Yesterday evening, Apple held a special celebration for iTunes in the Russian capital, Moscow, in which it announced the launch of the iTunes store in 56 countries, including Arab countries for the first time such as Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Jordan, and announced the availability of many other services in stores of some countries Such as i-tunes cards
The iTunes store is the largest library of audio files and songs, which are things that contradict our beliefs, but it is also considered good news for us because the launch of the iTunes store is also owned by the provision of iTunes cards in the Saudi and Emirati stores, and thus residents of the two countries will be able to open accounts in their countries and purchase applications without the need for a card Visa, previously, a large number of users were forced to open US accounts and buy iTunes cards to deal with this account. To buy an iTunes card in the Saudi or Emirati store, do the following steps:
Open the iTunes app and on the home page, you will find Buy iTunes Gifts as follows:
By clicking on it, several options will appear for you to purchase the cards, as follows:
Electronic Card: Email Gift Certificates With this option, you can send an iTunes card as a gift to a friend and receive it as an email:
You can choose the value of the card 50-100-200-400 riyals / dirhams. You will be asked to write your name and the name of the recipient as well as the email to which the card will be sent to him as it appears in the following picture:
You will see a confirmation message as follows:
After completing the purchase, your friend will receive an email from Apple containing a code with the value that I sent you.
Printed Card: It is sending a paper iTunes card, not an electronic one, like the previous option:
Write your name and the name of your receiving friend and choose the amount, then type a message that you want to appear on the card and press Continue, and a confirmation message will appear for you containing the shape of the card.
Monthly expense: Apple added it, and it is the possibility of setting an expense for children, so instead of the father controlling the purchases of his children, Apple added the possibility for a father to give his children a monthly amount that they can use to buy what they want
You can choose an amount ranging from 10 to 50 riyals / dirhams and it will be deducted every month from your balance and given to the person you choose, and this person can buy whatever applications he wants, just write your name and the recipient’s name and choose whether you want to send the amount from now or from the beginning of the next month and then type The recipient's Apple account, as well as a personal message from you to him, then send the card
Important Notes:
- If your account is Saudi / Emirati and you send a card to a friend whose account is in a store other than the one from which you received the card, he will not be able to use it.
- The expense service “Allowance” will deduct a monthly balance from your account and continuously from your account until you stop it.
- The advantage of buying cards is available in the Saudi and Emirati stores, but it is expected that Apple will soon provide it to the rest of the Arab countries where the iTunes store is available, and they are, as we mentioned, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, Qatar and Jordan.
- So far, Apple has provided the audio store and has not yet made available the iBookstore.
- Note that if you recharge your balance with an iTunes card, you cannot gift an application to your friend, and still gifting applications is from the visa balance only and not to the balance coming from the cards.
- If you transfer your account from the US to Saudi / Emirati, all the applications that you previously purchased will disappear and you will have to buy them again. We do not recommend that you change your account, but create a new account if you want to use the cards in your country.
