Enter the code then click Redeem.

If you want a refund, take it back where you bought it.
As for the rest of your question, until you give us something resembling useful information, like what EXACTLY the problem is, and what error message(s) you're getting, we can't even begin to guess.

HT1541 Why can't I use store credit to gift apps?

I have money on my Apple ID and want to gift apps. I don't want to register a credit card. Why can't I use my store credit to gift?

I went to the specific trouble of creating a user account here just to express how idiotic that answer is..
Some people don't have credit cards, that's why we use apple gift cards to up our balance in the first place.
Lovely how this isn't possible..

HT201303 I downloaded the game Bookworm on my i pad but this game is not playable only on the i phone. Is there a chance I can get credit on my i tunes gift card?

I downloaded the game Bookworm on my i pad and realized you can only play it on a i phone. Is there a chance i can get a credit from my i tunes gift card?

If it's this app, Bookworm, then its description says that it should work on an iPad, though it's optimised for the smaller iPhone/iPod Touch sized screen

Why can't i use "INNER JOIN" in a query for SQL Server with JDBC??????

Hi,
I'm trying to execute some SQL queries and I just don't understand what's wrong.
I�m using Tomcat and SQL Server in order to do this, but when I�m try to execute a query with a INNER JOIN statements Tomcat raise a SQL exception... at the very first time I thought there was a problem with database connection but I realize that a simple query to a table works pretty well. then I found out some problems with JDBC:ODBC.... so I install JDBC for SQL Server 2000 and test with the same simple query and works..... so, I come to a conclusion.... INNER JOIN or JOIN statements can't be used in JDBC..... please... somebody tell I�m wrong and give me a hand...
I'm using TOMCAT 4 and JDK 1.4 SQL Server 2000
Error occurs when executeQuery() is called.... not prepareStatement().... ??????
Driver DriverRecResult = (Driver)Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
Connection ConnRecResult = DriverManager.getConnection(DSN,user,password);
PreparedStatement StatementRecResult = ConnRecResult.prepareStatement(query);
ResultSet RecResult = StatementRecResult.executeQuery(); <---- Exception raise here
So much tahnks in advance,

That's exactly what I think, driver it's raising the exception, but I don't know why.... i test the same query with INNER JOIN directly from SQL Query Analyser and it's works perfectly, my problem ain't SQL, but JSP and JDBC 'cause i'm a newbie about these issues.
Common sense tell me possible problems lie in SQLServer drivers 'cause i run the same pages on JRUN through jdbc:odbc and do works well, but by now i just depend on Tomcat.....
I've installed SQL Server drivers for JDBC but i just find it doesn't work fully... could be the version of JDK i've installed? what version do i need?
( I'm running Tomcat 4 with JDK 1.4 & SQL Server 2000 W2K )
thanks for reply.

Why can't you use a pre-paid credit card on your itunes account?

i tried using apre paid credit card for my itnunes account to purchase songs and it won't let me

Wonder why an Apple person told me this would work??
Apple should read this stuff once in a while.
Some prepaid cards appear to act as credit cards to the merchant. If yours is one of them it should work, but debit cards are not accepted for the iTunes Store.
Can you use a pre-paid credit card from Wal-Mart?
Do you mean an iTunes Card, the kind sold at Wal-Mart? Sure, that will work.
"Pre-paid" and "credit" are mutually exclusive.
I believe this way of thinking about it ought to be valid: if you need a PIN code, the card won't work.
I don't use debit cards so I can't be certain if this will apply consistently, but let me know if that makes sense.

HT201209 Can two iphones use the same itune gift card?

My husband and I are new to iphones, and would like to purchase one itunes gift card and both use it on our iphones. I have an apple id set up, he does not yet have one. Can we share an itunes account if we have different apple id's?

Related question... I have read mixed reviews on whether or not families with multiple apple products should have a single or many apple ids. This site is interesting... http://gigaom.com/apple/how-many-apple-ids-should-your-family-have/comment-page- 2/
Is there a general consensus on this issue? Since my husband has not yet set up an apple id, this is the time we need to decide.
Thanks so much!

How do I use a I tunes gift card tom pay for apps?

I cannot seem to find a way to apply a itunes gift card to my account. There does not seem to be an option for the gift card, only for credit cards. I have been told these gift cards could be used to buy apps. Please help me figure out what I am missing???

Click on the word "Redeem" at the bottom center of the App Store screen.

How to use gift card for app store once redeemed? Tells me I can only use credit cards so how do I get to the gift card option

I'm trying to buy a game using a gift card but the only options that come up are ones for credit cards. It says redeem giftcard but I have already done this, so when I try this option again it says that this gift card as already been redeemed which is obvious as I did it earlier, so where is the buy game with gift card on the app store?!?!?!?!?!?!

The iTunes/Mac App Stores use the credit from a gift card first, but if the credit doesn't cover the full total the system asks for a credit card. The US store's prices don't include the local sales taxes, so if the system is asking for a card, then your total most likely is exceeding the amount of your gift card credit.

Why can I not use more then one sim card with my iphone?

I want to use different service providers.

Why is unlocking the iphone an issue?
It's not, if you bought your iPhone from a provider that offers unlocking.
AT&T have made a business decision to lock iPhones they sell to their network. That is their policy, and they haven't changed it for anyone. That is their decision.
If, for instance, you had bought your iPhone from O2 in the UK, you would've been able to get it unlocked, as O2 have made a business decision to offer unlocking to their customers if they want it.
Different mobile networks around the world have different policies on:
a) whether to sell the phone locked or unlocked to their customers
b) whether to offer after-sales unlocking as a service to their customers
Also, in some countries there are laws governing the locking and unlocking of phones. Networks have to abide be these local laws too.
Unfortunately, you didn't do any research on AT&T's policies before buying your iPhone for their network, which is why you are in this predicament.
Your only option is to sell your iPhone and buy one for the country you want to use it in.
