Can't gift apps in itunes store

Hello
recently I've experienced a problem with gifting an app to my friends , a message came that indicates that my payment method was declined, before there was no problem , now i can't!!!
although i cold buy for my self with no problem but i can't gift to any one any more
is there a limit for gifting apps? ?
please help

This also happens with TV shows and music. I have money in my itunes account from a gift card, so it shouldn't need ANY credit card or paypal info from me to pay for the show I want to gift. But I have tried every credit card I have, AND my paypal acct (which has enough money to pay for the show) and nothing is working. Look at the money Apple is losing; but my main concern is why none of us seem to be able to get this to work.

I can't download apps! iTunes store ask me to verify my account repeatedly?

I am using iMac OSX 10.6.6 and the iTunes is up to date.
I can't download any app after about 7 pm today, before the time I can download apps using my iMac, iPad, and iPhone. The iTunes Store ask me to verify my account and input my Security code repeatedly, I did and I am sure the code is correct. Then I tried to download again, iTunes Store ask me to verify again, again, and again.....infinite. Can someone tell me what is the problem?
Am I hacked? Even if I don't get any apps purchased by others.
Or, am I locked? I don't use a illegal or jailbroken ipad and iphone.
Please help solve my problem!
Thanks!
David

I've restarted my iPad, logged in and out of the iTunes store, turned off wifi and back on.. Any other options?

My father accidentally sent me an APPLE (not App or iTunes) Store gift card instead of iTunes, is there any way I can transfer the money to my iTunes? I've tried almost everything.

Buy an iTunes card with your Apple card.

or go to an Apple store.

ITunes account to pay for gift apps and Apple Store items

Is there a reason why i cannot use my iTunes account funds to pay for gifted apps and Apple Store items?
it only make sense.

You can use your iTunes Store balance to purchase from the Mac App Store, but not from the Apple Online Store.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4463, "Note: If you have an existing credit balance on your iTunes Store account, that balance will be shared across the iTunes Store and Mac App Store."

How can i download an app from iTunes store, that exists just in a "swiss store". Because my account isn't allowed to download apps from other stores than a slovene. ???

You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Why can't I buy an In-APP purchase? It says that I can not connect to the iTunes Store and that I will have to contact iTunes Store Support.

Hey everyone
With my iPhone 4S I purchased the NAVIGON Europe App, downloaded needed files and maps within the App and all worked fine. But when I try to buy certain add-ons via In-App purchase I get a window telling me that it can'T connect to the iTunes store and that I have to contact iTunes store support.
This is what I have already tried to make it work:
Reset my iphone via iTunes (set it up as new iPhone)
Changed itunes store payment option from Click&Buy to credit card
restarted iPhone several times
scratched my head
checked restrictions under settings in iPhone: all is correct; in-App purchases allowed
chewed my lip
finally sent a message to the itunes store support.. waiting for their answer
no changes so far. I still get the same error message.
Any ideas?
hugs

No app store present on iPod Touch 4th gen and can't sync apps in iTunes, tried restoring/updating

I've tried everything I know to fix this problem with no luck so far, I'm hoping someone can help. Note that iTunes has been updated to the latest version (and my friend's computer is running Windows 7, if that helps at all).
My friend has an iPod Touch 4th generation. A while back he asked me to help him get apps onto the iPod, and I discovered that the App Store on the iPod itself was nowhere to be found, nor can he remember ever having one. In addition to this, he can't sync apps onto the iPod from within iTunes - the option to sync in the apps tab is greyed out. The music/movies/etc. sync just fine, however. At the time, his iPod had iOS 4.1.
After checking for parental restrictions in his iTunes and the iPod, I found that his iPod has a restrictions password set, which he doesn't know. His parents have no memory of setting restrictions and don't know the password, either.
I read online that the only way to remove the restrictions password is to restore the iPod, and since this seemed to be a good idea anyway due to the odd issue with iTunes refusing to sync apps, we restored the iPod and updated to iOS 5.1 today. Unfortunately, the App Store is still nowhere to be found, and we still can't sync apps in iTunes. The iPod still claims a restrictions password has been set as well.
I have checked and double-checked that no restrictions are set in iTunes preferences. My friend created a new iTunes account, so that shouldn't be the problem. While we're hoping to get both iTunes sync and the iPod App Store app working properly, right now he just wants to be able to get apps onto his iPod.
Does anyone have any ideas why his iPod didn't come with an App Store app, why it still doesn't have the Store after restoring, why iTunes won't sync apps, or why the restrictions password is still set after the restore? I've honestly run out of ideas as to how to fix this.
Before I posted this, I did a little more looking online about the restrictions password, which is apparently restored along with a backup. Neither of us were present during the restore (we had to leave for a couple of hours after the restore had been started), so I'm only asking this because I don't have his iPod or computer with me at the moment to test it myself - is there a way to manually cancel restoring from a backup during the process? If so, I need to restore the iPod a second time.
In the meantime, any ideas about my other three questions?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Edit: His iTunes account is authorized, by the way.

I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

Can't download anything from App or iTunes store

Well, this is by far the worst update I have ever had, got new iPhone 6 128GB, straight away had major syncing to iTunes on my Mac problems which I am still having, but also another major issue.
After about a day of use, if I go into the App Store or iTunes Store on the phone it won't let me download anything, I press on Free, then Install, and all I get is a swirling icon, it never asks me to enter my password or verify by Touch ID, just keeps on swirling, if I press it again the icon dims, the only way I can fix it is by reseting all settings on the phone but by the early hours it once again will not let me download a thing.
Both previous iPhone 5 when I had it worked and a iPad Air 128GB work with the same account.

Looks like I've discovered a clue to why I can't download from App or iTunes store on the phone after a certain amount of time, I do a reboot with Home and Power button this time when it was failing to download an app and when it came back on the phone chucked a ton of pop up messages at me, to verify with Touch ID, to put my password in, and messages about the fact I'd already downloaded that app, about 10 messages.
Seems like at some point iOS 8 is not bringing up the message to verify the app download when in the store and it's getting stuck in a queue which the reboot is unsticking.

And I don't think that it is some conspiracy put together by Apple to tick people off. Obviously Apple wants you to be able to connect to the iTumes store so that they can line their pockets with even more money from lots and lots of app purchases.
If you were to spend any time on this site you would find that this is a recurring problem for a very small number of users. If there are 10,000 people on this site - all complaining of the same issue, that is still a minuscule percentage of all iDevice users.
You are upset and frustrated and I understand that. I don't think it's a coincidence either, but rather a random number of users that all have the same issue. You are noticing it now, because you came here looking for a solution. Apple even has a support article that talks about how to deal with the issue so even they realize that users can have the problem from time to time.
