Time out on gift certificate -- is it valid?

I printed my gift certificate from the iTunes store, but I didn't click on the "Done" button. It told me I had timed out and to go back and begin again. Is the gift certificate I printed valid? Will it work? I'm worried that my credit card will be charged twice if I go back and make a new gift certificate.

Hi Bill79
The following terminal commands will prevent apps / windows from reopening. The checkbox will still appear to be ticked, but it does work apparently.
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow TALLogoutSavesState -bool false
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowLaunchesRelaunchApps -bool false
Hope that helps.

TS1292 I have purchased a gift certificate for iTunes from my account and got it in email for my daughter. we tried to enter the code in the sign-up page in iTunes and it says the cade is not valid?

I have the gift certificate I sent to My Daugther and it has two codes, one is PIN and the other one is a gift card number! I tried entering each one and every time it says code not valid!
Does anyone have a solution?

You have a phone that was returned as defective. How it got into the market again is anyone's guess, but the ONLY way to resolve it is to call Apple, and that may not resolve it either if it was pilfered by someone at an Apple repair center.

I received an itunes store gift certificate. When I try to redeem it, the screen says Session Timeout. I have entered and reentered the certificate code, but Session Timeout comes up each time. What am I doing wrong?

I received an iTunes gift certificate for Christmas. When I try to redeem it, a window comes up saying "Session Timeout." I have signed out, signed back in, tried again, and when I enter the code and press Redeem, the "Session Timeout--Your session has timed out. Try again." message pops up. What am I doing wrong?

You will need to contact the iTunes Store.

Why, as of last night, do I keep getting the message that the security certificate is not valid on sites I use all the time, like my hotmail account, paypal, facebook, etc?

I even got that message when I tried to post my question! It says that Firefox cannot verify a secure connection with mozilla, or whatever website I'm trying to visit, because the security certificate is not valid. It even gives the dates that the certificate will be valid, and the date shows that it is valid. So frustrating!! I have to "override" Firefox every time.

I have the same problem but I've corrected the time on my windows clock and I still got the same problem. Do you know if there's anything else I can do?

My podcast has a valid rss but itunes times out

We have a podcast rss feed that is validating http://sonofwashington.com/feed/podcast/ but for some reason when I upload it to iTunes it times out? Please help me out as this is getting quite frustrating.

I just suscribed manuallly to it from the 'Advanced' menu and it worked perfectly well, and feed appears to be fine. Where are you seeing the timeout? Suibscribing?
However, you link to a feed at http://sonofwashington.com/feed/podcast/
The iTunes podcast 'Son of Washington' is not using this feed, but one at
http://sonofwashington.com/feed/
This feed shows only the latest episode: it contains a number of other episodes but these do not have media files - iTunes does not display episodes which do not have media files, and I assume that these are pushing the earlier episodes which do have media files off the feed.
You need to get iTunes working from the correct feed: the method for doing that is described here:

Please make sure you follow the instructions absolutely exactly, as a mistake can lock you out of your podcast.

How do I pay for an Itune to come out of a redeemed gift certificate?

How do I pay for an Itune to come out of a redeemed gift certificate?

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

Repost (Amazon gift certificate for answer this time) NT Event ids

Where can I find information about the different types of event ids (with numbers and descriptions, source tag, type) for what Oracle writes to the NT event log ?
I offer a $25 gift certificate for the first answer.
Thanks

The note in question reads :
When the Oracle Database Server service fails or fails to start with a pre-
determined error code it calls the ReportEvent function to write an entry to
the event log, Windows NT then passes the parameters to the event-logging
service. This in turn then uses the information to write an EVENTLOGRECORD
structure to the event log. Other errors are reported to the Alert.Log or
related trace files.
When the Windows NT event viewer application starts it uses the OpenEventLog
function to open the event log for an event source. The event viewer can then
use the ReadEventLog function to read event records from the log. ReadEventLog
returns a buffer containing an EVENTLOGRECORD structure and additional
information that describes a logged event.

