Why i can't redeem my gift card for itune

1. I got a gift card from TOUT, I live in Thailand but i realised the note on the back of the card that it's valid only on U.S. iTunes store.
I think that i should redeem my gift card and then i can purchase the items from U.S. store. Do i misunderstand something?
2. I tried to redeem from the application page because i can't open my iTune page. It's always pop up this to me "Cannot connect to iTunes store". I have tried in both of my iPad and iPhone but they only say in the same thing. Please suggest me.

In order to redeem a giftcard you need to have an account in the country where the giftcard came from - so US giftcards are only valid with US based iTunes accounts. And in order to use a country's store you need to have a valid address in that country and be in that country when making a purchase.

    There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
    If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions then you can get them reset : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Yes you can redeem the card if it is a U.S. gift card, you have a U.S. based iTunes account and if you are using the U.S. stores on the iPad.
    On the iPad - Swipe to the bottom of the screen in the App Store or in iTunes and tap on Redeem. If you are using iTunes on your computer, you should see Redeem under Quick Links (i think that is where you will see it) after you sign into the store.

  • HT201209 We have a gift card for iTunes that was purchased in the United States and we live in Canada and iTunes won't allow us to redeem it. Is there any way we can exchange it?

    We have a gift card for iTunes that was purchased in the United States and we live in Canada and iTunes won't allow us to redeem it. Is there any way we can exchange it?

    Sorry, but as KP guessed, Apple will not exchange the card, and you are correct that you can't use a US iTunes card in Canada. You will need to give or sell it to someone in the US.
    Regards.

  • How can I redeem my gift card if I don't own a credit card

    How can i redeem my gift card if I do not own a credit card?

    Whether a credit card needs to be entered onto an account depends upon how you created 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 your account then you could see if the instructions on 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 create a new account, and follow the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • Can I use one gift card for two apple ID at the same time?

    Can I activate one gift card for two different apple ID and use amount from gift card like bank account?

    No, an iTunes gift card can only be redeemed onto one account, and it can be used to buy content for that account (you can't, for example, redeem it on an account and then use some of it for gifting content to another account).

  • ITunes:  I just redeemed a gift card in iTunes and then rented a movie.  I want it charged to the gift card but think that it was charged to my credit card.  How do I ensure the charges are against the gift card?

    iTunes:  I just redeemed a gift card in iTunes and then rented a movie.  I want it charged to the gift card but think that it was charged to my credit card.  How do I ensure the charges are against the gift card?

    I took this straight from the help menu.
    You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
    Hide 
    Use an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or iTunes Gift Card
      If you aren’t already signed in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In at the top of the iTunes Store window. 
      Below Quick Links, click Redeem, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    The amount in your account appears to the left of your account name. When you click the Buy button to make purchases, the amount changes to show how much money remains in your account.
    You can use a gift certificate only in the iTunes Store for the same country in which the certificate was purchased.
