    Why do you keep making multiple posts with this issue? You have now posted it three times in the last hour and have two different people helping you in two different threads!

  • Buying apps with gift card?

    Hi,
    It is possible to buy an Itunes Gift Card and use it to download apps for my Iphone rather than music? I didn't want to register using my Credit Card # for an Itunes account, so thought i'd try a gift card, will it work, or is it only for music and not app store? I have credit in my account balance at top right of Itunes but cannot get it to work.
    thanks.

    Microsoft points are not represented or classified as a gift card.
    Why would Apple on their own NOT want people to use gift cards to purchase apps. "Oh please Canadians, we have enough money we don't want yours so we won't let you buy any apps."
    If you do a search here, or on Google, someone at one time posted a link to the applicable statutes.

  • HT1918 The cc on my acct doesn't have the $ to buy an app that I want but my account has $50.00 credit. Why can't I purchase the app with gift card?

    The cc on my acct doesn't have the $ to buy an app that I want but my account has $50.00 credit. Why can't I purchase the app with gift card?

    It says there is a problem with my payment information and prompts me to change payment info but I am only able to change it to another type of cc not gift card balance

  • Can´t update pre installed iPhoto version 9.1.5 to 9.2 because in App Store is said i have to login with the ID I bought iPhoto! I did not buy iPhoto with any ID because it was already preinstalled!

    Did you try re-installing OS x Lion? That was the solution for me. Just make a back up with time machine and then restart your mac and during restart press ALT. Then you'll acces the support screen and there you can reinstall OS X lion on your macintosh HD.
    This was the solution the people from Apple support gave me and afterwards I could download the update perfectly.

  • HT201209 Entered iTunes card and it says card was already redeemed

    Entered iTunes code and it says card was already redeemed

    Same problem discussed here (as well as a link to a video of the problem happening).  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3783681?start=0&tstart=0
    It is a valid and important problem but it would seem Apple are deciding to ignore it.  I can understand them asking to see a receipt but as you have said, when buying them as gifts for people it is highly unlikely that you will keep said receipt.  You automatically expect the card to work!! 
    Kick up a fuss with your local Consumer Protection organisation.  Get in touch with your local press and explain the problem to them.

  • If I can't buy apps with ituned card in Canada - how do I get my money back

    I don't want the cards if I can't use them to buy apps, so how do I get my money back? They sell the cards with the presumption that you can use them to buy anything thru itunes but after they are redeemed and you try to use them, they don't work! I want a refund!

    your out of luck
    use them to buy Music, Movies, TV, or audio books
    it is well covered on the net and in the TOU for iTunes Canada and in Apple online store (iTunes section).

  • Why can't i buy anything with gift card balance on authorized computer

    I have gotten another computer. My son is using the one that I had put the gift cards on.  I am trying to redeem the balance I have to buy songs but it won't allow me to do it.  I haven't been able to find any answer to my question.  Is anyone about to help me???

    Perhaps if you provide more detail than just "won't allow me" someone can offer suggestions. As it is, you've not given us anything like enough information on which to do more than guess.
    Regards.

  • Can't buy update with gift card

    It keeps asking me for my credit card information even though I have a balance of 15.00$. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    I suspect you live in Canada. iTunes gift cards can only be used for music & video in Canada. Apps need a credit card.

  • HT1918 How do I make a payment with an Itunes gift card I already redeemed

  • Even if my iTunes card was already redeemed how can I still use it because money is still on it

    I'm trying to use my iTunes card that has money on it but it was already redeemed

    What exactly are you trying to do and what happens when you do it ?
    If the card has been redeemed then its remaining amount should be on your account, the card itself is now effectively zero - you can't redeem a card twice. If you still have a balance on your account, you are buying for yourself (you can't use a balance for gifting) and it covers the price of the purchase (if you are in the US then you have to add on your state's sales tax to an item's listed price) then you should be able to buy items with it without needing further payment details.

  • Trying to buy songs with paypal, but says I am using my credit Card

  • I have just bought a App Store gift card and I redeemed it. When I was going to buy an app that cost money a notification popped up that said I need to answer my security questions. I made my account a long time ago and have forgotten the answers

    I forgot the answers to my security questions so I sent the email to my rescue email to reset the questions. I got the email and pressed Verify Now and it redirected me to the apple site where I would put in my Apple ID and password. I put it in correctly as I have checked that I'm using the right ID and password. I have even reset my password just in case I had put in my old one wrong. everytime it still says I have an invalid adress (which it is obviously not) and I don't know what to do. I don't want to waste the money I just put into my account.

    It sounds like a cred hold was placed on your account for the free apps.  See:
    iTunes Store: About credit-card authorization holds
    I would wait until you get the email receipt(s) for your purchases.  If yu were charge more than you think then:

  • Won't let me buy apps with credit card

    Every time I try to buy an app it says that the session timed out. I'm connected to a credit card. It won't let me download the app.

    What does "it won't let me mean"? It's much more helpful if you actually tell us what is happening when you try to use the card.
    Did you redeem the card properly in the App Store or in iTunes  - at the bottom of the screen in the main tab of either app?