Incomplete Gift Certificate and no response from the Apple Store

On Dec. 22nd I purchased a gift certificate through iTunes for my sister. She received an email telling her how to redeem the card, it came without a redemption code and instead of my name she got [?]. The message said:
"You have received an iTunes Gift Certificate in the amount of $15.00 from [?]. To redeem your gift click the Redeem Now link above. Once you verify your account, $15.00 will be credited to your account, so you can start buying music right away."
She cannot redeem it. She clicks on the link provided at it asks for the redemption code which isn't there. My sister has contacted the help desk and they have been less than helpful repeatedly and is at wits end.
My credit card was billed for it on the 26th, however, my purchase history has no record of the transaction, so PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO RESEND THE GIFT RECEIPT AS I CANNOT.
I've sent an email message using the form at the bottom of the appropriate help screen a few days ago and still haven't received a response and there isn't any phone number to call.
Do I have any other choice than to contest this charge with my credit card company or file a small claims suit?
Thanks

You can try calling 1-800-275-2273 and asking to speak to Customer Relations.
But it may be just that the iTunes Store customer service group is backed up with all the post-holiday issues (like yours) and will get back to you as soon as they can get to you. It often takes any company a while to dig out from the post-holiday rush of questions. It's only been barely two days (you contacted them on the 3rd) since you emailed them, and the form you used says that they'll try to respond within 72 hours (three days) under normal circumstances, which post-holiday times most definitely are not.
So have a bit of patience before you let fly with lawsuit threats; Apple's not trying to rip you off, they're just probably swamped. If you haven't heard anything by, say, Monday, try sending another message using the same form. Then you if still don't get a response toward the end of the week try Apple Customer Relations. But if you call them now, I'm sure they'll just say that you need to wait.

Gift certificate with email notification never arrived

I purchased a gift certificate for my nephew and chose to have him notified by email. Unfortunately, his notification never arrived. I have tried to contact Apple, but thus far have not penetrated past the computer voice on the phone or the automated support online which does not help. The purchase does not show up under my order history. Does that mean it was never made? Or has my credit card been charged even though there is no record of the purchase in the history? Not sure what to do next. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I wanted the gift certificate to arrive in time for Christmas. Help?! ~Jaeni

Sorry, but you cannot give iTunes gifts, whether via gift certificate or a prepaid card, to someone outside of the US. Gifts purchased in the US are valid only in the US iTunes Store which cannot be used outside of the country. If you find that you have been charged for the gift, the easiest thing to do will be to resend the gift, this time choosing someone in the US. Otherwise, you can contact the iTunes Store and ask if they will grant a refund.
I have tried to contact Apple, but thus far have not penetrated past the computer voice on the phone or the automated support online which does not help.
Just for future reference, the iTunes Store has no telephone support. They can be contacted only by using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button)
Regards.

Chris CA, 62,910 points. Dang...that's a lot of support. Before I start, let me say Thank You! You need to answer a lot of people's questions to achieve that.
1) You slightly misunderstood my letter through no fault of your own. It was a generic compilation of information submitted by members of this discussion turned into a letter by me for use on the Apple Feedback site. I myself did not receive an e-mail. I actually was prevented from purchasing any more iTunes gift cards at a certain point and was given a cryptic response from the iTunes store that my request could not be processed. It was only after investigation on my part that I found out the reason was the $100 max per 30 day rule. I'd try to find where in the Apple's support site I did find that information...but, well, you are just going to have to trust me. However, others in this discussion stated they received the information in an e-mail. I used that fact in my letter as it seemed to create a less "cumbersome" feedback submission.
2) "Why look for iOS apps?" That's a good very good question! I miswrote. I should have said "OS X apps." That is where iTunes is located on the Feedback Site. Good catch. As you know (62,910 points is a lot of "knowing"), when you submit feedback you must click on the item of which you are going to write. I must be so ramped up for the impending release of the new iPhone that I had iOS on the brain. My bad. :-)
3) In all the time this discussion has been alive (over a year), and in all my googling, I never read about an option to contact iTunes support and ask them to remove this limit from my account. It is too bad you didn't come to this discussion when it started in May of 2011 to offer that piece of advice! Surprisingly, that information wasn't anywhere on the Apple site where I read about the $100/30 day limit. Maybe it is there now. But, it sure wasn't there when I read it. It would have been very helpful.
4) You say "(which they can do and often have done for many people here)." I am curious, what do you mean by "here." Not "here" as in "here in THIS discussion forum." Right? I don't see anyone in this discussion aware of that information and posting it for others to read. By "here" I assume you mean the ENTIRE Apple Support Community. Unfortunately, until you arrived on the scene, none of those from that gigantic "here" came across THIS discussion to share their good fortune and knowledge about removing the $100 limit on iTunes gift card purchases per 30 days.
Well, I think that wraps it up for another day. I am off to iTunes support to get this limit removed from my account.
Adios amigos!

