Unable to gift song in iTunes UK

I've done this before once, but today when I try to gift as song I can see nothing that gives me this option. Any suggestions? Have they stopped this feature?

Just continue my little discussion with myself...
I've now discovered that it's only iTunes Plus music that doesn't show the Gift This Music button. If I disable iTunes Plus it re-appears.
I wonder if this is intentional, or a 'bug' that has been overlooked since the introduction of iTunes Plus?

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • HT2736 Gifting song in iTunes

    The person to whom I gifted a song through iTunes never received it, and I have never been charged for it.  Where do I check purchased gifted songs in iTunes?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Purchased gifts and allowances, will show up in your purchase history in the same way that regular purchase items will. If the purchase doesn't appear after a few days, it is probably safe to assume that it has not completed.

  • Download error/unable to download song from itunes?

    I bought songs from itunes store but i can not get them downloded. What I have to do? I have this message showing under the title"download error. Tap to try"
    And anotner message appears: Unable to download song, "name of song" could not be downloaded at this time . Have 2 choice tick done or retry but always message comes up after several try... Would be happy if someone could help. Many thanks!

    Hi All,
    I see this is very old post, however only as of a couple of months back i'm getting a very similar fault.
    I run an iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Mini 2 (cellular) and a Macbook Pro - all using the same iTunes account for my iTunes Match. When the devices are connected to the home Wifi (SKY BROADBAND) not a single problem with the service - However when i attempt to use iTunes match on any device via 3G/4G the devices will skip songs 99% of the time and also not be able to stream previews from the iTunes store.
    I find if i have one of the devices on 3G/4G and turn iTunes match off and back on again, it may be able to stream a few songs ok. However this won't last for too long, and before long the issue will return.
    From a very broad perspective, you'd think that the issue is with the Cellular Service Provider (EE UK), but i've been in contact with their technical team, and are unable to find any issues on their end, as the phone and iPad are both connected OK to the internet via 3G/4G.
    I'm a Technical Analyst by profession, and have tried adjusting all settings, and turning accounts off and back on in different orders to try and find a pattern, but i'm left completely stumped.
    Does anyone have a resolution for this?!
    Please Please Help!!
    Kindest Regards,
    Dan

  • HT1535 I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I am unable to purchase songs on iTunes and I can't sync my iPhone to my computer. Is there a way to revert ot the old version of iTunes (when I had neither of those two problems)?

    I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes (11.0.4). Now I both unable to make purchases on iTunes and unable to sync my iPhone with my computer without restoring it to factory settings (which will erase my data). Is there someway to revert back to 11.0.3 version of iTunes?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing and follow the instructions.

  • Ipod unable to sync songs from itunes store

    So I just bought a new MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.3.. I have transferred my itunes library from my old ibook and all the songs are there. I just tried syncing my ipod, authorized my 2 accounts from itunes, and all but 56 songs were synced. I get an error message saying "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer".. I go to the store menu and authorize both of my known accounts and i get a message saying "these accounts are already authorized".. The only thing I can think of is that my roommate bought songs on itunes with her account, so I asked her for her username and password but it says the username/ password were entered incorrectly. I have tried multiple times and i know im entering her name and password correctly... Is there any other way to get these 56 songs to sync to my ipod? Its just annoying me! Please help!!

    if you select one of those tunes in iTunes, right-click and +get info+, and check the summary pane, you will be shown who purchased the track and the account used. is that different from the accounts you authorized iTunes for ?
    if not, try the suggestions click here.

  • Unable to purchase songs from itunes store .... ?

    hi ,
    from last few days i am trying to purchase songs from itune store but BUY option in missing .... dun no y ?

    If you've bought them recently, it's not actually an authorization issue; the songs are corrupt. Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • Does sending a gift song on itunes count as a track purchase?

    If i send a gift song to my friend will it count as a purchase and help the seller reack the charts?

    Yes.  It counts as a sale whether you buy it for yourself or as a gift.

  • My ipod touch is unable to download songs off itunes or from icloud ...what do I do?

    ever since I got the new update (which actually restored my Ipod losing all my pictures)  I have not been able to sync my songs from itunes or even purchased songs from icloud. If I cannot fix my Ipod  I dont know what I'm going to do with all the songs I have purchased from itunes.

    A restore has nothing to do with pressing or holding any buttons on the device.
    A reset is holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    If the backup completed successfully, a restore will put it back exactly as it was.
    Although, any semi-intelligent person would be regularly importing the pictures from their device to their computer.  Relying on a single device like a phone that can easily be lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair is extremely unintelligent.

  • I am unable to purchase songs on iTunes.

    I'm sure this community has seen this issue posted a lot. But among all of the threads and potential fixes I have been unable to remedy my problem. For the last month and half or so iTunes has not allowed me to click on the button to purchase songs. You know, the button that will have the total dollar amount on it such as "$12.99" or "$1.29" depending on if it is a whole album or single song. I am able to navigate around iTunes just fine, sign in to my account, sign out, preview songs, etc. But not purchase.
    I have an older machine, the most current OS X I can run is 10.5.8.
    As such I have version 10.6.3 of iTunes running, since it is the newest that will install.
    Apple support has offered ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in terms of ways to fix this issue. Not to mention their responses take at least a week. So I now turn to this wonderful and knowledgeable community to help me. Any ideas going forward?
    I have tried to re-install iTunes, no luck. I'm out of ideas, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    It might be your computer.  Do you get the same symptoms when you attempt to buy songs on Amazon MP3 or Google Play?

  • Unable to transfer songs from itunes to iPod

    After a long time trying to get this iPod to function again,I am now unable to transfer some songs on to the iPod.When I attempt to drag and drop a song ,it doesnt want to know.Currently also,the iPod is not recognised by the desktop.Well!!!...It does when I connect it,then it dis appears.

    Well since your getting the "Sad ipod" face, you may have to sent it in for repair. That said, the "iTUnesDB is corrupt" message is covered here along with ways to have windows format the ipod (Link Below)
    Now if you do have to format the ipod with windows, when windows is done YOU HAVE TO RESTORE IT WITH THE IPOD UPDATER BEFORE LOADING IT WITH ITUNES!!!!
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=361771
    If you put the ipod in "Disk Mode" like the instructions say, and you can't get it to show in windows, you will have to disable the "iPodservice.exe" in task manager, format with windows THEN RESTART THE PC so the ipodservice is running again and you can restore it with the ipod updater

  • Please Help: Unable To Transfer Songs from Itunes To Ipod

    I've been plagued with problems every since Thursday when I was attempting to put new songs on my iPod. I got the dreaded sad face with the go to apple support site link. I've did the 5 R's but still no luck. I even reformatted it cause at one point in time I got a pop up telling me that the drive needed to be formatted. Well after doing this and updating it finally appeared to be operating correctly. I was able to load roughly three cd's on it before it went screwy again. I've ended up with the monochrome apple display and then the stupid disk mode do not disconnect one too. I've finally gotten it as of this morning to show up normal but now as soon as I connect my iPod to iTunes I get this pop up error

    Then if I attempt to load any songs it appears to try it but then it hangs up and I get this message.

    I have both a strong wifi and cellular connection.
    I have restarted my phone.
    No problem downloading apps.  Same error with a different song.
    Also checked to make sure I had memory storage left on my iphone - I do.
