Gift an app after ios 6

how can you gift an app since the new dowload?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If you see the app in the App Store app on your iOS device, then the same app should be available in the iTunes App Store in the iTunes app on your Mac.

  • TS1702 No longer able to sign into a free app after iOS 7 and the app (password books) is no longer available

    I am unable to sign-in to the Password Books App after installing IOS 7 and the app is no longer in iTunes , published by Razor Apps, LLC, have all my passwords in this app.

    WORKAROUND: In iTunes, select the podcast files and hit CMD-I (show info). Set the genre to something other than "Podcast", and in the Options tab, set the Media Type to Music. You can do this to the files that are on your iPhone. If you do this to the files on your computer, they will no longer show up as Podcasts - they'll be mixed in with music files in your library. You can then put these podcasts into playlists on the iPhone, and they'll show up on the phone once it's disconnected. You might need to fool around with this a bit - try it more than once, etc. - I had some podcasts not show up on the iPhone until after a SECOND connect-and-disconnect operation with the computer. Others here might do some experimenting and figure out a smoother set of instructions that will always work - but this is a starting point.
    Note that I ALWAYS "manage music and video files manually" - I NEVER "sync" music and video. Your mileage may vary.
    Apple - please listen: The handling of podcasts in iOS 7 is not a feature, it's a bug. As you can tell from the comments here, MANY people need to manage podcasts as if they were music files (and sometimes, THEY ARE!!!!). The arbitrary decision to treat podcasts differently is WRONG - an audio file is an audio file. I don't need to buy one TV to watch sports and one TV to watch news - because video is video. Get it? If you want to provide a Podcasts app, that's fine, and anyone who wants to use it can do so. But don't RUIN the previous, excellent functionality that we had before, when it's completely unnecessary and a colossal pain (not to mention insult) to your customers. And in some cases, it's a serious driving safety issue.
    I'll be watching this space to see if others can refine the basic workaround that I've found.
    UPDATE: It appears that changing the genre is unnecessary, only the "Media Type". It's probably best to do this only to the copies on the iPhone, so the files in your computer's library are not altered.

    Try restarting your iPad or resetting it and see if that helps. Restart first.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Status of iPad 1 IOS 5 apps after IOS 6 released?

    Will Apple maintain a separate library of apps for the iPad 1 on IOS 5 after IOS 6 is released?  I see a lot of discussion related to it will be ok for iPad 1 users after IOS 6 is released. I also see Apple continuing to sell reconditioned iPad 1 s for over $500.
    If Apple does not maintain a separate archive library of IOS 5 comparible apps, then users of reconditioned iPads or 2nd hand purchases will lose the ability to download most useful iPad apps within 6 months to a year as the developers will be contuning to update to IOS 6 features.
    If Apple maintains a separate archive store/library, there will continue to be a place to get apps for 2nd hand iPad 1s.  Without this library, the iPad will become a resellers boat anchor very quickly.  The iPad 1 continues to be a great product for many people.  I, for one, hope Apple maintains a library so that the new Lifecycle does not become 2 years.
    An archive for ios5 apps could become a new Apple best practice.
    What do you think? If anyone has links to more details on ow Apple plans to support iPad 1s, please let me know. I for 1 still like 1.

    I imagine that the majority of apps will maintain compatibility for quite some time. It took a while for developers to drop support for iOS 3.X after iOS 4 was released, and some apps still offer support that far back. Obviously there are some hardware features of the newer iPads (more RAM, for instance) that are simply missing from the original iPad, so you can't expect developers' progress to halt. Still, I'd say that you still have a while to go before the original iPad is obsolete. (By the way, I own an original iPad and love it, it still does everything I need)
    If you're truly concerned, you could of course back up to a computer to ensure that regardless of what happens, you can always restore your currently loaded apps in the future.

  • Loss of sound in some apps after iOS 5 update....

    ABC Player works fine, trailers app has no sound neither does where's my water game? Have verified it's not the mute/orientation switch on the side! Anybody else had tis issue and if so is there a fix?

    I'm also experiencing this problem on my iPad2.  Music and sound effects otherwise work in other apps, but no sound plays in the Where's My Water app after the iOS5 install.

  • Bounce Apps after iOS Update

    I'm using iPhone 5s with 32G and there is 7G free space.  After update iOS 7.1.2 at early July, the phone occasionally turned to blue screen during viewing photos or switching between apps or scrolling the screen, and back to the home screen in a while.  The situation has got worse these 2 days.  Apps bounced when the phone activated in 15 mins or less.  Blue screen, Apple logo, and then go to black screen most time.  Sometimes remind me to reset touch ID after the phone has hung.  Reboot the phone cannot help the case.
    I used several hours for back up to PC/iCloud and restored the phone.  Blue screen appeared again in less than 15 mins after the restoration completed.  Some apps could not restore in the phone as they were not back up (no idea why not all apps back up to PC via iTunes??).  iTunes showed no back up was made in iCloud.  But iPhone showed there's one in "Storage and Backup" and the data is restored actually.  It's confusing.
    Could anyone help?  Or waiting for next update to fix the bug??

