  • I tried to use my visa gift card to purchase something and I am now aware that it does not have any money in it to purchase anything. Now when I try to update an app it will direct me to the incorrect billing page instead. I cannot update any applications

    Hello. I have tried to use my visa gift card to purchase something from apple. However, the security code is not present, which I am aware of. When I typed in the correct security code, I discovered that there was not enough money in the card to complete the purchase anyway. Now, whenever I attempt to update my applications on my iPhone 3Gs, I am directed to the billing information from the previous purchase that did not work. How do I cancel the purchase and continue to update my applications?

    This happens for some apps. If you have a computer try to buy on it. Otherwise you will have to enter a credit card or some from of billing.

    Unfortunately iTunes cards can only be used with the iTunes store, so the simple answer is no.

  • HT201209 Can you use an iTunes gift card to purchase something actually in an app? (Like buy coins in the app and use your gift card)

    Can you use an iTunes gift card to purchase things actually in an app? (Buy "coins" using the gift card?)

    No idea, but it seems like you should be able to. You can give it a try, but will have to figure out some way around the automatic 1-click ordering that the App Store now does by default.
    It certainly seems like something deserving of a feedback form submission, though ...

  • HT5552 How can I use an iTunes gift card to buy tv shows on my iPod touch?

    Or do I need to buy the tv shows on a computer, with an iTunes gift card?
    Is it possible to buy the shows on my iPod touch?
    Thank you.

    If you've redeemed the card into your account then you should be able to buy items where you use that account - so your iPod or computer's iTunes
    Redeeming a card : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
    TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries (and even where they can be there is no guarantee that they will remain in a country's store for future redownloading) so it may be easier to do it on your computer's iTunes and then sync them (and so that you can take a backup)

  • Why Can't I use an Apple Gift card to buy an ipad!?!

    So, I received an apple gift card for graduation from college. It was $500 and I wanted to use to buy an iPad.
    The person at the apple store said I was not allowed to use a gift card to pay for more than %50 of an iPad.
    My question is...WHY? They got their money when someone purchased the gift card, what does it matter?
    I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, or knows why this is apple's policy. It just doesn't seem to make sense to me.

    That is a very, very big assumption.
    Apple could simply check the gift card and see if the purchase of that card was valid. They would have to Do that anyway to verify the amount on it anyway.
    Not wanting to pony up the cash could be a sign of naughtiness.
    I have a gift card and want to use it so that is a sign of naughtiness?
    If i got a gift card and could not use it, I would be beyond ticked off! It' s valid or it isn't.
    Nothing here -> says anything about a limitation as the op describes.

  • Why can't I use my ITunes gift card to buy gems on clash of clans

    Why can't I buy gems on clash of clans with my iTunes gift card that I recently bought

    This is incorrect.
    A. ITUNES STORE, MAC APP STORE, APP STORE, AND IBOOKSTORE TERMS OF SALE
    PAYMENTS, TAXES, AND REFUND POLICY
    The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances. If a credit card or your PayPal account is being used for a transaction, Apple may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing occurs at the time of or shortly after your transaction. If you are using 1-Click purchasing or your PayPal account, your order may be authorized and billed in increments during one purchasing session, so it may appear as multiple orders on your statement. If an iTunes Card, iTunes Store Gift Certificate, or Allowance Account is used for a transaction, the amount is deducted at the time of your transaction. When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

  • Can I use an iTunes gift card to buy more storage for iCloud?

    I have a few gift cards and I feel as though there has to be a way you can buy more iCloud storage with those gift cards

  • Why am I not allowed to use my prepaid gift cards to buy OS X Mountain Lion?

    I am having problems installing the new software, it just sends me to the billing page. Is it because I live in Canada?

    So I type in my password and it directs me to this page
    And it only allows me to pay only by credit card and not giftcard....what should I do?

  • HT201209 My daughter tried to use the following gift card that she had received and received a message about it not being properly activated.

    My daughter tried using an iTunes gift card that she received and it indicated that it was not properly activated. 
    <Edited by Host>

    Do not post card codes or any other personal information in these forums. These are open, public forums, not a way to communicate with Apple, so posting any such information here just gives it to the entire world. I'll ask the Hosts to remove the code and you'll just have to hope that no one is able to redeem the code before you can.
    As to the problem, what you normally should do when you have an iTunes card that has not been activated is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, or you don't know or can't get to the retailer, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt
    Regards.
