I just bought an iphone and created an apple id. When I entered my credit card number, I also put in the number of the itunes card that i bought. Now, when I go to buy music from the itunes store, it says my card has already been redeemed. What can I do?

I havent used it to buy anything yet... and i dont wanna waste my money. Can anyone help??

Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

I have "redemption" code, but get error saying it has already been redeemed. Can you please advise how I go about getting my software reinstalled? If I was given the serial number when I redeemed, I don't have any record of it.

  • My Apple ID is only limited to Indonesia iTunes Store. I would like to buy some music from iTunes USA Store. How could I use my Indonesia-based credit card in order for me to buy music from another iTunes store? The iTunes Indonesia store is very limited.

    I bought iPhone 4s device from the owner and the previous owner is not present and the device has already been erased, how can I use this device using my Apple ID and iCloud

    Hello adilx
    The only way to get passed that and to use that iPhone is to ask the previous owner to remove it from icloud.com in the Find my iPhone section.
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
    Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device is erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
    Regards,

  • Buy music from U.K. store?

    Ok, I just tried to buy music from the U.K. iTunes and it told me that I was only authorized to purchase music from the U.S. store.
    Can I buy music from other nation's stores or am I only allowed to buy from my home country's store?

    The issue of cross store purchasing comes up frequently so I'll just quote one of the most complete explanations (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
    In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store you must be able to show some form of residency which would be either:
    a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
    b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
    .......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

  • I just got my mac, and created a apple id. but when i tried to download iphoto, it said it was already used by a nother id! what should i do

    i just got my mac, and created a apple id, but when i tried to accept iphoto from the app store, it said: these app cannot be accepted by your apple id. it was already asigned to another id's purchases list. if you don't have accsess to that apple ID and want to receive future updates you will need to purchase.
    but i shoulndt have to buy iphoto, should i? what should i do????

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

  • How can I verify credit of an itunes card that has already been redeemed?  My Grandson and I both redeemed itune cards on our shared account about the same time. There isn't a credit balance after his purchase?

    How can I verify credit for an itunes card that has already been redeemed?  My Grandson and I both redeemed itune cards on our shared account about the same time. There isn't a credit balance after his purchase?

    Have you checked the account's purchase history to see if anything could have used up the balance : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support ?
    If there aren't any purchases then try logging out and back into the account (e.g. on your iPad tap on your id in Settings > Stores and then log back in) and see if a balance then shows on it. My account's balance shows at the top right of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, by clicking on my name towards the top right of the iTunes screen, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iPad 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 > Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)

  • HT201209 Is there anyway to transfer the credits to another device? 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. Thank you!

    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.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

  • Hi I have downloaded compressor4 from Apps store but it won't open - says compressor not properly installed. The reason for my purchase was that compressor 3 stopped working. I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'.

    Hi I have downloaded compressor4 from Apps store but it won't open - says compressor not properly installed. The reason for my purchase was that compressor 3 stopped working. I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'. I followed suggestions from the apple site to clear various library files - mainly relating to Qmaster but this didn't make any difference, an iwonder igf perhaps this is the reason for the compressor 4 programme not working. Thanks

    You need to export a self-contained video from FCP 6. Import the self-contain video into Compressor 4.

  • How do you transfer playlists from on computer to a new one, library has already been transfered

    how do you transfer playlists from on computer to a new one, library has already been transfered

    - Why not just copy the iTunes computer folder to the new computer?
    - You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can transfer non-iTunes purchased music by using one of the third-party programs discussed in ths previous discussion:
    Best iPod to PC
    - Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file from your old computer to the new one and restore from backup, you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod and thus loose all app date. The iPod backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • HT201209 I have tried to redeem a gift card but I get the message "the gift certificate or card you have entered has already been redeemed". I haven't redeemed it, please help.

    Hi.
    I recently bought a £15 ituens gift card for my partner. Since she is not too savvy with itunes, I went on to her account to redeem it for her. I scratched off the panel and entered the code into the correct box on itunes and was told "the gift certificate or card you have entered has already been redeemed".
    I took the card back to Morrisons Supermarket in Guiseley where I had bought it and was told that since Morrisons only sell gift cards on behalf of iTunes and receive a commission, that they could do nothing and I had to take the problem up with iTunes.
    Well, dealing with iTunes is no easy thing. I finally found what I thought was the right area on the website and was directed to send an email. I did this, but the chap I got through to seemed to think I had a problem with my iTunes software or that I didn't know how to redeem the card. I tried my best - over several emails - to get through to him that the problem was with the gift card code and that they may have been hacked. It would be very easy for them to find out that a) I wasn't the one who had redeemed the code and b) who the culprit was due to the fact they would know whose iTunes account the code had been credited to. I got nowhere, the chap sent me a link to "account security" and told me to phone them even though it was not possible to get a phone number from the link he sent me.
    So, I got back in touch with Morrisons customer complaints and basicaaly told them that as far as I was concerned they were selling faulty goods on behalf of another company and that they should at least try and help me out with iTunes. I have since received an email from Morrisons asking for all the details of the card so they can look into it. iTunes - meanwhile - have stopped replying to my emails and I am now being completely ignored by them.
    Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know where I stand and how I can either get my money back or get the funds put on to my partners iTunes account?
    Many thanks
    Damian

    Not likely you'll get a "history" but Apple should be able to resolve the problem.
