12 Days of Gifts FAQ
I’m travelling outside of the country or region in which I have my iTunes store account. Does that affect the countdown and when new gifts arrive?
Because the countdown and new gifts are based on the timezone associated with your account, new gifts will be available at midnight in that timezone.
How do I download my gift?
To download a gift, tap View Gift and then tap Free. To download gifts, you must be signed in with your Apple ID. To download books, you must have the free iBooks app installed. Content availability may vary per region.
Why am I getting an error saying gifts aren't available in my country or region?
This can happen if your country or region settings in the 12 Days of Gifts app don’t match your settings in iTunes. Check that your country or region in the 12 Days of Gifts app matches the country or region associated with the billing address of your Apple ID.
Where can I find the gifts I’ve downloaded?
On your computer, you can find your music, TV and film content in your iTunes library and books in your iBooks library. On your iOS device, you can find your music in the Music app, your TV episodes and films in the Videos app, and your books in the iBooks app. Apps will appear on your home screen. Content availability may vary per region.
Why am I having trouble downloading my app over my mobile network?
You must have a WiFi connection to download files over 100 MB.
How can I get enough storage to download my gift on my iPhone, iPad or iPod?
If you don’t have enough free storage, you can delete other apps or media from your device to create space for your gift. If you don’t want to delete any apps or media from your iOS device, you can download your gift on your computer. Note that some content may be designed for iPad or iPhone, and may not be supported on a computer. Learn more.
