Problems buying a gift card from iTunes

I want to buy iTunes gift cards (and print them out) but when proceeding I get the message that my account can not buy gift-cards at this moment and refers me to a local Apple shop. I have been buying from the store before and also from the app store: no problems then.

  • I live in the UK and want to purchase gift cards from iTunes for people in the US but It won't allow me to use my UK address and credit card. Can I or cant I?

    You would have to work with a retailer selling iTunes cards who would accept a non-US credit card. Best Buy is a possibility; they carry iTunes prepaid cards and will accept orders from other countries:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/International-Orders/pcmcat204400050019. c?id=pcmcat204400050019
    You'll have to have the order shipped directly to the person in the US (or at least someone with a US address, who could then repackage and resend the cards for you).

  • Transfer a gift card from itunes to app store

    I picked up a macbook air today and it came with a $100 gift card. I redeemed my card on itunes, but realised that I could only download page from the app store (my bad). I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer the balance of my gift card from my itunes account to my app store account, if there's a way to cancel the redeemed code.
    P.S. I love the support that apple gives. This forum is such a great way to get help. Never going back to windows.

  • I'm trying to buy a gift card on itunes and it says i have to contact apple support to complete my transaction, but it doesn't say what the problem is. the computer is authorized, the credit card is authorized. i can log in with my password and user ID.

    I'm trying to email my goddaughter a gift certificate for itunes, but i keep getting a message that says, you have to contact support to complete the transaction. the computer is authorized, the credit card is authorized, and i have a userid and password with which i can log on to my account, so i don't know what i'm doing wrong.  any ideas?

    Hi...
    My credit card is from El Salvador And I can't buy english movies?
    Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

  • How do I delete my Visa gift card from iTunes?

    So I got a visa giftcard and put it in my iTunes to get some music. But now I have used it all, and it will NOT let me download free apps, or even update apps. It keeps saying "Theres a billing problem with your previous purchase.Please update your payment method." I have read through some other discussions but I do not see the none option, and idk if I can go on the website and see if there is a none option because I don't have computers just a iPad mini and Samsung Galaxy Tablet. Would that work? Please someone help me! Nothing's working!

    Hi Nya.jaquez
    You have to pay the amount of songs you have purchased from iTunes.
    If you don't have enough money in your credit card you can change the credit card to complete the purchases.
    Go Settings>iCloud>Click on your Apple ID email account>Payment Information>Then change Payment Info.
    Thank you.

  • The gift Card from iTunes is loaded into my account, but it still asked me the code!! What to do?

    I loaded the gift card into my account at iTunes Store but, when i try to reedeem keep on asking me the code!!! What can i do If i lost the gift card?

    This means your iTunes account already shows a credit balance.  For example, if you successfully loaded a $25 gift card into your account, your account would show a $25 credit balance.

    You should not try to redeem any longer!  "Redeem" is what you did in the step above - what you called "loaded".
    To use the value of the card, simply make a purchase from the iTunes Store.  If you purchase something for your own personal use (not a gift, for example), then the cost will come from your store credit.

  • Does touch ID not work when redeeming gift cards from iTunes?

    I thought the whole idea with touch id was not having to enter your long-*** passwords all the time?!? iTunes asked for my password when I try to redeem gift cards, instead of letting me use touch id.  Is this the way its supposed to work?

    I was having this issue too, it was always asking for the passcode even though the setting was on for iTunes & App Store. To fix it I turned it off and then back on again, it asked for my password and then it worked.
    Steps:
    - Go to Settings -> General -> Touch ID & Passcode -> Touch ID
    - Disable iTunes & App Store
    - Re-enable iTunes & App Store
    - Enter your passcode one last time
    - It should work
    Also as others mentioned, under General -> Restrictions -> Require Password might need to be set to 15 minutes.

  • I got a Itunes gift card from my uncle from the UK and i live in Sweden, how do i use it? It says that my account only allows me to buy from swedish iTunes

    I got a iTunes gift card from my uncle, he lives in England and i lve in Sweden, so i cant use it because it only works in the "UK Itunes". And when i change so i get "UK Itunes" i cant buy it cause my account only allows me to buy in swedish Itunes store... Please help me!!!

  • Is there a way I can buy an iTunes U.S. gift card from Australia?

    I have a client in Australia who needs to either buy a U.S. iTunes gift card, or gift an app to someone in the U.S.  Is there a way to do that?

    Not from Apple, they don't let you use gift cards to buy other gift cards - other stores might, but (here in the UK anyway) most if not all stores don't let you use gift cards to buy other gift cards.

  • I buy an itunes gift card from apple store u.s but code of this card is not active

    I buy an itunes gift card from apple store u.s but code of this card is not active. it's means when i inter code of this card for redeem it doesn't work and says your code is incorrect.

    What's the actual error message that you are getting, that the card hasn't been activated or that the code is invalid ?
    If invalid code (and your iTunes account has a US billing address on your account ; all gift cards are country-specific) and this page doesn't help 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
    You can also use that link to contact Support if the card hasn't been activated.

  • Bought a $25 itunes gift card from 7-11 and it was invalid, cashier was too busy on the phone with a personal friend and didn't give me a receipt, please help!

    I bought a $25 iTunes gift card from the 7-11 in Windsor Locks, CT earlier this afternoon around 6:45 P.M, and when I tried to activate it, the code was invalid, and when I called the 7-11 to let them know what happened, the foreign man that answered the phone started yelling at me when I told him the cashier was the too busy on the phone with a friend to give me a receipt for my purchases. Considering that my card didn't work and the guy yelled at me when I was trying to make him aware of the situation, it made me wonder how many other people has that convenience store scammed into buying invalid gift cards? If they are scamming people, is there a way for me to report the store to Apple for using the company to gain fraudulent dollars? Is there a way I can get my money back?

  • HT2534 I bought iTunes gift cards from the UK and am having  queries from iTunes using them from Malawi. How can I overcome this???

    I purchased some iTunes gift cards from Britain from where I have just returned. I am having problems using these at the iTunes store. The wording that comes back is that I am using a British Card for a Malawi application. I bought these on the understanding that Apple is one company internationally. That is obviously not the case. My question is: HOW DO I OVERCOME THIS ?

    iTunes gift cards can only be used in their country of issue, so UK cards can only be used in the UK on UK based accounts. Do you know anybody in the UK that you could sell or give the cards to ?
