What happens if I gift apps/music that the recipient already has?

I've seen others that asked the same question but they haven't been answered. If the recipient already has a song or app that I gifted them, can they redeem the gift for something else?
Thanks!

You get two copies of the album. You can't use the gift code to get a different album. You get what the purchaser chose for you.

  • HT2736 What if I gift a movie that the other subscriber has already purchased or been gifted?

    Is there any way to see the other users purchased or gifted movies prior to gifting them another copy???

    The money will be lost, since there's no way to exchange or return a gift. The giver is not automatically refunded if the recipient does not use the redemption code. It's therefore best to confirm that the intended recipient does not already have the item before giving the gift; I know that's not as much fun, but it's safest.
    Regards.

  • HT2736 Gifting an album that you didn't know the recipient already has

    I would like to give an album to my daughter as a gift.  What happens to the gift if it turns out that she already has the album? Will she be able to use the amount spent on something else?

  • HT1541 Gifted an album the recipient already has.  Want to exchange for new album.

    I gifted an album to someone who already bought the same album.  How can I recall the gift and exchange it for an album he does not have?

    There is no such capability. You can contact the iTunes Store:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and explain the situation and ask if there's anything they can do for you. They may be able to grant an exception, though it's not guaranteed since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. If they can't help then all you can do is redirect the gift to someone else:

  • What happened to my gifted app!

    My friend gifted me an app from her account (Squats Pro from Runtastic). I received the email and clicked redeem. I redeemed the code then I put the phone in my pocket. Now the app is no where to be seen! Not in my app list, not on my phone or not even my account. When I go to the app in the App Store it tells me to buy it.
    I Tried to redeem the code again but then it said the code has already been redeemed.
    She got charged on her credit card for the app already.

    I redeemed the code then I put the phone in my pocket.
    You may have redeemed the code but not follow through with the download.
    Tap Settings > App Store > Updates. That wil take you to the Purchased list.
    See if the app is available for download there.

  • HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

    Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

    Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

    Basically, the computer thinks the music is 'lost'. Follow the prompts and try to locate it. It should navigate to the files and redraw the links which should make that pop up go away

  • What happened to my gift card credit?

    I know how to review my purchase history in my iTunes account.  But, how do I find out what happened to a gift card credit?  Per my my account's purchase history, I only used $10 of a $50 gift card (assuming the culprit is NOT user error, e.g., I redeemed on the incorrect account).  Can I search "payment history" in addition to purchase history?  Thanks.

    I am currently in 'discussion' with iTunes about this very issue.  It's happened to me at least twice before when I redeemed a Gift card and didn't use the full amount.  A couple of weeks later... the 'credit' was gone!
    I also question as to why iTunes do NOT show gift card redemptions... VERY sus imho!!!  Why dont they??!!
    I have asked iTunes to provide me with a list of all my transactions for this year so I can see when, where and how my credits were used.  So far the best I got was "check your account balance".  They have said they will look into it from another side (ie. not via their customer support) but I will give them a week before I go to Fair Trading and make a formal complaint.
    I have provided them screen shots, dates, my purchase history etc. and the numbers just dont add up.  Either my credit balance expired (in the space of a couple of weeks) or someone is skimming accounts - which is on the iTunes system.  Either way iTunes have a case to answer!