HT201195 Redeeming an iTunes Gift Certificate in another store

Hey all,
I just sent a frient an iTunes gift certificate for a certain amount of money. However, it turns out my friend has an account associated with the US store, while mine is in another store; so when he tries to redeem it, he gets an error message saying this gift certificate isn't redeemable in his store.
What can I do about this?

REDEEMING GIFT CERTIFICATE-- LOST MUSIC! arrrgh

I see a similiar string but not precisely the same issue. Here goes!
I redeemed a gift certificate for the specific album that was gifted to me. I didn't remember my mac password right away and after a few tries, it asked me if I want help. I said 'no' and the download process did not complete (ie no new music in iTunes on my PC). I attempted passwd again and this time got it right... and went to redeem gift certificate again. This time, though-- it listed the goft cert code number and said it was already redeemed... and cannot be redeemed again. Well, I have searched both iTunes and on my PC (in general) and this album is definitely not on my computer. So iTunes store says I have it but I actually never completed the process... and now this music seems to be lost in limbo.
Any ideas here?? Am pulling my hair out over this (what little is left), I don't see anything like this listed in their online support, etc. Arrrgh!

My advice is to contact the iTunes store directly via their email support link. You can find this link when you're in iTunes and you click on the store and then the support link in the right-hand column. Pick a topic "lost music" or something similar and then at the bottom of this page will be an email link with your name and email address already filled in. Report your problem just as you've reported it here and see what they say.
As an aside, I also had a gift certificate that I tried to redeem but the song I wanted was no longer available. My account was charged $0.99. (They must take the money out before the song gets downloaded.) I decided it wasn't worth the effort to try to get back a $1 so I accepted the loss and moved on. A few days later, I'm happy to report, the $0.99 was credited back to my account. Apple discovered the mistake and corrected it without me having to do anything.

Gift certificate for Canadian friend

I bought an itunes gift certificate for my friend in Canada and she can't use it. Turns out it's only valid for U.S. citizens. When I log on to itunes Canada and try to buy a gift cert there, it takes me to my U.S. account music store so I'm in the same boat.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

ANything bought with US money on the store can only be used in US store you may want to check this link out and email apple about this to see if you can get your money back and see how to send a gift to your canadian friend http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/giftcertificate/

E-mail Gift Certificate To Yourself?

Is it possible with iTunes to send an e-mail Gift Certificate to yourself?
It sounds like a weird idea, but I'd like to put £10 credit on to my own account, without going out and having to buy a physical plastic card each time.

I have done this and it works.
I do it because I want to make sure I don't spend more than AU$50 a month. When you just use your credit directly for purchase it's not easy to see how much you are spending over a month. You get many small transactions on your card. If you do the email gift certificate then you can see at the top of the iTunes Store how much money you have left until next time you purchase another gift certificate.
You might want to check out whether any retailers do any specials. JB HiFi in Australia had a deal recently of 2 $30 iTunes Gift Cards for $50. Apparently they do this from time-to-time.
