Buying from US store from another country?

Is that possible? If so, what might i be doing wrong, when i click to buy something i just get redirected to my national store which apparently doesn't have what i want. Isn't the internet supposed to bridge gaps or something...?

This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
b) a mailing address for your residence in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
This, again, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.

  • Buying song in store of another country

    Hi,
    So I've been wanting to buy Korean songs that ar not in the US store, but are available for purchasing in another country's store, but I can't have an account in that store because I don't live in that country. Is there a way around this?
    Thanks!

    You cannot buy songs which arent licenced for the country you are in. The only way round this would to use an internet proxy based in korea but i'm not sure how advanced you are. A simple google search will be able to help you most in this case. Otherwise I see no other way round it.
    Regards,

  • How do i move from one I tunes store to another country if I have credit remaining

    How do i move from one I tunes store to another country if I have credit remaining

    You can't whilst you have a balance. If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask them if they can remove the balance so that you can change countries : 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

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    The payment methods that are available in your country will show on your account. If debit cards aren't available on that screen then you won't be able to use it as your payment method.

  • TS1702 Change from one country App Store to another country

    How doe one change from one country App Store to another country ????

    When I try to change my country in the Account section of the App Store (and the ITunes Store)  I receive the message "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores."
    I am unable to understand the reason for this and can't find a way around this. The amount of credit remaining in my account is less than the price of any App or Song.
    I am also concerned after reading other threads that if I change countries, whether the Apps purchased in one country will still be available in the new country.
    Some have proposed using credit cards to change the country for the account, but  accounts funded through vouchers exclusively should be able to be able to change countries without this requirements.
    Thanks in advance for any solutions or comments.

  • Hello, how can i change my billing address from united states to another country

    I cannot manage to change my billing address from united states to another country.. Therefore am not able to use my current credit card to purchase an application.. Any idea anyone??

    What do you mean by 'cannot manage to change my billing address' ? What happens when you try to update your details, and what country are you in ? You need to be in a country to use its store.

  • 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

  • How to access ITune store of another country?

    I'm in the U.S., but I want to access the iTune store in another country. I'm looking to buy some books in my native language. Is it possible to do so?

    Yes, it is possible--if you already have an iTunes account in the second country or you can open one. You usually need a method of payment located in that country such as a bank account or credit card. You usually also have to specify some kind of address in that country. You can then switch back and forth on your iPad between the US account and the other one. It is just a bit awkward, but I do it all the time between my US account and my foreign one.
    So if you don't yet have an iTunes account in that other country, opening one would ve your first step.

  • I have 0,3€ credits. How can remove them so that I can change to the app store of another country?

    I have 0,3€ credits. How can remove them so that I can change to the app store of another country? I need to change to the Chinese app store as the apps I am looking for can be only found there. Thanks for all answer in advance!

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to zero your account balance. Note that if you're not in China, you won't be able to use the Chinese App Store.

  • ITunes 11.1.2 sound is distorted, from the library from the store, from my external DAC. Tried swapping USB ports, reloading songs in an uncompressed format, etc. Sound is awful. Thanks for any ideas.

    iTunes 11.1.2 sound is distorted on my iMac, from the library from the store, from my external DAC. Tried swapping USB ports, reloading songs in an uncompressed format, etc. Sound is awful. Thanks for any ideas.

    I have the same issue.  If I open up the Equalizer and select any setting (including the one that is already checkmarked), the sound corrects itself.  However, it goes right back to crappy when a new song comes on.

    Is there a way to use the warrancy in my country if I buy the iphone from another country from an applestore?

    If both places are in EU countries there is no issue. If not you will have to return to the country where you purchased it for warranty service.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Playing movies from iTunes store on another computer

    I am admittedly new to iTunes, but I was wondering if I can access my purchases on another computer? Or is what I downloaded from the store only downloaded onto one specific computer and inaccessible again from the store without repurchasing it? I downloaded a few movies onto my mac but I wanted to burn the movies from my Dell onto a DVD. Can I do that without saving the movies from my mac onto a flash drive and transferring the files to my Dell?

    To view on another computer you need to transfer the file to the other computer. Add the file to iTunes on that computer. If iTunes on the second computer is authorized with the same account as the first one, the file will play.
