Why can't I gift this greatest OS in the AppStore

The OS is so great that  I want to gift a copy to my friend. Why does the AppStore not allow me to do so?????
This is the only stupid thing I have found in this OS so far!

My advice, just DON'T do what apledude suggested. Just don't.
I would say, go out to the store and buy an iTunes giftcard for your friend, and just tell them it's for Lion.

  • Why can't I use this Find string in the Mac version of Word?

    Dear all,
    I've found this macro of Paul Edstein:
    http://tinyurl.com/onypmay
    The macro works fine in Word for Windows, but in Word:mac I get an error for this line:
    .Text = "\<[!\>\<]{1,}\>"
    Why would that be?
    BTW: What exactly is Paul doing here?
    How to make this macro work in Word:mac 2011 too?
    Thanks!
    Hans

    Since Word is not an Apple product, I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you have questions about:

  • Why can't I write reviews for apps in the AppStore?

    Lately, I cannot write app reviews. I can tap a star rating but when I go to tap the "write a review", the screen huts flashes then reloads the same screen without an entry box. This has happened with several apps.

    Resolved. I can't seem to close this thread onits own so letting everyone know. The solution of All Versions didn't work before but it worked tonite.

  • 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 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...

  • 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).

  • I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
    I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
    Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
    This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
    I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
    Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
    Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

  • I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?

    I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?  I don't want to create another one if I really don't need to
    Any ideas ?

    I'm afraid that once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't re-use it in any way. You will have to create another address (such as a free on from GMail or Yahoo for example).

  • Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

    Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed and saved file name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
    If that does not cure it backup up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iphoto and use the options there - exact option depends on teh version you have
    And always remember - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - nothing - no deletions - no name changes - nothing

  • HT1528 Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

    Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

    Hi UI Guy,
    I can't provide the technical reason, however, I'm farilry certain it is a function of Forum structure itself.
    Don't know if you are interested in suggestions to meet your need to "bookmark pages within the Apple Support system so you can refer back to them easily", but I use them regularly, and do this one of two ways (I use both):
    If it is strictly an Apple Support page that I retrieved from Apple, I bookmark it with clear easy to find names, and put them in my Apple Support Folder in my bookmarks (I use Firefox). That way, when I need to provide a link to someone I'm replying to, I can quickly find the item I want them to be able to link to.
    I also bookmark discussions that have links in them that I may want to use, and tag them so I can find them later.
    I have to say, however, that for Apple Support Pages, the best solution for me has been to have my Apple Folder with my personally named bookmarks in Firefox. Easy to find, easy to cut and paste into a discussion on a separate window, easy to reference when I need to know something.
    Again, don't know if you even wanted to know any of that, but thought I'd share!
    Cheers,
    GB

  • A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?

    In iTunes I have music Playlists set to shuffle (blue double arrow button) and audio books Playlist set no shuffle. I have been unable to get my iPod to follow these settings. A suggested work around is to use the iPod Settings to set the shuffle function to "songs" when playing music and then switching to “off’ for audio books. There has to be a better way. How do I set the Playlists on my iPod to function the same as it does on iTunes?

    LeftyLucy,
    Using your process are you able to set your iPod to shuffle then listen to the audio book without it shuffling the chapters? I have tried your suggestion with the iPod setting set to shuffle and the chapters shuffled. This is the issue from my original post. I want to listen to music with the shuffle function and listen to audio books (no shuffle) without having to change the settings every time I switch.
    Keep in mind that is not a purchased audio nor a imported book.
    Using a tip from the following post:
    Tom Graves, "A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?" #11, 05:26pm Sep 28, 2005 CDT
    I have attempted to make the audio book file into an authenticate file but that did not help.
