Apple Id only valid in Canadian stores ... I live in Arizona.

My iTunes keeps telling me that I cannot purchase from the US store and that my Apple ID is only valid for purchases in Canadian stores ... I have checked the address that I listed when I signed up and it is correct ... in Arizona. Any suggestions ?

If you have...
- set your iTunes Store country to USA (verified by the USA flag at the bottom right of the Store),
- provided billing credentials with a USA adress,
- and are physically in the USA...
then you are eligible to use the USA store.
If all the above are true and it is still not working, contact iTunes Customer Service.

Why is my apple id only valid in us store

I created a new apple ID (email of the previous one no longer exists). The information states that this new email is only valid for the US store. How can I alter that?

Apple ID only valid for purchases in Turkish Store

Folks,
I recently decide to move USA, for starting on right food applied for a software bootcamp and accepted. Bootcamp send me some preperation material just for being ready until the course but those books send via Amazon and I need to download Kindle app for reading them and this is where my problem starts.
App store do not let me download the Amazon Kindle app by giving the error "This Apple ID only valid for purchases in the Turkish iTunes store, so I understand the free Kindle app is not downloadable from my country then I updated my Apple contact as my course address and phone and change the Apple country inside iTunes but still getting same country related error.
Restart my Macbook with the hope of making the address change effective but it is not being effective. So is there any way available for me to download that Kindle app.
Thank you in advance,

Hey,
Yes, Apple support offered me a solution but this solution involving backing up all my iTunes purchases(they won't be available after country change) and needs a US credit card or at least a gift card for changing the country. So I decide not to change country until moving there completely. By the way all those country restrictions do not make sense for me.
One world, one flag, one language that's what I want

Why is my Apple ID only valid for the Apple store in one country (Ireland) even though I have moved to and live in the USA?

I have moved from Ireland to the USA and now (legally) live in Seattle. When I try to login to the iTunes store here in the USA, I get a message telling me that my Apple ID is only valid for purchases from the Ireland iTunes store. What moron put in a restriction like that? Apple is now telling me that although I can legally move from one country to another and take up residence, I can not travel globally with my Apple ID? What use is having an Apple ID then as I can travel and buy globally with Amazon?

Do NOT create another ID. Change the country of your present ID.

Realize, however, just as you can no longer visit your old public library in Ireland you also no longer have access to the store or your purchases made there. You can continue to use them as they are on your computer now but that makes it all the more important you maintain backups in case of loss. If you upgrade an app I think you will have to pay for it again since you no longer have access to the Irish Store.

HT201195 i want to redeem a gift sent from Sweden, but it wont be redeemed cause i am in Jordan and the code is only valid in Sweden store. What do i do ?

Hello
I am Balquis
My brother sent me an itunes gift card from Sweden and it won't be redeemed because it's code is only valid for customers of the Sweden store.
What do i do to redeem it?

You won't be able to, all iTunes gift cards are country-specific, they can only be redeemed and used in their country of issue - so you will need to be in Sweden with a Swedish billing address on your account to be able to use it. You could send the card back to your brother, or sell or give it to somebody else who is in Sweden

HT2534 I m in India and I want to use my apple I'd but it say that it's only valid in australia store what to do?

Create new account won't accept card detail

You can only use the Apple store in the country in which you currently are located. In addition, you must have a credit card with a billing address IN THE COUNTRY in which case you're located as well.
In your case, you need to use the Indian Apple Store, and must have a credit card with a billing address in India.

I am trying to update some of my apple apps which have upgrades pending but AppStore says that my apple I'd is only valid for us store. I have bought some apps in us but now live in Belgium registered with the uk store. Trying to get these upgrades

See title
Issues with device iPad apparently being registered to us store (now living in Belgium) when trying to upgrade apps which have fixes pending. How do I get these fixes Some apps I have bought while living in us and some while living in euorope (uk and Belgium)

I've seen this issue posted before and not seen a solution. When you change store country it breaks all ties to the previous store.

