HT4059 i have an Australian itunes account but want to buy a book from the us site, how can I do this

I wish to buy a book that is only available in the US store but my itunes account is only for the Australian store - is there a way I can still buy this book. Sorry I am only just learning all this.

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

Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases! It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

HT1296 I have a Voucher that needs to be printed. I completed a survey on my iPad but obviously, I cannot print it from the iPad. How can I transfer it to my pc, please?

I have a Voucher on my iPad screen that needs to be printed. I completed a survey on my iPad but obviously, I cannot print it from the iPad. How can I transfer it to my pc, please?

You can also take a screen shot of your screen displaying the voucher. Press and release the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time. The screenshot is added to your Camera Roll album.
Note: On an iPad without a camera, screenshots are added to the Saved Photos album.
Then, you can transfer the photo to your computer as described in Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to your computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Or you can email the photo to yourself.

Have you tried to reboot your router? Unplug it, count to 30, plug it back in and let it reboot. Also you may want to go into your settings on your iPad and 'reset network settings'.
In case the update messed something up, letting the devices reboot sometimes helps.

My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which resulted in his apps and music being synced to my iPhone and mine to his. . . very annoying. So I created a new iTunes account, but now no devices show up in the sidebar so I can't sync my phone.

My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which meant that when he synced his iPhone, all his apps and music appeared on mine as well, and vice versa. This was annoying, so I created my own account and have changed the Apple id on my phone. However, when I try to sync it on iTunes, no devices at all show up in the sidebar. What am I doing wrong?

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

I'm getting the message, "Your Apple ID has been disabled," when I try to make a purchase. I reset my password and updated it in my account, but it still won't let me purchase anything. How can I fix this?

You would have to purchase it through the UK store then, using a UK credit card, or wait for it to come to the US store.
You can also try purchasing it through Amazon, or other online stores.

I have a uk iTunes account but have moved to the Netherlands and can no longer connect to the iStore from my iPad. Do I need to update my iTunes account to a Dutch one?

I have a uk iTunes account but have moved to the Netherlands and can no longer connect or make purchases. Do I need to change my account to a Dutch one?

You can't transfer any content from one account to another account (nor can accounts be merged) - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
Do you not have copies of all of your downloads e.g. on your computer or backup of your downloads/library ? Whilst you are in Australia you can't redownload your UK purchases (you have to be in a country to use its store), if you have them on your computer's iTunes library then you should be able to stream them from it to your Apple TV
