Another country, same Apple-ID ?

Can i use the same Apple-ID in another country ?

Hi carloquest,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Your Apple ID will not change in a different country, but it to make a purchase from the iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store, the country you are located must match those stores. Please see the following article for instructions on changing the country for your iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and/or Mac App Store.

Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account
Have a great day,

Change country - same Apple ID

There are four things that I do not understand about the problems faced when changing countries (France to the UK in my case) with the same Apple ID.
1. I understand from this site and others that I am obliged to repurchase my apps.
Why? - when I move, I don't leave everything behind (furniture etc) and repurchase?
2. I can view all my previous purchases in the iTunes Store for my iOS devices: when updates are downloaded, I notice the purchase date changes to the update date. So it seems that I CAN take my apps with me after all (... though I assume if I were to delete one of them I would have to repurchase? Is that how it works?)
3. The above does not apply to the Mac App Store: only purchases made AFTER I changed countries show up.
4. In the Mac App Store, older apps not in my purchase list sometimes won't update: my Mac says that an update is available but the 'install' it is greyed out. But other older apps update just fine.
I do not understand what is going on and would appreciate some advice, please:
A. why is there no general refund policy if the apps won't update when I change country? Do I have to contact each app provider and ask them for a refund in turn?
B. does anyone know which apps upgrade OK and which ones don't under the cirtcumstances described? - is there any general rule to tell me?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nick

Go to this link:

After signing in to your iTunes account, on the Apple Account Information page, click Change Country or Region. Enter the updated information and save your changes.
Hope this helps!

Can't download song purchased from Itunes from one computer to another using same Apple ID

Hi, I am operating itunes 11 at home, using Mac OS 10.7.5.. I purchased a song at work (also a Mac, I am not sure which version of OSM or itunes). I accessed the purchase of the song in the "Purchased" menu option in itunes on my home Mac. When I tried to download the song at home so I can include it in my Library, I got the following message:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.
So: just to be clear:I can only buy something from itunes from one computer and save to another with the same Apple ID only every 90 days??? And if that is the case, I have not purchased anything from my work computer within 90 days of this recent song purchase. That just does not make sense to me, since the license covers 10 devices anyway, and I am using the same Apple ID.
Let me know if I am not understanding this correctly, or am doing something wrong. It just does make not sense to me that I can't download a purchase I made from one computer to another since I am paying Apple for the music and just accessing it elsewhere, using the same account.
Thanks so much.

Thanks for the response. Yes, my husband logged on to our computer and rented a movie for us to view. That is how we use Itunes: I purchase the music, he may purchase a movie or a rental now and then. This is new, it never happend before.
Also, I contacted customer support, both by phone and email. Not only does someone else using the home computer under a different account trigger this, but so does simply activating my own user id from a different computer (one of the 5 I am allowed to under the service agreement.)
Customer support was very helpful and lifted the 90 day ban. I called them because I purchased a season pass of a TV show and could not download the first episode because it was a "past purchase" (the episode was not even available to download when I purchased the pass, so “past” is indeed relevant.)
But I don't see the point of purchasing content from Apple now. This feature limits the accessibility of legal purchases under the service agreement. Why allow 5 computers per Apple ID if activating one of them limits the ability to download content for 90 days??
I (used to) buy movies, rentals and TV shows all the time. I don’t have cable, so Apple was the source for all “must have” shows that I couldn’t wait for. Too bad.

Calls to one iPhone rings to another with same Apple ID

If a call goes to my wife's iPhone using her iPhone phone number, why does my iPhone ring (different number)? we do use the same apple ID

Is iPhone Cellular calls enabled in the FaceTime settings? If so, uncheck that. A new feature of 8.1 is to enable calls to be received on devices using the same iCloud acct.

Apple can do nothing. As Tim said, only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. You must contact that carrier.

I have a iPod touch that's in another country with the same Apple ID as mine , anyone know is that legal?

I have tried to resolve this matter for over two years, and one day ,I read a post about a person living in the UK asking about the (GSM+CDMA) on Jun 16 2013 10:30AM, stating that they had a device that was bought in the UK, with a certain model number and one of the community modulator told that person that they was wrong, Based on the fact that, that model was never sold in the UK,it was strange to me because I have been looking for my daughters I pod touch that was stolen around this very time frame and certain post was asking how do this and that, as I know there are thousands of people asking the same questions. it was how they asked, like over and over, until I saw this Post about the CDMA ,what got me going again asking. If some didn't want there Apple ID to conflict with an Apple ID here in the USA then would the same Apple ID in the UK be not even looked at as the same owner .. I didn't ask before because I had no proof until that post, only be caused they left there name on the bottom of the form they posted

The only problem would be with making iTunes/App Store purchases and updating app.
You can only use the iTunes/App Store in the country you are located AND the payment method in the ID/account must be associated with that country.
Also, not all apps are available in all countries and thus you may not be able to update an app

Any solution to unable to retrieve purchased apps in a new iPad - using same Apple ID, same country but different payment method.

