First, make sure that you are following the correct procedure for redeeming a gift card:

If you are sure you have followed the procedure correctly and iTunes shows the correct credit balance next to your Apple ID when you are connected to the iTunes Store, post back with exactly what is happening when you try to purchase and we'll go from there.

I have $8.05 balance on my gift card. I tried to buy an app more expensive than that so i had to add my credit card to the apple account. But I couldn't use the balance from the gift card anymore. How can I select to use it? or did I lose it?

The MAS should use any credits first and then apply the remainder to a listed bank card.

My itunes won't allow me to use the money from a gift card

I recieved a gift card, I redeemed it and purchased a few songs as usual. However, when I went back to use it a few days later itunes kept trying to bill my card instead of using money from the gift card.

There's nothing wrong. Apple does not allow gift purchases using a gift card. In order to get an item in iTunes, you have to use your credit card or debit card. I know this is not what you're looking for but I hope I answered your question.

No, all apps are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account will be able to make in-app purchases within them - you would need to delete the game (which would also delete your progress/settings in it) and buy/download it with your account to be able to make in-app purchases with your own account.

I want to use my credit for a gift

I'm using the italian store (I think all stores work the same, but who knows?)
I've bought an iTunes card and I have a 50 € credit.
Now I'd like to give a song to a friend of mine as a gift, and I'd like to use my credit instead of using a credit card. Is it possible? Actually in my account settings credit card is set to "none" and iTunes asks me to insert a regular number. Why?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but you cannot use a credit from a gift or prepaid card to purchase additional gifts. I don't know why it's not allowed, but it's not. To purchase a gift for someone else you'll have to enter a credit card.
Regards.
