I would like to use a Visa gift card . . .

. . . for purchasing books, music, etc., at the iTunes music store.  Would anyone happen to know if purchases can be made by using a MasterCard or Visa gift card? If so, how does it work?  Thank you.  -K

Well, I was really asking how it worked, because I wanted to restock my account, not what cards were used by someone else.  Since there are no other explanations, I researched it myself and this is what I found:
"We are unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of the United States or prepaid gift cards issued by credit card companies. Debit cards and check cards have daily spending limits that may prevent the processing of your order."
The above statement would lead me to believe that gift cards such as Visa or MasterCard, cannot be used to restock an iTunes account. Thank you.

  • How to use a visa gift card in itunes store

    Can you use a visa gift card in the itunes store and if so how do you set it up?

    You cannot.
    Gift cards are country specific.
    You cannot use the U.S itunes store from the U.K.
    Send the card back to someone in the U.S who can use it.

  • 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.

  • TS1646 I live in a foreign country and would like to use my US credit card (which has my current foreign address) to make purchase in the US App Store. How do I do this?

    I live in Japan but I would like to use my US credit card to make purchases in the US Store.
    I had no problems with this previously, but I recently informed my US bank of my Japanese address and changed it (had to).
    There is no way to input my Japanese address (so that it matches the bank information) in the fields for the US App Store (which has no foreign country fields, you are limited to having to fill in the US state field, flags me for phone number area code differences, etc.). 
    When I hit the change country button: A) It took me to the Japanese App Store; B) I could not use my US credit card there (despite my Japanese address).
    Yes, I may want to make purchases in the Japanese App Store in the future (I am bilingual), but the selections are different depending on the country.
    Now I can make purchases in neither country.
    I want to make purchases in the US Store from Japan.
    Help! I feel like I am getting punished for being global. (The world should be getting smaller, more interconnected, and more convenient with the Internet --- not the opposite!)

    Well, I can certainly understand the licensing argument if I were using a Japanese credit card with a Japanse address and making a purchase with Japanese yen from the US Store from Japan.
    When I am making a purchase with US card from the US store with US dollars, the argument becomes a bit suspect  (I know it is Apple's, not your argument).
    it is just kind of a paradoxical situation and I am hoping Apple will offer some sort of solution. We can always hoe, right?
    Thank you for your reply.

  • I would like to purchase apps in the app store without adding a credit card to my apple id.  I would like to enter just a gift card as payment.  Is this possible?  How do I do it?

    I would like to set my payment options in a way that will not tie my user id to a credit card, but will allow me to use gift cards to purchase apps.  Is this possible?  How can I do this?  Do I ever have to enter a credit card in order to pay with gift cards?

    No. You can redeem Gift cards directly in the Store Apps by tapping the "Redeem" button next to your Apple ID. Usually found at the bottom of the different tabs in the Store Apps.
    You can set your payment method to none.
    In fact that's what I do. I have no payment option set, and stick exclusively to gift cards.

  • I would like to send an itunes gift card to my aunt in Dubai.  How would I do this so she can upload it to her ipad?

    How can I send my Aunt an ITunes Gift Card in Dubai.  She doens't have a credit card and I would like for her to be able to buy books.

    Sorry, but you can't. iTunes cards are valid only in the country of purchase, so your aunt could not use an iTunes card you were to purchase in your own country, and to the best of my knowledge Apple does not at this time offer gift cards in the UAE.
    Perhaps there's another e-book seller she could use, such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Google Books, for which you could buy her a gift certificate. All three offer apps for the iPad for their e-book format. You'll need to check any country restrictions for those sellers.
    Regards.

    Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
    No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.

    To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted .  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

    There may be a solution but I doubt that the trouble will be worth the dollar that you'll gain.

