Buying movies in the UK ITunes Store?

How do you purchase movies from the UK store? There is no option that I can see. I've looked at the US store and the option is available there. Is it just a matter of time before UK gets it? If I buy it on the US site will they work here (Scotland)?

Movies are only available in the US at present. I believe the plan that was announced when the Movies were introduced is to roll them out to other stores sometime this year. However whether or even if the UK and other stores get them in 2007 will depend on the negotiations with the film distributors for each region. TV shows are subject to the same restrictions and at the moment Apple only has a license to sell them in the US.
Also unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

You can only buy content from your own country's store, to buy from the US store you will need to be in the US with a US billing address on your account. You can try requesting that the film be added to the Australian store, but unless the film studio/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

How to purchase "Movies" through the Canadian iTune store?

Could some one please tell me how to purchase a "movie" through the Canadian iTunes store?
The "Movies" icon only available in the United States iTune store. I tried to set up an account through this US store but was unable due to "no option" for Canadian address.
Back to Canadian iTune store page, but there are no "movies" available for purchase and download.
Please help.

At present movies are only available in the US iTunes store. There are a variety of reasons for this including copyright and licensing issues in different countries.
You cannot purchase anything from an iTunes store outside of the country in which you live as mentioned in the Terms of Sale.
"You agree not to use or attempt to use the Service from outside of the available territory, and that iTunes may use technologies to verify your compliance."
The Terms of Use for the iTMS state that you agree that you won't attempt to make purchases from outside the store's country. The chance is small that Apple will cut off your account, but just be aware that it is possible. They certainly won't support your use of the US iTMS from Canada if you do have any problems.

Where do you go to download movies in the Canadian itunes store! HELP!!!!!!

I can't find any movies to download in the canadaian itunes store! please tell me there are ones i can download or i will be uber upset! please someone help me.. where do I go?

Due to restrictions placed by the copyright holders on Apple, movies are only available in the US store at this time. Steve Jobs has said that movies should be available outside the US sometime in 2007, but no exact timeframe has been given.
As a new poster, you may want to try the "search" window in the upper right corner to see if your question has been asked previously. This question about movies in the Canadian store has literally been asked & answered dozens of times, this week alone.

Original Audio for Movies in the German iTunes Store

Hey there,
I bought a movie from my german iTunes Acount. Apparently there is no original audi with it. Is there a chance to get the original audio afterwards?

That message is infuriatingly misleading. I'm being told that it is not available in the UK Store but is available in the German Store. In point of fact it isn't available anywhere.
A number of people have complained recently that it's taking a lot longer than it should for newly accepted podcasts to appear in the Store. If your feed is OK there isn't really anything you can do except wait. You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I'm afraid you will probably just get a form answer telling you how to submit a podcast (which you already know). Your feed appears to be OK.

When you cannot find what you want in the ibookstore for your country, the solution is to try one of the other sources that also provide free ereader apps for your device, like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks.

When will be be able to purchase music, movies in the Jamaica iTunes Store?

Not sure if this is the correct area to ask this question. I am in Jamaica, i go into the Jamaica store and i cannot purchase songs. I am not sure why i am unable to do.

Apple haven't got agreements in place with the license holders for every region so each store has content particular to the country the store serves. Even though an album is sold worldwide in many cases it's on different labels or controlled by different licence holders in each region or country. Until such an agreement is reached with the licensees for your region Apple won't be free to sell you any music.

Buying from the Danish iTunes store

Let us say that I'm Danish, have a Danish Passport, live in the Danish Kingdom, have a Visa card from a local bank. How come that I can't buy music from the Danish iTunes Store.

have a Visa card from a local bank.
That's probably why. The iTunes Store requires that the credit card be issued by a bank in the country whose store you wish to use, and though the Faroe Islands are titularly part of the Danish Kingdom, they're autonomous and so probably have separate licenses and copyrights as far as the record companies (who mandate all of these restrictions) are concerned. Residents of the Channel Islands have the same problem with the UK download stores.

How can I buy tv shows from Jordanian iTunes store?

how can I buy tv shows from Jordanian iTunes store?
I have used a local visa card and I cannot buy movies or tv shows on Apple TV as I get a message saying that I have to buy them from the Jordanian iTunes store!!

It does seem a bit off that the rules are that stringent....
This is not a decision made by Apple.
It is made by the copyright holding music or television companies and is part of the contract with the recording artist or program producer. They make the decision as to what territories are distributed to and what territories are left out.
