How do you gift an app that you already own ?

Disney Mickey Mouse Vol. 1
I just tried this on my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.0). I did an iTunes Store search for "Mickey Mouse"...
After the search result:
1. Panned over to "Disney Mickey Mouse Vol. 1"
2. Tapped the icon
3. Tapped on the right-facing arrow next to "Info"
At this point nothing happened no matter how many times I tapped the right-facing arrow next to "Info"
I then:
1. Tapped the Search button at the top left which took me back to the initial search results.
2. Tapped on "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Vol.1" (a totally different title)
3. Tapped on the right-facing arrow next to "Info"
Then I was presented with the options dialog which includes "Gift"
I then went back to:
1. "Disney Mickey Mouse Vol. 1"
2. Tapped the icon
3. Tapped on the right-facing arrow next to "Info"
At this point, I was now presented with the options dialog which includes "Gift"
So in my case, going through the motions with a -different title-, then going back to "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Vol.1" fixed it for me.

I was gifted an app that I already own. Options?

I was gifted an app that I already have. What are my options? (it's a rather expensive app.)

Did you redeem the code already? If not, I recommend having the purchaser contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/gotoiTunesSupport They may be able to arrange a refund for them.

How can I gift an app that I already purchased?

I'm trying to gift an app that I have already purchased for myself. But I do not see a way to doing so. Since I have already purchased the app, when I am in the Appstore it just shows "Install" instead of the price of the app.
Thanks

Gifting an app needs to be done prior to purchase.
You can gift an app using an iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone. Launch the App Store and find the app you want to send as a gift. Once you have found the app and are viewing all of the details, scroll down to the bottom. There you will find a Gift This App button. Tap on it.

You will be provided with a summary of the app; press Next after you have confirmed it is the app you would like to send.

Enter your name followed by the recipient's name and e-mail address. You can also scroll down and enter a note to be sent with the app if you'd like. Press Next when you're done.

On the last screen you will see an order summary. Verify that the name, e-mail address, and app are all correct. Once you are satisfied, tap on Buy Gift. The recipient will then be sent an e-mail to alert him or her of your gift.

How can I gift an app that I already have installed on iphone and/or ipad?

Once the app is purchased, I cannot figure out how to gift it again, since the gift option seems to disappear once the app is purchased?
Any advice would be appreciated - thank you

Hmm, I guess that's something to put in the suggestion box. If you really insist, just mybe you can contact iTS to refund you. Then you can purchase the gift, and then you can buy it for yourself after?

You have to download the iPhone version of the app - if there are two different versions and if you do not want to pay for the iPad version.
Look in the App Store for the iPhone version and then try to download that one,

Why I can't gift an app that I already have on my iOs devices?

That's it, I want to know:
Why I can't gift an app thru the iTunes store for an that I already have on my iOs devices?
I have an account fully authorized complete with a credit card, so it is puzzling or a blip in Apples system!

Is it hidden via an app age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ? If not then you could try a reset and see if it shows after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

What happens if you gift someone an app that they already own?

Does it just give them credit for any other app they want or does it refund the purchase?

You get two copies of the album. You can't use the gift code to get a different album. You get what the purchaser chose for you.

HT2736 How can I gift an app that I have already purchased?

I am closing down one of my apple accounts that I no longer use. Can I gift my purchased apps on that account to my other account? They can then be removed from the original account.
Thanks for any help

" Can I gift my purchased apps on that account to my other account? "
No.
All purchases made with that account will always be tied to that account. You will have to authorize your computers for that account and update your apps using that account.

HT2736 Unable to gift app if you already own it

I already have an app installed and I want to gift it to someone (without making their Mac one of my authorized computers) but gifting the app is not one of the options on the dropdown menu in the iTunes Store if you already own it. Solutions?

Sign out first, then click on the gift option.

How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?

I gifted an App from the App store to my cousin. He is India and I am in Kuwait. He now got a message saying that the app can only be used in Kuwait. How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?
Cheers,

Are you asking about iOS apps? This is the Mac App Store forum, about issues with apps for Macs, not iOS devices. Mac apps cannot be gifted at this moment. I am asking the Hosts to move your question to the iTunes area.

Ok can anyone tell how I can get the apps that I paid for on iTunes and the app store using my I pad because I don't have a computer and when I try to redownload the apps it keeps asking me for my card number and when I give it my card info it says that it's an invalid number when I know that it's not

If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
Thank you.

Prodesigntools.com , go ahead and download the software from there and use your serial number to serialize it.

TS1702 How can I delete an app that was purchased?

How can I delete an app that was purchased?

Delete an App Store app: Touch and hold its icon on the Home screen until the icon starts to jiggle, then tap the "x" . You can’t delete built-in apps. When you finish, press the Home button.
Deleting an app also deletes all of its data. You can re-download any app you’ve purchased from the App Store, free of charge
