Transfer iTunes gift card to app store.

Can this be done? I don't want any music. I also thought these were unified servicces???
Thanks

I got it to work from his account on my phone...i.e. I signed in to the app store as him on my phone. I got it to work, but it was a bit convoluted. I still got the same request for the verification code. I put in the code and then it asked if I still wanted to buy the game. I said no. I went back and tried to buy it again and (I can't remember if it asked for my son's password or not) and it worked. I saw the deduction in the balance too for verification.
I did later find an article with this at the very bottom. Maybe that was it all the time???
Additional information may be requested for verification purposes.

Thanks for your time with this...

  • Question about iTunes Gift cards and App store.

    Well, I need to get some apps for my dad's iPhone 3GS, and the problem is, that I don't have a credit card or paypal account. I can buy an iTunes gift card to get those apps but, my doubt is, with those gift cards, can I buy apps for the iPhone despite the fact that my Apple ID account is from Mexico, and not from the US?

    You cannot buy anything from the U.S. itunes store unless you are in the U.S. and have a valid address in the U.S. and credit card tied to that address.

  • How to use iTunes gift card in App Store

    My kids each just got an iPod touch with a gift card to iTunes ......how can they each purchase apps and things from iTunes while using my apple account? We redeemed the gift cards but I don't think it's set up right because the app price wasn't deducted from the credit total. I think my credit card will be charged instead of the iTunes gift card....

    A gift card balance is supposed to be used before the CC is charged. All you can do is contact iTunes by:

  • Itunes gift cards, and app store?

    I just recently added a $25 iTunes gift car to my account, then rented a movie for $4.99. Now I'm trying to buy os x mountain lion from the Appstore on my computer for $19.99. It keeps telling me insufficient remaining store credits. How can i fix this? or why is it telling me this?

    If you are in the US store, you are not allowing for the local sales tax that is added to the sale in the final steps.

    Did you allow for Local Taxes ?
    If not... your iTunes Account my be showing that Money is owed.
    No one here can see your Account Info as this is a User to User Forum.
    Suggest you Contact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance
    Use this Link  >  Apple  Support  iTunes Store  Contact
    OR... add another couple of Dollars to your Card and try the Purchase again.

  • How can I use a gift card on App Store?

    How can I use a gift card on App Store?

    If it's an iTunes gift card, as opposed to an Apple Store gift card (which can only be used in Apple stores and the Apple online store), then you can redeem it onto your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
    And as long as you are buying content for yourself (you can't use an account's balance for gifting content) then your balance should be automatically used for your purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

    Hi..
    Try resetting your iPad >    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try purchasing an app.
    To see the balance, type this web address in the Safari menu bar:   http://store.apple.com/us/account/home
    When the page opens, click:  Check the balance of a gift card
    Keep in mind, the total purchase price may include any applicable taxes or fees >   iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

  • 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.

  • Using Apple Store Gift Card at App Store

    I want to buy something from the APP Store, but I only have an Apple Store gift card. Is there some way to use by Apple store gift card to buy and iTune gift card?

    Unfortunatly, you can't use your Apple gift cards in the App Store. But, you can go into your local Apple Store and buy iTunes/App store gift cards with you Apple gift card.

  • Gift card/pages/app store

    Hi people, So I have been given a apple gift card buy a friend so thought I would buy pages I signed in and clicked download.  It downloaded and that's it, why has it not tried to charge me?  Don't get me wrong if it's free I'm happy but that can't be the case.
    Any ideas?

    The way one redeems a gift card is to use the Redeem link in either the iTunes Store or the MAS. Then follow the on screen instructions.
    An iTunes Gift Card also has the instructions for how to use on the back.
    If you had redeemed the gift card before attempting your purchase then the store would have used the gift card credits first and only charged the bank card for any excess amount not covered by the gift card credit.
