Neither of them gave the answer. The second kind of.


The question: You don't have an Apple device yet

and want to redeem the gift card first, then buy an iPhone.

If you try to do it on apple.com, you eventually get to the message: "Connecting to the Mac App Store"

And nothing happening...



The first answer was go to :

How to redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes gift card - Apple Support


Ok, we go there...

Find: "Redeem a gift card on a Windows PC"

1 Open iTunes. Ok we there

2 From the menu bar at the top of the iTunes window, choose Account.

You do this, and you get the same place, like from apple.com

3 Choose Redeem.

And you will stack again with: "Connecting to the Mac App Store"


The second answer

The question of how to redeem on web when you don't have an iPhone, and he attached a video how to redeem from iPhone.

And I said this answer is kind of working because he attached the support contacts…

They can help, but they need the photo of the card, but you might have only the number.

Thanks for the informative reply; as I don’t run iTunes on my own Win PC I can’t duplicate.


However, what you describe certainly doesn’t seem to match what is described in the article.


Will attempt to “push this up the chain.”