Hello there, Tag2011.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up great information on the process of downloading a previous purchase:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Particularly useful in your instance:
Before you begin
Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase.
See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store. If you changed your Apple ID from one country to another, you can’t download items you purchased in a previous country.
and then to download again:
Apps
Tap App Store.
If you're using an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Updates, then tap Purchased.
If you're using an iPad, tap Purchased.
Find the item that you want to download.
Tap the Download icon. After the app downloads, you can open it from the Home screen.
If you can't find the item that you purchased in the iTunes Store, report a problem with the item. You can report a problem with a purchase made within the last 90 days.
If you have a problem with an older purchase, contact iTunes Store support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Apple ID in another country?

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask a question about Apple ID, but please bear with me.
I have an Apple ID registered in my home country, if I physically move to another country (let's say the US), will I be able to use the same Apple ID that once registered in my home country?
I am planning to buy a new mac in US, and I would like to be able to download all the apps that were bought using my old Apple ID that was registered in my home country. Is this even possible?

Please let me know if you got a reply from Apple.

How can I get a refund from another country that does not have an Apple Store?

While going to the US for the summer, I went to the San Francisco Apple Store.
I saw the Apple Gift Cards, and I was wondering if they would work on my Taiwan Apple ID, so I bought a $25 gift card and a 4 cards bundle pack each with $10 inside.
But then now, coming back to Taiwan, I realised the gift cards was only valid for US users so I asked for support from Apple
and this is what they replied:
I understand that you are unable to redeem the gift card to your account, the card purchased in another country. I know you must be eager to get this issue resolved at the earliest. I can do my best to help you.
Jonathan, I'm sorry to inform you that, iTunes Gift Cards are only redeemable in the iTunes Store for the country that is listed on the back of the card. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
This did not help me at all...
There is only resellers in Taiwan, so there is no way I could get a refund from Taiwan
so what should I do in order to get my money back?
Or in other ways, an exchange upon other Apple products?

I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.

I want to change the country/region in my Apple ID but it wont let me because I have 69 cents credit left in another country's itunes how do I do it?

We bought the phone in another country and used it there on a prepay plan. we also purchased several itunes gift cards and used them to download some music. We used all but 69 cents of the credit on the itunes card before leaving that country. We are now in another country and have signed up with another cellular provider and purchased another itunes card but when we went to redeem the credit on the card it wouldn't accept it and said it was only for use in the country we were in. I realised our itunes account did not recognise we have gone to another counrty so I went into the settings of the phone and selected the iTunes and App Stores. When in that setting i tapped the Apple ID and then view Apple ID which then gives you the option to change the country/ region. However when I try to change the country I keep getting the message under the banner Account, which says "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores".
I have looked through everything but cannot find a way to delete or spend the 69 cents credit. Can anyone help me?

Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

If I sync my iPhone with another iTunes of the same Apple ID but none of the songs etc, will it wipe my phone?

Hi, my computer died before I could back up any of the songs, tv shows etc from iTunes. However, I do have iTunes from the same Apple ID on other computers, but the don't have anything on them. If I put a new album onto the iTunes on the other computer and then synced my phone with it, will it wipe everything and the only thing that would be left is the album? Or would the album just be added to everything already on there and my phone would not anything?

If you sync to another computer the iPhone will be erased and the content replaced with the selected content of the new computer.
You don't maintain a regular backup copy of your computer?
You can transfer iTunes purchases from your iPhone to a computer from iTunes. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

If two of you shared the same contacts you were logged in with the same Apple ID. In order to avoid this you need to use different Apple IDs, and be using separate Macs or separate user accounts on the same Mac.
One or other of you should create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com for which you will need a non-Apple email address which hasn't been associated with another Apple ID.

I have been using the same Apple ID for 2 iPhones. How can I create another Apple ID to distinguish them?

Or, go to the App store, sign out of your current account. Try to make a purchase and it will ask you to sign in, or create a new account.
You can do it through iTunes as well.
