20 minutes later, I thought that would be enough time, and it says its an invalid card code. Ive used $50 gift cards and they have worked prior to this. Help anyone tonight? I will go complain tommorrow if it doesn't work.

How long should I wait to download OS5?

After reading all the problems some of you are having I'm in no hurry to update my iPhone 4. This has to be a bug in iTunes, the iPhone or OS5. Or, it's a problem with the servers being overloaded by anxious iPhone owners. Since I can live without OS5 for now, although I would like to have the new features, how long should I wait before updating the OS. Days? Weeks? Months?
When I do update, will I have to download all of my apps again?

I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

If water drained out of your phone when you pulled it out of the toilet it is most likelyh dead. Stop trying to turn it on or plugging it in. You really need to put it in a bag of rice for 3-4 days and just leave it alone. It will take that long to get it totally dry to see if it is going to come back to life.
Good luck, but since you tried to turn it on, and plugged it in while it was probably still wet inside I would not count on it surviving.

Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up?

How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up? I tried the steps for a factory reset given on this site, but it still does not want to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello otter314!
Let's take a look into this to see if we can figure out what happened. When did this begin? What's the software version of the device? Do you remember what was happening with the device right before this started? Please supply me with some additional information, I'm happy to help with a resolution!

HT201303 How long a period of time do I have before an iTune gift card expires

How long a period of time do I have before an iTune gift card expires. I entered my code and it said it was closed.

Hi Skunnyss,
It can be disappointing to find the item you’ve got your heart set on isn’t available for purchase, so it’s exciting to hear you found your PS4 console through our eBay page!
Please know that according to our Best Buy store page (found here), PayPal is our exclusive payment partner on eBay. This means our gift cards cannot be used towards an eBay Best Buy purchase. Additionally, I’m unsure if the receipt provided at the time of purchase gives an itemized list of what is purchased. While I’d think it would, please let me know if this is not the case. I should be able to pull up your eBay order and provide you an itemized list if you end up purchasing the console with our eBay store.
I hope this helps,

Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase) I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

How can i check how much money i have on my iTunes gift card?

How can i check how much money i have on my iTunes gift card?

If the card has been redeemed then its remaining amount should be on your account, the card itself is now effectively zero. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to). If your account's balance is zero then it might not show at all.

Hey. I have received an iTunes gift card, so I was all excited, punching the code into the "redeem" option on iTunes on my iPad2; however, I kept on getting the alert, "This is not recognised as a valid code". It is very legible, though. How come?

The obvious answer I think is that maybe you are not entering the letters and numbers correctly. I almost never get it right the first time when I use a gift card.
Try entering the code again - slowly and methodically. If it still doesn't work - look here for help.

One final thought - if you are using a gift card that was purchased in another country - say like you have a Canada gift card and you live in the U.S. - that card will not work in the U.S. iTunes store.

I should have received an iTunes Gift card , but there is no sign of it ?

I should have received an iTunes Gift card , but there is no sign of it ?

The gift would be sent via email to the address you gave when you set up the gift. Have you checked that email account? If so and nothing has appeared, make sure there aren't any anti-spam filters in place that might be blocking emails from Apple. Then if you still don't see the email, try resending the gift:

i still have something like 15¢ From last year and it was by a gift card and because of that The iCloud won't let me to Put a new payment from Visa Account
Having a credit balance won't prevent you from entering in a new payment method. A balance remaining would be an issue only if you're trying to change the country of your iTunes Store account. If your payment method is being rejected, then either it's invalid - a debit card which are in many countries not accepted, or a credit card from another country - or there's something amiss with your account. In the latter instance, or if the gift still doesn't come through, contact the iTunes Store and request assistance.
Regards.

The people at the store the gift card came from didn't activate it. Ask them or the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

HT201328 My carrier did not tell me how long the recommended wait period was, so how long should I wait

I recently got my carrier to unlock my phone but when they told me that they submitted the information to Apple they did not tell me how long to wait before trying to reset it. how long should it take?

Wait until they notify you that the unlock process has completed.

How long should I wait for an invoice?

I made a Buy It Now Purchase that indicated there was free shipping. I went to pay for it but I couldn't. The seller had not indicated a shipping cost - I imagine it would be zero since they offered free shipping. I emailed them asking for an invoice so I can pay, but haven't heard anything from them. I'm thinking they forgot about it and went on holiday! Sent another email today. Got an email from Ebay telling me to pay, but there's no invoice. How long do I wait for the seller to send me one? Thanks.

The seller had not indicated a shipping cost - I imagine it would be zero since they offered free shipping. Well, no.If the seller does not indicate a shipping cost to Canada, it means he doesn't plan to ship to Canada.The Free Shipping is domestic only, although some Canadian sellers, listing here on dotCA, will give Free Shipping to Canada, and $0.00 shipping to the USA. Rarely will a US shipper offer the same deal to Canadian buyers.If your seller is in China, he might include the price of shipping in the asking price. (Which is what Free Shipping really means.) Since he has much the same cost for shipping anywhere in the world, he may offer Free Worldwide Shipping.However most Chinese shippers are quite sophisticated and hare set up to bill the customer automatically, precluding the need for communication, which runs into language barriers. To find the shipping cost, go back to the listing, open the Shipping and Handling tab and identify your Canadian postal code. That will give you your shipping cost. If there is no shipping cost to Canada, you have a different problem.The seller may continue to ignore you. This costs him the fees he pays to eBay.He may Report you as an Unwelcome Buyer. This gets the transaction cancelled and his fees back, but I believe it puts a black mark on your Buyer account. (Not an important one.)
