Is there any way I can gift 10.7 Lion to someone? I thought I could just do this, but I don't see how. I need to get it done today. *sigh* Mark |

There's no virtual gift card outside the US either. I think I'm going to have to buy a physical gift card so they can purchase the gift. Apple, you have failed me. Mark |

"Gifting"? ! ? ! What's wrong with the word "giving"? Or even "giving a present"? Also: this forum does not like the Interrobang. |

If you can do it, the way to do it is to go to the page for Lion in the Mac OS app store and there there's a small blue button with the price on. Click the small 'down arrow' also on the button. If that has the 'give as a gift' option that will do what you wish - it sends them an iTunes link in an email that allows them to download it IIRC. Note you need to have a registered CC for this to be available, I can't actually check it as I don't have one on my iTunes account any more. Alternatively go to any supermarket and buy them a £25 iTunes gift card, they're good for App Store purchases too. Jon |

If it's too late, it's too late, but can't an email gift certificate from the iTunes Store be redeemed in the App Store? |

I don't see why not - it's an 'Apple ID' account with a balance on it, so adding funds in iTunes applies to the app store too. They'll need to use the same login on both though. Jon |

I've been in Germany too long! I read "Poisoning 10.7"  (German "Gift" = English "Poison".) |

That could be socially awkward if you aren't careful... Jon |

I read it as "Poisoning 101", as though it were a personal development course.

You should have seen a German friend's face, when I first met her kids, I had got them a Teddybear and a dog from the Bear Factory in Southampton and I blurted out "I have gifts for your kids"

Which reminds me of an episode of Playaway (with Brian Cant and Cloe Ashcroft) where they were somewhere in Europe with a similar kid’s show from that country. Brian had a gift and presented it as such. The Gift/poison confusion was explained with the kind of mirth that Playaway brought to such things. |
