Itunes gift rip-off

I just bought an album on itunes for my brother in France. But he can not download it as when he tries it says it os only valid in the USA>
I can neither fix this or get my money back. Seems like a rip off.

It's not a rip-off. It says quite clearly in the iTunes Store that gifts are valid only in the country of purchase. You cannot give an iTunes gift to another country. Your best option, and certainly the easiest, is to just redirect the gift to someone you know in the US:

A refund may not be possible since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:

It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

  • ITunes Plus Rip Off

    Not saying it's Apple's fault...but why would I pay to upgrade my song, when, had I bought it (in one case) 2 weeks later, it would have been iTunes Plus and the same price? This makes no sense to me. I mean, I know the record companies are evil, but c'mon. Am I missing something here...or is this a complete rip off? Either way, I'm not paying over 100 dollars to upgrade my entire purchases at the 128 bit rate. I've been listening to them without any problems since I had them, though I would rather they be at 256. I also remember when iTunes Plus was 1.29 a song or something like that. So, I'm thinking with time, the upgrade will be free...or at least individually selectable. If not...I'm not paying for stuff I already own that's not increased in price.

    I am glad I am not the only one who thinks this is a bit unfair. I don't think it is Apple's fault. Like you, I don't think it makes much sense. I have ~1500 iTunes songs. I purchased my first song around day 1 or so when iTunes first opened. Why would I spend $450 to upgrade these songs? I'd like to have the better versions. Absolutely, but $450 is tooo steep. I might pay a flat fee of $25 or $50 to upgrade all the older format songs when they become available. I might even pay $0.03 per song which is $45 in my case, but not $450.00! It makes no sense.

  • Is there any way to take an itunes gift card off of my account after it has been redeemed?

    If so, how?
    I have redeemed my gift card but share my account with my sister. I would like to take off the remaining balance of the gift card (to use later) so my sister can use her own money to buy content.
    How can you do this?

  • ITunes a rip off

    Today i brought 4 cd's for £20 (2 stones 2 led zep) from HMV,full lp's with plastic case and a booklet,iTunes want £7.99 each no plastic case and no booklet,when i got home i put the cd's onto my ipod and then put the disc's on the shelf for everybody to look at and read,haven't found away to do this with a download yet,i think people who rave about itunes it's a case of emperors new clothes.

    Well I did not renew my i tunes match subscription at the first of the year because it is a flawed product. I'm sure Apple had good intentions but they never delivered the product they advertised. I will not bore you with the loss of much irreplaceable music gone from my library, and the money I spent to resolve the isuues I encountered thanks to my Match subscription.
    My advice to you is to cancel your subscription to Match ASAP and let Apple know what a crappy product Match is.Good luck getting your money back, also.

  • I scrached off the code to my Itunes gift card and now cant reemdem $50. What do I do?

    So my husband peeled off the part where you are supposed to scratch and took off a good portion of the code on the back of 2 25 dollar itunes gift cards. I do not have the recipet and do not know what to do. Is there anyway I can still redeem then?
