HT2736 if i have a credit why can't I gift something?

I have a credit, why can't I use that credit to gift someone?

Gift balances cannot be used to buy other gifts. Apple has not said why, only that it is not allowed.

HT2736 Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???

Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance??? It allows you to pay using credit card, paypal, or a new iTunes card, but why can we not gift apps and songs to each other using the current balance we have on our accounts from previous iTunes gift card purchases etc.?
Either I am missing something very obvious here, or Apple's greedy stance on gifting is actually creating less usage of the feature, because I for one would not think twice about purchasing gifts for people with a current balance that is already accounted for, but when it comes to adding money or using a card, it just feels like a new payment, and a bigger monetary burden.
Please let me know how to do this if it is possible, and if it is not, then PLEASE FIX ?

I agree with some points that is how it works. Because apple do things they want....
It's quite nice that way being so unique and remarkable. However it is so inconvenient for users who sometimes just want to gift things without a credit card or such whatever. Because sometimes it's meaningless to have balance when you aren't able to spend it.
The point is made. Many are not happy with it but that's life. Just take it or leave it...

As planb77 says, which is why we specifically did not buy Apple when looking for a mp3 player. We bought a Sansa Clip. Note that just about any non-Apple brand will have issues with Macs because the syncing software is only written for Windows, but at least you can find workarounds such as manually copying music files (which iPods do not allow).
We recently inherited an iPod Shuffle and somebody else gave me a 11 year old PC running Windows XP which I am going to set up so we can use the Shuffle. I agree it's ironic that I cannot run the Shuffle from my newer Mac computer but can run it from a real junker PC.

HT2736 Why can't we gift Final Cut Pro X?

It's nice to be able to gift movies and books and whatever, but why can't we gift larger apps? I want to get FCPX for a friend, but I have no "Send as Gift" option to do so in the App Store (whether from my laptop or phone). Now, I have to get him to bring me his computer, then send him a gift card for the amount, then go on and buy the app for him with the credit. So incredibly tedious, not to mention LAME. At the risk of interfering with your fingerprint scanner R&D, would you please rectify this?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Suppor nor Apple.
Final Cut Pro X is a Mac app, it's not available in the iTunes store (this is the Using iTunes forum). As far as I know you can't currently gift any apps from the Mac App Store (I can't here in the UK).

HT2534 If i don't have a credit card can i still purchase songs and other apps that are not free?

i don't have a credit card can i still purchase an album?
if i can, will the bill of the album be added to my monthly bill?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'added to my monthly bill', there isn't a 'monthly bill' for iTunes. If you want to download paid-for items from the stores then you need a payment method on your iTunes account e.g. credit card, Paypal (if you are in the US), iTunes gift cards

I have skype credit recently but can't call to any mobile or landphones in my home country India. What ever number I am dialing is ringing but no answer, that means the ringing tone I am hearing is not the actual ringing. I have checked with the person to whom I called through skype, they are saying that they are not getting any call. I have still my skype credit. Kindly help.

Every time I try to download a free app, I'm asked for cc info. There is a iTunes card with $60 credit, why can't I just use that?

Oh.
This seems to be a common problem with Yahoo (search this site)
I only have one piece of advice to offer. Change your email provider to one that is not Yahoo.

In my app store account appears money, but when I try to buy a game with my iPhone, a message display saying that I don't have enough credit, why?

If you're in the US, are you including the sales taxes charged in your location when you calculate how much you'll need?

Why can't Adobe do something as simple as giving us a desktop shortcut? Or even better allow us to access direct from print option as we could do if we had the software installed?

Now that I know you are talking about Cloud (not the focus of this forum -- a forum on Acrobat that does provide the icons and the reason for wondering what you were talking about). The Creative Cloud that I have does include the icons on the desktop. However, I am not familiar with the cloud service other than CC. If it is some other product, then exactly what is the product name. As far as CC, I get the icons on my desktop, so I am not sure what your problem might be.
If you did not like the tone, I am sorry, But I honestly had no clue what you were talking about because you only said that Adobe icons were not coming up. You provided no information on the product or operating system that are fundamental to providing help. Adobe (the company name) has about 150 forums dealing with different products probably numbering close to 100. So saying no Adobe icons was meaningless to me and thus the question. I was trying to get information to help you. If you took it as an insult, I am sorry.

Yes, you need a credit card. You cannot use a credit balance to give a gift.

Mac App Store -- why can't I 'gift' Mac Apps? Gifting specific apps in the iTunes store is easy. This is not the case on the Apple Mac App Store.

An alternative is to purchase an iTunes gift card that can be redeemed for apps in the Mac App Store.
