Changing Country of my Apple ID (Macbook App Store)

I own an Apple Macbook Pro. I bought it in India. I recently shifted to Singapore.
I am unable to use my Apple ID to download apps and updates from App Store. I am unable to add my Singapore Credit Card to my Apple ID. I was wondering if it is tightly coupled to the country?

Hi,
I had the same situation, I used to live in the US and now in UK. I found the only thing I could do (apart of re-purchasing) was to create new account. So I now have a US account and UK account, as the updates are free it doesn't matter that I don't have a US credit card anymore, I am just using a friend's address as the account needs a home address.
It is not ideal as I have to log out of the UK account and log into the US account every now and again to get the updates but it is better than re-purchasing.
Another tip, if for some reason I do want to add credit to my US account, althoguh I can't use a credit card I just pick up iTunes prepay cards when I go back to US on business trips and add them the credit from those to the account.
Hope that helps.

Changing email in the Apple ID in App Store on iPhone

How can I change the incorrect email in my Apple ID in the App Store on the iPhone? My email in the Settings of the phone is correct, but when I go to the AppStore on the phone - there is a wrong email there, so nothing works.

Apps that you buy are encoded with the Apple ID that bought them. The Apple ID that you see would be the one encoded in apps on your iPhone. Delete these apps and buy them with the correct Apple ID.

What happens to my purchased Apps, in case, I change country of my Apple ID.

While purchasing Apps from Store a message shows up " Not available in Emirati Store. Change to US Store for Purchase".Can I make purchase by changing country without impacting the earlier purchased Apps?

My question was two fold. I apologize for elaborating it properly -
The second part is " How do I purchase Apps from Store when I change my resident country and then what happens to already purchased Apps? Do I need to create a new Apple ID for a different country to purchase Apps and hope my earlier purchase is not impacted by this process."

Changing apple ID in app stores

Anyone know how to change apple ID in app store. It will not let me put in my ID

I have the same problem. I downloaded Yosemite in a user account not realizing that installing it in the useraccount would install it to all accounts.
I went back to my admin to install it there. When I try to install it it uses the Apple ID for my user account, not the one I want to use. I went back to delete the download in the user account and I can't delete it without using my admin username and password, however my admin username and password will not work for anything in the user account but it always works when I use it in the admin account.
Does it matter which Apple ID I use to install Yosemite? I'd rather use mine but it will only accept my wifes.

If you are now in a different country (you need to be in a country to use its store) then click on the Store >View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes and sign into it, and you can then update your payment method (you can't use credit cards from a different country), your region, and your billing address

I need to change my e-mail address in the app store, how does that work??

On apple website, seraching on support, the article HT1918 explains.
Log into your apple ID and edit your personal information, where email can be changed as well. All applications as itunes stores, apple store and icloud use this same apple ID, so be aware of this.
I hope I was helpful !

You cannot transfer any purchases made using the old Apple ID to the new one. Either you repurchase them under the new Apple ID or see if Apple can transfer them for you.

How can I delete older apple ID on app store?

I have bought a second-hand macbook pro, the old owner removed his account and created a new one for me. I did a clean new install of OS and added my appl ID, but app store doesn' allow to update apps. when it asks to insert my ID the space for the username is already filled with older owner's ID and there's no way to modify it.
this is the situation
thanks for helpers, sorry for my bad english!

iWork has never come preinstalled on Macs. New Macs bought after 1 OCT 2013 qualify for a free download of the iWork apps.
Macs have come with iLife for free for years. The iLife apps that came on that Mac were on a DVD if it is an older Mac that came with OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard and the original owner was supposed to give you the Install DVDs that came with the Mac. Or if it is a newer Mac that came with OS X Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks, they iLife apps were Mac App Store versions and they are registered to the original owner, so you can't update them.

I want to change the email address for both the app store

I want to change the email address of both the app store & iTunes I created an iTunes account then bought a family pack @me.com so everything is not straight forward I have a gmail log in for both iTunes & the AppStore & then more than one Apple ID I have just increased my cloud storage but I am tired of having to use a gmail address for the App Store & iTunes especially since gmail would appear to be less secure that @icloud.com so how do I change this ?

Not a good idea. Apple content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. The only Apple ID that can (re)download, update and authorize content for use on Macs, PCs and iOS devices is the Apple ID that bought it.
You can however change the email address associated with an Apple ID;

Greetings chaimba216,
After reviewing your post, I located an article that can help with resetting your iCloud password:
iCloud: Change your iCloud password
Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
Important: If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Bobby_D
