Anyone who switched their iTunes account associated country cannot update their apps anymore?

I know Apple has been claiming its iTunes Stores are country specified and so are the apps.
However, I was told by a staff from iTunes Store Support that this is not the case (which is a false statement!),
thus made the jump from United State to Hong Kong iTunes Store 1.5 years ago.
Afterward, although the update process of those apps purchased in the US Store become awkward on iTunes, 
I can still re-download them for free in the HK Store on iTunes or update them normally on iOS
Just a few days ago, when I try to update those apps purchased in the US Store on iOS, I got the message "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software.". If I try to re-download them, App Store will just charge me again.
This is very frustrating, as I have spent hundreds of dollars on apps before I made the switch due to a false claim.
Tried to contact iTunes Support and got nothing helpful.

Same problem here.
Waiting for a solution as soon as possible!

  • After updating to iOS6 I cannot update my apps anymore. Error "Account not in this store". Pls help

    After updating my iPad2 to iOS6 I cannot update my Apps anymore. Error message says "Account not in this store". I changed my iTunes store to Philippines and synced my iPad. Didn't do any good.

    Go here:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    and confirm that it's set to the correct country for your account. If it is, try signing out of your account and back in.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I switch my iTunes account to be used in the app store?

    Hello,
    I am looking to purchase the Aperture 3 app.  I bought a $100.00 itunes card and loaded it into my itunes account.
    I was supposed to load it into my App account.
    Is there any way I can switch this so I can make my purchase through Itunes?
    Many thanks, maxpa1nter in Vancouver Canada.

    Hi ..
    Just so you are aware, the iTunes and Mac Appp Store are one in the same as far as billing goes. If you redeem an iTunes gift card either at iTunes or the App Store, the balance willl be available from both.
    And since you are trying to purchase Aperture, you did post in the correct forum.
    You need to take into account any applicable taxes and fees that may be added to the purchase price.

    If there are enough funds available, you should be able to purchase Aperture now.

  • HT202157 switching between itunes accounts

    i just upgraded my itunes account tonight.  i have a question: is the switching between itunes accounts legal?  How do they know you are not getting a friends account info and watching their movies?  Does anyone know the answer to how this works and if it is legal?
    Thanks,
    Dena

    The potential to associate a computer to an account for 90 days has been possible for a number of years like it has been on iOS devices, and can happen if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload past purchases (though, based on some posts I've seen, it doesn't always seem to happen) - I believe it's an attempt to try and stop people logging into their account on other people's computers or devices and redownloading/sharing their content, not to stop people having multiple accounts.
    It shouldn't stop you buying new content on the account, just doing any of the above three things. If you want to do one of them on your other account then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will remove the current association, but if you then do one of them on the other account then you are likely to start a 90 association to that account instead : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support.

  • HT204053 How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    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.

    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also beauthorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

  • Need to switch my iTunes account to a new Windows computer (with other issues)

    I am trying to switch my iTunes account over to my Windows laptop. My old Windows computer is completely dead at the moment but I am trying to find someone to recover the data. All I have at this point is my ipod with the music on it, but I'm afraid that if I plug it into my laptop, it will delete the music from my account. Also, I need to figure out how to change the iTunes user on my laptop. My husband got an account which he never used, so I just need to log out and log on with my account that has the music synced the the ipod, but I couldn't find a way to do that. Any suggestions?

    You can't use that money to buy gifts, gift cards, gift certificates, or otherwise transfer any portion of it to anyone other than Apple itself.

  • My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop?

    My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!

    I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

    Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

  • Can my wife I each use our personal itunes accounts at the store to buy apps or ibooks on "our", that is, the same ipad2?

    Can my wife I each use our personal itunes accounts at the store to buy apps or ibooks on "our", that is, the same ipad2?

    Yes you can!
    All you need is to log out from the App store and log with the Apple ID that you wish to use on buying apps or books from the stores.
    Do note that if you have apps in the iPad purchase using two different Apple IDs, whenever there is an update you need to log into the appropriate Apple ID to install the update. Though the device will show you the apps that needed updates but it will only update when it is logged in to the Apple ID that has purchased the app. So what you need to do is to log in to the appropriate Apple ID get the update then log out and log in with the other Apple ID for the other updates if relevant.
