How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence?

How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence? We are from Canada, travelling in the USA and wish to buy a TV series but get a message to buy it from the Canadian store. When we tried to do this we got the same message.

According to the terms of sale, you have to be in your country of residence in order to make a purchase. I've heard of people able to make purchases outside their country and also of people being unable to do so. It appears that Apple's enforcement is not 100%.
In order to buy from the U.S. iTunes Store, you would need to have a valid billing address in the U.S., a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes Gift card purchased in the U.S. and be physically present in the U.S. at the time of purchase.
International copyright law is currently very inconvenient for the consumer.
Best of luck.

  • HT201365 I can't purchase anything from the App Store

    Since my update to ios7 I can't purchase anything from the App Store? How do I fix this?

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart your iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try the App Store.

  • I can't purchased anything from the App store..... HELP ME

    I can't purchased anything from the App store, it keeps telling that there is a problem with the previous purchased and when I tried to re-enter the information , this message keep showing " your payment method was declined please use valid method" even though I've used it before . what can I do ? could anyone please help me?
    Thanks

    Either that or you can just buy an iTunes card and put it on the account. I've have itunes account for a long time so maybe this plays a part in it but I don't have a CC tied to my account. I have the option to choose "none" and that's what I have it as. I used to have a card on there years ago but I removed it and never had to have another on it. Any purchases I make come from iTunes credits (iTunes card or credits I got from redeeming rewards).

  • How can I download  software from the App store a second time?

    Hi,
    I purchased OS 10.7 from the App store because I no longer had the original discs from my computer.
    I downloaded it on to one of my computers, but now I want to put it on a second computer but the App Store say "You've already downloaded this " and I'm unable to get it. The App Store says I can download it 5 times...?
    Anyone know the solution?

    Go to your second computer, login to the App Store using the same AppleID you used when you purchased OS X Lion and download it from THAT computer. Or, since you mentioned you downloaded it to one computer and both computers are on the same local area network, share the Install OS X Lion.app file with your second computer or put it on an 8GB USB thumb drive, unplug the drive, plug it into your second computer and copy it to its /Applications folder.

  • How do I purchase Keynote from the app store when it only shows "update"

    I bought a Macbook Pro from my office and the Keynote program was purchased by another employee. I want my own copy, however, the App Store shows "Update" rather than "Buy App" so I cannot just buy another copy. Am I missing something? Is there another way to buy  Keynote other than through the App Store (other than physically going to an Apple Store?)

    Your profile shows Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, if you want to remain in 10.6 you will need to install iWorks 09, this is available from Ebay or Amazon at a very reasonable cost.
    To purchase the latest version of Keynote, you need  Yosemite installed:
    Log out of the Mac App Store (store > sign out)
    Log in using your own Apple ID
    If you don't have an Apple ID select create Apple ID from the login pane
    Delete Keynote from the applications folder
    in purchases tab of Mac App Store, purchase Keynote and click

  • I can't purchase anything from the App Store, or iTunes.

    I go onto the App Store, and update something. It then comes up with a message telling me that I have to check my billing information. I've entered all my personal credit card details correctly, but then tells my that my payment method is invalid. It doesn't just happen with paid stuff, it happens with FREE stuff too. I've bought lots of games off the App Store before, and there's been no problem with my payment method, until now.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes  & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • How can I play games from the app store?

    Wondering how I can see what games I can play on my laptop rather than on iphones/ipads?

    There are two different stores. The Icon in the Dock on your Mac takes you to the Mac App Store.
    No the iPhone games do not play on the Mac. Yes, you have to buy the same title again for the Mac if you want to play it on the Mac.

  • I purchased Aperture from the App Store several years ago. Now I want to install it on 10.7. How do I do that? Thanks.

    I purchased Aperture from the App Store several years ago. Now I want to install it on 10.7, but the current version requires 10.10. How can I install an older version of Aperture that will run on 10.7?
    Thanks

    Click here and try following the instructions. If they're not applicable, get an Aperture 3 DVD.

  • I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?

    I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?

    The iWork 9.2 updater is for those using Mountain Lion. Why do you want to update to Pages 4.2 if you're still running Lion? There is no benefit & many users have had problems.
    That being said, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.
    Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here.

    10.9 is free, so you could upgrade to that if you wished
    if that's not an option for software compatibility reasons, you'd either need to re-install it from the original disks (that came with the computer, or a seperate iLife disc), a backup, or purchase a boxed version from someplace like eBay or Amazon (Amazon has iLife '11 for $39)

  • Can I re install logic after I purchased it  from the app store?

    can I re install logic after I purchased it from the app store? They say you can, but it won't allow me. Finally got logic pro 9 loaded. I recorded a test session,saved it,closed logic and when I went to re open logic the next day. My Logic icon was different ( it was the application icon not the silver record icon ) and I am unable to open my session or go to the app store to re install it. I can't find logic pro anywhere in my folders other than the application icon and that won't open.
