Can I purchase a iTunes gift certificate to send to an email address via the iTunes app and not via the desktop?

It would be super convenient to be able to purchase the gift certificate via email option from the iPhone using the iTunes app or even the Apple Store app so the recipient receives immediately but I don't see that this is possible.  I also can't see my purchase history without logging into the computer. This seems super odd for apple not to provide all options from the iPhone directly so I must be overlooking something. At this time of the year and with the economy as bad as it is, I'm not too keen to send gift cards in the mail!
Thanks much for the help.

I got a gift card that says "Itunes"on it and not "apple"or something like that...
I was wondering if that gift card can only be used on the itunes store, meaning I can only buy songs, tv shows, music videos , etc.. ...
That is Correct...

    Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
    Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

    First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
    Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

    Search for shared library is impossible, as far as I know.  Searches supported - are local and internet.

    What folder structure?
    If you're referring to how Aperture stores the originals in a managed library then the answer is you can't change it.
    If having the originals stored in a specific file structure is important to you you will need to switch to a referenced original setup.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.

    Have you looked on all the pages of your iPod?  Have you looked in all your folders?  Have you you tried finding the apps using the iPod's search page.

    I had a similar situation.  My credit card bill shows a charge on Sept 8 and Sept 9, both for $55.99.  I called Apple but they said that I was the victim of identity theft so I cancelled my credit card.  They have not refunded my money.

  • How can I find out the overall time and not only the time of a single clip?

    I have set up two cameras in one room. Both cameras record the same thing from different perspectives at the same time. I have found an interesting scene for video 1 (recorded by camera 1). Now I would like to find the time at which the interesting scene takes place in video 2.
    However, I have not seen any way to get displayed, at what time the scene starts in relation to the total length of the video (e.g: scene starts after 5 minutes from total 10 minutes).
    The indicated time refers only to a part of the clip and not to the overall project, even if a special clip is not selected. Does anyone know, how I can find out the time?

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup.  It will be shown just below the Back Up Now button at the bottom.

  • I purchased an iTunes gift certificate with my Canadian-based American Express card (I live there) and had it emailed as a gift to someone at a hotel in the U.S.; Now, he cannot seem to use it. Apple online said it is cause it's only usable in Canada! Wha

    I bought a gift certificate from iTunes, online, for someone travelling in the U.S. temporarily. He is a Canadian, I am a U.S. citizen, and I bought it using my Canda-based American express account, as I live in Canada.  Now he is told by Apple on the telephone that he cannot use the certificate to buy anything as it was purchased on a computer in Canada.  This seems utterly impossible!  Does Apple have walls between countries?  It seems to me that someone stuck in a hotel, with his iPhone, might want to purchase stuff from iTunes, but now it seems this cannot be done and he will have to return to Canada to use the certificate.  What the heck kind of instant gift service is that!?
    Anyone know how to deal with this?  The person travelling is gone another couple of months.  Anyone ever try for a refund from iTunes?

    When you tried to contact Support with the card's images how were you trying to do it, on your phone or a browser on your computer ? And have you tried a different browser to see if you get the same error message ?
    As well as images of the card they might also want an image of its receipt.
    And to contact Support you were using : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ , and clicked on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes ?

  • Help please is there any way to have 2 iphone 4's which are updated on the same account and not have the same stuff on each phone i.e. contactsm, apps, and calendars? we like the fact if one purchased an app and other wants to get same app its free!!!!

    we updated both of our iphone 4 on the same computer and we have always shared the same itunes account which is convenient when one purchases an app the other person can simply download app without purchasing again!!! but we do not want all same contacts and app on both phones!!! after updating and setting up icloud we both had same contacts so i went in contacts on my phone and began deleting his numerous contacts on my phone well not knowing that it was deleting on his phone also!!! oops he tried restoring from backup with no luck retrieving his contacts !!! also another issue i have noticed is the manual says that in order for it to sync ur phone must b plugged into a power source well and i have noticed it saying syncing w my phone when it was not plugged anything wall nor computer and it looks as tho in the summary at the bottom where it displays capacity and free space that it is gonna take everything off of my phone but nothing changes on my phone!?! do we just need to get him a separate itunes account to be able to get full benefits from update?!                                                                                                                                                                                                          

    Here's how to do it.
    1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
    2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
    3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts  and etc.

  • On my iPad Mini (2013), How can I make it so, only my downloaded music is shown in the Music app, and not old music I haven't downloaded/ don't want on my iPad?

    When I enter the music app, I just want to listen to the music that I've downloaded onto my device, not old music I don't want, but is still shown for streaming. Any help/ideas? I don't want to have to go offline just to listen to the music I want to listen to everytime

    Why would you have to go offline to listen to music? Dosn't make sense.
    However, you can set the app up to just show you tracks that are actually on the device: Settings app > Music > Show All Muisc [turn OFF]

  • Can you set up a smart group to send to all email addresses for each card?

    So several of my contacts have more than one email address. I'd like to set up smart groups that send to all of the email addresses for each contact. Is there any way to do this? I've seen some topics that mention applescripts, but that required a bunch of prompts. I want to have smart groups that automatically include every email address. Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Dan

    A distribution list in Address book will only allow you to choose one email address per contact. There is no way to change that.
    As you discovered, you can write an applescript that will send to all addresses in the contact. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it needed lots of prompts. There might have been prompts in the ones you saw because the user wanted to choose.
