It wont even accept my icoke pins! when I enter them (and there are two on the inside of the cap) it says its an invalid pin.. Other places online says this offer expired March 31, but on the bottle cap it says 12/31/2011 so I dont understand,. Why do you offer a free itune when one cant access it?

Normally what you should do 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. Since you have no receipt, though, it's unlikely that Target will help you, so go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Please note that everyone here is just a felllow user, so you should post no personal information as it will quickly become public.

Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
1. Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
2. You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

My itunes will not let me log in because it says that the account has not been used before. How can I fix this?

My itunes on my computer will not let me log in, because it says that the account has never been used. Help me.

Hello zahler4,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! This is a common alert message when your Apple ID has not yet been configured for use with the iTunes Store. To configure it, you should have the option to “Review” - at which time you can add a payment method to your account. For more information, check out this resource:
Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201762
When using the store for the first time, you must provide a payment method. After you configure the account you can change your payment information to None:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support

TS1292 When I redeem my itunes card, it states that the card has not been poperly activated. I received this card as a gift, so I don't have a receipt, and unable to take it back to a store to activate. What else can I do?

When I redeem my itunes gift card, it states that the card has not been properly activated. I can't provide a receipt as it was a gift. Is there another solution?

Does the person who gave it to you still have the receipt ? You can try contacting iTunes Support and see what they say (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card) : 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

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons until the iPad restarts (about ten seconds), so you will be able to use the device again after having it restarted

TS2890 I have an apple id but when enter it to make purchase, it says that this id has not been used in the itunes store?

how to make a new apple id by using itunes without credit card?

Well you can't fix it without entering a credit card now - or without creating a new Apple ID. If you did not want to use a credit card with your Apple ID, there is a very specific way that you have to create the account. If you don't or didn't follow those steps exactly, you have no choice now but to enter a credit card - or create a new Apple ID without the credit card.
If you create a new Apple ID, you will also need another email address since you have already associated your current email address to the ID that needs a credit card. You also have to sign out of your ID in Settings>iTunes and App Stores before you can create anothe Apple ID.

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
