I just redeemed an itunes card how do I know what my balance is for my account

If you are on your computer's iTunes and you are signed into your account then it should show at the top of the iTunes store pages next to your account id - or you can log into your account via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and it should show on the top section of the screen that you are taken to.
On an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch it should show on, for example, the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app or the Music tab in the iTunes app next to your id.

I have just redeemed an iTunes card, but my balance does not change

I have just redeemed an iTunes card, but my balance does not change to $15.00, but instead changes to $00.01 cant figure it out, did i waste money????

And you didn't owe iTunes anything or have pre-orders ? If you can't find where the money went then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My daughter has redeemed her iTunes card. It shows her $25.00 balance, yet it will not deduct her iBook purchase from this balance. It is still trying to access our card.

My daughter has REDEEMED her iTunes card. It shows the $25 balance. Yet, when she tries to purchase an iBook it continues to try to access our card. Why is it no deducting her purchase from the balance of her card?

If the purchase exceeds the gift card, the card is still processed and only the remainder is sent to the credit card.
That is what I was alluding to and I assumed that iTunes would send a warning to that effect. Its been so long since I used anything but a gift card I wasn't sure what the protocol was anymore.

There's no list available from your end; you need to go to each you think might be and check.

How do you know what HDD to get for MacBook?

Hi,
I've read loads of posts but am really a average Mac user and don't know much about memory/hard drives or any hardware to be honest.
I have a MacBook which I bought in January 2009. It's a 13 inch aluminium one so I think that makes it the late 2008 model as that's all I can find when I'm searching. I bought the 160GB model which I think was a 2 ram.
I now have about 95GB free but software takes ages to load sometimes the icon bounces for a while, software also freezes or lags too.
Does this mean if I get a bigger hard drive these problems will go? I've had it just nearly 3 years and really don't want to buy another one as they're expensive. I took it in to apple and they did a complete refresh or something so it was like new but still after I put all my work back on the memory went down again and problems came back.
I have no idea how to change the hard drive although I can see it when I open the battery cover.
Could anyone help me pick one I just want the most storage I found this link but am confused on which one to pick or if they're any good: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=1657&catid=1660&subid=1667
Do I then have to get RAM too? How do I know it will work and not ruin my laptop?
Don't I have to put the OS back on? I bought the upgrade through the app store as It came with leopard and I got the disk update for snow leopard so which disk do I use?
Also where does my work go, should I move it all onto a USB first then move it to the new one?
I'm sorry I just really can't deal with it slowing down as I have a lot of things open as I'm doing my dissertation, but also don't want to risk losing all my files at this stage as it's my last year at university and don't want to lose any work or files/ software like word etc.
I do use time machine has I bought an external to try get rid of the problem but when I connect the external one in using USB my mac starts to slow down and freeze up anyway.
Sorry if this is a lot and if it's already been asked but I'm just so confused, I asked the apple store if they can do it but they said they can't and to look online and google around.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If that's not a typo and you really do have 95GB free on your 160GB hard disk, it is unlikely that a larger hard drive will noticeably speed up your system. If it was a typo, and you have only 95MB free, then yes, you are extremely short of hard disk space, and a larger hard drive would absolutely help.
Here's a step by step video that shows the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcMtKfDIKHY
You need a small phillips screwdriver and a Torx T6 to accomplish the task. Since your old drive still works, you should probably purchase an external USB enclosure for it, and use it to transfer data from your old drive to your new drive before installation. Then you'll have the old drive as an additional external drive for backup or 'testing' OS upgrades. I use mine to download and install the latest OS X upgrades before installing them on my 'working' machine.
Apple MacBook internal hard drives are usually 5400 rpm. A 7200 rpm drive will give you a slight performance boost, without significantly reducing battery life or increasing noise or heat. Recent floods in Thailand have shut down major hard disk manufacturers and have significantly increased hard drive prices, so if you still have 95GB free, you should wait until prices stabilize in a few months. If you DO need to purchase a drive, a 500GB model is likely to meet your storage needs for a long time. Internal Macbook hard drives need to be 2.5" SATA, and a maximum of 9.5mm in height. From the vendor you linked to, these drives are listed:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=1657&catid=1660&subid=1667
I haven't tried hybrid or SSD drives, so I won't comment on either of them.
A RAM memory upgrade would be my first recommendation.
Snow Leopard runs quite well on 4GB RAM. Your MacBook unibody (the aluminum one) can use 2GB, or 4GB, RAM modules, up to a total of 8GB. Details here: http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-macbooks-use-8gb.
It is likely that you currently have two 1GB RAM modules inserted, so purchasing a set of two 2GB modules or two 4GB modules is the best solution. If you intend to upgrade to OS X Lion 10.7 eventually, I'd purchase the 2x4GB=8GB RAM upgrade now, rather than just 4GB. I've purchased several hard disk and RAM upgrades for family Macs from OtherWorldComputing, www.macsales.com. I'm not sure that www.macsales.com sells in the UK.
Macs are finicky about RAM, and you should be certain before purchase that your Apple reseller GUARANTEES it will work reliably or let you return it and get a refund. Even 'name brand' RAM that seemingly meets all the specs is not always reliable.
I'll also mention my experience with the performance of Snow Leopard. I'm still using Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.7 for performance reasons.
I have a mid-2007 MacBook with 4GB (3GB RAM is the maximum usable on my particular system) RAM and a 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive.
When I updated to 10.6.8 on my 'temporary' drive, I found that Safari browsing was significantly slower with LOTS of beachballs, and overall system performance seemed noticeably slower, so after a week (given time for indexes to update and so on) or so I reinstalled from the Snow Leopard CD (10.6.3) and downloaded the Combo Update to 10.6.7, instead of automatically updating all the way to 10.6.8.
Hope that helps!
Finally, I'm shocked that an Apple Store would not be more helpful!

