Use of "autres" instead of "d'autres" or "des autres"

In the third paragraph beginning, "Dans les décennies qui suivent", the expression "autres" appears without a "d'" or a "des" preceeding it. According to the PwLF lesson, that's incorrect.

Tarte aux pommesIs this considered another « fixed » expression used to describe food. Just curious because as « pommes » is feminine and plural one would normally say « tarte à les pommes » . Are there other similar exceptions?

The example for dropping 'ne' explétif in speechThe example in the remark near the end of the lesson does not have a negation in the main verb, so it wouldn't need 'ne' explétif. In fact, it's exactly the same phrase that was used in the first example in this lesson: Il est venu sans que tu le saches.

How do you replace a noun with a preposition other than à or de please?Il faut que j’achète un cadeau pour son anniversaire. I must buy a present for his birthday. I know you can use the adverbial pronoun y to replace 'à + noun', and en to replace 'de + noun', but how would you replace 'pour son anniversaire' in the sentence above please? In order to make the sentence: I must buy a present for it? [Am i right in thinking this called replacing an object of a preposition with a pronoun?]
