  • HT2736 Gifting an app already downloaded

    How can I gift an app that I have already downloaded? The usual purchase button for the app is greyed out, shows 'Downloaded' and does not offer the gift this app option. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    Try logging out of your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > Sign Out menu option and (without signing back in) then see if the 'gift this app' option appears on that app, and if you can then gift it (you should be prompted to sign back in when you select 'gift') - I have the same 'feature' on my Mac's iTunes.

  • HT2736 Gifting an app to an alien? Don't even try!

    So when my German exchange son, who is sitting beside me and using the same U.S. isp cannot download a gift app because his itunes account is German, how does one get a refund and why did apple make it so hard to do this instead of user friendly.

  • HT2736 gifting an app - how long to receive info?

    I purchased an app as a gift. I see it in my order history. How long should it take for the recipient to receive the email? Its been over 12 hours. I've tried resending it. Nothing magically appears. I even tried sending it to myself. NOTHING.

  • HT2736 Is it not possible to 'gift' an app you've already bought?

    I own Monopoly for iPad and was trying to gift it to my dad for his new iPad but that link option doesn't show up in iTunes ... the GIFT link shows up fine on apps I haven't already bought for myself ...

    That is an interesting question...there appears to be no way to gift an app you've already purchased...maybe to avoid confusion about people thinking they can gift things they have purchased for free? There was a lengthy discussion about a similar issue on iOS devices here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4033741
    A workaround might be to log out of your Apple ID, then navigate to the app in iTunes, click the 'Gift This App' button and then sign in when prompted.

  • HT2736 Can I gift an app from my iTunes account to friend without using credit card ..just use my credit in items store account ?

    Can I gift an app directly from my iTunes account to another without credit card ..just use existing iTunes credit

    No
    You would have to use a credit card.

  • HT2736 I just updated iTunes and I don't see the option to gift the app? what gives?

    I just updated iTunes and I tried to gift an app from my PC. The options is no longer selectable. What gives?

    OK, so it sounds like you are trying to do the gift on your Mac. I also tried it on my Mac with an App I had already purchased, and you are right - it doesn't give you the option to gift it....on the Mac. I looked up the App you were asking about, and based on what I could see in the iTunes Store for Apps, and on your indication that you have an iPhone 4, it appears that this is an iPhone app?
    If it is, then you can gift it (even if you have purchased it) via the iPhone App Store (I tested this with my purchased app that showed no "gift" option on my Mac). Click on the App Store on your phone, do a search for your app, then click on the share option at the top right hand corner. When I tried this on my iPhone using the same app that I had looked for in iTunes on my Mac, it came up with a window that had the "Twitter/Email/Facebook/etc. options, but it also had a "Gift" option.
    So, try to gift it via your App Store app on your phone.
    Hope you have the same results I did!
    P.S. I have also sent in a support ticket to iTunes Store Support for this - clearly there is an issue.... (sorry about the misunderstanding - it doesn't work the way it is supposed to!)
    Cheers,

  • HT2736 Gifting apps

    I am trying to gift an app that I already own, but there is no "gift" option. Am I missing something?

    Is this on your Mac's iTunes, and it's not a free app ? On the current version of iTunes I get the 'gift' option on apps that I've bought, but there was a 'feature' on a previous version of iTunes : if you log out of your account on your Mac's iTunes (e.g. via the Store > Sign Out menu option) you should then get the gift option on the app - you will then be prompted to sign back in as part of the gifting process.

  • HT2736 gifting apps to another account

    If I am gifting an app will the price be charged to my credit card or will it come off of the account balance that I have on my account?

    Credit card.
    You cannot buy gifts with gift card balances.

    when i need to gift any app by print gift myself take me to billing info to choose the raiment method and already i have credit on my iTunes card

  • Apps gifted with app gift card

    How come if I have purchased gift cards and have money to redeem at App Store it won't allow me to gift an app? That can't be legal surely. If I was to use my credit card they would be paid, I have money sitting to be redeemed but can't use it to gift an app.....wonder what consumer affairs would think of this ridiculous system?

    Yes it is perfectly legal.

    Additional Information
    Note: When purchasing an iTunes Gift, a valid credit card must be on file; you cannot purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit. Purchased gifts cannot be redeemed outside of the country of purchase. For example, an iTunes Gift purchased in France cannot be redeemed on an iTunes Store outside of France. You can contact Apple Support to cancel an iTunes Gift up to two days before scheduled delivery.

  • HT201209 Gifting an app will not work with gift card?

    Ok. So I have plenty of money on my account.  But it will not let me gift an app with it? Why not.

    Because Apple doesn't allow it. They haven't said why.