It always charges the gift card first.

How do I know what battery I need for my MacBook Pro?

Hello, Is there a way to find out what model the battery is that I need for my MacBook Pro without tearing it apart? I have the serial number and also the Hardware UUID, whatever that is. If I have to tear it apart I will, but I'm hoping to keep that to a minimum as I'm afraid to tempt fate!

skink - thanks for the kind words.
Depending on your model (check under the Apple menu, "About This Mac", "More Info...", "System Report..." and tell me your Model Identifier. Mine, for instance, says (under Hardware Overview):
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
Depending on your model, a 'good' number of cycles might be as low as 300 or as high as 1,000. But if the condition is "normal," as you say (and as mine reads) you really shouldn't have anything to worry about.
If it's a battery that needs to be replaced by an Apple tech, it's 'built-in,' meaning you can't just turn it over and change the battery (such was the case with my 2006 1,1 model and some models after that).
It's always good to keep an eye on battery health and to use some methods of keeping your CPU load at a minimum when using battery power. Viewing movies, whether in the DVD player or those that are on your computer, will really tax your CPU and result in lower battery life. To maximize your battery life, try to have as few apps open as possible when under battery power - particularly those that drain your CPU. You can keep and eye on this by keeping Activity Monitor, in your Utilities folder, open at all times. If you see a process that's taking 10+% of your CPU load, that's an app you should close or at least keep an eye on - my Firefox browser will sometime get in the 13% range, but I don't worry about that.
Battery use is, for me, primarily about Internet browsing and email. I keep open Firefox, Outlook, Activity Monitor, Word, Acrobat, Word, TextEdit, and a few other small apps and I generally get 7+ hours on battery time.
I would also suggest using two little utilities to keep an eye on battery usage - one is "Battery Health" available at the App Store free. The other is gfxCardStatus which will let you use discrete graphics, changing your GPU to the less intensive processor. It's available at http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus and is "Mountain Lion ready" as of it's latest release.
Good luck - see how many more hours you can eke out of that battery before thinking about having it replaced. As much as I use mine, I know that I'm going to go over the 1,000 cycle mark before my AppleCare expires, so I know that I'm going to have to get it replaced. But for now, I'm getting the advertised hours and am quite happy.
Regards,
Clinton

How do I know what Jdeveloper is using for a CLASSPATH?

yeah yeah yeah I know do
c:> echo $CLASSPATH
... or ... or look at
control panel > system > environment
Those tricks still don't tell me what
JDeveloper thinks it is using for
a classpath ... I am new to NT and
these IDE things so any help would
be nice.
Thanks

The easiest way is to compile and run inside the IDE (it is an
integrated environment after all). You can do this with the
Build, Make and Run menu items on the context menu of a java
file or project.
If for some reason, you need to compile on the command line, you
will indeed need to set the classpath environment variable
manually or pass it in as an argument to javac or java. You
could copy it from the JDeveloper output window (after compiling
inside the IDE) and paste it into a command prompt.
Was there some other specific way you'd like the IDE to
integrate with the windows command prompt?

HT204053 How do I know what password I have for iCloud?

Hi,
Somehow I happen to have I cloud on my phone, maybe I got it with a new version of the OS. Pictures on my phone "disappear" to iCloud.
But I never created any iCloud account, my phone wants to use the apple id but iCloud does not accept the password of my apple id!
What to do?

Redeemed an itunes card, when i go to purchase a song it keeps asking me for my credit card. Do I need to have a credit card on my account before it will let me use the balance in my account?

I have just redeemed an iTunes card and I show a balance beside my name in iTunes store. When I click on the song it keeps asking me for my credit card instead of using the balance in my account.

Having just redeemed some itunes gift cards my account is showing a £40 balance. How can I purchase albums

I have just redeemed some itunes vouchers and my account now shows a balance of £40. how can I purhase albums using this balance on my imac? Please help!

Pursuant to Apple's policy, any purchase is reduced first by any remaining balance on gift cards then to the credit card. It cannot be changed. So don't worry, it will always apply to the gift card first, even if you want it to apply to your credit card you can't.

ITunes: I just redeemed a gift card in iTunes and then rented a movie. I want it charged to the gift card but think that it was charged to my credit card. How do I ensure the charges are against the gift card?

iTunes: I just redeemed a gift card in iTunes and then rented a movie. I want it charged to the gift card but think that it was charged to my credit card. How do I ensure the charges are against the gift card?

I took this straight from the help menu.
You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
Hide
Use an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or iTunes Gift Card
If you aren’t already signed in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In at the top of the iTunes Store window.
Below Quick Links, click Redeem, and follow the onscreen instructions.
The amount in your account appears to the left of your account name. When you click the Buy button to make purchases, the amount changes to show how much money remains in your account.
You can use a gift certificate only in the iTunes Store for the same country in which the certificate was purchased.
