Why can't I set up an account for my 7 year old to redeem his gift card? Is there a way I can put it on my account but NOT use it for my purchases?

My 7 year old received a gift card, but I cannot set up an iTunes account for him to use it. When I redeem it on my account, a credit is given to my account against all purchases, including my own. If I want to purchase a song now, it will use HIS gift card to do it. I can't see any way to sidestep it so that I can charge my credit card until the credit on my account is all used up. I would like him to have his own account with the gift card so that I do not end up using it. Any way to do this?

Unfortunately, the minimum age is 13 for an iTunes account.

If it doesn't then you could try contacting iTunes support as it says at the bottom of the page.

I used to have the iPhoto application and for some reason it is now gone. Do I have to pay 14.99 in order for me to be able to have it again or is there a way I can get it back. I have a MacBook pro 10.9.5 .

Depends on what you had
If you had iPhoto version 9.5.1 then you can reinstall from the app store under purchases
If you had any version of iPhoto '11 then you can install for free from the App store
If you had any earlier version of iPhoto (iPhoto '09 version 8.x.x) or older then you need to purchase iPhoto '11 version 9.x.x from the app store
If you had iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) or older then you also need to download and run the iPhoto library upgraded prior to launching the new iPhoto

I just broke my iPhone 5 and can't see the screen. I haven't backed up my iPhone to iCloud yet. Is there a way I can remotely back it up so I can restore my new phone (once I get it) faster?

If you plug your phone into your computer you can sync and backup so that when you get the new phone you can restore from a backup instead of setting it up as a new iphone

You will need to restore your iPod from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't sync then you will need to try recovery mode.

I just got the new iphone 5c and im trying to set it up and get my apps and stuff but it wont let me download like the free apps without a card, is there a way i can download the apps without a card?

im trying to download apps, do i have to use a credit card even for the free ones?

If you have an existing ID, but no credit card to associate with your account, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a NEW ID by following the directions here:

I can't access the App Store without a credit card or gift card is their a way i can do it without those

I can't access the App Store without a credit card or gift card can i not use one

Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

I just redeemed a $25 gift card. My previous credit amount left in the account was $1.17. After I redeemed my gift card the balance said $25. How do I get help with this?

Why did my previous balance in iTunes disappear after I redeemed a new gift card?

HT201209 I had $17 in my account, then attempted to add $25 by redeeming a gift card. After redeeming the gift card, my account should have shown a balance of $42. However, my account only shows a balance of $25. What do I do?

Any suggestions will be very helpful.

You can't log into any site and see your account's balance. You can log into your account on your iPad via Settings > iTunes & App Store - on my iOS devices my balance shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to). You may not see anything if your account's balance is zero.
Not sure what you mean by relationship iTunes has to products. You can buy music, films, TV shows, audiobooks via the iTunes app on your iPad, and apps via the App Store app - what you buy will be tied to your iTunes account.

Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC?

Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC and ensure that it is synced automatically? For example, if I add or modify a file in that folder it should be added to iTunes automatically. At the same time the original files in the folder should not be re-organized. That is can I just point to a music folder in my hard drive and sit back for iTunes to do the rest?

Why when I redeemed a gift card on my ipad and rented a film was I charged from my account and not the card?

I was given a gift card and on the back it said I should go to music on my device and to the bottom of the page and click redeem. I did and entered the number on the card. I then went to films to rent a film and have received a receipt for a payment taken from my card. What did I do wrong? Is it indeed worth having these gift cards if I don't want to download music?

I have the same problem as I first redeemed my gift card on my ipad and I can see the credit through itunes, but when I tried to purchase an app for my mac it appeared that my gift card has already been redeemed. The App Store gift card said it can be used on downloading any apps to iPad, iPhone, Mac.
Can anyone helps me out here?!! Thank you.

Getting session has timed out while trying to redeem a gift card. have had no problem in the past. am running a g4 since 2002 with os 10.4 and itunes 9. have no internet problems and can connect to store ok. so far apple no help keeps blaming it on othrs

am having trouble for the first time trying to redeem a gift card.

Is there a way you can see the Time Capsule in OS 9?

I am setting up a time capsule for a client for his PC/Mac Business, he has 2 Windows based PCs that run XP, one intel iMac running Tiger, and one Dual 1.25GHz G4 running an OS9 app that he needs for his business.
Is there a way you can get the time capsule volume to mount inside of OS9???

There isn't even a way to connect to the IP from OS 9, and transfer files to it manually?
