If you are not here in the UK then you cannot use the UK store - being in a country is part of the store's terms, if you aren't in the country then Apple could potentially permanently disable the account. Whilst you are in the US you can only buy and download (and potentially redownload) from the US store.
You shouldn't lose any of your downloaded content from your iTunes library when changing country, it should only stop it from appearing in the cloud for redownloading. If that is what you mean, that it no longer shows in the cloud, then have you not got a copy of all of your downloads on your computer and on a backup - any item could be removed from the store at any time, so even if you don't move countries there is no guarantee of being able to redownload an item.

I want to be able to FaceTime my grandson from my iPad to his iPod. We are both set up under the same itune account. How do I create a separate account for him?
I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases. -

I have recently purchased a new iPhone, but my husband has the iTunes account on his email. We want to set up separate accounts however we want to share all of our music from iTunes. Is there a way to only share music only (not contacts, apps, etc)?
You are most welcome

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?
Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account, transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that, because when I select delete account it prompts me to sign in on the old email address which doesn't exist anymore!! Please help!
Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I am trying to add tracks which I have on my itunes library on my pc to my ipad. I have done this manually but the status bar never gets beyond "preparing to update". I have used itunes for years but never had this problem before
When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason. I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem. -

I have downloaded iTunes 11.1 but iTunes radio is still not showing up, why is this happening?
Hello there, jrodxo125.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information about iTunes Radio:
About iTunes Radio
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5848
Keep in mind it is currently available only in the US. Additionally:
To use iTunes Radio, you must have iOS 7 or OS X Lion v10.7 or later, iTunes 11.1, or Apple TV 6.0 or later installed on your device or computer as well as an Apple ID for use in the iTunes Store.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.
If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you? -

I recently moved my music to an external hd. I deleted the music from the internal. When i plug in the External,itunes doesnt pick it up. I have pointed itunes towards external but still not working,driving me nuts!

the best way would be to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on your Mac to the external, then launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.

that tells iTunes where to put new additions to your library, not where the content currently is.
