I recently purchased tunes with iTunes gift card. I still have $ left on my card and now I'm asked to verify my account. Why is this necessary?

Because iTunes simply wants you to verify your name & address is correct in your account info.

You need the Apple ID and password from the previous owner who set the Activation Lock. Where did you get this phone?

Purchase ipod with iTunes gift card

is it possible to purchase iPods or accessories with itunes gift cards? Thanks.

No, terms of use for gift cards clearly state that they can only be used for the purchase of content from the store, such as movies, music, games, etc.

Hi there Laura,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone is in recovery mode and you’re concerned about restoring it to factory settings because you don’t want to lose any data. The first article linked below provides a lot of great information about restoring an iOS devices to factory settings, including how to restore from any backups that you may have created with iTunes.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
Also, if you want more information about recovery mode, take a look at the article linked below.

How to I contact Apple about a support issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot access my game center account that I had previously. It created a new one for me with my new apple ID instead of keeping the old one.

I want to submit an issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I had an account set up that I used to play online games. I changed my appleID and then I no longer could access my game center account. I, apparently, had a new game center account created for me (which is friends with my old account) and now I cannot access my original game center account.
If I can't get access to email apple directly (which seems ridiculously difficult to do), then someone please tell me how to FIX the issue.
Thank you

Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

Purchasing Update with iTunes gift card

Just to be sure, I go in the iTunes store (in iTunes), enter my code and when I will buy the update, it will take 20$ off my card ?
Thank you

You lucked out for sure, I got charged tax. It might be the difference in your state, some require sales tax and some don't. The general rule of thumb for Internet sales is that if the retailer does NOT have a store located in your state, they do not have to charge state sales tax. If the retailer does have a store in your state, they do have to charge the tax. However, some retailers charge the tax regardless.

Why am I forced to be connected to internet in order to listen to purchased music with iTunes on iPad? I have wifi only iPad.

I tried listening to my music with my wi-fi only ipad on iTunes while driving my car. iTunes said I needed to be connected to the Internet in order to find the iTunes store. I don't want the iTunes store, I just want to listen to my music on iPad. Can I bypass the need to be connected and just get to the music? If not..... WHY NOT????

You don't need the internet to listen to your music. You're probably trying to access the iTunes store app, you need to go to the iPod app, and that is where your music will be if you have synced it over from your computer or purchased it directly.

You will only be able to use one account at a time with the Apple TV. This will mean that you can only rent or purchase content from one account, you would need to log out and into the other account in order to rent or purchase from that.
You should however, be able to use content from both accounts in iTunes on your computer, provided that the content from the account that you are not logged into is authorised to be played on that computer. Consequently you should be able to AirPlay content from both accounts to the Apple TV from iTunes or play content from both accounts via the computer section on the Apple TV.

HT1918 I recently purchased an App store gift card but when I purchased a game it automatically charged my credit card on file without giving me the opportunity to use my gift card. Can I take my CC number off and just just gift cards on file?

Purchasing Games Using Itunes Gift Card

Everytime I try to purchase Sonic, it asks to use credit card, when i have $10.33 on my account.

Sure, just google "old itunes versions", but I don't think that will help.
They changed things on the Apple servers around the time v7.7. was released. So even with an older iTunes version, I doubt you'll be able to purchase games with a gift card.
In case I wasn't clear, I was just trying to point out it is a recent change...I've bought games with a gift card in the past, too.

Not able to sign up for iTunes Match with iTunes Gift Card

Last night I purchased $30.00 worth of iTunes Gift cards , redeemed the cards against my iTunes account and attempted to sign up for the iTunes Match ($24.99 per year) only to find out that I must provide a credit card on file before they will allow me to sign up. I never imaged that Apple would require a credit card on file. One of the reasons that I chose Apple products was the ability to purchase with iTunes Gift cards to reduce my risk of fraud when the account become compromised .
Also I have Apple IDs for each of my children and they receive iTunes Gift cards as presents that they purchase Apps, Music etc that they want. That way when they grow up and leave home they have their own Apple accounts to take with them. Apple should want life long Apple customers!!   Just to let you know 14 year olds don’t normally have credit cards and I would never put my Credit Card info attached to their account. So if they own a Laptop, iPhone and iPad they are discriminated from using your iTunes Match because they don’t have a credit card? Really????
Apple to just let you know that I have a Microsoft XBOX Live membership that I purchase a Live gift card once a year to renew my subscription. I can’t believe that Microsoft can figure out how to provide customers a better user experience that Apple.
Please fix this quickly as I would like to use your iTunes Match and other iCloud services that you plan on releasing later this year however I will not be using my credit card so I may have to look for other device options.   If you need any help figuring out how to meet your business requirements please let me know as I would be glad to provide suggestions.
Thank you,
The Next Steve Jobs
PS If any one over there knows a way around this please let me know.

I've been through the same ordeal. I wanted to renew my iTunes Match service, had over $100 credit in the iTunes Store, but wasn't able to use that credit to pay for the renewal. Apple requires you have a valid, working credit card on file to renew for some reason. But once you put in a credit card, the charge is actually taken from your store credit, not the credit card. So, it's very odd and doesn't make any sense to me, either. But there's no way around it without a credit card, that's what Apple Support told me when I contacted them about this same issue.

I purchased a 15$ iTunes gift card and redeemed it but then I accidentally reset my iPad, how do I get my 15$ iTunes gift card back

I purchased a 15$ iTunes gift card and redeemed it but never used it and then I accidentally reset my iPad 2 and now when I enter the gift card numbers it says it has already been redeemed! Can anyone please help me out with this

The credit should be on your account.
You shoudl not have to re-enter anything.
It should stay on your account where you can access it from any computer/device with itunes.
Just sign into your account.
