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.

    Gifting an App to someone else - that I've already purchased...possible ???
    Ok - I have a great app (not free) that I'd like to gift to someone.....but seemingly, the iTunes Store won't allow the option - as I already have the App associated on my account (and of course on my iPad/Phone etc.....
    So why can't I do this....surely this is an oversight.
    I've had to resort to providing a Gift Card to them (online) and then telling them what to download.....but the minimum is 10GBP.....for an App I don't want to spend anymore than 3 to 4 GBP on...
    Any advice Apple/Anyone to get this fixed.
    Thanks

    One solution I've seen mentioned is to sign out of your iTuens Store account, find the app you wish to gift, and select the "gift" option. It should then ask you to sign into your account and will then proceed with the gift. That's worked for some people, at least.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

    This usually occurs instantly, however if they haven't received the gift after 24 hours, contact iTunes support:

  • 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.

    You cannot use a balance from a gift card to purchase another gift. You will have to provide a credit card.

  • Can a gifted app be downloaded onto two different devices?

    I own an iPhone 4 and an iPod touch and I received an app as a gift. I successfully downloaded the app on my iPhone but would like to download the app on my iPod touch as well. When I went back to the redemption email it says the code had already been used. Do I simply find the app in the app store again and download it directly onto my iPod touch? Will it charge me for the download?

    Check to make sure that the app you want is available to the iPad too. I've seen a couple of people caught out by apps that have both an iPhone and iPad specific version. In these instances you can't load one onto the other and those people ended up buying both versions when they thought they only needed to buy one.

  • Gifted app already claimed?

    Hi, I 'gifted' an app i had on my iphone4 to a mate (on an iphone3) through the app store but he says he can't download it as it's telling him the 'voucher has already been claimed'. He hasn't already used it so what could have gone wrong?

    D'oh. Sorry. Ignore me.
    erm, put it down to 'user error'.

  • I purchased new apps on itunes just downloaded to a new computer and want to add them to an iphone with apps already loaded.

    The tutorial says to check Sync Apps and drag the new app icons onto iphones.  Problem is I get a warning when I click Sync apps that doing so erases all the apps in the iphone and replaces them with the new ones.  Since this is a new itunes, it does not have the iphone apps already purchased downloaded.  How do I add these apps and sync my iphone?

    You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

  • My new Ipad is trying to download an already downloaded App from the store, it shows it as Installing... but has been showing this for a number o days.  The originla App is working fine, ?? Cant stop the installing App in any which way?

    My Ipad 4 has downloaded several children's game Apps, no problems, however following this the device is again trying to download the same App being a repeat of the already downloaded App.  The original is working fine but for several days the Ipad is displaying the repeated App as "Installing".  How do I stop this as there is no ability to remove the 2nd App?

    thanks I found the answer on another forum, turning it off to show the Apple Icon did the job, thanks all

  • HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
