  • Mac App Store -- why can't I 'gift' Mac Apps? Gifting specific apps in the iTunes store is easy. This is not the case on the Apple Mac App Store.

    An alternative is to purchase an iTunes gift card that can be redeemed for apps in the Mac App Store.

  • HT2736 Why can't we gift Final Cut Pro X?

    It's nice to be able to gift movies and books and whatever, but why can't we gift larger apps? I want to get FCPX for a friend, but I have no "Send as Gift" option to do so in the App Store (whether from my laptop or phone). Now, I have to get him to bring me his computer, then send him a gift card for the amount, then go on and buy the app for him with the credit. So incredibly tedious, not to mention LAME. At the risk of interfering with your fingerprint scanner R&D, would you please rectify this?

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Suppor nor Apple.
    Final Cut Pro X is a Mac app, it's not available in the iTunes store (this is the Using iTunes forum). As far as I know you can't currently gift any apps from the Mac App Store (I can't here in the UK).

  • HT2736 Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???

    Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???  It allows you to pay using credit card, paypal, or a new iTunes card, but why can we not gift apps and songs to each other using the current balance we have on our accounts from previous iTunes gift card purchases etc.?
    Either I am missing something very obvious here, or Apple's greedy stance on gifting is actually creating less usage of the feature, because I for one would not think twice about purchasing gifts for people with a current balance that is already accounted for, but when it comes to adding money or using a card, it just feels like a new payment, and a bigger monetary burden.
    Please let me know how to do this if it is possible, and if it is not, then PLEASE FIX ?

    I agree with some points that is how it works. Because apple do things they want....
    It's quite nice that way being so unique and remarkable. However it is so inconvenient for users who sometimes just want to gift things without a credit card or such whatever.  Because sometimes it's meaningless to have balance when you aren't able to spend it.
    The point is made. Many are not happy with it but that's life. Just take it or leave it...

  • Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

    Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

    What happens when you try to delete them from the iBooks app on your Mac ? If they are downloaded into the app (i.e. they don't have the cloud symbol on them) then you should be able to select them and then press the delete button on your keyboard to delete them.
    In terms of the cloud, you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show for redownloading, which you can either do via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    Or for the iBooks app you can go into the Store in the app, and on the Featured tab select the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the screen and hide them (hover your mouse pointer on a book and it should get an 'x' on its top left corner, click that to hide the book).

  • Why can't I open books on my laptop

    why can't I read books on my laptop?

    Apple have not created a Mac or PC program that can be used to read them - currently you need the iBooks app, and therefore an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch

  • Why can't I download books onto my phone but I can onto my computer I'm using overdrive for my phone

    Why can't I download books onto my phone but I can onto my computer I'm using overdrive for my phone. Please help thanks

    By 'not accept' you mean ... ? Are you getting any error messages ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are based.

  • Why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?

    why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?  I have adobe acrobat pro XI.  I can open a pdf in acrobat pro and am able to add text to a pdf, but when I open a pdf in firefox, the "add text" option is not available.

    When you install Acrobat XI you are also installing Reader for use in the browser. Reader is "sandboxed", or as it says in the Preferences, it is in "Protected Mode". Acrobat does not understand the concept of running in sandboxed memory (sandbox is a security feature to prevent the bad guy from exploiting a memory error and getting into a memory address where they can do damage to your computer) so to help protect Acrobat users the same way Reader users are protected we just install Reader along with Acrobat, but it is only used in the browser (part of this is because the bad guys use web sites as their primary method of distributing corrupted PDF files that can cause problems).
    That said, because you are in Reader the file needs to be Reader Enabled prior to being posted to the web site (or opened in the browser). Once the file is Reader Enabled you should be able to add the text annotations.

  • Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email

    Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email.  I did not have this problem before

    What is your operating system?
    What is your email client?
    What is your Reader version?
    What exactly means "can't"?
    Does this happen for any attachments, or just PDF files?

  • HT5071 Can I create a book using the IBooks Author word processing software, save it as a PDF, then have it professionally printed by an offset press to sale in brick and mortar stores? If so, is this procedure free me from any IBooks restrictions?

    It's your content, under your control.
    If you output as an .ibooks file, and you want to sell it, the store is the only outlet, otherwise, you can do as you wish.

  • Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

    Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

  • How can I transfer PDF books to the kindle app

    how can I transfer PDF books to the kindle app     

    There are many ways to import your PDFs into Papers for iPad. Obviously the preferred way is if you have a Mac and also use Papers for Mac**. The two apps can wirelessly sync their libraries. But also without a Mac there are plenty of ways. You can upload PDFs directly via iTunes, or you can import PDFs attached to an email from Mail on the iPad. Alternatively, use the Papers bookmarklet to open a webpage you found in Mobile Safari and download the PDF from there. Or you can use the built-in search engines to search for articles and download the PDFs.
