Possible to use Apple ID balance to gift apps?

I have $10 on my Apple ID balance, and I wanted to use $2.99 to gift an app to a friend, but I can´t see how - iTunes only asks me to enter my credit card info (or, ironically, a new giftcard-code) but not draw from my existing amount. Is it even possible?
If it isn´t, then why not? The money is linked to my account, so shouldn´t I be able to use it how I see fit on the app-store? One way or the other it´s gonna be used, right?

Sorry, but you can't gift an app from the balance of an iTunes gift card or certificate. That must be done with either a debit or credit card.

Using Apple ID balance for gifting

I wish to use credit from my Apple ID when gifting an app, rather than incurring an additional credit card charge. Is this possible?

No. Apple doesn't allow it.

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

Is it possible to use Apple's fonts for commercial use?

Is it possible to use Apple's fonts for commercial use?
Thank you very much.

Here's a look at the font agreement section from OS X Mountain Lion:
E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
So basically, you need to examine the fonts to see if there are notes on usage restrictions or limitations.

How to top up apple id balance except gift cards?

Hi there.
Is there a way to top up apple id balance except gift cards?
Thank you.

You cannot top up a balance from a credit card or debit card. Gift cards are the way to top up.

We use Apple and we want Ukrainian App Store!

We use Apple and we want Ukrainian App Store!
We, Ukrainian Apple users, ask American and European Apple teams to create Ukrainian App Store.
We want to register our accounts legally. We want to pay for software and want to have an easy access to the apps, since this is one of the reasons why we buy Apple products.
We are deeply upset with the fact that App Store is available now in 123 countries around the world including Belorussia and Trinidad and Tobago but not in Ukraine. We have to beg our friends abroad to register accounts for us and to buy iTunes Gift cards on eBay.
Russian App Store is not of much help, quite frequently it does not accept Ukrainian credit cards.
So, we use Apple and we want Ukrainian AppStore!
Sincerely yours,
Ukrainian Apple Users

Possible to use Autmator to quit all open apps?

Is it possible to use Autmoator to quit all open apps?
I'm looking for either a script, or a utility, that will quit all the apps I have open at one keystroke (apart from hitting the shutdown button)
The "FunKeys" utility used to do this, but it's not compatible with Intel Macs.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

You can use the following AppleScript in a "Run AppleScript" action and save it off as a Finder plug-in to give you a contextual menu.
I have put in a test to prevent Script Editor from being quit. That could be removed if you need it to be.
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "System Events"
set theProcesses to name of application processes whose background only is false
repeat with i from 1 to count of theProcesses
set thisProcess to item i of theProcesses
if (thisProcess is not equal to "Script Editor") and (thisProcess is not equal to "Finder") then
my QuitProcess(thisProcess)
end if
end repeat
end tell
to QuitProcess(thisApplication)
tell application thisApplication
quit
end tell
end QuitProcess</pre>

Sending gift or purchase and using Apple ID balance?

I'm trying to send a gift of money, or a gift of a TV show and I want Apple to use my Apple ID balance instead of my previously entered CC. Any way to ensure that they zero out the balance first?

Katy,
Apple, like almost all online retailers, does not permit the use of a credit balance to make gifts.

How do I use my Apple ID balance to buy apps in iTunes

It's my question.
My Apple ID balance has $10.00.Now I want use it to buy a app(Pages) in iTunes.
But it told me that I have a problem:Insufficient remaining store credit. I don't no how to solve this problem.
My billing info doesn't have credit card. Because I do not have it.
Could you help me,please.

Exactly:
AGAIN:
" You do not have enough money in your account to pay for the app and the taxes."
Do you think the taxes on $9.99 are a penny or less?
Depending on where you live, they are likely $.50 - $.80

Using Apple ID Balance with Family Sharing Enabled

I currently have 4 Apple accounts setup within my Family Sharing settings. All four are setup to use a shared payment method from my account. My primary account has a balance, yet any purchase made from a family member only uses the credit card. Only purchases I make deduct from my balance. Is there a way to have the shared family devices pull from the primary account's balance first before charging the credit card?

Hello MattPanton,
Lets see if we can isolate the issues with Family Sharing. Lets start with the Contacts issue. Now with Family Sharing, Contacts is something that is not part of what can be shared. You would be looking at things like purchases, calendars and the Find My iPhone features. So as far seeing the wrong contacts, check to make sure that your account is not signed in anywhere on her devices. To answer your other question about how to obtain someone else’s purchases you would need to navigate to the appropriate store, like iTunes and App stores, and navigate to the purchases area and you should see the option of the other person to see what you can download to your device. Take a look at the articles below and let me know if you need any thing else or further assistance.

Is it possible to use Apple TV to display what I am viewing or listining to on my Macbook Pro?

Morning folks-
Curious if streaming music from any other player other than iTunes is possible? I listen to a ton of www.panicstream.com which features 90+% of all Widespread Panic shows going back to the mid 80's......as well as, recorded live streams from many other bands from AC/DC to ZZ Top.....fabulous free website for any music fan......If someone told me that it was possible it would make my day!! Blessed day to all!
Thanks!

No it's not possible.
Airplay works with iTunes and on iOS devices, so you wont be able to use it for websites on your MBP.
While Mirroring will be possible with iOS 5 your MBP won't run iOS 5.
Mirroring is possible from your MBP using an appropriate cable but it doesn't require an Apple TV.
