Can I gift a specific movie for a friend to download?

My sister and brother-in-law's family in Canada use iTunes to watch films; we are in the UK.
I would like to send them the gift of a particular movie which I like.
Normally, I might just order online for a DVD to be physically delivered to them by Amazon.ca in time for Xmas. (But this Christmas, I have pledged to steer clear of Amazon as part of a protest at the near slave conditions they extract from their "employees.")
So:  is there any way I can pay iTunes (using my account) for my brother-in-law to download just this specific film?
I know I could just give them an iTunes voucher with which they could download any film they like.  But, somehow, it feels more like a Christmas gift if I give the one movie I have chosen; otherwise, I might just as well transfer money into his bank account - which doesn't feel Christmasy at all.
Is this workable. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric

Thanks, Niel.
I suspected as much - but I'm afraid the precise phrasing of your answer begs another question:
- can you, then, gift specific content to people in the same country as you?

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

    Read the article you linked
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library."

    How can I check my outstanding balance for apps I've downloaded so I can clear it so I can update my apps?

    I believe the item will get automatically charged to the credit unless it is an item for which such a payment method is not valid (e.g., a gift card).

  • Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading?

    Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading? I have limited download (525 MBs/day) because of Hughsnet and I need to know each applications total size before I download.

    You can go to the trial page to get an estimated size.  As the Creative Cloud products change over time though this may become less accurate.
    If you are on a limited bandwidth account then you may want to consider purchasing a perpetual copy of Creative Suite 6 as opposed to subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

  • How can i get a specific tone for my vip email alert.  all tones are in my ringtones, but only some show up in the alerts for email.

    i cannot get my all my ringtones to transfer to my vip email alerts.  there is a specific tone I need for one vip email alert, but that one doesn't transfer, however it IS in my ringtones and textones.  how can I get that particular tone for my vip email?

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • HT4059 Can I gift a specific ibook instead of a voucher?

    Hi
    Is it possible to gift a specific book using ibooks instead of buying just a voucher?
    Thanks

    At the moment no, it's not possible to gift ibooks, all you can do is buy a gift certificate / card and suggest that the recipient buy the ibook with it.

    I have an Internet friend in the hospital I would like to buy a movie for her to watch on her iPad. what information do I have to have to do that? She is not close but across the country from me. She is reading on her IPad so I assume she has Internet access.

  • How can I make an iPad slideshow for a friend, without having an iPad?

    I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.5.8 old school stuff these days, I'm sure. The point is, I don't have any fancy new apps or an iPad.
    A friend has an iPad 2, I think (the newest kind) and I wanted to make them a slideshow (or a couple). What would be the easiest way of doing this—using Keynote, or just stuffing the pictures into a folder in numerical order and zipping it?
    Also, I want to resize all the images so they appear full screen right off the bat. The info I found on Apple's website is:
    1024 x 768
    132 pixels/inch
    Does this sound about right? Thanks so much!

    If you MacBook Pro came with Lion preinstalled then you will not have a copy of iDVD.  That's because iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple and is not longer being included in iLife.
    You can purchase a copy from Amazon.com: iLive 11.
    If you do have Lion this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8... seconds and you can follow Terence's directionsl
    As for iDVD the following is a recommended workflow to follow;
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Can I connect iPhone to iPad for direct backup and download?

    I am a Windows 7/64 user. I have an iPhone 4 and am thinking of buying an iPad, cheaper than a whole new Mac. I regarded the iPad as a small computer, and thought that one might use it to make backups of the iPhone and download eg films or other stuff from it. Now a friend told me that it is not even possible to connect the two devices to one another and that any interaction between the two would have to go through a computer. So what is the use of the iPad, when it is no more than a heavy and clumsy iPhone?

