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.

HT3702 Is there any way to use a pre-paid Visa card with my iTunes account?
I just received a prepaid Visa card as a gift and tried to use this card as payment info on my iTunes account. This didn't work, I suspect because there is no billing address associated with the card. Is there any way to use the card like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you put the balance that you have redeemed off of a card onto your iTunes account back onto the same/new card ? I do not wish to use this balance and have not deducted from the original balance and wish to put back on to the card.
Only the iTunes Store staff can. Click here and request assistance.

Why can't I use a pre paid sim in my iphone that previously had a plan
I have given my iphone 3g to my daughter and she is unable to use hervodaphone pre paid sim card in it.
is it locked to telstra ?
Is it because I was previously on a plan?Is this a MasterCard credit card issued to you by a bank in the country in which you legally reside, a MasterCard debit card issued to you by a bank in the country in which you legally reside in connection with a demand deposit account (checking/savings) that you maintain in that bank and have a verifiable billing address in that same country or is this a prepaid MasterCard debit card that you bought from a local store?

i would really like help fixing it because it still has a 25$ itunes card
If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account. -
Why can't you use the ellipsis 7 as a phone since verizon assigns it a phone number
Why can't you use the ellipsis 7 as a phone since Verizon does assign it a phone number.
The phone number is for the line of service only. There isn't a dialer application nor is there a CDMA radio in it for voice calls.

Can you pay for CC aubscription with a pre-paid credit card?
I'm interested in buying the Photoshop CC Photography Program and a single app subscription to Illustrator CC. I've never liked the idea of keeping a credit cards on file with any vendor and am even more reluctant after the recent security problems. Would it be possible to use a pre-loaded Credit card with enough funds to cover the term of the year long subscription instead? At least then if the card is stolen it can't be linked to my real cards and other private information.

You can go for keycard Creative Cloud subscription which can be purchased from Amazon:
Some news & updates:
Amazon no longer carries the CC prepaid key cards; they stopped selling them a couple months ago...
However, places like BestBuy.com do still offer them – for the standard Creative Cloud subscriptions as well as the student/teacher editions, plus single-apps like Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC. They also accept PayPal.
What's more, starting this week Adobe itself now has a new prepay option available for Creative Cloud memberships, where you can pay them once annually (instead of monthly) and don't have to leave your credit card on file if you don't want to.
Hope this helps! -
HT2534 can you use paypal instead of credit card for iTunes
just got an Ipad & am trying to download apps but can't as I need to give credit card details. Can you use paypal instead of credit card?
Sad but true, I've tried to pay for iTunes Match with my credit and couldn't because it's a subscription service, regardless the credit amount I have. The system ask me to pay with my credit card too.
How are Family Sharing purchases billed?
When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card.

ITunes gift card and Pre-paid credit card in Canada
So I recently bought a 2Gen iTouch and wanted to buy some apps. I bought a iTunes gift card. I set up a iTunes account and went through all the proccess's and redeemed my gift card. It said successful and promted me with my account balance. I tried buying a app and was promted with enter credit card information. I don't have one. But i read the forums and found out that i cannot buy applications in canada, only music and videos.
So now i have non-refundable money on my account with the sole purpose of getting applications. Now my question is that if i get a Pre-paid credit card from anywhere will it work? or does it have to be an actual Master card/Visa?"So there is no way to buy apps with the itunes card?"
Not in Canada.

Ihave a $70 credit in my itunes account but when I purchased an album last night itunes charged my credit card, not my itunes account. How do I get this reversed
How did you create the account ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you are being prompted to review the account then see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will need to enter your credit card details - you should be able to remove it after entering it. -
I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?
All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?
