If I do not have a credit card binded to my Apple ID, will I still be able to redeem and use iTunes gift cards?

How did you create the account ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you didn't use those instructions then you will need to enter card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them), or create a new account (and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it).

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

Attempting to install iTunes with invalid email and used iTunes gift card

My 9 year old daughter got an iPod Touch and $25 iTunes giftcard. She attempted to open an iTunes account and used the $25 gift card to activate the account. After several attempts and failures with her own email address (apparently because she is not old enough for an account), she tried again with another email address, one that she made up. I sent an email from my email address to the one she used and it came back undeliverable because the email address did not exist. Is the giftcard used up, now? If so, how can I get the money back onto the card to use it on my iTunes account. Please email me the response and let me know if you need the email address she used and/or the iTunes giftcard number.

Hello, Mom, and welcome to the Discussions.
First, please understand that you are not communicating with Apple when you post here. We're all just fellow users, helping other users as we have time and knowledge to offer.
In a situation like this there's nothing much we can do. My guess is that the iTunes Store automated registration system sent the usual validation request to the made-up email address, and since the address doesn't exist, there's no way to validate the account and access the credit balance. You'll need to contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and explain your situation to them. I would suggest you include the bogus email address and the gift card number in your message to them.
Good luck, and regards.

HT2105 I have an itunes gift card, then found out that I can not use it with my KOBO Ereader. I was wondering if I could let someone else in my family use the balance of my gift card? They have an IPad and they often use Itune Gift Cards to purchase mov

I was given an itunes gift card, then found out that my KOBO Ereader will not accept the itunes gift card. I now have this gift card with a balance on it and would like to give it to my brother (he has an IPAD and uses Itune gift cards all the time). If he was to use my gift card (with my password) would the movie or book that he purchase show up on his devise or would it show up on mine. Thanks for all the help

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you redeem the gift card to your iTunes Store account? If not, just give your brother the gift card and he can redeem it in his own iTunes Store account. If you did redeem the card, then there's no way to transfer the balance from your iTunes Store account to his. He'd have to use your iTunes Store account to make the purchases and sync to his devices.

I have a 16 year I support that lives in Haiti. He has a computer, but is not able to charge on a credit card. If I purchase prepaid Itunes gift cards, is he able to set up a Itunes account and use these gift cards. That would be his only method of pay

Hi judifrom!
I have some links for you that can help shed some light on the subject of gifting through iTunes and Apple IDs. The first can be found in this link:
Gifting - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/help/gifting
and the relevant information in that link can be found right here:
Gift Cards and Certificates are valid for use only in the country in which they were purchased. Only residents of the U.S may redeem gift certificates purchased in the U.S.
You can still help them set up an Apple ID without payment information so that they can download free items through the iTunes store though. The steps for performing that can be found in the following article:
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

Hi Kim ...
Might not just be the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
Apple "verifies" your billing credentials with every transaction.
what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card
If the total purchase price of the media including any applicable taxes or fees exceeds the balance of the redeemed card, then the difference is charged to your debit or credit card account.

If you don't have a credit card then you might be able to use iTunes gift cards instead - that's what I currently use for purchases. You might be getting the 'billing problem' message due to it being a debit card, which as I said I don't think are still accepted - you might want to contact iTunes Support via the link that I gave to confirm one way or the other if that is the case.

"my airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet!"

Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

What happens if I have a credit card and an iTunes gift card in the App Store

What happens if I have a credit card and an iTunes gift card in the App Store And I buy an app? Does the iTunes gift card get deducted or does it get charged my credit card?

The gift card balance will be deducted unless you gift that application.

How to use itunes gift card to buy apps on ipad 2? Do I need a credit card for it?

how to use itunes gift card to buy apps on ipad 2? Do I need a credit card for it?

I'm sorry, but there is nothing that I can do to help you with this situation. I don't know why, but many people have problems when they try to buy gems in the Clash of Clans game. Personally, I wouldn't touch the game with a ten foot pole, but that's just my opinion.
You will have to contact iTunes Store Support and ask for their help. You can email them from here.

How can I gift an album with the money I have redeem from an iTunes gift card?

Sorry, but you cannot. To give a gift to someone else, you will need to provide a credit card.

TS1368 Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card. I am going to return both of these items it I cannot find a fix for this.

Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:
Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card that I cannot use(been trying now for 6 days). I am going to return both of these items if I cannot find a fix for this.

When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer. There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day. The iTunes app was downloaded the same day. Since day 1 I have not been able to connect. I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

After restarting my computer:
From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
A new window opens and I get the following message:
This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
Please review your account information
So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
Welcome to the iTunes Store
With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
So I click on 'Continue'
A pop up window says:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops
