Hi. Here are some steps you can try if you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card.


But, since you got the "Card is not activated" message, you're right -- going back to the store where you purchased it is the best option. The retailer who sold you the card may not have activated it.


If you need more help, contact Apple Support.


Good luck!
