Apple ID and purchase in another country

Can an old apple ID for another country be used for purchase from another country???

Not unless you are physically in the country whose iTunes Store you wish to use and can provide a payment method issued in that country. If so, then you can change the country of your iTunes Store account to that new country.
Regards.

Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship. Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland. The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them. Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland. For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment!

HT201389 Update apps purchased in another country's App Store?

Will I be able to update apps purchased in another country's App Store?

I already have this mess. No you will not. Unless you change back to the country that you bought the app from. Oh, but then you run into the problem that you need a valid address and payment method from that country.
So no, if you move to another country, Apple will steal all your apps.

How to replace a faulty iPhone4 in India (purchased in another country, still in warranty?)

I would like to know how to find a replacement for a faulty iPhone4 in India (purchased in another country, which is still under warranty?)
Please help. Thankx.

Expanding on what RG said, the warranty on an iPhone, with the exception of those purchased in the European Union, is country-specific, so you will need to send the iPhone back to a friend or relative in the country in which the iPhone was original sold to take or send it to Apple or the appropriate service provider. You will not be able to get the iPhone serviced in India.

If I buy iPhone 6 at an Apple Store, Can I use another country USIM?

If I buy iPhone 6 at the Apple Store, Can I use another country USIM?
I mean, is it unlock phone? It can use any mobile company (three, EE, Vodafone....) and any country USIM?
Is it would warranty? Can I repair in any country? if I buy iPhone6 or 6+ at an Apple Store.
I don't want a contract so I will buy an iPhone6 at AppleStore in Bright.
I want to know exactly. I need to make sure about the warranty, country unlock. Like that...

Apple has not announced when it will begin selling unlocked iPhone 6.
As of now, they do not offer an unlocked option.

Cannot purchase from another country's iTunes....

I know we cannot purchase from another country's iTunes, but how about if someone in that country gifted songs to us? For example, my wife here in the U.S. wants stuff from the Japanese iTunes store but can't buy it; can her sister in Japan "gift this song" to her? Thanks.

No, you can only successfully gift to people who are in the same country as yourself - the gifting may appear to go though, but your wife won't be able to redeem it

Hello Natethemate,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with changing the country for the iTunes Store on your iPhone. For this issue, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPhone:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Can I update apps purchased in another country

Hi. I live in Japan and I've purchased the some iPhone and Mac apps in the Japanese iTunes App Store. Now I am moving to Brazil and I want to keep the same Apple user id, but my billing info will change, so I won't be able to use the Japanese iTunes store anymore. I should be able to access the Brazilian store instead, because the country of my billing info will change. Even free updates are considered "buying" so I am concerned I might not be able to update my apps because updates need to happen in the store of the country where you originally purchased the app.
Can I update in the Brazilian store an app purchased in the Japanese store? Any tips or suggestions?

I already have this mess. No you will not. Unless you change back to the country that you bought the app from. Oh, but then you run into the problem that you need a valid address and payment method from that country.
So no, if you move to another country, Apple will steal all your apps.

HT5616 i have an ipod 4th generation nano with one apple id. and i created another id for my iphone 4. I bought some songs on itunes and loaded them on my phone. But now i am not able to retrieve them to transfer to my library. I can see them, but they ar

when i try to retrieve the songs into my library it says that my computer is connected with another apple id and that i have to wait 90 days. Do I have to wait to be able to retrieve my songs that I purchased? Do I have to wait all the time when I purchase songs from itunes? Its driving me crazy that I bought these songs and are not able to listen to them on my other apple products. Such as my ipod nano 4th generation, and my iphone 4. Your help is appreciated, thank you.

Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
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.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Replacement Service for an iphone which is purchased in another country

Hi,
I have an iphone5 which its proximity sensor does not work. In Australia I went to Melbourne Apple Center and after inspection they want to replace it with a new one, but after seeing its part number (including LL/A), they refuse to replace it because it is not an Australian iphone. It should be noted that I also have an applecare service for my iphone. Now I am really confused what I shall do for this case. I cannot go to USA at the moment and I need my iphone which now it's really useless for calling when I do not want to use handsfree. My current apple support case number is 426298085 and I have D87469214, 426306629 and D87468601 apple service request numbers which have been canceled due to the mentioned reason.
More easy and better customer services are really expected from apple. I am one of your loyal customer who is sad of your bad services in this case. Please guide me how could I replace my phone at the earliest possible time.
Regards,
Hamed

From applecare protection plan for iphone:
"6.2 Apple reserves the right to change the method by which Apple may provide repair or replacement service to you, and your Covered Equipment’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Covered Equipment cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange defective products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards."
Haha. Known issue maybe means there are several numbers of replacement for this reason. A quick internet search shows such a thing...

Apple ID and Purchased Lion Problem

Hello guys, i have my macbook pro 2009 bought from another person guy, hadn't any problem with it until i just broke my system cause of power button clicking to exit from the system istead of normal act to do this. So the only reason i found to do is to erase and just clean my hard drive for real, like whole HD (because i hadn't that much useful information at all) but i forgot to make some stuff with Mavericks 10.9.2 install so i erase it with whole hard drive and i just can't install any OS X. That guy is scaring to death to give me his Apple ID for the reason i just need it to install from the web (from recovery, disk utility mode), so here is the question: do i need only HIS apple id with Lion installed/purchased long time ago or just ANY apple id with Lion installed or purchased on it?
So if i need any apple id with purchased lion so where i can find good men to give me his apple id to activate and starting installing my OS X Mavericks? Thx

Easy fix. Go to your Mac App Store. Find Mavericks. Click download. It will give you some crap about you already have it whatever. Click continue to download the installer. In the top menu bar click purchases. You will see it downloading. Click pause. Click restart. Hold command R at the startup chime. Click reinstall OS X. Since you use your Apple ID to download the full installer, you just use your Apple ID to purchase OSX. For free. Problem solved.
I literally just had to do this

How can I activate my 4s? I bought it unlocked and now in another country it says sim not valid.. Please help

I bought an apple iPhone 4s unlocked from Canada. Now I'm in another country and I can't activate it because it says sim not valid,!! Then why the **** is it called unlocked phone????

It was bought from apple unlocked. No carrier's logo or name at all on the box... It turns on, I connect it to iTunes. It even asks me if I want to update for ions 5.0.1 something like this, but still in the main screen for iTunes it says:
the sim card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. Only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier mayb be used to activate iPhone.

I have a ipod touch 4th gen and the screen cracked can i trade it in at the apple store and get a another one?

i need help

You can always go to the Apple Store and ask and sometimes people get lucky. Most of the time Apple requires that you pay the repair price listed here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
The least expensive way to repair (although it will void your warranty) is to go to ebay and search ipod touch 4th glass service and there are people who do it for as low as $60.

Getting OTA updates and App store purchases from another country

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a Palm Pre in Germany (where I live at the moment), but I'm moving to Israel in a couple of months. My cellphone carrier in Israel will probably be Cellcom. Will it be possible for me to receive these OTA updates? And will I be able to purchase Apps while I'm there?
Thanks,
Post relates to: None

Same question. I moved from the Macau store to the French store. All my apps and music don't appear in 'purchased' in the iTunes Store and the Mac App Store. I guess it's alright for the apps because I can see what I have in my library, but it's a bit more annoying for the Mac App Store. I was planning to buy an iMac and of course connect to the Stores using my apple id, then download all the apps on the new computer but it seems it's not gonna make it.