    I do not fully understand all of the ins and outs of iCloud either. I use iCloud in very "limited doses".  The greatest feature of iCloud - IMO - is that you can download purchased content again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID. There are some limitations based on where you live - but in the U.S - all of this is available to you.
    I also use iCloud to back up my Pages documents and currently only the Apple iWorks suite of apps, pages, Numbers and Keynote, can make use of this feature of iCloud - As far as I know.  The changes that I make on the documents will sync to my iPod Touch and I can download the documents from my iCloud.com account in order to work on them on my Mac. Revise them on the Mac, upload to my account again - and they appear on the iPad and the Touch with revisions in place.
    iCloud is still in its infancy, and even if it was "foolproof" or as foolproof as anything can be, I would never count on the cloud only to store my important files. I still backup to iTunes on my Mac and I backup my Mac with Time Machine. The use of iTunes is simply the vehicle through which all of your purchased content can be transferred to your computer for safe keeping. iTunes will store your media, apps and photos - and the backup process using iTunes - provides a way to save your settings, app data, camera roll photos, bookmarks, - in essence - the "stuff" that your apps produce - if that makes sense to you.
    Read this to learn more about iCloud. This is covers everything from soup to nuts. The articles contain links to other articles with more information as well. You may even want to peruse the iCloud forum for more information.

  • I gifted a specific movie in HD, can the recipient download this movie in SD?

    I gifted The Fall in HD to a friend. The recipient of the gift received it and downloaded it without knowing that his computer does not play HD movies. In the past, I've been able to download SD versions of HD things I've purchased - can he download the SD version of this movie? If so, how?

    Here's what I've found.  Mind you, this mentions for the purposes of syncing to an iOS device, but that part can be ignored:
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. You can download the latest version for free here.
    Open iTunes on your computer.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Navigate to your Purchased page. Find it by clicking Movies or TV Shows from the top navigation bar in the iTunes Store, and then click Purchased from "QUICK LINKS" in the iTunes Store.
    Choose the appropriate video type: Movies or TV Shows.
    In the lower-right corner of the screen, deselect the box next to "Download HD When Available."
    Search for the desired video and click the download button.
    This should download the standard definition version to your computer so you can sync to your device.

  • Can I gift the FaceTime app for my girlfriend's mac?

    Can I?

    Eric..
    The FaceTime app for Mac can't be "gifted" but you can purchase an iTunes Gift Card that can be redeemed at the Mac App Store and used to purchase the FaceTime app.
    Choose your iTunes Gift Card - Apple Store

    Tip:  Where you see the price of an app either in the App Store for Mac or the iTunes store click the black arrow facing down next to the price. If you can gift an app it will say:  Gift this App

  • How can I have user specific filters for information display on portlet?

    Hello Everyone !!!!!
    I am new to the Portlet World
    My query is..
    How can I have filters on a portlet screen ?
    I want to display certain information on a portlet which must be filtered and ordered.
    Example:
    In Internet Banking , I want to display transfers which had happened in the last month. So I ( as a user ) will keep this predefined somewhere may be in portletData.
    Whenever that user logs in for the next time, he will be able to view account transfers taken place in the lastest month only.
    This must be user specific. As another user can keep the setting in a different way. That is he/she might want to view account transfers for the last week only.
    When user clicks on a button a new screen( filter screen ) is loaded where he need to enter the dates of From and To .....
    The user saves this.....( may be in portletdata)
    So that when he logs in .. next time screen loads with the defined settings in filter....
    Any idea ? How can this be achieived ?
    Thanks in advance.... :-)

  • How can i set a specific time for a transaction code to be run?

    I want to know if a certain Transaction Code (not only the customized tcodes) could only be run on a specific time (ie. 4pm to 6am only)

    There are two ways to achieve the purpose you wanted:
    1. If the work to be done by this Tcode can be processed automatically without any interactive session (dialog user) then I would suggest it to process as Batch Job in the time period you specified. And make sure that none of the users are not having corresponding authorization to execute the same task in foreground.
    2. If you need the Tcode to be executed only when you can monitor then the best way is to monitor the users containing the Tcode through SM20 audit log as a Mitigating control.
    No such facility is currently available to protect a Tcode for a particular time interval in a day. You may write a message to SAP for suggestion.
