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.

    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.

    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,

  • Is there a discount to buy FCP X if you already own FCP7?

    Is there a discount to buy FCP X if you already own FCP7? I just purchased a copy not to long ago...

    Apple has changed their pricing models with the App Store. 
    Basically there is no longer such a thing as an "upgrade" price.  There's just a "full" price.  Every time you get a major new edition you pay the "full" price again (but software updates within that major version are free). 
    While this sounds bad... they've offset that by just lowering the price of new software in general. 
    If you total up what you'd spend for your initial "full" price for software plus the price of each incremental "upgrade" edition of the software (times however many upgrade versions you buy) and then compare it to that same number of "full" prices versions purchased at the App Store, you'll find that you're still saving money at the App Store.  So while there is no "upgrade" price anymore... you're still coming out ahead.
    My issue with the new Final Cut Pro X is that I think it's such a disappointment that it's not even worth the reduced $300 price.  I basically view this software as an advanced edition of iMovie and I think it should have been priced as such.

  • HT1711 I was gifted an album I already own. How do I transfer that gift to another album?

    I was gifted an album I already own. How do I transfer that gift to another album?

    You can't change the item that was gifted, the person that sent it to you can try resending it to somebody else : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541
    Or, and if they've been charged for it, they can try contacting support for a credit or refund : 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

  • 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.

  • Can I make and gift a playlist without already owning the songs myself?

    I am aware that I can gift individual songs but I want to make a playlist for someone and gift the whole thing to them. I believe you can make a playlist in your iTunes library and gift that but I don't already own all of the songs I want to gift. Any help?

    Hey!
    Just highlighht the "90's Music" playlist and goto Edit>Delete.This will delete that Playlist.However,I'm not sure whether this is a 'Default' Playlist that is added back to iTunes on software updates.I myself never use it and never created it so that would imply that it is an inbuilt playlist within iTunes.Just so you know, I've gotten rid of mine and all's well.
    Cheers,
    John

  • 40% Discount - if you already own a product

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to find some way that I - as a home, not professional user - can make the CC package affordable. I use it in work and would also like to use it for 'hobby' work at home.
    I realise this may not be in the spirit of the offer! - but technically:
    if I bought any single piece of Adobe Software - at anytime, even today - between CS3 and CS5 - does that then entitle me to the 40% discount? Cynical I know but... technically?
    At least it's legal.
    Thanks folks,
    John

  • 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.

  • Reading books you already own in other apps

    I have my epub books in ibooks now but i'm curious if it's possible to take books I already have and somehow use them in the kindle or B&N apps?

    It depends on how you acquired them.
    If you bought them via the iBooks store the answer is no. Epub books bought from Apple are encrypted with Fairplay DRM (keyed to your iTunes account) and only Apple iBooks spps will decrypt them for reading.
    If you buy unencrypted (no DRM) ebooks in ePub format you can read them in any reader or app that can read ePub format books - which is practically everyone except the Kindle.
    Most of the electronic book publishers encrypt their books (DRM) with some flavor or another so that they only work in the reader/platform you bought them for.

  • HT201272 Pay for an iPhone app if you already have that app on an iPad?

    What does the  "+install" icon mean when you are selecting an app? I am trying to download Midori. It was $10 on my iPad and now I want to download it to my phone. Will I have to pay for it again? Reason I ask is when I select the app on my iPhone to download, it shows the price of the app, but then immediately flips over to

    It depends on whether it's a universal app or not. Universal apps will run on both the iPhone and iPad. If it's not a universal app, you must purchase both the iPad and iPhone version if you want to run both.
    Blame the app developer. Apple has no say in the matter.

  • How do you re-download tracks you already own?

    When I updated my iphone to IOS5 it restored factory settings and I lost some of my music. I have tried to re-download it but I can't as it says I already have it. Is it stored somewhere that i can recover it from and if not how do I download it again?

    Are the songs not in the iTunes library on your computer?
    What happens when trying to redownload them via iTunes on the computer?
    Does iTunes list the song but have an ! next to it?  If so, that means the file is not where iTunes expects to find it.  Either locate the file on the computer or delete it from the iTunes library to allow for it to be redownloaded.
