  • Can i buy items from the American ITunes store?

    I live in Australia and would like to buy an item from the American ITunes store. Is this possible without needing an account for that country?

    No you cannot.
    You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence as proven by your credit card billing address AND you may ONLY buy while physically inside that country.

  • I want to buy a movie from the america itunes store. How do I, since I am Australian?

    I want to buy Bruce Almighty from the american itunes store because the Australian itunes store doesn't have it. I really want it but I don't know how to buy it as I have tryed to login but a sign pops up saying that my account is only for the Australian itunes store.

    Please help me.

    You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence (verified by your billing address of your credit card) AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

    How come I can buy foreign books through Amazon as e-book, but the same book can't be downloaded from iTunes? That doesn't makes sense.
    Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
    Amazon allows it, iTunes does not.  That is why.  Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public.  It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true.  Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
    With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.
    Sorry

  • If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

    If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
    Cheers.

    You canot easily change your country settings.  The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

  • Can people in the UK buy books from the US itunes store ?

    Hi guys , I live in the UK and use ibooks alot but there are a few books in the US store that aren't available in the UK store i would like to get, My question is can i buy books from the US store if i live in the UK ? hope someone can help Thankyou.

    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.

  • I live in Europe France can I only download movies from the French Itunes site or is there a way for me to get english movies from the USA

    I live in Europe, France, I want to use apple TV, but people tell me that the english movies on the French Itunes are very limited, do I have a way to get more English movies downloaded from Itunes?

    There have been three or four questions like this one today relating to the apple stores in various countries.  You have to have an account, credit card and address in the country in which the store resides.  So you need a US store account, credit card and address to use the US store.
    Since I used to live in France, have been frustrated trying to buy books and music from the French app store.

  • 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.

  • Please help,why cant i download a song in the american itunes store?

    i have wanted this bloody song for ages and now i have found it the bloody site will not let me download it. the song is metalingius by alter bridge and i found it in the american itunes but still can not download it. it is not on the uk itunes list and i dont know why, if it is on the american one why not the uk one?

    This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
    a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
    b) a mailing address for your residence 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, again, 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.
    As to why it's in the US iTunes Store and not in the UK iTunes Store, it's undoubtedly because the holders of the UK distribution rights haven't granted Apple the right to sell the track in the UK.

  • Why can't I buy downloads from the US store? I am in the UK.

    I am in th UK and have bought an 80GB iPod on which I want to play videos while I travel.
    The UK video and TV content is almost non-existent. Jimmy Carr? Bloody Ricky Gervais? How utterly appaling. If there is amy more content, I cannot find it, and I find the iStore site difficult to use and impossible to find anything on.
    The US store is full of shows and movies I wish to download, but it say my account cannot buy from this store. Why is this?
    If this is a permanent state of affairs, you can have my iPod back and cancel my subscription. What regional rubbish in an international communications age.

    Blame the studios. I am sure Apple would like to allow cross country purchases. You want access to the American store, whereas I would like the Australian and British stores in addition to the American one.

  • Why can't i buy iphone from the usa website?

    i've been trying to buy an iphone from the usa website as a gift to my sister who lives there... but it doesn't accept my postcode.. is it not possible to buy an iphone from uk?

    Nope. You need a verified billing/shipping address in the US to use the US store. Same reason someone from the US couldn't use the UK store.
