Does sending a gift song on itunes count as a track purchase?

If i send a gift song to my friend will it count as a purchase and help the seller reack the charts?

Yes.  It counts as a sale whether you buy it for yourself or as a gift.

  • HT2204 How can I send a gift song to a person with in a different country set up in Apple ID?

    Please let me know if there is any way to send a gift song/ app to a user in another country? I am registered in the US, my gifts are only redeemable in the US, and when I am trying to purchase a gift in iTunes in a country of my recipient , Apple redirects me back to the US store? Why is it so difficult? Any way around it? Thanks much in advance

    It's not currently possible to gift items to people whose account is based in the same country as your own - and you can only gift content from your own country's store, you will need a valid billing address in the other country and be in that country to be able to buy/gift from it

  • HT2736 Gifting song in iTunes

    The person to whom I gifted a song through iTunes never received it, and I have never been charged for it.  Where do I check purchased gifted songs in iTunes?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Purchased gifts and allowances, will show up in your purchase history in the same way that regular purchase items will. If the purchase doesn't appear after a few days, it is probably safe to assume that it has not completed.

  • I preordered the One Direction FOUR album deluxe and they have been releasing songs and itunes says i need to purchase them

    i preordered the One Direction FOUR album deluxe and they have been releasing songs and itunes says i need to purchase them

    The standard process for pre-orders is that you're not charged at the time, but as and when individual tracks are released these are charged at the standard single rate and when the full album is released you pay the balance between what you've paid so far and the full album price.
    Has your previous payment method expired or been removed since you registered the pre-order?

    When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app?  Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category.  If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes.  To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again. 
    I hope this helps!

  • Ipod does not transfer all songs from itunes

    I have the 80g ipod classic. I have 16,000 songs on itunes. when i go to setting on ipod and go to about it shows that i am missing 13 songs. for a while i was missing 5 songs then 9 songs and now 13.yes i still have room on my ipod for music. I do not have a clue what songs are not being transferred to my ipod. what is causing this and what is the solution.

    yea i guess that could be possable. i guess with 16,000 songs and only 13 did not transfer to ipod i should be happy but this is mac not windows so i would like to think the soft ware would work without flaws.. as for all my dupes i put over 1500 cds in my itunes library. a lot of the cds were various artists etc. that is y i have so many dupes. my imac has a 500g hard drive so i have plenty of space left on my hard drive. i have 2 external hard drives where my music is backed up.i have a 1terrabit lacie that i just use for time machine and a 500g lacie to back up my music and other stuff. iwould never trust my music to be backed up on only 1 external hard drive. if it died my music would be gone forever. thats y i use 2 external hard drives

  • Sending iBook gift from US iTunes member to Australian iTunes member

  • Unable to gift song in iTunes UK

    I've done this before once, but today when I try to gift as song I can see nothing that gives me this option. Any suggestions? Have they stopped this feature?

    Just continue my little discussion with myself...
    I've now discovered that it's only iTunes Plus music that doesn't show the Gift This Music button. If I disable iTunes Plus it re-appears.
    I wonder if this is intentional, or a 'bug' that has been overlooked since the introduction of iTunes Plus?

  • Ipod does not import all songs in itunes

    Does anyone know why when I plug in my ipod it will import a few of the songs then a message pops up that says attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to, please help!!!

    Another thing to be aware of is what format your files are in. If you have an Ipod Photo like mine it won't play .mp4 file format so when I first got my ipod it would only load the first 70 some songs, those songs were already .m4a, then it would give the same error message you discribed. I thought my ipod was hosed until I finally went through with a program I got of the internet that was a file extention converter tool and renamed all my files from .mp4 to .m4a then everything worked fine.

  • Authorizing a purchased song in iTunes from a "buy album" purchase

    Tonight, I purchased an album using the "buy album" option. One song doesn't play, and I'm asked to authorize my computer. When I do that, it still won't play. How can I fix this?

    Also, when things like this happen, is there a way I can be reimbursed for the useless download? Or am I simply expected to cross my fingers and hope that you folks have the answer?
    While I hope to reclaim the song I purchased, this has totally turned me off of the whole iTunes program. Product quality is questionable, and customer service does not exist.
    This would be the equivalent of going to Target, buying a shirt, coming home, realizing it has a hole in it, and taking it back to the store. And at the store, they tell you, "We're not going to give you your money back. And we're also not going to give you another shirt to replace the one you paid for. What we're going to do is we're going to send you to that room over there filled with several million people, all screaming about their problems, and hopefully you bump into someone who knows how to fix your shirt. Also, don't ever try to contact us again. Thank you."

  • Why can't I download and play songs on iTunes from iCloud if I purchased Match?

    I want to play songs on my desktop from iTunes.  However, I can't click on the cloud symbol and download them onto my PC...I just get a "!" out to the left of the song.  I have no problem downloading the songs from the cloud and playing them on my iPhone. 

    A little more background.  I've had iTunes Match for well over a year and I didn't have this issue until just recently.  Things that have changed recently:
    I got a new iPhone (not my choice...company move).  I purchased a lot of my old music on the old iPhone.  The new iPhone has 8GB storage.  The old iPhone had 16GB of storage.  I had 13GB on the old phone.  A lot of stuff, therefore, didn't transfer to the new phone after backup.  However, keep in mind, it's not just the music that I purchased on the old iPhone that is "greyed out" and unavailable, it's music that I have stored on my personal lap top at home, too.  Also please keep in mind that some of the music that I purchased on my old iPhone *is* playable/available on my desktop.
    I recently renewed iTunes Match.
    I don't knowingly have any music stored on the HDD of the computer in question, it is my work computer (i.e. I have never purposely downloaded a song or purchased a song on my work computer).  The big question here is *why* can I download music from the cloud and play it on my new iPhone but can't download the very same song and play it on my work computer via iTunes?  There are cloud symbols beside the songs on both devices...when I click on the cloud symbol on my iPhone, it downloads it or streams it if I click play...can't do either on iTunes on my desktop for the same exact song.
