From the USA, how can I purchase a gift card or certificate to give to someone to redeem in the iTunes store of a foreign country?

No, it means you switch from the US store to the other store. Afterwards you just switch back to the US store. You can theoretically have accounts in many different iTunes stores. Switching is simply logging out of one and logging into another after switching countries. There's a switch country link at the bottom of the iTunes Store.
Personally, it seems it would be much simpler to send a check to all of your friends. Far less trouble than trying to open bank accounts and get credit cards from different countries unless you frequently travel to them and don't mind maintaining cash balances in different banks across the world. Not to mention getting credit cards. Here in Vancouver they won't give me a credit card unless I maintain a $5,000.00 minimum balance in my Canadian checking account. If I did that I'd hardly have much need for the charge card.

    Hello there, AniChirglyan.
    The following Knowledge Base article talks a little about the purchasing order of items through the iTunes Store.
    iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    iTunes may still ask you for information from your card on file if that information has lapsed or needs updating. The card information on file has to be correct, no matter what purchasing option you will be exercising for this purchase.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    Does any balance show on your account ? My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iOS devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
    You can check your account's purchase history via your computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store
    If this is the first time that you've tried to download anything from the store, then unless you followed the instructions on this page when creating your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are getting a message to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

    You cannot use that card. iTunes gift cards are only valid in the country of original purchase.

    How can you combine apple gift cards online?

    Hi Fsalicrup,
    You should be able to use up to eight Apple Store Gift Cards during checkout on the Apple Online Store.
    Payment & Pricing - Apple Store (U.S.): Apple Store Gift Card
    http://store.apple.com/us/help/payments#applecard
    Apple Store Gift Card
    You can redeem an Apple Store Gift Card at the online Apple Store, by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE, or at any Apple Store. Apple Store Gift Cards can be used only in the United States. With the exception of gift cards, certificates, and iTunes downloads, you can purchase just about anything sold by Apple, including products from both Apple and third-party makers.
    You can use up to eight Apple Store Gift Cards at the Apple Online Store or if placing an order over the phone at 1-800-MY-APPLE. You can combine your Apple Store Gift Card(s) with one credit card to pay for your purchase. Simply enter or provide the PIN. On the plastic gift cards, the PIN you need to use can be found on the back under the scratch off area. On the electronic Apple Store Gift Cards, the PIN can be found on the email below the image of the card. Please keep the card in your possession until the order has been processed and delivered.
    Note: Apple Store Gift Cards are different and distinct from iTunes Gift Cards.
    Cheers,
    - Brenden

  • How can I use a gift card on App Store?

    How can I use a gift card on App Store?

    If it's an iTunes gift card, as opposed to an Apple Store gift card (which can only be used in Apple stores and the Apple online store), then you can redeem it onto your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
    And as long as you are buying content for yourself (you can't use an account's balance for gifting content) then your balance should be automatically used for your purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

  • Can I purchase a gift card?

    Can I buy a gift card with a credit card? With my walmart card I tried to buy a prepaid mastercard and it wouldnt let me. Is this always true or does it depend on the merchant/cc company?  

    You can purchase gift cards with credit cards. Each merchant is different, for example: My experience ~ I went to purchase a gift card at my local Walgreens with my Citi Thank you Preferred card and it wouldn't go through. The cashier tried three times. Citi sent me a text from their fraud department to my cell phone asking me if I authorized this activity - text back one for YES or two for NO. I text back "1 - yes" and they immediately sent me a text back stating - please try again for immediate approval. Now, I was already back in my vehicle when all this was going on. So back to when I was in the store and the Citi card wouldn't go through, I immediately pulled out my BOA visa and it went right though with no issues. So again, yes, you can purchase a gift card with a credit card - but be prepared for the above to happen and have a back up credit card just in case. Hope this helps!

  • IBooks from Australia and the USA - how can I see all of my collection on my MacBook Pro?

    G'day,
    I am Australian. I began using iBooks in Australia by purchasing books through the Apple store in Australia on my iPhone.
    In those days I had a PC running windows, and used to sync my iPhone on iTunes in Windows 7.
    Later, I moved to Illinois in the USA. I also changed from using a PC to using an Apple MacBook Pro.
    So these days I sync my iPhone with my MacBook.
    I now have a mixture of books on my iPhone. Some purchased from the Apple Store in Australia, and some purchased from the Apple Store in the USA.
    I can see and read ALL of my books on my iPhone.
    But I can only see and read the 5 books I purchased since living in the USA on my MacBook Pro.
    My login and password are exactly the same for the Australian Store, for the USA Store and for iCloud.
    How can I see and read ALL my books on my MacBook Pro here in Illinois?
    My iPhone is running iOS version 8.1.2
    My MacBook is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    Message was edited by: bruce in Illinois
    corrected typos

    Thanks for your prompt response King_Penguin.
    I carried out your suggestions.
    A strange thing resulted.
    Just one (1) of my 34 books on my iPhone now appears in the iTunes list of books on my Mac, and subsequently was moved to iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
    This happens to be the book I am currently reading. So at least I can get on with reading on either device.
    But I am mystified why only one book was copied across.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • My mom sent me an iphone 4s from the usa how can i activated in israel

    they told her it will work worlwide
    how can activate it in israel

    If officially unlocked, put a local activated sim in the phone, turn it on & follow the on screen prompts. If your phone is not officially unlocked, it won't activate & you'll get an error message. You'll find out pretty quick whether it is officially unlocked or not...you could also look on the box...any carrier name listed? Did your phone come with a sim card pre-installed? If any of those things are true, you don't have an officially unlocked iPhone. Might as well send it back before you go any further.

  • How can I purchase Apple gift voucher in Nigeria?

    I live abroad, but I like to purchase Apple gift vouchers for use by relatives in Nigeria.  Please advise.  Thx

    As far as I can see they aren't currently available in Nigeria, and as gift cards/certificates are country-specific (they can only be used in the country in which they are issued) they won't be able to use those from other countries.