Apple ID only valid for purchases in US

I have read the many posts regarding this topic. However, I need to ask the question.
I am from the US, with a US iTunes account, and a US iPad.
I am stationed overseas (U.S. Military). The local television provider (sattelite tv) has a FREE app in the UK store. I cannot download/install this due to the Apple ID error stated in the subject line. First, it is not a copyright infringement if the item is given away FREE. Second it is not a copyright infringement if the item is being used in the country that it is sold in. So let's not go down that road. Free Apps are Free Apps. Additionally, in order to use this app I must sign into the app with a valid tv provider account, thus validating my authorization to use this app. Therefore, there is no need to block this app.
How do I go about getting this app?
APP = Sky Go

You would need to set up an account in the UK iTunes Store to be able to get any apps available exclusively there. This is controlled by the app's developer; if they don't want it released in other countries, and those apps that access UK content for reasons of licensing do indeed generally restrict, Apple cannot do so.
To set up an account to get free apps in the UK iTunes Store, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of UK-based payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

"This Apple ID is only valid for use in the Canadian Store." - but I'm in Canada!

I just restored my iPad, and am using a new Apple ID on it, that I just created.
When I try to download apps from the App Store, I get the following notice: "This Apple ID is only valid for use in the Canadian Store."... but I live in Canada!
I checked in Settings > General > International > Region Format, and it does indeed say Canada. I also checked my region from within my Apple ID account, and it also says Canada.
I'm at a loss here guys, can anyone shed some light on how to rectify this situation?
Thanks!
PS: I also should mention that before I restored my iPad, I didn't have this problem. Only with the new Apple ID.

You do have a credit card with a Canadian billing address registered to the new account do you not? In other words, you are not trying to use a credit card with a U.S. billing address are you?

TS1702 My apps won't update and I get a message saying "This apple I'd is only valid for use in a Canadian store". I only have a canadian account. Why can't I update on already purchased apps?

I live in white rock but do travel to the states a lot. I've heard that if you have an American account you can buy apps from the us but have to log in back and forth to use them. But I only have one account and it's Canadian. Everything worked fine until recently I can no longer update apps I've been using since I bought my iPad. It always kicks me back and forth between us and Canadian stores but doesn't update anything. I've tried restarting and reloading, deleting and repurchasing. I haven't seen anybody else with this one! Please help!

Go to Settings > Store, select your Apple ID and press View Account. You will be able to change the country

I need to change from Japan App Store to Australia App Store. I get this every time I try using My MacID: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." What next TY. JohnCahill

I moved from Japan to Australia. I need to change from Japan App Store to the Australian App Store. I get the following message every time I try using My MacID which was set up in Japan: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." At one point... by which path I do not remember... I was instructed to created a new ID. I fill out the new ID forms, but the address is rejected each time... quite confusing. Does it want a new name? But it says I cannot use an apple domain (tag?) even though I guess it has to be an apple address... ? So I have iTunes crdit cards purchansed in Australia, can't spend in AUstralian iTunes Store, get directed back to Japan each time, and can't open a new ID... What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance. John. Australia.

You must have a separate Apple ID registered in the other store along with a valid bank-issued charge card in the other country, and a legal billing address in the other country.
Sorry... But... You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country..

"This Apple ID is only valid for purchase in the US store" and I'm in the PH?

Hi! So originally my Billing Info was set in the US and today I wanted to upgrade my MBP to OS ML. I'm in the PH now so I changed my Billing Info and set it to my address here in the Philippines, but everytime I hit that "Buy App" button in the App Store and log in, I'm always taken to my Billing Info and even though I already changed my account info, the address that's displayed there is still the US one. I tried to change the country numerous times and set it to PH, but I always get the message saying my Apple ID is only valid for purchase in the US. I'm taken to the US store afterwards, and after I hit "Buy App" the same thing happens over and over again.
I've been trying to figure this out for over an hour now. What else can I do?

Try contacting the App Store support folks - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
I sort of understand what's going on, but not sure why you weren't able to rectify the problem. Maybe the support folks can help.
