Buying stuff for someone from their iTunes wishlist

Hi, i'm new to all this so i have a straight forward question.
It's nearly xmas, and i want to buy some songs for a child who has an ipod touch. I know they have a wishlist on itunes and i would like to buy specific songs from that list for them. My question is, why can't this be done? Why is apple forcing me to buy a voucher and send that to them (the child) when i want to buy specific songs/albums for them. I don't want the child to get a generic voucher for them to buy potentially unsuitable (explicit) songs/albums.
I know a could phone the child and ask what they have listed, but that defeats the point of them creating a wishlist in the first place.
I just seems daft to me that the point of having a wishlist is to let others know what you would like. Not to have access to this list so a relative/friend can gift the things on it feels to me like Apple are missing out on a trick.
Your thoughts....?

Ability to buy unique local content from other iTunes stores

Hi,
I recently realized that iTunes store that looked modern and incredible only few years ago now does not serve my needs.
Let me explain in details and may be this information can help Apple to improve their store and meet my needs.
I am 44 years old.
I was born in Moscow Russia back in 1969. My childhood and my youth years were in Soviet Union and in Russia.
After graduating from university my first job was in Singapore. I lived in Singapore with my family for 12 years. My two daughters were born there.
Right now my family and I are residents of Canada.
As you can see, there are few significant portions of our lives bonded to different cultures.
I believe we are not unique. The World is small. People goes to school in one country, goes to university in another, works and getting married in third and settles down and retires in fourth…
iTunes store provides great possibility for us to download music, songs, movies… but only from the iTunes store of the country we live.
Apple dictates what we can or can not listen and watch using iTunes by its unfair policy:
REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THE ITUNES SERVICE
*The iTunes Service is available to you only in Canada, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.*
I could understand why Apple does this. Because the same HD movies can be sold for $20 in one country and for $10 in another and Apple does not want people to switch stores and get a better deal.
But I am talking about completely different issue here.
Each country produces exclusive media content which is purely local.
This could be a localized version of Disney cartoon or a song in local language.
What I really want is to be able to download any exclusive local content from any iTunes store around the World.
The price can be different and it could be related to where I live. That's fair.
What is not fair is for Apple to tell me that I can not download russian movies and russian songs from a russian iTunes store because I am no longer live in Russia.
Here is what Apple can do to resolve this issue:
1. Provide different audio language sound tracks for movies.
If I am buying a Disney movie from Canadian iTunes store I would like to be able to buy it in English, French and Russian. Because my family members have different preferred language. You can charge for additional sound track a small amount, say $1.99
I does not cost anything and no content needs to be produced. It's just the way you package it.
2. Allow to mark iTunes content as an Exclusive local content. For instance a russian folk song or a russian documentary.
Make a special section "Russian exclusive content" or "Singapore exclusive content" etc
Allow anyone in any country to buy this content.
All this makes perfect economical sense and also fair to your customers.
Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated.
I hope this information is useful to improve iTunes store in future.

Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
It's not Apple's choice where to sell an item, the content providers control that. All content is licensed to Apple to sell by the content providers on a country-by-country basis, so each country has to have its own store - if the record company, film studio etc was happy for the item to be in your country's store then they will grant Apple a license to have it there. Similarly it's up to the film studio to put extra audio tracks and/or subtitles on their films.
If there is a particular film etc that you would like to be added to your country's store then you try requesting that it be added, but utlimately it's the content provider's choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)?

hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
much respect,
tommy bravo

After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

The implication here is that the other computer belongs to someone else, along with the content on it.
Since you do not own this media, you have no legal right to it.
If you want the media, purchase your own copy.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

For restoring from backup itunes is asking for password

Hi Experts
for restoring from backup itunes is asking for password and i didn't give any password when backup was going on not even i checked on encrypt my backup.
please help me ASAP

See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3057884
I too have experienced the "blame everything but Apple products/software" indoctrination of the Apple phone support techs!
I have a feeling that iTunes automatically switches encryption on and puts as default a previous iTunes store password but as I don't leave mine the same all the time (and don't feel the need to remember historic passwords that I'm not using to secure anything against) I have no clue what it is.
Good luck trying to get useful advice on here relating to the issue, it will go along the lines of...
1) Its your fault for setting it and forgetting the password,
2) We know everything and theres definately no way iTunes would set backups to encrypt without your knowledge and...
3) Theres no fix for this issue, you might be able to save some of your data, but most will be lost (unless you specifically ask for an iTunes redownload exemption/ token then your purchases could be lost too).

The buy icon has disappeared from my itunes store. How can I purchase songs??

The buy icon has disappeared from my itunes store...how can I purchase songs??

The Youtube app was removed by Apple in iOS6. You can use either the iPhone app from Youtube (free in the app store, but you've got to set it at 2x), or go to www.youtube.com in a Safari web browser. You can also add the web page to your Home Screen using the share feature. It will then operate just like an app.

