Can a gift purchase be refunded if the recipient already bought the album?

I gave an album as a gift right after my son had already purchased it. Can he (or I ) get a refund? 
I had no idea he had just bought the same album, literally minutes before I had sent it to him as a gift.

Sorry, but no, probably not. You can redirect the gift to someone else if you wish, but the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:

It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

    Hi ...
    Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
    Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you have problems resetting, use the email form here >   Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

    Thank you

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • HT5188 Can in-app purchases be made using the volume purchase program?

    Can in-app purchases be made using the volume purchase program? I'm an authorized facilitator and able to redeem using VPP in iTunes but want several in-app purchases that are not available outside of the app. Is this possible for the program manager to allow?

    Found an answer!
    At http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html, I found the following:
    Are all apps in the App Store eligible to be purchased in the Volume Purchase Program Education Store?
    All paid iOS apps are available through the Volume Purchase Program. This does not include in-app purchases.

  • How can I get my ipod to list the "album artist" instead of "artist" in the music menu, but still show the artist with the featured artist when a song plays?

    For example, I am putting Kanye West's album "808's & Heartbreak" on my ipod. The track "Amazing" features Young Jeezy. So in iTunes, I list the track name as "Amazing", the artist as "Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy",  the album artist as "Kanye West", and the album as "808's & Heartbreak". What I want is for my iPod to have a list of album artists instead of artists, so that I can find the song "Amazing" under "Kanye West" instead of "Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy" or "808's & Heartbreak".
    And when the song plays, it should say:
    Amazing
    Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy
    808's & Heartbreak
    Is there a way I can do that? I tried using the "album artist" field thinking it would do what I wanted to do, but it didnt. I also tried using the "sort artist" field and typed "Kanye West" in there, but that didnt work either. I wish iTunes was simpler and easier or atleast CAME WITH A MANUAL. Any help would be greatly appreciated THanks

    Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones?  You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack.  Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage.  You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
    I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

  • I have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see picture from one of the albums.what should i do?

    i have an ipad version 5.1.1. i have multiple albums in the ipad and i want to transfer some photos to my computer but when i open the ipad files via "computer" i can only see pictures from one of the albums.what should i do?

    You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
    Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums.

  • HT2729 Why can't I sync my flim That I have already bought from my iPhone to my iPad

    Why can't I sync my flim that I have already bought for my I phone4 to my new iPad 2

    I'm having the same issue and the books I'm wanting to sync are checked. It worked on previous audiobooks that I had. In fact, I just finished the two that I had loaded and want to load two more. I only keep two books (4 files) on the device to conserve space. I'm using an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3. there is 3GB free on the iPhone and I don't get any errors when syncing. My music is syncing fine and the books that unchecked were removed from my phone.
    I just tried to resync with one of the books that had previously been on my phone. It will not reload on there either. Here's a screen shot of iTunes and below that is the screen shot from my phone after syncing. Thanks for any help.

  • Hoe can u get purchasing invoiced amounts in the invoiced currency...

    which SAP report I can use to get the purchasing invoiced amounts in the invoiced currency...

    Hi,
    Go to the standard transaction of the vendor line item display FBL1N and change the layout.Bring the fields of document currency amount and the document currency.System gives the report both in the local currency as defined in the company code settings and the document currency along with the exchange rate at which it is valuated.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT4743 Why can't I purchase tv series in the United Arab Emirates :( ? I bought the Apple TV for this :(

    WWhy can't I buy tv series in the United Arab Emirates store

    Yes, very unfair - the media companies policies are crazy and to me it seems as usual with this kind of thing it's only the genuine customer who is prepared to pay rather than pirate/download who loses out.
    In reality though it's very early days with digital video sales/rentals/streaming companies so lets hope in time there will be more equitable global solutions and release dates, but currently too many vested interests to make it simple.
    It's not that long ago that only the US had Movie/TVShow purchases and rentals, but more countries can now access the service, hopefully you will be able to in the not to distant future.  Not sure if there might be cultural controls on content availability in certain countries as well which the big companies have little control over.

  • I tried to download an album twice with no success (there was an error with my card) but it still charged my bank account. will i be refunded since the album was never received?

    I tried this morning to download the Macklemore album twice. both times with a card error. However it has posted in my bank account as if the transaction was successful both times. So i was charged twice for the same album of which i never received. Will i be refunded for this "purchase"?

    What was the error that you got ?
    Does anything show on your account's purchase history ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent is above the list).
    If you have been charged twice then try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you haven't then they might just be temporary store holding charges - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702 :
    As with many other merchants, the iTunes Store and Mac App Store places an authorization hold on your payment card account for the approximate amount of any purchase you make.
    Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
