Can I preload US apps for students overseas?

What is the best way to pre-purchase apps for iPads overseas?
I am gifting two iPads for Christmas to my wife's niece and newphew overseas. They are young college students and have no money or credit cards, nor does the family. One of them is a gifted art student and I am trying to inspire her to discover digital art making with an iPad. I also want them to have fun with some games. The plan was for them to setup their own local Apple IDs. I purchased an iTunes gift card for this purpose but learned that a US gift card cannot be redeemed in another country.
I also know you can only purchase iTunes (music) or apps from your country store. I know that if you change accounts, updating of apps stops, and so on. I do not know if their country store has these great art apps?
Are there any solutions to this? How can I see what is available in their country iPad APP store? If the apps are available, I'll let them handle it. Can I send an Apple iTunes gift to their account in their country?
If there are no solutions, I was going to create Apple IDs for them, redeem the already-purchased gift card and pre-load the apps. Is this ok? If no credit card is involved, does this require a US address or US email? I could create them if needed.  If I have to utilize this approach, can I continue to redeem US gift cards to their account for new apps even though they are physically out of country? I thought I read that downloads can only happen when physically located in that country????---hope I'm wrong on this.
Anyway, while the world is in a global economy, apparently it's a global mess. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    Others, including cloud based
    Microsoft Office Web Apps:These are versatile apps since they can be used on or off the cloud. Expect a simplified experience to the full version of Microsoft Office suite.
    OnLive: Access both a degree of Windows desktop functionality and full Windows versions of Microsoft Office Suite.
    CloudOn: This was one of the first solutions for iOS productivity. Syncing with Dropbox, CloudOn offers a more complete Windows desktop. The tradeoff is it also offers a more pared-down version of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
    rollApp: Offers Open Office programs for iOS, also utilizing Dropbox.
    LogMeIn: Remotely access your home computer's desktop from your iOS device. This solution requires coordination of logins, settings, and hookups. The free version does not offer file transfer, but you can get a separate, free app for that.
    Google Docs: Now featuring Google Drive for iOS, users no longer have to battle with pressing the Refresh periodically to initiate syncing. This makes collaboration much smoother, resulting in a stronger office productivity product.

    On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

    Can anyone recommended an app for excel spreadsheet. One that I can username iPad that can do the same functions as excel of desktop,or laptop ??

    Thanks for the advice. Just don't want to waste money on apps trying to get the right on. Not looking to do too much, just add filters maybe create a pie chart. Will the app you mentioned give added sums at the end of the spreadsheet like it would on the windows version?

    1, Photos are stored within your computer's iTunes, you just use iTunes as a means for trasnferring them to the iPad. Connect your iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you want more control over the photos that you copy to the iPad (e.g. the ability to delete them directly on the iPad, re-order them etc) then you could consider a third-party photo-management app instead of the built-in Photos app e.g. Photo Manager Pro
    2, options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents and Numbers for Excel spreadsheets.  And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
    3, You first need an app on the iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy to it - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

    No, you need XCode to compile the app and you need a Developers license to be able to publish.

    Hello Marlis,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you view the app in the iTunes Store by selecting "View in iTunes" in the link below, under the Information pane you can indicate whether the app is able to be shared via Family Sharing.  For the app you are asking about, it does appear Family Sharing is enabled for it.

  • Is it possible I can create an iOS app for free???

    Is it possible I can create an iOS app for free??? I don't care what site, I just wanna know and how to add the new app to the App Store.....

    You need to pay a yearly fee of $99 dollars (US) in order to be able to test the apps on your ipod and post to the app store. Other than that creating apps are "free".

    Hi mom2sibes,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    With Home Sharing, you can stream music to your iPad. To transfer the songs to your device, sync it with iTunes. See this article for the steps:

  • I can't download an app for free even though I bought the app on another device.

    I downloaded an app on my iPad 1 a few years ago and recently I bought an iPad mini, but the problem is I can't download the app for free! Even though I logged in the same account app store tells me to buy the app. What do I have to do so that I don't have to pay twice for a same app?

    If you are using the Purchased tab where your purchases are listed to re-download it then you shouldn't be charged. If you are being asked to enter your credit card details when trying to download it via that tab then that will be for account verfication purposes - you are currently in the country where your account is based ?
