Sorry, but a WalMart Gift Card is not an acceptable payment method on iPad. In order to purchase Apps from the App Store, you need to put in an actual credit card, issued in the country you live. iTunes whether you want to purchase music or not is part of the purchasing ecosystem and is tied to the App Store, to the iBooks Store, to Newstand, etc.


Go to Settings > Store


Tap on your Apple ID


Tap on Billing Information


Enter a valid credit card, with billing address, security code, expiration date (enter all required information)


Say Done when you are finished

I am just one year younger than you. Age is a frame of mind - as they say ..... If you care to keep up with it .... It's not so "new-fandangled".


I assume that you are talking about an iTunes Gift card, because a Wal-Mart gift card won't do squat on the iPad.

If you want to redeem the iTunes Gift Card in the app store - tap on the App Store icon. Then tap the Featured Tab in the bottom left corner of the screen - if you are not already in the Featured Tab. Swipe down to the bottom of the page and right in the center of the screen - tap on Redeem. You can enter your gift card code in there.


If you are not already signed into your Apple ID - you can tap on Sign in - just to left of the word Redeem.
