Q: Why can't I gift an album that I have purchased?

I would like to gift an album that I have just purchased for myself, but I can't as the "gift to a friend" option is not available...

iPad, iOS 6.1.4

A:

What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version) ? With iOS 6.1.3 I get :

With your computer's iTunes, that is currently a 'feature'. If you log out of your account on it (Store > Sign In) you should then get the gift option on it (and you should also be prompted to sign back in).

My iPad is running 6.1.3, and if I select an album in the store that I've bought then on the 'share' icon on it (the square with the arrow coming out of it) I have an option to gift it, along with mail, message etc - what options do you have ?

I have tried both iPad and PC/WIndows iPad doesn't give me any options and the PC gives me options of Tell a friend, Copy Link, Share with Twitter and Share with Facebook.

I made some progress by trying this from my iPod. Not actually gifted yet. Thanks.

Bizarre workaround (signing off), but it worked!
