Why is it that when I try to redeem my iTunes gift card it goes to a session timeout?

Every time I try to redeem my iTunes card it just sends me to a session time out.. Also, even when I try to create another account, it sends me to the same page telling me I have a session time out.
I don't know how to fix this.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

When i try to load the itunes introduction i only get: an error occured while processing this directive. What can i do!?

Hey there,
When i try to load the itunes introduction i only get: an error occured while processing this directive. What can i do!?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

You probably have run out of space, I would delete (or move to an external drive) things that aren't being used as much.

do you have the receipt from where you bought it? If so take it back and see what they will do for you.

When I try to buy an email Gift Card, I get a message that my account is not eligible. How do I change that?

Go here:

I had the same, frustrating problem, then happened onto a process that worked for me. I wrote it up in the following post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16900190#16900190
Hope that works for you, too.

When i try to redeem my itunes cards, i get a message that says my session has timed out--i updated to the latest version--still, no luck redeeming cards-help!

when i try to redeem my itunes cards, i get a message that says my session has timed out--i installed the latest version of itunes and tried again--no luck--what else can i do?

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

I try to redeem an iTunes GC and I get a "Session Has Timed Out" Message. The same thing happens when I try to download a song, after I'm taken to the SLA page

I try to redeem an iTunes GC and I get a "Session Has Timed Out" Message. The same thing happens when I try to download a song, after I'm taken to the SLA page. I sent Apple Support an email. They told me its software on my computer restricting access to my Internet Connection, but I haven't installed any new software since my last purchase from the iTunes Store. What can I do to fix this?!?! Thanks

Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

I'm trying to redeem my itunes gift card and i get the message "session timed out". does anyone know why i'm not able to redeem my card and why i get this message?

i'm trying to redeem my itunes gift card and i get the message "session timed out." does anyone know why i'm not able to redeem my card and why i get this message in stead?

I've been having the same issues too, and thought it was just my outdated computer or account?!
Every time I try to purchase a song, "session has timed out" shows up after I click "agree" to the terms!? I seem to be in the exact same scenario as 'SportsBarn' above: Itunes support have replied repeatedly with the same "solutions" but nothing has helped or even been applicable. I have an older laptop, 2005 Powerbook running OS X 10.4 Tiger so it's not compatible with the latest iTunes 10.5.2 which requires minimum OS X 10.5. I've been using the balance already in my iTunes account (from redeemed giftcards over the past few years) with no problem, until recently (my last successful purchase was October 2011). I wonder if it's the older OS or just a redemption glitch even with newer computers?

What you normally should do when you have an iTunes card that has not been activated is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, or you don't know or can't get to the retailer, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They will ask for a scan of the front and back sides of the card as well as a scan of the receipt
Regards.

Do you have to redeem your iTunes gift card every time you buy something? Or does it take money off the card automatically?

As far as I know redeeming a card simply adds the value to your account.
When I credit a gift card I get a credit appearing in my iTunes account.
Every time I buy something the cost is deducted from my 'iTunes credit', the card is no lobger needed or usable after redemption.
