How to use my iTunes gift card without having to verify my billing information?
I just got the iPhone 5. Prior to this, I had the iPhone 4 and I accessed my iTunes account from that. Then I started using my iTunes account from my dad's computer. Out of the blue, it started telling me that I couldn't even download a free app without verifying my billing information. I tried doing this, but the security code on my dad's card wouldn't work. Shouldn't I be able to use my gift card without having to verify my billing information?
Go to your billing information on itunes and select none for credit card
They require a credit card as a back up even if you only download the free apps.once you enter a valid CC number, you'll be able to use your gift card
- Why does the App Store want to know my billing information if the app is free? On my iPhone 4s, I try to download an app from the app store, first it'll ask for my password which is normal, and I put it all in correct but then it'll redirect me to my billing information/payment method and ask me to fill it out. I can't remember what my prepaid security number is because I haven't had it in so long so I can't do it. But the apps I try to download are completely free so I don't understand why this would happen. Is there anyway to fix this?
- Why do i need billing information on iphone app store? So the other day i bought an app with my moms credit card and it went through fine but now i can't downlod any free apps it pops up red and says enter billing info, but its free? Befor i bought the app i could always doenload free stuff without doing that?
- ITunes Gift card instead of Credit Card? I found some things that i have been wanting on the iTunes store but i do not have a credit card registered with my account. If i were to buy an iTunes gift card, would that work in lieu of the credit card requirement? Also, the apps that i want to get are for the iPhone. Would buying an app with the gift card affect the plan with the phone in any way?
- If I get someone an iTunes gift card, can they use it to buy movies and then watch those movies on AppleTV? I haven't really been able to find a practical answer on any Apple site or forum. My brother buys & rents a lot of movies via his AppleTV. I want to get him an iTunes gift card but am not sure if buying movies on the AppleTV works through iTunes. Would an iTunes gift card work for this purpose? I know it may have to be redeemed on a phone/computer but I want to know if it can then be used on the AppleTV.
