Apple ID move to another country

Hello everybody
i moved from Switzerland to Germany and changed the country in my Apple ID in order to have access to the german App Store / iTunes Store. Now I have the problem, that I do not see my purchased item anymore. When I go to iTunes / App Store and click on "purchased items" there is not a single app. So I contacted the Apple Support. They told me, that this is because I changed the country (obviously). But I can get my purchased apps by searching for them in the German App Store --> click on "purchase" --> and after I clicked on "purchase" I get the notification, that I can download the App for free, because I already bought it in the Swiss App Store. So far, so good. But after I downloaded the App for free, I still do not have it in my purchased app list. When I go to iTunes / App Store and click on "purchased items" there is still not a single app.
Do you have any idea, how I can get my purchased apps back into my "purchased items" list? I have to reasons, why it would be helpful for me:
1.) I have more than 2.000 purchased items from the Swiss App Store (both music and apps). So I do not want to search for all 2.000 one by one and download them every time I set up an iPad or MacBook.
2.) With the new feature "family Sharing" I want to give access to my purchased items to my family in germany. Without the items being in my "purchased items" list, they do not see them.
Hope somebody has some ideas to help me
Best regards!

As well as being tied to the account, content is also tied to the country that it was downloaded in - for your Swiss purchases to show in the Purchased link on your account you will need to move back to Switzerland and have a Swiss billing address on your account.
Do you not have a copy of all of your apps and music etc on your Mac's iTunes library, and on your backup of your downloads/library ? You should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all your downloads, any item could be removed from a country's store at any time.
With music (and films and/or TV programmes, assuming that they are in the German store) if you want to download it whilst in Germany then you are likely to have to purchase it - you will probably be charged when downloading it

I move to another country and I want to change my account setting

I move to another country and I want to change my account setting. But when I try, Itunes says that I have an active Itunes Match subscription. How can I deal with this. I don't want to pay again for space in the cloud.

The telephone network doesn't support Face Time regardless of the country.
There are some countries where FaceTime is not allowed because of local laws.
Where are you? If it's anywhere in the Middle East, you're out of luck.

AppleCare for macbook..is it still valid if I move to another country?

What happens to the validity of an AppleCare plan bought in one country if you then move to another? I was under the impression that for laptops the warranty is global, but in the terms and conditions of mine it says that it is only valid in the counties listed therein. I travel a lot with my job and and end up living for extended periods of time in different countries which is why I have a laptop, and when I bought my Careplan in Australia the man in the shop assured me that it didn't matter as I would be covered globally. I am currently in India where this plan is valid as it covers Asia, but what happens when I get posted to another country? Who do phone and where do I take my laptop if something goes wrong? I have registered it anyway as I have paid for it but I am worried that global doesn't actually mean that.

My macbook and AppleCare were bought and registered in the US, but I live in Europe. My macbook had problems with both RSD and discoloring, and an authorized repair center fixed both in Vienna without problems.
As I understand it (and it's not all that easy to understand) you are covered for the types of repair that Apple offers in the country where you bought the plan, because different countries insist on different requirements for warranties. Apple probably offers more than the minimum in each country, but different things are covered. If you bought your AppleCare in one country and are living in another and want it switched to the terms offered in that country, you have to send a bunch of documentation to Apple to have your residence officially changed. For now, I haven't bothered, and I had no trouble at all getting my macbook fixed in a country other than the one I bought it in.

All App purchases are tied to your email address, because that is your apple ID. If you cannot access your old email account, you may lose those apps. You can call apple for support and see if they can help you.

Move to another country

     Hi
      8 months ago, I bought an IPad3 at Vancouver Canada. So, I made an Apple ID at that time at the Apple store.
      However, I'm in South Korea now, and I bought an Iphone5 in Korea. Now, I am using Icloud between Ipad and Iphone with same Apple ID.
      When I use APP store with my IPad, I don't have any problem. But I have an problem when I use App store with my IPhone. I can see this sentence
     " Your account is not valid for use in the Korean store. You must switch to the Canadian store before purchasing " .
     I have to be in Korea. So, Should I make new ID ?

unfortunately, your itunes account is not international. You however can still use Canadian Itunes and App store with your account.

I've registered facetime in my iphone using my uk telephone number. Now I move to another country and want to use facetime using my email account since my home country's telephone networks do not support facetime application, I think.

How can I register a facetime account using my email account in my iphone4? I used to have an account using my uk number but now I moved back to my home country with telephone networks that do not support facetime.

The telephone network doesn't support Face Time regardless of the country.
There are some countries where FaceTime is not allowed because of local laws.

HT1918 What do I do when I have move to another country? I want to purchase apps on iTunes but when I put in me new bank details, it won't work.

I lived in UK for 6 years and have now moved to Germany.
My bank details have changed.
Do I have to delete my current account on iTunes and would I loose all purchases?

Contact your carrier. Voice Mail is a carrier function, and setup and management differs from carrier to carrier.

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.

Creating countries - Move Org unit its positions to another country code

Hi Gurus,
The client used a single production server for all the countries under its one country grouping(10) for different countries (US, Malaysia, Sinagapore, China, India, UK).
We have only one country code for all the OM.
One Organizational unit needs to move to another country(39), of which all positions, jobs, and the employees assigned to it also needs to move with the Org unit to new country. We are going to change the PA PSAs as well to new country groupings
Is it possible, and if possible how to do it?
thanks in advance....

Hi Kumar,
As already stated by you change the PA and PSA's accordingly as per the new country groupings as PA's should be assigned to company code within the same country grouping.
In my knowledge I dont think you need to change anything with the Org Unit as OM objects don't refer to any country groupings as such. If you are using the account assignment infotype ( IT 1008) then you will have to change the Company code to your new company code as your new company code will have different country grouping ( 39).
Your FI CO objects like Cost centers can be changed to new cost centers as per your requirement from the date you move your Org Units or Positions to new country groupings.
We can also wait for other expert comments.
cheers
Ajay

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.

How can I buy movies available only on another country's iTunes?

how can I buy movies available only on another country's iTunes?

You can't, you can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country you will need to be in that country and have a valid billing address, and iTunes account. in that country. You can try requesting that the films that you want to buy be added to your store, but ultimately it's the film studios decision : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
