Q: I need help I try to purchase music. I have money in my account. I press redeem,but itunes asks me for a code. why do I have to supply a code when I already have money in my account?

Can anyone show how to access the money in my account so I can make a purchase?

    Hi backpacker1952,

     

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

     

    If you already have an iTunes Gift balance on your account, you can browse and buy music like you would if you were paying with a credit card. You may find the information in this article helpful:

    You use the Redeem link when you want to redeem an iTunes Gift (like an app someone purchased for you) or add an additional iTunes Gift Card to your account. See this article for more information:
