Why can't I use my iTunes card balance to given an app?

Hi,
I have a balance from an iTunes card. I just sent an app as a gift, but iTunes forced me to use my credit card. Why can't I use my balance?
Thanx
Olivier

From the article from which you came:
Note: When purchasing an iTunes Gift, a valid credit card must be on file; you can't purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit.
Why Apple has this restriction I don't know, but many other download stores do as well.
Regards.

Why can't I use my iTunes gift card to purchase an app?

I received a $15 itunes gift card for my birthday and I redeemed the card on iTunes. The $15 is in my account but I can't use it to purchase an app for my mac at the app store. I heard other people had problems with the itunes and app store connections too. However, my friend had purchased an app with the itunes redeemed credit. Am I stuck being able to use it only for itunes purchases? Any answers?

This is incorrect.

Why can't I use my itune card I redeemed

Why can't I use a gift card I recieved to make itune purchases

What happens when you try to buy something, what are you trying to buy (you can't use your balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card) ?
If this is the first time that you've tried to buy something and you are being prompted to enter card details then unless you used the instructions on this page when creating it : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card after entering it.
Or, and if you are being prompted to review the account, then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
- then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Setting up iCloud family sharing. Why can I not use my iTunes as a valid payment method?

Why is iTunes card not a option under payment method. I am wanting to setup iCloud Family Sharing. But I need to give Apple a credit card which I do not have. That is why I use the iTunes card and redeem the money. If it is good enough to use iTunes card when making purchase from Apple iTunes store then why is it not an option when setting up iCloud Family Sharing account.

You're allowed play the music on up to 5 devices. Each device must be authorised. Unless you can connect the xbox to the apple store to be authorised, you will not be able to play the music on it.

Why can't I use an iTunes card to set up Family Sharing?

I am not at all happy that the new Family Sharing feature will not let me use an iTunes gift card and will only work if I use a credit card. Since the beginning of 2014, I just discovered iTunes charged my credit card with $1,500 erroneously. While this has been resolved in my favor, we decided to not put a credit card on our iTunes account and just use gift cards. I was delighted to discover family sharing since I have two small children, but was dismayed to find out I cannot set it up with my gift card. FIX THIS, APPLE!

First of all, we are fellow Apple users, not Apple.
second, you have options to limit family purchases, including in App by turning on the permissions function.
last, you can still add gift cards and iTunes will use those before charging a credit OR DEBIT card, see below....
Setting up Family Sharing
When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards. You can change the billing method on file in your account at any time in your iTunes & App Store account settings.

Why can't I use my Itunes gift card for iphoto booth purchase?

I created a Christmas card and I thought that I could use my itune gift card since I have an apple and everything is hooked up to it and it never allowed me to enter in my gift card number.. why?

Only Apple can answer a question like that, have you tried asking them?

Why can we not use available store credit to buy apps?

Recently I decided to stop using my credit card with the Apple iTunes store, as it seems that everytime I make the smallest purchase, I get dinged 2-3 times for the same purchase, then have to deal with Apple to get a refund for the over-billing ect.
I recently went out and bought a 100$ card and added it to my account. Worked great, been buying music left right and center, rented a bunch of movies. All great. Even love seeing my remaining balance right in iTunes.
Havent seen any problems except for the fact that you cannot use said store credit to send a gift to someone - you must bill it to your cc which is a pathetic move if you ask me. But no big deal.
But with the launch of the App store, I decided to try out an app or two.
I am using an iPod Touch.
Found a nice little solitaire game for 7.99$. A little pricey, but what the heck.
But again, you cannot use store credit to buy apps?
There is nothing I can find either on the site itself about the App store, or on iTunes, that says you can ONLY pay with Credit Card.
I should be allowed to buy anything that iTunes offers, with the card I bought.
Its called an iTunes Card. Not an iTunes Music Card. Not an iTunes Movies Card. Not an iTunes TV Shows Card.
iTunes Card.
That means if its available in my store (ie. Canadian), then I should be able to buy it plain and simple.
Apple, get your act together and get this fixed. Bad enough you let Rogers dictate the cost of the plans for the iPhone 2.0 Launch, and lost hundreds of customers before you even launched the **** thing - dont alienate customers who don't want to use credit cards on the store due to the terrible billing system you use.

You can give feed back to Apple from the iTunes drop-down menu in the iTunes menu bar..

Why can I not use my itunes purchased songs in idvd/imovie?

Upto about two months ago I had no problem adding itunes purchased songs in my idvd / imovie projects - now I cannot. A warning message comes up about needing to authorise the computer and although I am using the same mac as I did when purchasing the tracks I still go through the process of authorisation - the tracks are still not available.
I have just purchased an xbox 360 and when connecting my ipod my purchased songs are once again unavailble to play even though I can play them using my ipod in the normal way.
Any ideas would be very welcome, thanks!!

TS2446 If my iTunes account was shut down due to fraud activity why can I not use the same credit card if I choose to when I have no other way to pay

When I turned in my iTunes account b/c fraud activity had been detected while my iPhone was not working so they disenabled my iTunes account but I got my new apple id back to download free games but I can't use my debit card anymore and want to use the same card as that is the only access I have as a form of payment

Why can't I use my ITunes account balance to pay for a click wheel app?

I have a IPod Nano 4G and would like to download one of the click wheel apps and purchase it through my ITunes account but it seems to only allow payment with credit card. Why is this?

Hello Coastie53,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
That's just the way it is if you are trying to make the purchase from within the Canadian iTunes store. You are not allowed to use a gift card to purchase apps. As to why, that's just the rules for now. Sorry.
