Is there a way to purchase an app at the App Store as a gift for someone else by having the App Store send it to them as a gift from you?

  • I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD but it is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are. Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store?

    I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD, a Kpop group. It is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are.
    Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store? (The album is called The Boys)

    Well how much does the album cost? Because I have an issue with this except I live in America and I wish to purchase something from the Australian store... perhaps I can gift you your album and you could gift me my album.

  • Can I purchase an iBook as a gift for someone else?

    Can I purchase an iBook as a gift for someone else?

    If I am sending a book as a gift via iTunes, how does the person open it up in iBooks, if does it automatically open up in iBooks.  I just don't want any difficulty for my father to open and enjoy his book.  Would I be better to just download it directly onto his ipad and not have it as a gift for him, could there be some technical or other difficulties for him?

  • Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

    I have 14 Apps that have updates available.  I was able to update a few using my Apple ID.  However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
    I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
    I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results.  This is fairly new problem.  I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone.  But not anymore.  I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
    Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
    Thanks

    Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
    It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

  • Is there a way to purchase multiple copies of an App via one account?

    I am the IT-support for a high school in New Zealand.  They have asked to buy three copies of Final Cut Pro X for student use.  FCPX can only be purchased through the App Store.  I have created an account and purchased a copy, but it doesn't look like I can purchase additional copies without creating additional accounts.
    We are unable to purchase anything through the Business or Education stores because they are US-only.
    Is there any other way around this, or is Apple just blowing it big time in NZ?
    Thanks.

    The MAS is a complete mess for non-individual purchases. I handle most of the Apple purchase orders at my college and for digital distribution via the MAS the key is number is a quantity of 20 or more.
    First of all, you should have some kind of contact within Apple's NZ Education Sales department. If not, you should find out who that is.
    For FCPX, if you need three copies, you need to create three individual Apple IDs and make three separate purchases. This is absolutely asinine, but that's how it's setup. Even better, in America, there's no way to become tax exempt, so they charge us tax and then we have to request a refund, where they then mail us a paper check.
    If you want 20 or more copies of anything, I contact my Edu sales rep and get a quote for it, then we pay via purchase order. Then we receive an E-Mail with individual MAS redemption codes for the number of licenses we ordered. Then you just redeem one code, download the app, and deploy it out, either through ARD (Apple Remote Desktop), or however else you want to.
    So in summary, try to order 20 or more of anything. Once you hit 20 there's a price break of roughly 50% and your Apple NZ Edu sales rep should have a PDF of their Edu product matrix pricing. If you order less than 20 of a product, it's a huge pain in the ***. Establish one centralized MAS Apple ID, or at least one per dept. For example: [email protected] (music dept's redemption account). Redeem one code for whatever App you've purchased, deploy the rest out however you prefer and just keep track of the amount of licenses you've used vs. the amount you've ordered.

  • My daughter cant remember her passcode, and she has never synced it.  Is there any way to restore without losing all the apps and music?

    My daughter can't remember her passcode, and she has never synced it.  Is there any way to restore it without losing all the apps and music that were downloaded?

    If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
    Follow the instructions for putting the device in recovery mode >  iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    If you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later installed, and iOS 4.3.3 or later, can re download iTunes purchases for free.
    So retore the iPod, then re download the iTunes media.

  • I have a pre-App Store version of Logic. Is there any way I can switch over to the App Store version?

    I'm trying to install Logic Pro on my new MacBook Air, and without a drive, it's going to take more work to install. I own the latest version, but I still need the discs to install from. Is there some way I can "upgrade" to the App Store version so installing now, and in the future, is easy to do without an external drive?
    Thanks so much!
    Grig

    In addition to Niel's answer.....
    Just wait until the next major version of Logic becomes available (whenever that might be) and then when you pruchase that from the App Store, the issue of there being two different versions of Logic 9, will be over as everyone will have to purchase the new version via the App Store.

  • Is there a way to re-download iWork from the app store even though it came pre-installed on my mac before the App store existed?

    I bought my macbook with pages '09 pre-installed. I can find my disk anymore. Keynote and Numbers are working properly, but I want to reinstall pages because I am having a few minor issues with it. If I look at pages in the App Store, it shows that I would have to re-purchase it.

    Short answer, no.
    Fuller answer, the two are not the same and are not interchangeable. Yes, if you want the MAS version, you will need to buy it. But you should be able to hunt down the trial of the disk version out there on the internet, install it and activate it with your serial number. There is a thread somewhere in this forum from last year that has a link. I hunted it down for someone in a similar situation.
    UPDATE -
    I found the thread;
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20238439
    The trial file still appears to be downloadable. This time make sure that you keep backup copies. It may disappear without notice.

  • Is there any way to get a list of the apps installed on my phone through MyVerizon?

    I am going to be upgrading in a few days, and I want to obtain a list of all the apps I have installed, so that I can cull out the ones I don't use much or at all.
    Is there a list on the MyVerizon website anywhere of what's installed on my phone??

    If you have an android phone, you can log into your Gmail account on the Play Store website and see which applications are installed and downloaded at one time. You can also see the same installed list in the Play Store app on the phone.

  • I want to purchase my wishlist as a gift for someone else, without buying it for me. How do I gift a whole list instead of each song singlely?

    how do I purchase a wishlist of songs for someone as a gift. I only want to pay for the songs once!

    I agree. It seems a strange oversight, since the people most likely to want to gift a track are those who own and like it already. You can comment to Apple here, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I did, and I urge anyone else bothered by this to comment as well.

  • Is there any way to disable or not allow the private browsing function on Firefox for Mac?

    I have 3 young preteen/teenage sons who use our family iMac as their computer. Even though I have a filter on the router to prevent them from getting into trouble, I occasionally check their browsing history just to see when/where they are browsing. On a couple of instances, there has been no history shown for certain websites I know they have visited (per the router report), so I am wondering whether they have activated private browsing to cover their tracks, and if there is parental control function to disable the Private Browsing feature in Firefox.

    Thanks Rick for your Quick replay,
    As my consultant told me , They will get lot of approval messages so we have to make only one inbox message for approval.
    When they select Yes or No , if agreement is not locked by others will get approved or rejected no problem.
    But if agreement is locked , it will get checked only after they hit approve or reject so i will be displaying a message to them that this agreement is locked Hit Cancel button and do the Task later .
    so the approver will comeback at later at 20 or 30 mins and will execute the workitem which on double clicking will execute the already selected ( approve or reject ) status change only .
    This is how i  suggested them and they said okay.
    Only problem they are saying  with LOOP is they have to refresh the SBWP inbox when ever they met with lock of agreement .
    If you still feel using loop and sending again is the best way i will try to ask them again and see.
    Thanks,

  • Can I buy an app twice-once for myself and as a gift for someone else?

    I purchased an app that I like (Paper Essentials) and would like to buy a copy for a friend but I do not see any way to do that. The pull down menu beside "Download" does not have a "Gift" option in the way that the pull down menu beside "Buy" in an unpurchased app does.

    Well, I'm not aware of any app under that title in the stores. Can you please re-verify?
    If you are trying to gift this for Mac os X, then you can't.
