Is it possible for me to share an itunes playlist with someone who is not on my local network and who has a different itunes account? I would like to send a playlist to my friend as a gift, but don't want to buy all the songs before I know it'll work.

This is what I found when searching for an answer online, but iTunes has changed so much since this posting that I don't know if the answer is still valid:
Give your playlist as a gift
You can gift a playlist to a friend, assuming everything is available on the iTunes Store.If you want to share the contents of you favorite playlist with a friend, you can send it as a gift (within the limits of what’s available on the iTunes Store, that is). If you select a playlist, then click the small arrow icon to the right of its name, a dialog box will display asking if you want to give this playlist or publish it on the iTunes Store. If you click Give Playlist, iTunes will look at your songs, then take you to the iTunes Store. This is, of course, limited to what’s available, and if your playlist contains any songs that are album-only sales, you won’t be able to give these; in fact, if your playlist contains any album-only songs, the process will stop, and you won’t be able to give anything from that playlist until you remove the album-only songs (and iTunes won’t tell you which ones they are, but these are generally songs that are longer than 10 minutes). But assuming you can give the playlist you’ve created, I’m sure your recipient will be very happy.

Hi czigrand,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Currently, you can gift dollar amounts or individual items (EG. songs) on the iTunes Store. See this article for more information:
In the iTunes Store, you can gift a dollar amount or specific music, movies, TV shows, or apps from your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Mac, or PC. Follow these steps to send a gift from the iTunes Store.

  • Need to upgrade but don't want to go all the way to 9.0.1.

    I want to upgrade my FireFox from 3.6 to a newer version but I can't go all the way to 9.0.1. My email service provider doesn't fully support 9.0.1.
    How do I upgrade a version at a time.

    "_800" --- good strategy DR9. Sorry to hear about you and mabel. Was it your fault? If so, you're a baaaaaaaaaaa-d boy...
    I think I laughed out loud in the Apple store when I made Logic crash. Not an evil, maniacal laugh, though I think people turned to see what was going on. But their attention was quickly diverted because there was this other guy in the store who was barking out loud like a dog (I kid you not). He probably had Tourette's which, strangely enough, didn't seem affect him when he answered his cell phone and talked for a while. Once he got off the phone, though, he continued barking. At one point he bent way over and peered under the counter on which the Macs were displayed, presumably to locate the lost dog. A boy, about 13 or 14 stationed at the Mac next to him shook his head in an awkward display of disapproval. I think it was his first time trying out the gesture in public. In response I rolled my eyes at him. Mentally.
    The barking man countinued barking as he left the store while I stood there arguing with the salesperson as to why I shouldn't have to show a second form of ID to purchase their fine appliances.
    All in all, a surreal experience.
    But anyway, I'm home with my date. Now it's time to "get to know her". I've got my "protection" and pretty soon I'll snap the rubber gloves.
    Oh, my... now they know about the rubber gloves...

  • HT201210 After updating my computer OS to Lion, my iPhone ID seems to be confused, and won't update.  I don't want to lose all the songs in my iPhone (they are gone from my computer), so I'm trying to find a way to work around, get updates but still keep

    I'm wondering how I can update my iPhone after having updated my computer to Lion.  Suddenly, I can't get proper software updates to my phone.  It didn't help matters that I changed my email shortly thereafter, and one of these issues is making me somewhat unrecognizable to Apple, or my phone to my computer.  Something's wrong. When I went to Apple for help, they asked me to put my Serial # in, and then it told me that there was a problem with that, too!  ***?  Anyone have this problem?

  • Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack

    Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

    Ugh I am not doing any of those things.
    I do have alot of issues with my email getting hacked often, could that have anything to do with it?
    I also do not believe my phone is jailbroken but to be honest I am not very smart with this.
    Basically text messages (inappropriate) were sent to a person in my contacts...and a text message conversation was had for about 30 that I had no idea was even going on. I noticed it on my ipad later (they are synced and normally recieve all the same messages etc). The conversation then just ended out of no where.
    Very odd...and I am nervous that someone has control over my phone.