  • I would like to use DasyLab for a research project with Siemens PLC

    I would like to use DasyLab with Siemens PLC Simatic S7-300. Which OPC Server shall I use?
    I would like a manual for connecting DasyLab via OPC server to the PLC if it is possible.
    Could I use NI OPC Servers which are compatible with LabView?
    Thank you for your help

    I believe that Siemens has an OPC server that you can purchase.
    KepWare has the KepServer and drivers for Siemens www.kepware.com.
    DASYLab has the Help menu with the instructions for the OPC DA modules. It's straightforward - configure the OPC server with the necessary drivers and connections (tags). Update rates are in milliseconds, for example, 100 ms is typical. You need to know your device and driver, to determine data types.
    Once configured, KepServer has an OPC quick client to allow you to test your settings. 
    Then, add the OPC DA module to DASYLab, connect to the server, and select the tags to read or write. 
    Note that it's simple to set up on a single computer - to set up on multiple computers requires assistance from your It team to correctly configure the DCOM permissions. That's specific to the OPC server.

    Measurement Computing (MCC) has free technical support. Visit www.mccdaq.com and click on the "Support" tab for all support options, including DASYLab.

  • Would like to use song from Itunes as background music for blog, How do I?

    Would like to use a song I have in my Itunes library as background music in my blog. Does anyone know how? New to computing and not great on the lingo just yet. Thanks

    I'll give you my recipe to attain your goal. Then, please, tell me if it worked.
    First of all, you need some MB of disc space on the web, and almost all of the e-mail providers (such hotmail.com, msn.com aol.com andso.on) can give you this chance.
    Second step, you have to download, install on your computer and set with your web space information, an ftp browser such as SoftX FTP Client ( http://www.softx.org/ftp-download.html ) or Terrapin FTP Browser ( http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/downloads/index.cfm?categoryID=1470&itemID=6574 ).
    Third step, you have to reduce the mp3 bitrate of your song whether it's more than 128 kbps, to make sure it won't be too heavy to load when someone visit your blog. To do this, you must open the Preference panel of iTunes (in Windows version of it usually in tools menu), click on advanced, click on import and then choose import using mp3 encoding and set the bitrate to 128 kbps (less is better) and confirm. Now select your song, right click on it and click on convert selection to mp3. When the operation will end, you'll have two files of the same song. Right click on the new one and click on "show file". An Explorer window will open with the right file already selected. Just drag and drop it on the FTP browser (is better if you correct the name of the song and put out spaces between the words before the uploading - i.e.: "Storm in a tea cup.mp3" will become storminateacup.mp3 or storm.mp3, far better) and it will be uploaded to your web space. Obviously, if your file is already at a low bitrate (lower than 128), you must jump the "Preference panel setting" step and the "convert to mp3" step.
    Final step: your blog
    this is the standard html syntax, accepted by almost all of the blog providers:
    '<embed src="http://YOURWEBADDRESS/NAMEOFTHESONG.mp3" autostart=false loop=false volume='85' width=425 height=40>'
    Be careful: you have to write correctly your web address and the name of the song, because the html language is case sensitive.
    put autostart=true if you'd like to hear the song as you open the blog and loop=true if you like to hear your song again and again. You can also set the volume as you like (0-100 is the range) and put to 0 both width and height if you like to make the song bar invisible.
    You can put the code either in a post or in the blog page, as it will be the soundtrack for the blog or just for a single post.
    Enjoy it

  • Good day, I would like to use my macbook pro to install windows 7 and it seems it requires a "backup disc" There was not one in the box when I bought this unit. Where can I purchase one? Thx.

    Hello, I would like to use my Macbook pro computer to be able to use windows 7. There are references to using a backup disc that has an apple logo on it. I did not receive one when I bought this computer. Does anyone know where to purchase or get one of these discs? Thx

    You need to have a backup disk drive before you ever make changes to your system; to the partitions and hard drives. Most users at a minimum use TimeMachine to backup their system to an external disk drive, which a WD MyBook Mac 2TB are about $99.
