How can I switch App/iTunes store while retaining all apps purchased in both stores?

I have an iPhone 6 (iOS 8.2) bought in the US but currently in use in France. I have a French phone service, and need to download French apps to help manage the phone service. Specifically, the Orange et Moi app. However, every time I attempt to search for the app in the App store on my phone, it sends me to the French app store, which I do not have an account for. On attempting to purchase the app anyway, it sends me back to the US store, without giving me an option to make a new (French) account.
I know I could switch the country associated with my Apple ID, but I did not want to risk losing the apps I'd purchased with that account.
Is it possible to have two different accounts, without switching the country on my apple ID? Ideally I'd like to be able to use both French and American apps simultaneously. Is this possible?

Whilst you are in France you can only use the France store - you have to be in a country to use its store, that is part of the store's terms (accessing a different country's store could result in Apple permanently disabling the account).
You can either update your existing account to have your French billing address on it (changing country), or create a new account (you can log out of your account phone by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then create a new account via that screen).

    How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    If you are asking because you are getting an 'account not in this country' error message then on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on the device and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section on that screen and select Nigeria.
    If you need to update your address on your account from the US to Nigeria then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to do so by signing into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and updating your address, or on an iOS device you can do it by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store similar to above.

  • How can I keep windows in front while using other apps?

    I want to keep a Preview window in front of all windows while I work in photoshop, how can I do that? I know it is possible, because I saw an artist do it on youtube. He had his references opened up in Preview, while working photohsop, and the Preview window some how stays above the Photoshop window. I know I can just have them side by side by using photoshop in window mode, and shtinking it into a half sized window, but I have porblem rotating the canvas and it is just to small to work when it is like that. He mangaed to use phoshop in full window mode (fills the whole screen) and still have his preview window stay in front. I asked him but I got no reply. So I was hoping some here would know.

    Yeah, I was also using Afloat before updating to Lion, but now it seems it is not compatible anymore. Mac should have that function (keep a window on top) built in - such an easy thing and so helpful, much more than all claimed "productivity" apps etc. Linux has it since always...

  • How can I switch my iTunes catalog from my desktop pc to my laptop?

    I am retiring my desktop computer that has my iTunes music catalog. This is the pc that I sync my iPhone, iPod, and iPad.How can I delete this from the desktop computer and transfer it all on my laptop or possibly a different desktop? Is it possible to do this without losing what you have in your library, including purchased items and cds you've downloaded? Thank you.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one.
    You can do this across a network, but it may be better to use an external drive, particularly if you don't already have a backup strategy. Get yourself a portable USB powered drive big enough for your iTunes library, your other personal documents and data, and room for growth. Backup your library with this User Tip. Use the same technique to "restore" the backup to the new computer and then keep the backup up to date in future.
    Deauthorise the old computer once you are certain that you no longer need to access protected content from it.

  • How can I switch my iTunes match to a different apple ID?

    It seems like when I signed up for iTunes match that I didnt realize my wife's apple ID was already logged in so she has iTunes match and will never use it and I want it for mine.   All I want to do is switch the ID's cause they are linked to the same credit card.  Can anyone help as to what to do?

    Sorry, but you can't move iTunes media from one Apple ID accounts to another. It would be like merging to Apple ID's which Apple does not allow. >  Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID

  • How can I change my iTunes ID and keep my apps ?

    I have a new iTunes and AppStore ID with a new e-mail address.
    When I want to update my apps, I am asked for Password to my old ID which is my olf e-mail adress.
    No way to retrive my forgoten pass as this e-mail address does not exist anymore...
    thanks for you help !

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID under which they were downloaded, they cannot be transfered to another Apple ID.  Your only ooptions are to use the old Apple ID and password to updat those apps, or delete the apps and download/purchase again under the new Apple ID.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • HT204146 How can I subscribe to iTunes Match and have all of my 7,000+ songs on my iPhone?

    I bought a 128GB iPhone so I would have room for all my music. Now it's not actually there because I subscribe to iTunes Match. I don't want to have to download it over wifi/cell to listen to it. Should I just unsubscribe from iTunes Match? I don't use if very often.

    Do you have another device (eg a computer) that also contains your music? If so, yes, you can turn off iTunes match and sync everything with a cable. Do you tend to buy new music from downloads or ripping CDs? If downloads, you can turn on "download purchases automatically" on the phone to make them available to you there, once you've cable-synced your current library. If CDs, you would have to manually sync with cable (or over local wifi) each time you add a new CD.

  • How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased.  Apple provides no way to change this.
    However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so.  Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.