    I must be more specific:

    No, you don't. If you got it from the Mac App Store, log into it with the same Apple ID and redownload it for free. If you got it from CDs or DVDs, reinstall it from those; having the DVD version of a program does not get you a free download of it from the Mac App Store.

  • I downloaded GarageBand on my ipod but I want to buy all the instruments how do I do that

    I downloaded GarageBand on my ipod but I want to buy all the instruments how do I do this

    All of the instruments are listed. It prompts you if you want to buy all of the instruments if you try to use one that is locked. If you bought your device after the iOS 7 release, you're fine and all of the instruments are unlocked.

  • Is there a way to put a large amount of music on your iPod without having to keep all the files in iTunes on your computer as well? I want to put my entire music collection (including cds) on my iPod but don't want to take up the space on my computer.

    is there a way to put a large amount of music on the ipod without having to keep all the files on itunes as well? I want to use my ipod as an externa drive and put all of my music on it without taking up the space on my computer. I also don't want to lose all my files everytime I plug ipod into my computer. Is this possible? Is there a way to avoid using itunes and only use the ipod as an external drive?

    You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
    It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
    A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
    You still need a backup of that Library.
    Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

  • HT1414 is there another way to fix my iPad it says to do a restore but don't want to lose all my games and trophies i've done

    i was in the middle of updating my ipad and of course the battery died, the computer doesnt charge up the ipad while plugged in (very stupid) and now it wants to restore i don't want to lose all my trophies in the games that ive played if i do a restore....can anyone help me

    If you backed up the iPad before you tried to update, you can restore the iOS and then restore from the backup. If you don't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do about it now.
    You will have to restore the iPad in order to make it operational again and you will lose all of your data. If you don't sync with iTunes and cannot recover your media again that way, you can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.

    Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked?so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

    As has been said, the iPhone itself can't be hacked this way, as far as anyone currently knows.
    Your Apple ID is another story. Any kind of online accounts can be hacked, and Apple IDs are no exception. If someone hacks your Apple ID, they could see all the data in the associated iCloud account, such as contacts, and could send those contacts texts that would appear to come from you. If that were to happen, you should see an alert on your other devices that your Apple ID is being used with Messages on a new device.
    If you have not seen that alert, it's unlikely that this problem is occurring due to such a hack. In that case, it would be more likely that either someone has gotten their hands on your phone, or some other Apple device registered to your Apple ID, and has used it to send that message. Or that the person claiming you sent a picture is lying for some reason.
    If you believe your Apple ID may have been hacked, you should change your password immediately (at appleid.apple.com). You should also seriously consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID.

  • I bought an album but it has not registered to buying all the songs?

    I purchased a whole album by clicking on the buy all under the album cover. The songs downloaded but when I checked, one was missing. It says I have not purchased one of the songs from the album and yet I have the 'Album Only' songs. How is this possible and how to I get the missing song without having to pay for it again?

  • Want to use Premier Pro and After Effects but don't want to buy CC

    I have CS6 Design/Web Premium standalone edition and want to add Adobe CS6 Premier Pro and CS6 After Effects Standalone to the group.
    I've downloaded the trial versions of Premier pro and After Effects to get me past this recent job issue, but I may need to purchase it after the trial runs out.
    If the job I've got pending does not pan out I'll go back to using Final Cut X and Motion.
    But if it does pan put I'll want to buy the standalone versions as I'm not into Hacking and Kracks.
    I do not like the idea or want to "upgrade" to CC so please no suggestions about this.
    Any clues. For some reason I'm not able to ask Adobe directly as they do not appear to supply and email address to be contacted, and I'm now on this forum sharing my questions to the community.
    Anyone out there with an idea to help in this regard?

    Hi,
    You can buy standalone Premiere Pro and After Effects CS6 from the below link:-
    Creative Suite 6
    You can also contact our Sales Team
