How to purchase a gift card for EU iTunes Music Store

I want to send gift cards for the EU iTunes store to some friends in Holland.I have not been able to figure out how, if I reside in the US, I can buy a gift card for iTunes EU. Anyone out there able to point me to the information? Or is this too impossible to do?
iBook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

As noted you need to have an account in the country that the iTS is associated with. There is no EU iTS.
You cannot gift from the iTS US to the iTS UK etc. even if your friends have an account in iTS UK. They need an account in the iTS that the gift is from. Unless you have accounts in all those countries iTS then you could gift but only to the same country.
This is due to the copyright holders not allowing cross border sales.

How can i exchange an apple store gift card for an itunes gift card?

I purchased an Apple Store gift card and received it with its PIN number via email. I did not intend to buy this; I wanted an iTunes gift card and bought this on accident. Is there a way I can exchange this Apple Store gift card for an iTunes gift card?
Thanks,
Tim

No; it needs to be an iTunes Store gift card to do that.

Can I use a mac app store gift card for the mobile app store?

If I purchase an Appstore gift card for the Mac App store, does the credit also apply to itunes, and the regular iOS App Store?

The iTunes Store and Mac App Store use the same user database, so any credit in your account can be used in either place. Gift cards, while they may be labeled as one or the other, are actually identical and can be redeemed though either the iTunes Store or the Mac App Store.
Note, though, that gift cards for the Apple Store are completely different and cannot be used in either the iTunes Store nor the Mac App Store.

Will the gift card balance be put into my account for use on both stores, or will it only apply to itunes OR app store?

Since the iTunes store and the App Store are actually one in the same, you can use the gift card for purchasing apps, yes.

How to create a link to album in Itunes Music Store?

How is this done? Would like to send someone a link to a specific album so they can purchase & download it.

Easy. Find the album or track in iTunes Music Store, then control-click (or right-click if you have a two-button mouse). One of the options you'll see is "Copy iTunes Music Store URL". Then go to your email (or chat window, etc.) and hit Command-V to paste.

Does anyone know how I use a gift card for in-app purchases?

I bout a gift card so that I wouldn't put purchases on my credit cards but, when I prepare to pay for the in-app purchase it only shows credit cards. Is there something I need to do to allow the gift card as payment?

1) make sure it is an iTunes Gift Card, not an Apple Store gift card, they are not interchangeable.
2) Follow these instructions

I Live In US Can I Purchase a Gift Card For Sombody In Canada

Simple enough question. Talked to the itunes support and they said got to the Apple Canada itunes store. I did and when I try and purchase a card it opens my itunes account in the US where you can only buy US applicable cards. I suspect this is a futile effort.
Would appreciate any suggestions on how I might do this.

Dave, I understand the restriction, but follow the logic in this example (I hope it's logical. Feel free to punch holes in it). I think it could work (at least for e-mailed, virtual gift cards.)
We have a purchaser with an account in the iTunes store of country A, and a recipient who uses (or would use) the iTunes Store in country B.
1) The purchaser (in country A) is restricted to buying only gift cards in the online iTunes store of country B. No music, movies, TV shows or anything else copyrighted. Only gift cards. This is merely a matter of programming. Right now, I can go onto the US iTunes store and listen to the 30-second samples of tracks, I can browse the music and movies. I just can't purchase them. Lift that restriction for gift cards. They are geniuses out there at Apple. I'm sure it can be done.
2) In order for the gift card to be valid and redeemable, the purchaser must enter the e-mail address of the recipient's account - a valid, open account in the iTunes store of country B (meaning the recipient's credit card info is already known to Apple.) This way, Apple knows that the gift card purchased in iTunes store B will be redeemed by someone who has an account in iTunes store B, and therefore any music purchased would be from iTunes store B and the agreement between Apple and the record companies won't be violated. As explained in my last post, it would not be cross-border shopping, either, as the entire transaction (purchase & redemption of the gift card, and the downloading of any copyrighted material after the gift card has been redeemed) would take place in country B.
If the purchaser doesn't know the account address of the recipient, the purchaser can ask the recipient for it. I know, as it's a gift, it kind of ruins the surprise if you have to ask the recipient what their iTunes account address is, but I'd give up that surprise the first time around to be able to give gift cards to friends and family who live in other countries in the future.
3) If the Recipient doesn't have an account yet, in order to redeem the gift card, the recipient has to open an account on iTunes store B, using the e-mail address the purchaser used to send the gift card. But in order to open the account, the recipient has to enter valid credit card info for purchases in country B's iTunes store. If the recipient can't do that, the gift card isn't valid and the purchaser just has wasted their money. No music was purchased, and therefore, again, the agreement between Apple and the record companies isn't broken.
Does this make sense? I think it's do-able.

How to purchase electronic gift cards?

I want to purchase an iTunes Gift Card from Apple, but I don't want it to be shipped to me( as I'm located outside the US). Can Apple just e-mail me the code? Am I correct that the person that I will gift the code to should have an US account ? Can I somehow get the code from the gift card e-mailed and then pass it to the person to redeem it outside the US?

If the person is in a country where the iTunes Store for that country offers gift certificates - not all iTunes Stores offer gift certificates and prepaid cards - then yes, they could buy a gift certificate for another person in that same country.

HT2736 I thought I purchased a gift card for my sister, however, I have not gotten a confirmation email. Can you tell me if it took. They would not let me pruchase one on my ipad. I guess too old!

I thought I had sent my sister a gift card before the holidays. I did not get confirmation and nothing arrived.
So I tried to send a gift card to her from my ipad. Would not let me. Too old I guess.
So now I am, one more time, trying to send her a gift and I thought I got the job done, however, I still have not gotten a confirmation that it was sent.
Can you check to see if it is sent and or what the problem is.
Thanks,
Diane

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
She's checked the spam folder on the email account that you sent it to as well as the inbox ?
And have you tried resending it (assuming that it worked the first time) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541 ?

Will I get a receipt when I purchase a gift card from the iTunes store?

I need to purchase (via the iTunes store) a gift card to be added to my work account and then claim the money back.

Thank you in advance!

Help! iTunes error message said try again later - instead I purchased 10 gift cards for my niece's christmas present!

Please help! I have written itunes support, who will get back when it is too late probably. My bank will not cancel my multiple mistaken purchases. It is not possible to call Apple about iTunes store purchases. My order does not show up on my account in iTunes, but 10 awaiting purchases shows up on my bank account. This makes my bank account empty! How can I cancel my order ASAP?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
You should have been able to try resending the gift to his email address, and not buy another one. Resending gifts : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541
He's checked the spam folder on the email account that you sent it to as well as the inbox ? You could try resending it, as per the instructions on the above link.
For the third card, you can either try resending that as well, or you can contacting iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : 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

How do I make one location for all iTunes music?

I have music stored in two locations, an external HD and some internally on my MacBook HD. I recently upgraded to a larger internal HD and want to move the music that is stored externally back onto the internal drive. What is the easiest way to do this, so that it is all in one folder in one location?
Many thanks!

Thank you. I've done that and it saved to my external drive. I have tried to copy my iTunes folder from the external HD to my Mac HD and i get the error: You can’t copy “iTunes” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames, which makes no sense to me.
