Gift certificate for Canadian friend

I bought an itunes gift certificate for my friend in Canada and she can't use it. Turns out it's only valid for U.S. citizens. When I log on to itunes Canada and try to buy a gift cert there, it takes me to my U.S. account music store so I'm in the same boat.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

ANything bought with US money on the store can only be used in US store you may want to check this link out and email apple about this to see if you can get your money back and see how to send a gift to your canadian friend http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/giftcertificate/

Email gift certificate for different iTunes store?

Hi,
I wish to give an email gift certificate for a friend in Japan. But my iTunes store account is in US. Can I purchase the gift certificate from a US iTunes store for my friend to use on a Japanese iTunes store? If not, what is the best way to give a gift across the border?
Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Buy one directly from an Apple Retailer or Reseller Store;
The card needs to be purchased in the country it is for. Can't purchase a gift card from Apple in the US and use it in a different country's store.
Same as eBay (which I wouldn't recommend). The card needs to be originally from teh country it is to be used in.

Gift certificate for friend, download to same computer problem

Hi,
I purchased a gift certificate for my girlfriend from my own account.
She received the email gift certificate, hit 'redeem' however the album didn't download. Unfortunately going back to the email and hitting the 'redeem' bring up a message saying this code has been used.
Is there an issue if she trys to download the tunes onto the same computer as i have all my purchased music?????
Thanks
Rustybob

First, is she logged into the account through which she redeemed the certificate and ordered the album? If so, first have her check to make sure it's not still sitting in the Shopping Cart and not actually purchased. If not, have her try the "check for purchases" command under the Advanced menu; the album may be sitting there waiting to be downloaded.
Hope this helps.

How can I convert a Gift Certificate from Canadian Store to US Store?

My sister, who lives in Canada, bought us an iTunes gift certificate for Christmas. We tried to redeem it, but because she bought it through her account in the Canadian store, it is not accepted.
Anyone know what we can do so we can use this money?
I do have a Canadian mailing address, but do not have a credit card up there. Any help? We don't want to through the money down the drain!!!

Very little im afraid, the gift cards are country specific so unless you have a canadian account (which by the sounds of it, you don't) theres not much you can do.
Since you do have a canadian address though, you may be able to create a Canadain account through gift card redemption, but Im not sure of the exact process to do that.

Repost (Amazon gift certificate for answer this time) NT Event ids

Where can I find information about the different types of event ids (with numbers and descriptions, source tag, type) for what Oracle writes to the NT event log ?
I offer a $25 gift certificate for the first answer.
Thanks

The note in question reads :
When the Oracle Database Server service fails or fails to start with a pre-
determined error code it calls the ReportEvent function to write an entry to
the event log, Windows NT then passes the parameters to the event-logging
service. This in turn then uses the information to write an EVENTLOGRECORD
structure to the event log. Other errors are reported to the Alert.Log or
related trace files.
When the Windows NT event viewer application starts it uses the OpenEventLog
function to open the event log for an event source. The event viewer can then
use the ReadEventLog function to read event records from the log. ReadEventLog
returns a buffer containing an EVENTLOGRECORD structure and additional
information that describes a logged event.

Purchased a gift album for a friend in another country

I live in the US, and gifted an album for a friend. She wrote back saying she lives in Canada now, and therefore apparently can't redeem it.
What can we do?
In order of preference, I'd like to (1) have her get the music, (2) get a refund, or (3) somehow transfer the gift to another recipient, just so it doesn't go to waste. Is there a telephone number at Apple I can call?
Thanks

i was afraid of that
*From the itunes store terms of service*:
+to purchase from an iTunes Store in a particular country, you must have both a residential address and a billing address in that particular country. Items on any particular country's iTunes Store are available only for distribution to customers who use a credit card, debit card, iTunes Gift Certificate, or iTunes Gift Card issued in and for that country.+
... or perhaps she can simply change stores by clicking the flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes store...?
no, that won't work either. see above.
redeem it yourself or contact _*iTunes Store Customer Service*_ for a refund.

Is there such a thing as a 'gift certificate' for photo services in iPhoto?

friends of ours just got back from germany and im sure will be wanting to make albums of it all. my wife and i were wanting to give a 'gift certificate' to make some books in iPhoto, but how is that done?? i know the ITMS has its own cards you can redeem, but what about this kind of stuff?
is it just a simple matter of an apple gift card? can you pay with those?
thanks in advance!!

I had the same question and finally found the answer buried in iPhoto print products support here:

And the answer is unfortunately no. How hard can it be to accept gift cards for print services????

Bought a GC from iTunes US for Canadian Friend?

Hi guys,
I bought an iTunes email GC for a friend of mine in Canada, and she is unable to redeem it. How can I make this work for her? I am quite frustrated. I bought it with my US account. If she is unable to redeem it, how do I get my money back?

Sorry but no and no. Gift certificates cannot be used other than in the country of purchase, and someone from outside that country cannot create an account in an iTunes Store other than in their own country. So there's no way your friend can use that gift certificate.These restrictions are required by the content owners who do not allow cross-border sales (and are stated pretty clearly when you purchase the gift).
I do not believe that you will be able to get a refund, so I'd suggest just resending the gift certificate either to a friend in the US or to yourself so you can use the credit for your own purchases. Here are the steps to resend a gift certificate...
1. Launch iTunes.
2. Click on the Store icon in the Source pane to go to the iTunes Store.
3. Click on your account name to sign in to the iTunes Store.
4. Enter your password.
5. Click Purchase History.
6. Click the small grey arrow next to the Gift Certificate you'd like to resend.
7. Scroll to the bottom of the detail screen for the Gift Certificate and re-enter the new recipient's email address.

HT201209 how can I buy an iTunes gift certificate for someone living in Colombia?

How do I buy an iTunes gift certificate from US iTunes for someone who lives in Colombia? The fine print on the gift certificate page says it can only be redeemed in a US iTunes store.
Is this true? And if so is there a work around?

OK, I see what point you were trying to make previously. You are talking about the misspelling of the name. That was SO not clear in your post. As you can tell, both roamminggnome and I missed your intent.
If you want to educate people on the common misspelling of the country Colombia, then state your case clearly. You will get a lot further that way. Being condescending about the mistake is not productive, and you won't achieve your goal that way.
That having been said, it seems a bit pointless to bring up a two year old post that has a spelling error in it and then post to it only to call out that error.
This is not an English course - it is a technical user to user forum. We have to put up with egregious spelling errors daily on this site. It is not the place to start a campaign on the proper spelling of the country Colombia. You might want to try to direct that considerable indignation somewhere where it will actually make a difference.
Sorry for the misspelling in my post of the country. I can promise you, I won't make that mistake again.
Cheers,
GB
