Buying from the UK store when your home store is US...
So there is the album that is not carried in the US iTunes store but is, however, in the UK iTunes store.... is there anyway to purchase this album and use the billing and card I have here in the States? It keeps telling me that I am only valid to use the US store... but I can bring up the other stores and see what they have.

Sorry, no. You can "window shop" in any country's store you wish. But to purchase, you must have a credit card with an attached billing address from that country. These rules are required by the copyright holders for content, not Apple.

I want to buy from the iTunes Store, and I can not why?, I want to buy from the iTunes Store, and I can not why?
Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here, we won't know why.
What happens when you try to buy something, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

HT1338 buying from the App store
I am trying to buy from the App Store (pages to be more specific) using the money I have in my account but I am only able to buy using my visa information.
How do I use the money in my account instead?With a balance over $100, even with fees and taxes, your VISA account should not be charged.
Try selecting None in the Edit Payment window so the App Store is forced to deduct the total from the balance.
Click Account on the right side of the App Store window. Enter your Apple ID and password then click View Account (you may be prompted for your password one more time)
Then click Edit to the right of Payment Type and select None then click Done bottom right corner of the App Store window.
Then try purchasing Pages. -

Will i get the same care from the Apple Website as i do when buying from the Apple Store?
I am looking into buying an iPad mini 3 for christmas, i wanted to get the free engraving which only comes when you order from the website.
I was wondering if i will get the same level of care buying from the website as i did from the Apple Store?
I purchased a MacBook Pro from the Apple Store in Bath, UK about 3 years ago now, and when my Hard Drive packed up i took it into the Apple Store in Cardiff, UK to get it looked at. They replaced my Hard Drive there and then; free of charge as they were able to trace my purchase back to the Apple Store despite it being out of warranty. Will it be the same if there ever was a problem if i was to buy it off of the Apple Website?The warranty is the warranty. Your device will be backed if it's bought from the site or brick and mortar store or even an authorized third party (in other words I bought my iPad at best buy and I can still take it into an apple store and have them back the warranty)

Buying from the App Store--how many machines can I install it on?
When I buy Mountain Lion from the app store, am I permitted to install it on my wife's machines as well as mine? My children's?

Yes on all computers you own using the same Apple ID of the original purchase.
Make sure your household computers meet these hardware requirements.
Back up each Mac user home directory. The home directories will not be touched during an Upgrade, but it is good diligence anyway.
You can re-download the Mountain Lion updater to each Mac by using the Option key in the App Store Purchases section. The last thing the updater does on completion, is remove itself from the computer.
Make sure that any applications you presently use have been upgraded to work with Mountain Lion. PowerPC applications will no longer work. Some Applications may need to be reinstalled.

Can't download or buy from the App Store
Whenever I try to download or buy something from the App Store it tells me to give the 3 security questions and I click ok than a pop up appears to write my password but it keeps popping every time I write although its correct so I can't buy or download anything from the App Store , plzzzz help
I have figured out already. Firstly please try:
1) Installing iBooks on your iPad via iTunes on PC/MAC
2) Adjust the time of your iPad to 6 months ahead (e.g. 2013 May)
3) Close all apps currently running, clear Safari cache and history, sign out of Apple ID (Settings>iTunes & App Stores), reboot your device
4) Open iBooks on your iPad, download any 1 book
5) System should prompt you to enter 3 security questions
6) Enter your answer and click "Done" at bottom right part of your input keyboard (Do not press upper right button)
7) Done!
I cannot imagine the system has gone so stupid. Apple, please retify the problem ASAP. -
Are there advantages to buying from the Apple Store v authorised reseller?
I am planning on buying a new Macbook Pro as an upgrade from my macbook. I bought my last 2 Apple computers from my local Apple Premium reseller and have been happy with their service but I was thinking of taking a trip up to London to the Regent Street Apple Store just to take a look. Is there any advantage to buying direct from Apple, either online or in the Store, over buying from a reseller. Is the aftersales service any better if anything goes wrong?
No big differences, overall. Warranty coverage is the same. Return policy for DOA machines may differ (Apple will give you a brand new one, resellers may try to repair it). Apple Store stock tends to be fresher than most resellers (i.e. an MBP from the Apple Store is more lkely to have Leopard pre-installed, vs. a "drop-in" upgrade DVD).
Hope this helps... -
How do I re-download aperture if I didn't buy from the app store?
I bought Aperture a long while back (I think as AP2), and then upgraded to 3. I've now replaced my HD and need to reinstall it.
Easiest thing I can think of would be to download it from the app store, but I didn't buy it through the app store. Is there another way to re-install aperture? Or, alternatively, is there a way to "upgrade" to the app store version, which would be more convenient altogether?
Thanks! -a.Boo :-(
I mean, I still have the old hard drive... I guess I could just copy the application over, but there's probably a bunch of support files I don't want to track down by hand.
Or, maybe I can download the Aperture 3 trial from Apple and try entering my serial into that? I might give that a shot.
Thanks for the help,

I haven't yet tried it in iTunes 10.5.3 (I'm downloading it right now), but I don't expect that Apple has fixed the problem, if there is one. I have it set to automatically sync my music and sometimes it will work, usually when I make large changes. To overcome this, I have to unselect the (a?) playlist from the music sync for my iPod, sync it, reselect the playlist, and sync it again. It's very annoying to me. This problem exists whether I sync it with a cord or wirelessly. I have it set to backup on my computer (last generation MacBook (2010), base model, OS X 10.7.2).

How to avoid store jumping? Why cant there be a seamless Itune Store?
Due to the rights of certain content not all content is available in all areas. This means the US store may have items that are not available in the UK store, and the UK store may have items that are not available in the US store, and etc and etc. This is likely to not change anytime soon.

When I originally set up my ipod I can't remember a lot of the things I was prompted to do.
I can't remember what was involved in setting up an account.
Now, when I have gone to buy an album it has asked me to sign in. I put in my username and password etc and it tells me: 'To use this apple ID you must first log in to the 'my info webpage' then provide additonal security information'.
I don't know what this is or where to find it?
It's probably something dead easy and I'm being stupid, but hey, I'm stupid.When signed in here on the discussions just click my public profile then click my info.....
hope it works...
