ITunes credit vs iTunes credit card

I Have iTunes sharing enabled and it requires a credit card. I have given my wife access using the parent/guardian option. However, she has $20 in iTunes credit to use and when she try's to buy a song, it requires the security code from the back of the credit card. We don't want to use the credit card, we want to use the money that's loaded in her account. How can we do that with the new updates?

Go to the main iTunes store screen.
At the top right under Quick Links, click Redeem.
Input the gift certificate number then click Create new account.

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

  • HT1918 How do I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit balance?

    My credit card is offering me a $5 statement credit if I spend at least $5 on iTunes.  Problem is I have a large credit balance - how can I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit?

    If you have a balance on your iTunes account then that will automatically be used for purchases before your credit card will be - you can't change how items are billed.
    You could try gifting items to yourself, you can only gift via a credit card (I haven't tried it but I think that you should be able to gift items to yourself)

  • I tried to purchase music at iTunes with the iTunes card I was given. I was able to redeem the amount and it shows on my apple Id I have $25 but it does not pay my purchase it will still go to my credit card and bill it. It did not give an option.

    If you were instructed to call them, then that's what you should do. They will probably need to verify your identity before helping you with the security question.

  • HT1689 Can I set up an ITunes account without a credit card number?

    We are using IPads in a school setting and having trouble setting up the ITunes account without a credit card number.  We are only allowed to download free apps, the school is not paying for any, therefore we do not need to have a credit card for purchases.  Is there a way to get around this so that we can still download the free apps onto the IPads?
    Thank you

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

  • How can I create an iTunes account _without_ giving credit card details?

    Hello,
    I'm from Israel, and due to iTunes incompatibility with Israeli credit cards, I cannot sign up for iTunes. I want to use it to comment on albums and songs, (get the free content offered to users '^_^ ,) store my favorites so I could have a list of what songs to buy at the store, etc.
    I've heard there is a way, though I don't know how.

    @Chris: I'm trying to sign up to the US store, of course. I know there isn't an Israeli store, still, I wanna 'participate' in the store with comments, iMixes, etc.
    As it has been said, but without a US based credit card and billing address, this is impossible
    @Dave: Thanks alot, I thought I can use an iTunes gift card... I'll buy a virtual one soon, and then use it to sign up for iTunes. Thanks again! :-D.
    Gift cards are regional as well and still require a US based address in your case. You have to show some kind of residency in said country to buy it.
    Sorry, but thats the way things work.

    How can I create a iTunes account without a Credit card?

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    I was downloading $15 worth of iTunes songs from a gift card when my iPod died. Now, no credit & no songs on my iPod. Where did either my $$ go or my songs that I paid for disappear? How do I get one or the other? I have 2 of the same iPod's and logged onto both with the same as well as different apple ID's and passwords to each respective iPod and the completion of my downloaded songs has disappeared into thin air. Where did it go? How do I get the credit too re-download those songs to the correct iPod? Please help me!! [email protected]

    What happens when you try to redownload them?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    On a computer go to iTunes>Store>View Account>Sign in and go to purchased history and see if you actually purchased them.
    Try redeeming the card again
