Gift for someone in the U.S, payment problems...

Hi!
I have a problem since I want to buy a gift for a family member that lives in the us and pay it with my Swedish card. It said that the billing address must be within the US, is it possible to write the family members address or does the credit card need to be registered on the address? Is there any solution to this or can I just write my home address in Sweden as billing dress? I will be using the pick it up system so the shipping won’t be a problem. Haven't been able to find a good answer.
Thanks!

To be able to gift to somebody in the US (and who therefore must be using the US iTunes store), you will have to be in the US and have a US iTunes account (which means having a US billing address, and a US issued payment method ; you can't use credit card issued by a bank in a different country).
If you are asking about the Apple online store then you will need to be in the US with a US billing address and US issued card: http://store.apple.com/us/help/payments :
The Apple Online Store U.S. accepts credit, debit, or check cards associated with a billing address within the 50 United States and the following U.S. territories:
American Samoa
Armed Forces Africa
Armed Forces Americas
Armed Forces Canada
Armed Forces Europe
Armed Forces Middle East
Armed Forces Pacific
Guam
Northern Mariana Islands
Palau
Puerto Rico
U.S. Virgin Islands

  • Buying an iPad as a gift for someone in the UK (advice)

    Hi,
    I'm planning on buying my brother an iPad for his birthday but he lives in the UK. The US iPad works out $200 cheaper than the UK version so I was thinking of sending him one from over here.
    What potential problems would he face if I did that? He's not very technologically minded and don't want him stuck with problems he can't solve!
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Per item 2.4 of the following I would say yes.

  • Can I buy a specific song as a gift for someone?

    I'd like to purchase a specific song as a gift for someone.
    Is there any way to do this where it's made available to down load from their own account?
    Or is my only option a gift certificate?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Gift certificate is your only option at this time. There is no way to transfer the ownership or a song or buy a song and have it show up in someone else's account.

  • Can I purchase an iBook as a gift for someone else?

    Can I purchase an iBook as a gift for someone else?

    If I am sending a book as a gift via iTunes, how does the person open it up in iBooks, if does it automatically open up in iBooks.  I just don't want any difficulty for my father to open and enjoy his book.  Would I be better to just download it directly onto his ipad and not have it as a gift for him, could there be some technical or other difficulties for him?

  • If I buy an iPad as a gift for someone, can they add a cellular data account later?

    Hi,
    I am looking to buy an iPad air as a gift for someone, but I don't want to sign them up for any sort of cellular data account.
    If I buy the regular WiFi iPad, can they pay to have a cellular account added later?
    Also, if I were to buy say an AT&T compatible model, and they later change to Sprint, will they still be able to use the iPad on the new plan?
    Any guidance is appreciated!

    Yes. Apple or a certified Apple retailer. Any other source may be bogus. With the Apple SIM you don't need to decide what carrier at time of purchase. However, Apple only supports AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Of course you can also buy it from your chosen provider if they support and sell them.
    I suggest you visit Apple's online store to see what you need. It's well explained. I just bought one two days ago.

  • HT2736 Why do i need to download and install a huge piece of software just to purchase a gift for someone?  It seems like very bad business practice to me!

    Why do i need to download and install a huge piece of software just to purchase a gift for someone?  It seems like very bad business practice to me!

    Stores only have gift cards, and because I live in a different country to the person I want to send one to, that isn't practical.  Installing itunes, seems excessive, especially as I would first have to install wine on linux, just to buy a gift for someone.

  • Can anyone give a good contact number for someone in the upper level of customer service

    can anyone give a good contact number for someone in the upper level of customer care i have talked to two of the worst people from customer service, the "supervisor" who was very appropriate did give me a address to mail a complaint which i will but being a disabled veteran of the Iraq war and a member of the wounded warrior project i get upset at certain people who show no respect for the average person and even worse of an attitude to those injured serving their country. I'm in no way saying I'm better its just that i expect a grain of respect as a person, a fellow American working everyday just to get by. my issue was not an impossible issue to resolve but i was told by one rep that it was not possible after my call being "dropped" i called back and talked to another. Luke from call center Washington state told me it was possible but that the phone i ordered two days prior (that rep failed to finish the order)was no longer available and i could pick a different phone not on back order.......i mentioned my confusion to the lack of service and being told two separate things. i asked why this was when i was not the one who made the mistake he told me it was not there fault and pushed the blame to me....he then called me dude and started to speak over me. when i asked to speak to a supervisor he asked why i told him i was no longer interested in talking to him he said why, i asked to be transferred again he kept refusing saying listen man I'm trying to help you what do you want. i asked to speak to his supervisor at least three more times he refused. i asked for his employee information so i could call back to report his rude behavior he refused to give me anything except at the end he finally told me his name.. there is more but my hand is tired is there anyone who can help me? if i find an answer as i will be posting this to many sites i will post it here.

  • Can I purchase an app as a gift for someone to use on their iPad using my own credits?

  • HT201238 How can I purchase iCloud storage as a gift for someone ?

    I Want to purchase iCloud storage for someone as a gift.. Is that possible

    The problem with this that it isn't a one-off payment. You have to give a credit card number, and then the monthly subscription is taken automatically until you cancel it. The credit card number would be the one in iTunes, so you couldn't use yours but then have theirs used to purchase songs or movies. Probably the only way would be for you to just give them the money, which isn't the nicest way of giving a gift.

  • I want to purchase my wishlist as a gift for someone else, without buying it for me. How do I gift a whole list instead of each song singlely?

    how do I purchase a wishlist of songs for someone as a gift. I only want to pay for the songs once!

    I agree. It seems a strange oversight, since the people most likely to want to gift a track are those who own and like it already. You can comment to Apple here, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I did, and I urge anyone else bothered by this to comment as well.
