AppStore and iTunes store are essentially the same for purposes of those 
card;  so long as it's not the Apple Store card which is Apple's online 
store to buy the  real hardware object.  Bet the previous card could have 
bought an appstore voucher for the sake of knowing how.  The buyer is going

OK.  Is the card I want an actual App store card or an iTunes card? I want
it for buying apps, and no, not quite enough to get an iPad or mini, but
more than I put in my list so figure he was making it birthday and Christmas
which are in the same month for me.

Hi Rob and List,

I believe what you are referring to is an App Store card. These can be
purchased at many discount stores, etc. If you have an Apple Online Store
gift card, this is not the same kind of card. The Apple Online store
features computers, phones, IPads, accessories and whatnot. It is the online
counterpart to the physical Apple Stores. The App store is the site you go
to for apps and music and books. In other words, there's a confusing
distinction between *App Store* and *Apple Online Store*.

I
 had no idea, and he was looking at the computer.  I do not want an Apple

they

 When we buy themoff the local store, the only important bit is the long

 If email got too involved in the buy and send process, there's no telling

2012-11-24 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I can see where these store sprang up separately for different types of
products, and that they're probably managed by different organizations
inside Apple. This would make it hard for them to merge in a sense and
allow the same gift cards to honored across all stores. I wouldn't say
it couldn't happen though. If it makes it easier for Apple to separate
us from your money, I can see where they would be motivated to overcome
these logistics. It's only software after all!

Hello all:
So, if we fix the card or if it is correct, how do I put the number in the
phone and work with it to buy apps? Detail, please.  Also, my friend says he
went to the Apple store to buy.  Should he actually go to the App store?  He
is buying off the computer running Windows, and this is the first time he
has had anything to do with Apple so we are both in the dark about this.
Thank you all for any help.

When we buy themoff the local store, the only important bit is the long
redeem nubmer;  that's all you needed, that is all you put in the redeem
dialogue;  and maybe confirm your own id with your own password so it
credits your account.

If email got too involved in the buy and send process, there's no telling

the email shouldn't ahve a clue it was anything other than a phone or  any
long number.

A puzzler!

The apple gift card I was supposed to receive has arrived.  It has a pin and
a password, but the email says it cannot be redeemed in iTunes.  I only want
to use it in the app store.  If it can be redeemed in the app store, do I
take out my apple ID and password and put in the ones in the email? Oh I
hope not.  First time I have gotten a gift card.  Can someone explain how I

Does he actually need to buy an iTunes card? Sorry for all the questions.  I
had no idea, and he was looking at the computer.  I do not want an Apple
store card but a card to be able to buy apps.  Hoping if he calls Apple they
can set him in the right direction, but he was directed to the Apple store

Re: gift card says redeemable in apple store and how to redeem in app store

2012-11-22 Thread Rob Harris
I bought the last gift card at the local supermarket store.  All you need is 
the long code number.

I did detail where to put it a couple days back - appstore/featured/  right 
to the end, tap redeem button, do what it says;  the main bit being give it 
the long number.

The apple gift card I was supposed to receive has arrived.  It has a pin and
a password, but the email says it cannot be redeemed in iTunes.  I only want
to use it in the app store.  If it can be redeemed in the app store, do I
take out my apple ID and password and put in the ones in the email? Oh I
hope not.  First time I have gotten a gift card.  Can someone explain how I
redeem, please.  Thank you for any help that is given, and have a great

Her card says something about a password and a pin, which leads me to
believe its' for the apple online store, and not the iTunes store, or any of
it's variants.

I bought the last gift card at the local supermarket store.  All you need is
the long code number.

I did detail where to put it a couple days back - appstore/featured/  right
to the end, tap redeem button, do what it says;  the main bit being give it
the long number.

Re: gift card says redeemable in apple store and how to redeem in app store

2012-11-22 Thread David McLean
When you go to apple.com and decide on something to  purchase during the 
checkout process you will have the opportunity to enter your gift card number.  
This as far as I know is the only way to cash in an Apple gift card.

The redeem should finance both, it is all Apple.  I've bought an app, a

Does he actually need to buy an iTunes card? Sorry for all the questions.  I
had no idea, and he was looking at the computer.  I do not want an Apple
store card but a card to be able to buy apps.  Hoping if he calls Apple they
can set him in the right direction, but he was directed to the Apple store
not the App or iTunes store.

Re: gift card says redeemable in apple store and how to redeem in app store

2012-11-22 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi Rob and List,

I believe what you are referring to is an App Store card. These can be 
purchased at many discount stores, etc. If you have an Apple Online Store gift 
card, this is not the same kind of card. The Apple Online store features 
computers, phones, IPads, accessories and whatnot. It is the online counterpart 
to the physical Apple Stores. The App store is the site you go to for apps and 
music and books. In other words, there's a confusing distinction between *App 
Store* and *Apple Online Store*.

HtH,
Teresa

Sorry about that. The way my messages were threaded wasn't conducive to my 
reading them all before posting a comment, which I normally do.

 Hi Rob and List,
 
 I believe what you are referring to is an App Store card. These can be

 gift card, this is not the same kind of card. The Apple Online store features 
 computers, phones, IPads, accessories and whatnot. It is the online 
 counterpart to the physical Apple Stores. The App store is the site you go to 
 for apps and music and books. In other words, there's a confusing distinction 
 between *App Store* and *Apple Online Store*.

 Does he actually need to buy an iTunes card? Sorry for all the questions.  I
 had no idea, and he was looking at the computer.  I do not want an Apple
 store card but a card to be able to buy apps.  Hoping if he calls Apple they
 can set him in the right direction, but he was directed to the Apple store
 not the App or iTunes store.

 Hi,
 
 The card you got is for the apple online store, not the iTunes store, or any
 of it's variants.

 Hello all:
 So, if we fix the card or if it is correct, how do I put the number in the
 phone and work with it to buy apps? Detail, please.  Also, my friend says he
 went to the Apple store to buy.  Should he actually go to the App store?  He
 is buying off the computer running Windows, and this is the first time he
 has had anything to do with Apple so we are both in the dark about this.
 Thank you all for any help.
 Reggie

 When we buy themoff the local store, the only important bit is the long
 redeem nubmer;  that's all you needed, that is all you put in the redeem
 dialogue;  and maybe confirm your own id with your own password so it
 credits your account.
 
 If email got too involved in the buy and send process, there's no telling
 what it's done to ahve those.  The sender only needed to send the number,
 the email shouldn't ahve a clue it was anything other than a phone or  any
 long number.

 The apple gift card I was supposed to receive has arrived.  It has a pin and
 a password, but the email says it cannot be redeemed in iTunes.  I only want
 to use it in the app store.  If it can be redeemed in the app store, do I
 take out my apple ID and password and put in the ones in the email? Oh I
 hope not.  First time I have gotten a gift card.  Can someone explain how I
 redeem, please.  Thank you for any help that is given, and have a great
 Thanksgiving in the U.S.

example.