    Thanks for the reply.
    Bug type 110 and 115 were found in "Diagnostics & Usage".  I think many diagnostics reports disappeared when the apps/screen bounced to blue and the phone restart.
    I restored the phone from iTunes Backup, not as Set Up as New Phone.  What's the difference between set up as new and from iTunes backup?  If "Set Up as New Phone" is used, can I restore the backup, or all data will be lost?

  • Missing some built in apps after iOS 5 upgrade on iPad2

    I upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPad 2 wifi/3G.  IMessage is missing from desktop but is shown in Settings and is turned On. Reminders is in the tray and I can't figure out how to get it to the desktop.

    I've been at this for nearly a week. After upgrading iTunes, I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS5 without a problem.  Then did my iPad.  At first, the bar indicating free space in iTunes showed that 'over capacity' yellow 'other' section.  Found an entry that said click and unclick the choices on the Summary screen.  Did that.  Sync'd.  Yellow gone.  Sync started.  Yahoo! But that was short lived.  After the sync, no apps, no music, no videos were on the iPad...but, and here's the strange part...the bar showing capacity shows they are there.  iTunes say they are on the iPad but the iPad does not show them.  And when I connect my iPad to the PC and the file folder of what is on the iPad apprears, it shows much more space (the actual space) available on the iPad confirming that the apps, music, and videos were not sync'd.  I've tried unclicking everything and syncing, click one, two, three, each with syncs....no luck.  If anyone has any suggestions (short of using my iPad as a doorstop...oh wait, too thin for that!) I'm listening.
    Really...any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • My iPhone 4 lost all apps after iOS 6 update, and can't reinstall them!

    After updating to iOS 6, I can't install apps I've bought before.. I can only open them through App Store.. Stupid!!
    And safari can't ever find any web pages when on wifi...
    Seems like iOS 6 is having some bugs after reading this forum and by my own experience..

    I have a similar problem.  None of my App Icons are visible.  I rebooted Iphone, PC and wireless router, I did a sync with iTunes (With "Sync Apps" checked, but it doesn't seem to go through that step), both through wi-fi and with USB cable........no success with any of these.
    When I go into my settings, I can see that the phone knows about these apps. I get see the settings for them and the amount of storage they're using.
    I'm thinking I'll use the Restore function in iTunes.....but I'm afraid that might make things worse!! 

  • Cannot Update Apps After iOS 8 Upgrade

         Ever since I updated to iOS 8 I've been having issues updating my apps through the App Store app on my iPad 3rd gen. Even though I'm logged in and slect Update All, the apps won't update. On the home screen each app to be updated will be faded and have "Waiting..." beneath it. No matter how long I wait it will not update.
         I close the app and open it again and select the option to stop updating (this wasn't an option before I closed and then opened the App Store). On the home screen it will show the blue dot by the apps as if they were updated, but they haven't.
         Is anyone else having the same issue?
         Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello NinaBunBun,
    It may help to force close all applications, then restart your iPad.

  • Unable to update apps after IOS 6

    I have 14 app pending updates since IOS 6 and NOT being able to update due to billing info update as the app store suposedly wasn't able to process a previous purchase. Now I want to update the 14 already bought apps and I can't due to this stupid message. As far as know if you don't have enough funds available you can't install or download any app. How could a previous purchase cause any problem? Any help?

    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.

  • Can't download apps after iOS 8

    Not sure what the issue is.
    After updating, I dowloaded a few keyboards (maybe a hour after the update being released), and everything seemed good.
    Now, it doesn't download anything. The blue circle just loads and no app appears on my home screen.
    I reset my phone multiple times, did a network reset, closed out of the app store and reopened, and also signed in and out of my Apple ID in the settings app.
    What should I do? I really would not like to reset my whole phone all over again and restore, that takes a lot of time for such a minor thing.
    The only way I can get apps on my phone is through iTunes, other than that, nothing.
    Thank you.

    Did you reset all settings yet?

    No data is lost.

  • My rear camera on my iphone 5 no longer works in camera app after ios 7 install

    My iphone 5 updated to ios 7 and the new camera app no longer works. Sometimes I can get the front camera to
    Show on the app. But the rear camera just shows black. And it won't switch bewtween the two cameras at all
    Sometimes. What could this be?

    I got the same problem with my iphone 5 rear camera and tried the solutions suggested here but it did not work.
    The camera application which came with ios7 is frozen as soon as it opens. I does not take photos or switch between cameras.
    I have been able to use the front camera with Snapseed, QR reader . however no application is able to open my rear camera.
    I am not sure but  it can related with the application updates either ios7 or the camera applications already installed on our iphone. Uninstalling those apps which has access to camera and rebooting may solve the problem. This is just an idea !
