I just bought a App Store gift card,but it tells me I have to redeem this card at a store upfront. What do I have to do?..

I just bought a iTunes gift card, but as I put in the code of the card it tells me I have to use this card at a store up store. I don't know what to do?..

Is your iTunes Store account set up in the US iTunes Store? If not, you cannot use that card. It's dependent on where your account is set up, not where you physically happen to be at the moment. You must have an account in the US iTunes Store to use a US-sold iTunes card.
If your account is in the US iTunes Store, check the settings to make sure you're actually connected to the US store. For iTunes on a computer, scroll down to the bottom of the iTunes Store window and look at the round "flag" icon. For an iOS device, go to:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
Regards.

  • I just bought the 20g iCloud storage yesterday but I thought it was to bump the total upto 25g! I wonder what happen to the 5 free for?

    I just bought the 20g iCloud storage yesterday but I thought it was to bump the total upto 25g! I wonder what happen to the 5 free for?

    The new plans are based on total storage so the 5GB is no longer an addition.  Presumably the price reflects the fact that you get 5GB free.

  • I have just bought a App Store gift card and I redeemed it. When I was going to buy an app that cost money a notification popped up that said I need to answer my security questions. I made my account a long time ago and have forgotten the answers

    I forgot the answers to my security questions so I sent the email to my rescue email to reset the questions. I got the email and pressed Verify Now and it redirected me to the apple site where I would put in my Apple ID and password. I put it in correctly as I have checked that I'm using the right ID and password. I have even reset my password just in case I had put in my old one wrong. everytime it still says I have an invalid adress (which it is obviously not) and I don't know what to do. I don't want to waste the money I just put into my account.

    It sounds like a cred hold was placed on your account for the free apps.  See:
    iTunes Store: About credit-card authorization holds
    I would wait until you get the email receipt(s) for your purchases.  If yu were charge more than you think then:

  • I just bought a 25 dollar gift card but i cant download music can some one help me?

    I can't purchase anything or update my address.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • My girlfriend just bought me an unlocked iphone 4s but how can i activate it without my card?

    My girlfriend just bought me an unlocked iphone 4s but at the moment I have a standard size sim card and we are in the caribbean. She has a micro sim in her iphone 4. can i activate my phone with her card then change to my card (different carrier) when i get back to our home country (from caribbean)? also ofcause not affecting her phone or sim.
    Basicly I wanna play around with the new phone and siri and stuff before I go back home
    Merry christmas all btw!

    There are SIM cutter's/punches that will cut a full size sim into a micro sim.
    Then you can use the old part of the large sim as a holder/adapter of the newly made micro sim
    as a full size sim.

    Maybe you can find someone or local shop to do it for you

    Untill the movie studios agree to allow past downloads of movies outside of the US, you aill always have to have a copy of purchased movies on your computer. If not, you will have to buy them again if you delete them.

  • I just bought an app, $ 29.99, I installed it, but apparently only free version is installed. Apps asking me to buy the full version for 39.99, I cant find the way to communicate with app store. Help me please

    I just bought an App, $29.99. I got the free version apparently. Every time i try to use it message  says buy the full version for 39.99. What i am suppose to do now????

    Excuse me moinpara, but I know how you feel and I have been there many of times. It is not Itunes fault that your purchase inquiry was proposed to you as invalid, rather much more sort of than rather it being. If this happened to me, I would research that App, try to find out what went wrong. Heh, if you or I were to ask myself I could either tell you that you are putting yourself in a hole! Woah, but now this seems to me like something that would be simple to just contact an iPhone or apple associate and tell them why this happened to you, especially right after Christmas, or whatever religious holiday you choose to follow
    If I were to be in your shoes I would of spent the money in the itunes store on something else! But that is just me.

  • Hi my case numbers is 30758085. I just try download apps store on my Verizon iPhone 4 but they keep ask me billling payment so I use my credit card but keep said wrong security codes so I check my apple itune balances said I owe itune 22.00 dollars

    Hi my case numbers is 30758085. I just try download apps store on my Verizon iPhone 4 but they keep ask me billling payment so I use my credit card but keep said wrong security codes so I check my apple itune balances said I owe itune 22.00 dollars but it not my apps download on my phone I always get free apps Download 

    Please don't post case numbers or other personal information here. None of us here (who will respond, anyway) work for Apple; we're all just fellow users.
    Anyway, as regards the security code issue, this may help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646
    and as regards the balance, first make sure you didn't make any in-app purchases. Many "free" apps, particularly games, have additional levels or features that cost money. Check your purchase history in your iTunes Store account and see what you're being charged for.
    Regards.

  • App/itunes gift card from another country

    Hi
    For Christmas I was given an app/itunes gift card by a friend, the card was purchased in italy. Now I have just tried to enter the code and guess what? it tells me i cannot redeem it cos my store is Uk not Italy. If i try to change it to Italy it tells me I have to register with an italian bank account and address. How is this possible that i cant use an apple card on the apple store??? is there anyway to change this??? i have to say this is truly ridiculous...
    any suggestions are welcome...

    OK you have 2 options lets say for example you live in the UK and the iTunes card is from the USA.
    option 1) go to eBay and sell the card to someone in the USA.
    option 2) use the itunes card.
    if option 2 you will need to use the following steps
    1) Move to the USA <------- This is just so you are following Apples rules ;-)
    2) you will need a USA iTunes account, now that you live there so make a new Apple ID. To do this go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US and the 1st thing you are going to want to do is go to the bottom of the page and make sure that next to "Choose Your Country or Regin" you have the US flag (or what ever flag matches the place you just moved to to use the card) if it doesnt then click on it and change it. Put in all info to setup the account, (if for some reason you cant remember the address of the place you just moved into then use google maps). if you dont get an option to make an iCloud email address then you can make a Gmail account and use that as your new Apple ID.
    3) you have now moved and made a new iTunes account you can now use your gift card. You will have access to the content in your new country and it will be at their prices.
    4) if you want content from both accounts, I assume you already have content purchased from your old account then login to your iTunes/iPhone/iPad with 1 account and download what you own then logout and login with your second account.
    enjoy and good luck getting your green card, hopefully the place the iTunes card came form is nice ;-)

  • Bought a $25 itunes gift card from 7-11 and it was invalid, cashier was too busy on the phone with a personal friend and didn't give me a receipt, please help!

    I bought a $25 iTunes gift card from the 7-11 in Windsor Locks, CT earlier this afternoon around 6:45 P.M, and when I tried to activate it, the code was invalid, and when I called the 7-11 to let them know what happened, the foreign man that answered the phone started yelling at me when I told him the cashier was the too busy on the phone with a friend to give me a receipt for my purchases. Considering that my card didn't work and the guy yelled at me when I was trying to make him aware of the situation, it made me wonder how many other people has that convenience store scammed into buying invalid gift cards? If they are scamming people, is there a way for me to report the store to Apple for using the company to gain fraudulent dollars? Is there a way I can get my money back?

  • Transfer Lion (I bought on App Store) to a newer Mac Mini (July 2011)?

    I just purchased a new "July 2011 Mac Mini" on ebay. Can I transfer the Lion (I bought on App Store) off of my older Mac Mini to the new Mini? I purchased Lion the day it came out from the App Store and had it downloaded on my 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mini.  I'd like to not have to pay for Lion again. Thank you for your input.

    had it downloaded on my 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mini.
    You don't have to re purchase Lion.
    Just re download to the other Mac using the same Apple ID.