Buying ibook for someone else's ipad

Is it possible to buy an ibook for someone else's ipad?

not 100% but if you go to settings and store and change the appleID from theirs to yours in which case you will make all their apps stop working
which would mean you would have to delete their ibooks app as that would no longer work
and use app store to redownload the ibook app using your appleid
buy the book and log out with your appleID in settings -> store
which of cause would make the ibook app downloaded with your appleID
stop working when
the other guys appleID is applied again where the other guy will have to redownload the ibook app to
be back to the start
so I believe it can be don but I doubt it's a good path to travel down

I paid for songs from the itunes store and they are in m4a if i paid for them why can't i load them on a card to play in my car?

why can i not copy songs i bought from the itunes store to a card to play in my car stereo.
what is m4a?

M4A is another name (actually, the file extension) for the AAC audio format. It is used in iTunes, but frequently has compatibility problems when used outside of Apple-land.
Does your car player expect MP3 format? If so you can convert your files by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Also, unless you enjoy doing format conversions, you also have the option to buy your music in MP3 format in the first place, from another music download store, e.g. Amazon MP3.
MP3 can be used in iTunes, iPod, iPhone and just about every other player, program, and device.

I cannot buy stuff for my game - Game of War.

I have an Iphone which I downloaded Game of War. I have bought stuff before with this game, however, I cannot buy anything now. My phone was bought in the US and has a US #. However, I live in Canada. How do I buy things for this game while in Canada?

How can you print something from icloud? I'd like to print a copy of my schedule for someone from the calendar, but print is disabled. Going around that, the pages in the preview are blank.

So far I am only seeing the possibility of being able to print my schedule from my computer at home in iCal.
It doesn't seem possible to save it as a PDF since the pages appear blank on the print preview. Is this just the broswer I am using, or is printing really not possible? I could share it to "anyone" (since this person doesn't have iCloud), but to be honest I don't feel very comfortable with having something like that "open" on the web. Even though it's only through that specific link, it still would exist out there for someone to potentially stumble onto it.
Any ideas, or is it just not possible to do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
A bit of a pain, but you'll need to take a screenshot and print that, Skitch makes taking such screenshots much easier if you are interested.

Why can't I delete things from my iTunes wishlist?

I can't seem to be able to delete any songs or movies or anything else for that matter off my itunes wishlist. Any help?

I have this too. I notice there are a number of other threads referring to this problem, some of them with a number of solutions, like logging out and back in again after each delete, or upgrading or reinstalling iTunes. None of these seem to be permanent fixes, and given that some of them relate to iTunes 9 and I'm using iTunes 11, it would look to me like a long-term issue. Yes, another one, folks.

Apple TV 2nd Generation slow streaming for Movies from my iTunes

Just taken delivery of a 2nd Generation AppleTV. Everything works but when selecting a movie from my iTunes library it takes a very, very long time before it plays. I can fast forward and reverse but cannot play. Sometimes it takes 15 to 20 minutes before I can play it. Is there anything I can do to improve this? I could go and get the DVD and play it in my DVD player much faster than this.

I have the same problem with mine: the Apple TV 2 is so slow to start streaming movies I initially thought it wasn't working at all. I'd select a movie, and after many minutes of no result I'd cancel and try another. Turns out it's just so slow I though it wasn't functional.
My setup: movies on iMac (current model 27" i7, OS X 10.6.5), stock internal drive, Airport Express running 7.4.2 in 201.11n only mode 2.4 GHz), no other computers or devices on the network.
I tried swapping in a wired router and connected everything via Ethernet, but it made no difference.
Also tried selecting a movie, waiting the incredibly long time for it to start streaming, and then cancelling out and starting all over with the same movie (to see if it caches). The problem persists.
I wondered if it was the size of my movie library. I have about 230 movies in iTunes. So I tried leaving the Apple TV in "browse your movies" mode overnight to see if it needed time to prefetch things from the movie library. That didn't work either.
I've tried a couple dozen movies from various sources (home movie from iMovie, DVD ripped by Handbrake using both "Apple TV" and "Apple Universal" settings, and Ripit), without any change. I'm going to try the many-chapters idea and made a movie with tons of chapters to see if that helps (will report back).

Can you buy something using your own apple account on someone else's iPad? If I log in and buy stuff for a friend and then give it to her, can she then log in and buy/rent more things using her own account? Want to give it loaded with starter things!

My friend is sick and I want to buy her an iPad and load it with my songs and buy her some apps and movies. Can I give it to her and then she can log in using HER user name and buy more things? It might erase all I gave her? Not sure what to do because she won't have time or energy to fool around with all the great things there are and would appreciate us doing that part for her. Later, when she is feeling better, she may want to rent a movie or buy and app. Not sure how this works.
Thanks,
Jan

You friend has no legal right to any songs bought from your account and will lose them when synced.
There are gift options.
