Itunes gift card wont work

i tried putting the gift card code into my ipod and it keeps saying that its an invalid code, even though i put it in the EXACT way that it is on the card.

Inactive gift cards are cards that were bought at the store but were not activated or improperly activated at the time of purchase. This means that if the card was "swiped" incorrectly, not swiped at all or swiped multiple times, the card becomes inactive. This is because the cards are sent to the retail stores without any value and "swiping" the card places the value amount of your purchase on the card.
iTunes does not send out replacement codes for inactive gift cards without receipts. You will need to provide them a proof of purchase before this is activated as the cards are sent to the retail stores without any value (inactive). However, they do have holiday exceptions (around december to mid-january) that allows them to activate cards even without a proof of purchase.
Since gift cards never expire, you might want to keep the gift card until december if you're still interested in using it. Just a thought.

If the error message you are receiving is that your iTunes Gift Card in inactive, you should contact iTunes Store Customer Support via the Contact Support link on the lower-left side of the iTunes support page and include attached digital photos or scanned images of the sales receipt and both sides of the gift card.

Halp. my itunes gift card isnt working

my itunes gift card isnt working. like i put in the code a couple times and it didnt not work..

By 'didn't work' you mean ... ? Do you get any error messages ?
Was the iTunes card issued in the same country as your account is based (they are only valid in their country of issue) ? If it was then, depending upon what happens when you try to redeem it, see if this page helps. If it's a problem that only iTunes Support can help with then you can contact them via this page (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

Itunes gift cards not working with 2 separate acounts

Hello, We need some help with Itunes gift cards. My son received two gift cards and partially used one. Then my wife received a new ipod and we set up her account on the same computer as my son's and used the same email address. Now neither gift card will work. What can we do to remedy this? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Yeah, that won't work, I guess the gift-giver didn't read the fine print

Can I redeem a US gift certificate if I live outside the US?
Gift certificates purchased on the iTunes Music Store are valid for use only in the country in which they were purchased. Gift certificates purchased in the United States may only be redeemed by residents of the United States.

My iTunes gift card wont redeem, it says that it's invalid.

my friend bought me an itunes gift card for my birthday, and when I tried to redeem it it said that the code is invalid. I tried 6 or 7 times and it still won't work. Is there any way that I can get it activated somehow without going to a store?

U.S.-purchased iTunes gift card not working on Canadian-purchased iPad - why????

In Florida with a Canadian-bought iPad. When trying to load a U.S.-purchased ITunes gift card, receiving "code not valid" message. Is this because US cards are not compatible with Canadian-purchased Apple products? Thanks

Found my answer - thanks.

iTunes Gift Cards are only Valid in Country of Issue.

I can't get my Itunes gift card to work.

I bought a $15 gift card to use for my iphone and I can not get it to work.

When/how is it not working, when trying to redeem it or when trying to buy things with it ?
If you can't redeem it and you are getting a 'not activated' message then can you take it back to the store that you bought it from and ask them to activate it properly ? If not then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes
If you are getting an 'invalid code' message and this page doesn't then also try the above link to contact iTunes Support.
If it's a different problem ... ?

My Gift Card Wont Work

I redeemed a gift card on the iTunes store and it shows that it worked. But whenever I go to buy something on the iTunes store its says I need to use a credit card. My credit is still shown in the top right corner of the store as $15.00 but I can't use it. Please if you know how to fix this, tell me.

Again, if you're attempting to purchase apps or games from the Canadian iTunes Store, you can't do it with a gift card. There will be no resolution to this issue since it's not a mistake or bug.
If you're trying to purchase music, videos, etc. and are having a problem, start a new topic, providing full details including Windows and iTunes versions, error messages, etc. and perhaps someone here can offer advice.

Gift Card wont work

Please help me. I have been trying to use a gift card tomake purchases from itunes, but it says that verification is required and I must answer my seciruty questions. I don't remember the answers to my questions and I'm not getting the email to reset the answers. I need help. I have over $30 on gift cards that I want to use.

If the email isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
