How do I gift a custom playlist?

I'm ticked off. I wanted to give my sister a custom playlist of songs for her birthday. I followed the instructions for that on the iTunes Store home page, but apparently the instructions are not up to date with the latest version of the software.
After purchasing all the songs in the playlist, I was ready to gift the whole playlist, but no arrow appeasrs to the right of the name of the playlist in the sources panel, as it says in the instructions. Any help?

" Am I to understand from this error message that I am not allowed to gift songs that I have ripped from CD?"
Yes. You can only gift items in your library that have been purchased from the iTunes store.
But that is not what the error message is telling you.
If you purchased an album and it contains items that cannot be purchased individually (you only get them when you purchase the entire album), you cannot gift those items separately. You must gift the entire album.

Can you gift an entire playlist at one time?

How do you gift an entire playlist at one time?

No, it was removed a while ago (possibly because people were accidentally clicking on it) - you can now only buy items one-at-a-time by clicking on their price buttons

How do I gift a playlist to someone else?

I Have tried reading everything Apple provides and even a lame support call (paid) - no one can answer this very basic question!
i Simply want to gift a friend with one of my iTunes playlists! I realize I may have to buy the music again, I don't care! Just need to email the link to them and be done!
PLEASE - if anyone out there can tell me how to gift an 80 song playlist, I will be forever grateful!
WHy doesn't Apple support address this or know how to do it?
i Realize we can gift a song or albumn - but I am talking about a CUSTOM PLAYLIST!
help!!!!!!

I find it amazing that Apple has now made it 10X easier for customers to "gift" a playlist illegally (via dropbox) than it is to do it legally. I'm flabbergasted. I'm sitting here wanting to spend $50 on gifting a 35-song playlist and they've made it impossible for me to do it. This, after the whole foundation of the Apple, Inc turn-around can be traced to finding a way to make it easier for consumers to purchase music legally (iTunes) than to download it illegally (napster).
Having the ability to make someone a "mix-tape" hits AAPL's purchasing demographic square in the head. I'm floored that this feature has been removed from iTunes.

How do you gift a playlist?

Trying to gift a playlist. How do you do that in the new version of itunes?

I have received the following note from iTunes Customer Support on this subject.
Unfortunately with the upgrade to iTunes 11, the option to gift custom playlists have been removed.
Apple recognizes that no one is better qualified to provide feedback about iTunes than the people who use it.
I encourage you to use the iTunes Feedback page to submit your comments:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Suggest you downgrade to the previous version until this is fixed.

How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose?

How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose, to a bunch of other people? Since iTunes won't allow me to burn a song more than a few times to disc, and I have to share playlists with my cover band (so we can learn songs), I need the capability to do this.

Drag them from where? I've tried to drag them from windows explorer and it won't allow me. It seems the only place I can drag files from is from the iTunes library list. The problem is there is no way that I can find to just see the songs from a specific folder on my drive in the iTunes library list. It sorts them by artist, album, genre, etc....but not by folder.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

How to Retain a Custom Playlist?

I have a custom playlist in iTunes and would like to burn this playlist to a CD. The playlist is not organized in iTunes by album, artist or song length. When I burn the CD, iTunes organizes the songs alphabetically. I don't want this. How do I retain the playlist order I have created?
Thanks in advance!

Had to reinstall iTunes after bad virus and now when I drag and drop song into custom playlist it won't added. No green appears, instead just the circle with slash. What's going on? a fix? Michael

I had to reformat after a bad virus and reinstall iTunes. Now when I try to drag and drop a song into a custom playlist, it won't add the song. Instead of the green + that is supposed to appear, it just shows the circle with cross slash. I created numerous playlist before and never ran into this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks 1ngiri

OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again.

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

How do you invoke the customer satisfaction guarantee on HP photo paper?

OK, perhaps this is a silly question, but I can't find anything on the HP site or forums that addresses this. How does one invoke the customer satisfaction guarantee on HP photo paper? The instructions in the box (and website) tell me to call HP customer care. I did that, and spent 25 minutes having a technician tell me it was a problem with my printer (HP Photosmart C6180), my printer was out of warranty, and I would need to exchange it and pay a fee to upgrade to a newer model with a 1 year warranty. She seemed not to care or know anything about the customer satisfaction guarantee for paper; she was only trained to tell you the problem was most surely with the printer.
In case anyone here can help, I have the HP Premium Plus 4x6 glossy paper, and whenever I use it the picture quality is extremely poor--not at all what I expected from the paper. It appears the ink has "balled" up, and it looks very splotchy. I am setting the paper type appropriately when printing, and I use original HP 02 inks. When I use other photo paper to print photos, they come out perfectly. Having wasted quite a bit of ink and paper trying different things, I'm just not satisfied and would like to discuss this further with HP.

The only numbers available (I've just reached over and picked up a box of premium plus 4X6 from my supply shelves to look) are on the bottom end back of the box. They are directly under their corresponding bar codes; the Product Number (for 4X6 premium plus it's Q1978AC) and what looks like the SKU (on my box, ignoring the small 8 and 5 at either end, that reads 0873654213). Additionally, there is a "Lot Number" (printed in white dot printing on a gray box background) directly above the product number (which should have "US" in the upper left, and a string below that...mine is US00204805). There is no number on the back of the paper, just the HP logo and a string of 6 small dots under it in a diagonal pattern spread across it.
So, I expect they want all three; Product Number, SKU, and Lot Number...the last likely so that that can pull a lot sample from their QA inventory and attempt to reproduce the issue back at the lab.
Hope that helps.

I do not want all of the playlists in iTunes to be synced to my iPhone. With iCloud I do not seem to have a choice. How do I select only certain playlists for my iPone?

I have many songs and playlists in my iTunes account. I do not want all of them synced to my iPhone 5S, but that has happened via iCloud, and it has caused a storage problem on my phone. How do I select only certain playlists to be synced to my iPhone?

You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.
