Lo, didst thou knoweth ‘t be possible to dispatch gifts from thy Apple machine? Verily, thou canst sendeth books, movies, music, videos, and apps from thy Apple devices to a companion if they partake in Apple’s media services like Apple Music or the App Store.
Yet, perchance thou may find thyself unable to bestow gifts from thy device. Hence, if thou doth encounter such a conundrum, hark, these be the potential reasons.
1. The Recipient Resides in a Different Land or Region
Much akin to how the receiver of an Apple Gift Card cannot utilize it beyond the borders whence it was obtained, the recipient of a gift from an Apple device cannot employ it beyond the confines of the land or region where it was dispatched. ‘Tis because their Apple ID dwelleth in a different land or region.
For instance, shouldst thou seek to gift an app or game from the App Store in the United States, the individual thou intendeth to send it to must needs possess an Apple ID in the United States. Yet, they might circumvent this obstacle by altering their App Store country, albeit it bringeth its own set of drawbacks.
2. Thou Resideth in an Unsupported Land or Region
Thou might find thyself incapable of sending gifts for thou canst not purchase music, apps, movies, or books in thy land or region. ‘Tis forsooth due to certain lands or regions lacking access to certain Apple services. For example, if thou dost abide in Croatia, thou shalt not be able to bestow books from the App Store.
Perchance thou couldst rectify this issue by altering thy App Store and iTunes country, yet, as we afore mentioned, it hath several issues of its own. Thou canst consult Apple Support to ascertain which Apple services thy land can access.
3. Thy Family Sharing Settings
4. Using the Wrong Device to Gift an Item
Shouldst thou seek to bestow a gift, ’tis imperative to consider whether thou art on an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC. Thou can send forth gifts from the App Store, Apple Books, or iTunes Store on an iPhone or iPad. Upon a Mac or PC, thou can dispatch gifts using the iTunes Store.
An iPhone or iPad art requisite to bestow apps, TV shows, or movies, whilst a Mac or PC art needed to bestow individual songs. Alas, at present, there existeth no remedy for this.
5. Thou Attempteth to Bestow a Gratis App
An thou findest thyself unable to bestow an item from the App Store, perchance it becometh so for ’tis free. Whilst thou canst only bestow paid items, yond is conceivable to share free ones as well. To do so, tapeth the share button adjacent to the app, then chooseth a recipient or thy preferred means of sending it.
Make the Most of Apple’s Gifting Feature
Art thou in pursuit of a wondrous gift for a cherished one who also partaketh in Apple’s realm? Dispatch unto them an app, song, book, or another item thou knowest they shall adore from thy device.
And shouldst thou desirest them to enjoy flexibility in choosing betwixt apps or books, dispatch unto them an Apple Gift Card instead. Whatsoever it may be, they art certain to treasure the gift.
