ITunes Gift Certificates in different country.

Is it possible for me to purchase an iTunes gift certificate for a friend in another country? I live in US, friend in China. Thanks.

As far as I know, this is not possible.
Sorry.

Can I purchase and use iTunes gift certificates in my country?

Someone told me that there is a loophole in the iTunes Store ...
People living in countries where iTunes Store is not available (i.e. the entire Asia except Japan) can go on line to purchase Gift Certificates and then purchase music on iTunes Store.
Two questions: first can I use my credit card (the billing address is NOT amongst those listed in the iTunes Stores) to purchase the certificates. Second, if I receive the certificates electronically (say given to me from a friend in Australia where iTunes Store exists), can I (living in a country with no iTunes Store) use those certificates to purchase music?

No Gift certificates, like credit cards, are regionally enforces. You would still have to have a billing address in the country where the card was purchased in.

HT201209 How to redeem iTunes gift card in different country?

I'm from Malaysia. But my iTune gift card is from U.S. . When I tried to redeem it, it told me to redeem at U.S. storefront. Can anyone help me?

You can't redeem it outside of the USA. You also can't change the iTunes Store country while any of its balance remains.

ITunes gift certificates

More a rant than a question :)
I want to buy a relative an album on iTunes. She lives in Italy, I live in the UK. Yet we can only redeem an iTunes gift certificate in the country it was purchased.
Why is this? iTunes is missing a massive market here, though I assume there's some licensing issue. I can buy the album on Amazon and have it sent directly to her, but why not make it downloadable worldwide? Anyone know?..

It is a licensing/copyright issue.
As much as we'd like to think there is a global economy, there isn't when it comes to copyrights.

HT201209 how can I buy an iTunes gift certificate for someone living in Colombia?

How do I buy an iTunes gift certificate from US iTunes for someone who lives in Colombia? The fine print on the gift certificate page says it can only be redeemed in a US iTunes store.
Is this true? And if so is there a work around?

OK, I see what point you were trying to make previously. You are talking about the misspelling of the name. That was SO not clear in your post. As you can tell, both roamminggnome and I missed your intent.
If you want to educate people on the common misspelling of the country Colombia, then state your case clearly. You will get a lot further that way. Being condescending about the mistake is not productive, and you won't achieve your goal that way.
That having been said, it seems a bit pointless to bring up a two year old post that has a spelling error in it and then post to it only to call out that error.
This is not an English course - it is a technical user to user forum. We have to put up with egregious spelling errors daily on this site. It is not the place to start a campaign on the proper spelling of the country Colombia. You might want to try to direct that considerable indignation somewhere where it will actually make a difference.
Sorry for the misspelling in my post of the country. I can promise you, I won't make that mistake again.
Cheers,

HT201195 Redeeming an iTunes Gift Certificate in another store

Hey all,
I just sent a frient an iTunes gift certificate for a certain amount of money. However, it turns out my friend has an account associated with the US store, while mine is in another store; so when he tries to redeem it, he gets an error message saying this gift certificate isn't redeemable in his store.
What can I do about this?

Transfer songs I purchased w/iTunes gift certificates but loaded on a friend's Mac to my PC

