ITunes store does not match that of the gift card...

I got a gift card from Germany and live in Switzerland. Apple support recommends to give it away to somebody living in Germany or so... Not very helpfull !
In internet there are some blogs how to install an account in a foreign country, but you have to indicate a fake address inside of that country... Not so cute !
Any other possibilities around?...

Sorry, but whether or not you think that suggestion helpful, it's all you can do. As RG said, iTunes cards are country-specific. A German iTunes card can be used only in the German iTunes Store, and you cannot use the German iTunes Store from Switzerland.

  • Your iTunes store ([?]) does not match that of the gift certificate ([?])

    My iPad was purchased and registered in the USA. I am on a temporary assignment in Mexico. I purchased a iTunes gift card. When I tried to redeem it I get an error message. "Your iTuens store ([?]) does not match that of the gift certificate ([?])". I seen on another post that I need to change my region. I did that and still get the same error. Any help is much appreciated.
    Thank you,

    If you have a US iTunes account, you cannot use a gift card
    from Mexico in that US account. Additionally, you are supposed
    to be in the US when using your US account.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    You can't redeem that certificate in another country's store. You also can't change the iTunes Store country with an unspent balance.

  • HT201209 i keep gettin getting this message when ever i type in the code on the cared.. your itunes store (NIGERIA) does not match that of the gift certificate (U.S).

    can someon please tell me why anytime i try to redeem my itune voucher card it says my codes are not recongnised due to the country (Nigeria) which i picked as my region because it is not the United State

    Gift cards are country-specific - so US gift cards can only be used in the US on US iTunes accounts. If you are in Nigeria and it's a US gift cards then you won't be able to use it, in which case do you know anybody in the US that you could sell or give the card to ?

  • Annoying 'Could not use the history eraser because the current canvas size does not match that of the history state' message

    Does anyone know if it is possible to get rid of the message 'Could not use the history eraser because the current canvas size does not match that of the history state'?. It comes up if I hit the alt/option key while I have the eraser selected. Something I do by accident all the time.

    The way you've described it, one gets the distinct impression you do not have a clue as to what the history brush does and how to use it.
    You need to read up on it.  Read the Help files and google for tutorials.
    First you need to create an image (with actual pixels in it), edit it as desired, then make a snapshot of the edited image, then target the snapshot with the history brush tool, then go back in the History panel to the step before your edits and selectively paint your edits in with the History Brush.

    Hello Agnes w,
    It sounds like you have two Apple ID’s and that is ok. Start with taking a look at the article below to go through and know how to use multiple Apple ID’s. You will need to make the decision to use one or the other if that is the case when it deals with your purchases. If you want to make the passwords the same, check out the second article to walk you through changing passwords on your Apple ID’s.

  • HT201209 itunes store does not match gift code certificate store

    I recently received a gift code from a friend in the U.S., but as I live elswhere, when I try to redeem the code, it gives me this message:
    Your iTunes store (Country) does not match that of gift certificate (USA).
    How do I solve this?
    Thanks,
    Ravismi

    You can't, gift cards and certificates are country-specific, so US cards/certificates can only be redeemed in the US on US-based iTunes accounts.
    If it's a gift certificate then your friend could try sending it to a fellow US-account holder, or he/she could contact iTunes support and see if they will refund/credit him/her.
    If it's an Tunes gift card then you could either sell/give it to somebody in the US or send it back to your friend.

  • Itunes store does not display with in the itunes player, why?

I have gone through all of the troubleshooting that i am willing to go through to make this work - Can someone !! Tell me why does the iTunes store NOT DISPLAY with in the iTunes Player?
    I click on the iTunes Store from the iTunes player...center screen with in the player shows that its "Accessing iTunes Store" when its finishes - the screen remains blank! and stays like that...
    Again why does the iTunes store not display with in iTunes?
    Also , my Safari acts the same why...i open the browser and the Screen just sits there never finding, opening, or access anything from the web...YES I am connected to the internet? SO why does Safari sit there...

  • Itunes Store Does Not Have The Band "Headstones" Discography

    I searched them like 5 different names whether it be song or artsist and there's no trace of them, except that there lead singer Hugh Dillon's solo stuff is on there and it says listeners alo bought and a name on their is "headstones" but when i click on it.
    it brings me to the rolling headstones or the gettin' headstones.
    my buddy searched them up and said the were on their but i can't find them. am i doing something wrong or what?

    The iTunes Store does not have 100% of all music that exists, so it is possible they simply don't sell it. (FYI the iTunes USA Store does not have them.) Ask your friend where he saw them and maybe that will help track it down. You can also check other online music download retailers.
    If that does not help, the used Headstones CDs are readily available, which you can buy and rip into your iTunes library.

  • The search function in the itunes store does not work.  It will accept a request and suggest searches but then it locks up and will not search.  Clicking on the magnifying glass or a suggested search does nothing.  Re-installing itunes has not helped.
