Gift This APP-but already owns?
I want to gift an app to a friend, but I'm not sure if she already owns it. It's obviously null to ask her first.
So what happens to the purchase if she does already have the app?
She'll have a duplicate purchase. The iTunes Store cannot check to see if she already owns that app before you send the gift, and they don't give refunds. So the best route, though I understand it may spoil a surprise, is to find out if she has the app already before you give the gift.
Regards.

I used the "Gift this App" option from within the app store, on iPhone via wi-fi, so that I could send my girlfriend Plants vs Zombies, but unfortunately I entered her email address wrongly (.com instead of .co.uk) so obviously its not been redeemed.
Anyone got any idea how I can correct the email address so it goes to the right person? Or will it expire anyway if it's not redeemed within a certain time?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Running iTunes 11.0.2 on a Mac, the option to "Gift This App" is missing for apps that I've purchased. It appears properly for apps that I haven't purchased.
Has anyone else run into this bug? Is there a workaround? How can I gift an app to someone?I also had the problem of the "Gift this app" link missing. This is on a PC. I was able to gift apps using an iPad logged in to the same iTunes account but the performance was terrible. I have been administering iPads for a company for a couple of years now. I have set up over two dozen over that time and this is the worst it has been as far as getting apps onto the device goes.

I gifted an app But they havn't received it How do I make sure they will get it
I did this today for each of my kids for their IPads and they haven't received the email and app. I haven't received the confirmation email either. How long does this process usually take? It has been a few hours. The app that I purchased as a gift was iMovie.

Gift this app, person did not get it
i used gift this app and the person did not receive an e-mail for the app, but i got charged for it. anyone know why? i double checked the email address
When I send them they arrive in seconds.
Ask the recipient to check Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.
Also see if you are able to resend the email by following these steps.
If the problem persists, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -

I was gifted an album I already own. How do I transfer that gift to another album?
You can't change the item that was gifted, the person that sent it to you can try resending it to somebody else : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541
Or, and if they've been charged for it, they can try contacting support for a credit or refund : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
Can I make and gift a playlist without already owning the songs myself?
I am aware that I can gift individual songs but I want to make a playlist for someone and gift the whole thing to them. I believe you can make a playlist in your iTunes library and gift that but I don't already own all of the songs I want to gift. Any help?
Hey!
Just highlighht the "90's Music" playlist and goto Edit>Delete.This will delete that Playlist.However,I'm not sure whether this is a 'Default' Playlist that is added back to iTunes on software updates.I myself never use it and never created it so that would imply that it is an inbuilt playlist within iTunes.Just so you know, I've gotten rid of mine and all's well.
Cheers,

If you gift an app can the receiver write a review in iTunes?
I don't think so. The gift is being purchased from your Apple ID.

How do I give a gift of an app I already own and love?
I purchased a third-party recipe management app called Paprika, which I love. I want to purchase a license for the app for a family member, but can't seem to figure out how to do that.
I open App Store and search on Paprika. It returns the result but there is not an option to give it as a gift. I can tell a friend, etc. or open it.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!At this moment, Mac App Store apps cannot be gifted.
The closest that you can come would be to send this person an iTunes Gift card for $20.
