Buying from itunes store while outside of Canada

Hello,
I am travelling to France and my canadian credit card is not recognized in itunes. I dont have a french credit card. How can I still buy items from the canadian itunes. This situation if very frustrating when travelling for a long period outside of Canada.
Is there anything that can be done to change itunes options and be able to connect to the canadian itunes?
Thank you!

Strictly speaking, yes, that is correct. You agree not to attempt to use the US iTunes Store from another country whether or not you have a US iTunes Store account. I haven't seen any confirmed reports that Apple is blocking such connections, but that is indeed the official policy.

    Are the ones from the CD's on iTunes? You may just have to sync them over to the phone.

  • Buying from iTUnes store from outside of US

    Hello,
    The Itunes store license agreement has the following statement:
    U.S. SALES ONLY
    Purchases or rentals (as applicable) from the iTunes Store are available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions, and are not available in any other location. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Store from outside of the available territory. Apple may use technologies to verify such compliance.
    Does it mean I'm not able to make itunes purchases/rentals while being on vacation or for
    other reasons outside of US using US billing/mailing addresses and US credit cards?
    This looks strange a bit.
    Thank you.

  • Cant buy from itunes store, message says there was a problem downloading - the network connection could not be made

    recently changed my PC and successfully exported my itunes library. My problem is that when I now try to buy a song I get a message saying that there was a problem downloading (song) and that the network connection could not be made. Occasionally I get that the itunes store is temporarily unavailable and to try again later. The old PC was running Windows XP and the new one Windows Vista. I have already tried downloading a fresh version of itunes and ticked the repair option. Everything else appears to be working normally. Can anyone help please?

    Still having trouble, the computer is authorized and appears normal in its function. Recently discovered that while it lists items I have purchased on another device it will not let me download to this computer and shows the same message as above. Also noticed that itunes says it is not connected to the internet which cannot be true because the list of previous purchases appears. Any help gratefully appreciated

  • Buying from iTunes store

    I've been having problems with iTunes since upgrading to 8.2.1 such as not having the minimise/close buttons in the right hand corner & not being able to scroll through music etc. This morning I've noticed when I so into the iTunes store & the top music list there's no Buy button agianst the songs! Is this something to do with the upgrade or something else?

  • HT204411 why can't i buy from itunes store worldwide, even when i have a credit card? Why am i restricted to my own country?

    Is there anyone who can enlightened me?
    Why so many barriers?

    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...
    Also... See this Discussion...

  • Cannot buy from iTunes Store in iTunes after updates.

    I am running the latest version of iTunes and OSX.  Everything was fine until then.
    I went to purchase a movie from within iTunes and as soon as I hit Buy, iTunes locked up and would no longer respond.  I thought it was a fluke, and went on and purchased on my AppleTV (3, latest software) and was able to watch the movie.  However, iTunes on my Mac does not show the movie as being purchased, even though my Apple TV, iPad and iPhone all show the movie as purchased.  When I go into iTunes on the Mac, and select Store menu, Check For Available Downloads, nothing comes up to download. 
    I have deauthorized and authorized.
    I have checked/repaired permissions.

    I am having the same problem on my ipod touch and my iPad 2 any suggestions on how to fix this

  • Trouble buying from iTunes Store

    When I try to buy something, after typing my user name and password, I get the red error on the log-in box that says "Field Name: null.lang.java.Exception: I even tried resetting the password, but get the same thing.

    First, try just quitting iTunes (you may want to restart your system) and try again.
    If that doesn't fix the problem. click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes window. When a second window appears asking for your password, hit "logout" instead. Then click on the "login" in the top right corner again and type in your user name and password. Then try logging in again. If it still doesn't work, repeat the process two or three times and see if that will eventually clear the error (it did for other users who've had the same problem in the past).
    Hope this helps.

  • Trying to buy from itunes store and keep getting pushed back to sign in screen

    I'm a long-time itunes user, but yesterday I went to buy a new video and update some apps, and the program keeps pushing me back to the signin screen, asking for credit card security, etc.  When I finish, I get the same login screen.  I've sent please to Apple and get nothing but standard reply of "we're working on it."  Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, were you able to fix it yourself?  if so, please advise.

    We are using wireless...guess it's 3G. Are not having internet problems, synced with the computer even. Can't seem to get anything with iTunes even though we are signed in.

  • New buys from iTunes Store won't transfer to iPod

    Earlier I posted about losing 1 authorisation because of changing the motherboard of my computer. Once I found out how to authorise the new one all seemed oke again; authorisation error disappeared.
    However I've found I'm missing over 50 tracks on my iPod.
    They still are in the iTunes Library though. I bought about 10 more tracks yesterday and synchronised my iPod. The songs did not get transfered. They have been selected in the iTunes Library. I'm lost.
    How come some earlier and some newly bought tracks don't get synchronised no more? Only things that have happened is
    A. I changed my motherboard (but authorised the computer again after doing so)
    B. I re-installed lates version of iTunes (7.3.2.6)

    I did reset the iPod back to factory settings, and after that all selected tracks in my iTunes Library were properly synchronised again.
    Still wondering though if there'd been a less 'drastic' measure.