I originally posted this problem in a way that didn't reflect that I bought the iTunes songs that I am trying to transfer from a Mac to a PC, so the post was removed. Please note I am not doing anything illegal. I bought the songs using iTunes gift certificates, but didn't know how to use the iTunes store and know next to nothing about technology, so my friend created a playlist for me on her Mac, it is under her name, but she used my gift certificates to purchase the songs, so I paid for the music. So, here's my problem (and take into account I am not technically savvy). I use my iPod nano every day and have an extensive playlist, but my iPod nano is synched with a friend's Mac and under her account, and she has moved out of the area I live in. I downloaded iTunes for Window (7) onto my PC and opened my own account. How do I transfer my playlist from my iPod nano under my friend's Mac account (and there's no way to contact her) to my PC and my own iTunes account? I was told to first "unsynch" my iPod from her Mac using Senuti or Export on my PC, but I cannot find a free version of either program, and don't want to download a free program from a website that may be unreliable. From there, I'm totally lost. So, I basically want to know if this can be done, because I have to hire a technician at my local Apple store to do this whole process for me (I'm terrified of losing my playlist) and want to keep the costs down (they charge $40 per half hour and money is tight for me). I also want to back up my playlist, and looked into creating a Cloud account, but it says to synch my iPod with Cloud first, and I don't dare to try that on my own, so I guess I'll have to pay for the techs to do it. Is there another way to store my playlist, such as a flash drive? Still, I don't dare to touch anything on my iPod without face-to-face technical support. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Chris CA, 62,910 points. Dang...that's a lot of support. Before I start, let me say Thank You! You need to answer a lot of people's questions to achieve that.
1) You slightly misunderstood my letter through no fault of your own. It was a generic compilation of information submitted by members of this discussion turned into a letter by me for use on the Apple Feedback site. I myself did not receive an e-mail. I actually was prevented from purchasing any more iTunes gift cards at a certain point and was given a cryptic response from the iTunes store that my request could not be processed. It was only after investigation on my part that I found out the reason was the $100 max per 30 day rule. I'd try to find where in the Apple's support site I did find that information...but, well, you are just going to have to trust me. However, others in this discussion stated they received the information in an e-mail. I used that fact in my letter as it seemed to create a less "cumbersome" feedback submission.
2) "Why look for iOS apps?" That's a good very good question! I miswrote. I should have said "OS X apps." That is where iTunes is located on the Feedback Site. Good catch. As you know (62,910 points is a lot of "knowing"), when you submit feedback you must click on the item of which you are going to write. I must be so ramped up for the impending release of the new iPhone that I had iOS on the brain. My bad. :-)
3) In all the time this discussion has been alive (over a year), and in all my googling, I never read about an option to contact iTunes support and ask them to remove this limit from my account. It is too bad you didn't come to this discussion when it started in May of 2011 to offer that piece of advice! Surprisingly, that information wasn't anywhere on the Apple site where I read about the $100/30 day limit. Maybe it is there now. But, it sure wasn't there when I read it. It would have been very helpful.
4) You say "(which they can do and often have done for many people here)." I am curious, what do you mean by "here." Not "here" as in "here in THIS discussion forum." Right? I don't see anyone in this discussion aware of that information and posting it for others to read. By "here" I assume you mean the ENTIRE Apple Support Community. Unfortunately, until you arrived on the scene, none of those from that gigantic "here" came across THIS discussion to share their good fortune and knowledge about removing the $100 limit on iTunes gift card purchases per 30 days.
Well, I think that wraps it up for another day. I am off to iTunes support to get this limit removed from my account.
Adios amigos!

I purchased 5 itunes gift certificates, only printed one. Where do I go to print the other 4?

I purchased 5 itunes gift certificates, only printed one. Where do I go to print the other 4?

I should have printed the gift certificates one at a time as I purchased. Lesson learned too late.
Went through the iTunes Gift Options last night, but couldn't find how to access gift certificates already processed, but not yet printed.
Thanks

Missing iTunes gift certificate

I recently sent an iTunes gift certificate to a friend, but they never received it. I sent it about a week ago via email, and it was for $20. I really need this to go through, or for it to be refunded. Thanks .

First have your friend check their email settings, both in their email application and with their ISP, to make sure the mail didn't get filtered out by a spam filter. Then here are the steps to resend a gift certificate...
1. Launch iTunes.
2. Click on the Store icon in the Source pane to go to the iTunes Store.
3. Click on your account name to sign in to the iTunes Store.
4. Enter your password.
5. Click Purchase History.
6. Click the small grey arrow next to the Gift Certificate you'd like to resend.
7. Scroll to the bottom of the detail screen for the Gift Certificate and re-enter the recipient's email address.

**Selling Itunes Gift Certificate on Ebay after being redeemed and used??**

I recieved an itunes gift certificate via email for 50.00. I have already redeemed it in the itunes store and used it so now there is around 33.00 left on the certificate. Is it possible to sell the remaining amount on Ebay? If when they win and i give them the gift certificate code, will it work for them? Please reply! Thanks!

Why can't your friend use the Gift Certificate?
The below text is from the page http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/gift/
"I would like to cancel my gift:
Because your gift is immediately transmitted to your recipient, we are not able to cancel your gift once your order is placed."
iTS customer service is web access only - there is no phone number.
Are you using the correct web page to submit your problem? You can look at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/ and see which option is best for you.

Purchase iTunes Gift Certificate without iTunes account?

My father wants to buy me an iTunes gift certificate on-line, but he neither has nor wants an iTunes account of his own and/or iTunes on his computer. He does have a credit card, but as far as I can tell, there's no way to do buy an on-line certificate for someone else without your own iTunes account. Does anyone know if this is possible? Can't believe Apple would be stupid enough to leave money on the table just to try to make sure iTunes is on every computer on the planet, but I've been wrong about them before, too.

-> iTunes Gift Cards
Or he can go to just any store (7-11, Circle K, Walmart, Best Buy, Circuit City, King Soopers, Safeway, etc.) and get one.
