Buying in different itunes shops (around the world)

hi there...hope anyone can help me.i live in switzerland,and my account is set for the swiss itunes store..which is just ok, compared to some others around the world. a lot i can't get there, like my u.s. tv shows i love to watch.every time i try to access another countries store, i get denied access. any ideas why? thanks for your help, if anyone reads this.marco

This question is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address 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 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. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

  • MacBook Pro Prices around the world

    I have done some research and the following are prices from Apple Stores around the world on the web for the 2.0GHz standard model, no add-ons.
    Prices have been converted to United States Dollars for comparison:
    Apple USA: $2499
    Apple UK: $3167
    Apple Singapore: $2861
    Apple Israel: $3445
    Apple Australia: $2928
    Apple Germany: $3168
    Apple Finland: $3350
    So for a UK purchaser, they could fly to New York for a weekend for $300, buy a MBPro and have a good time and STILL save money !!!!

    Strangely - I actually had a chat with a customs officer at Heathrow once about this very issue.
    The law states that you have to declare - but in reality no one ever does ! How many people arrive at London Heathrow with laptops ??? More than I can count !! And I go through Heathrow at least once a month.
    To be a completely correct law abiding citizen,. every purchase over 136 pounds has to be declared at UK customs.
    If its for personal use, USUALLY they are not interested; if its for RE-SALE then its a different issue.
    If you are shipping goods via a web/telephone purchase then the US store will put a pro-forma invoice and a Certificate of Origin with the goods. This will be in US Dollars, so any taxes will be calculated based on the US Dollar price.
    If you ship from a US store (CompUSA) for example, the carrier (UPS, FedEx or DHL etc) will clear the goods through customs for you, and you will pay the duty (15%) of the actual declared value on the shipment form. NOT the value of the item in the UK.
    Its usually all seamless and troublefree - and it pays to look around INTERNATIONALLY before buying anything these days.
    NOTE: Most US based stores will NOT accept foreign credit cards via the web or phone apart from Amex, but its so simple to wire money these days bank to bank that really its not an issue.
    As always though, caveat emptor....

  • How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

    How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

    If it's in a single iTunes library, it's already being shared. If it's in separate user accounts on the computer, move one library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, point it there, and import the music from the other library to it.

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

  • Designer users around the world

    Hello Guys,
    I'd like to know how many users uses Oracle Designer around the world?
    Somebody can give me approximate number.
    Best regards,
    Anderson

    The early versions of Data Modeler were lacking. The latest release (3.0 in Jan 2011), with the exception of generators, does provide very similar functionality to Designer across the board. I have been using CASE tools since SQL Design Dictionary (SDD) and the latest version of Oracle Designer is the best in the relational - forms and reports world. It was lacking in true PL/SQL support for database packages, procedures and functions as well as support for object types.
    The newest DM 3.0, released a couple of weeks ago, does a number of things easier than Designer did. In the area of DFD and building and assigning data flows much easier than using the matrix diagrammer. There is also a scripting engine area that allows us to add multiple columns or attributes to tables or entities from a template. In Designer we had to use Pl/SQL and the API which could be intimidating. Now to add those housekeeping columns or modifying application prefixes is much easier.
    It looks like Oracle took the team that was building and maintaining Designer and pt them on the Data Modeler team. If this is the case, no pun intended, then all those years of experience on how build a CASE tool come with them as well as where to improve it.
    Things like domains maintenance is much easier now as well being able to capture PL/SQL in the database. Object Type support is hugely better in DM 3.0 than Designer ever had and it looks like Oracle is going to keep the tool up to date with what the database provides for object types. The glossary editor is new and opens a new door for the maintenance and standardization of names, abbreviations at the entity, attribute, table, column, (PK, UK and FK) key levels, etc... The scripting engine along with the design rules and the glossary does make life much easier for us that we had in Designer
    Now that DM 3.0 is out, you should take a look. They have some pretty good stuff.

    So, when the other iTunes account needs to be used, I should log out of Windows and have the other user log in under a different Windows account, correct?  
    M Parker, 
    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

  • Around the World Travel Map

    All, I am trying to create an around the world map, example path: NYC to LAX to SYD to FCO to NYC. The travel path is west but when I select the "Return to Starting Location" option the map is drawn with an eastward line. I would like the line to continue westward, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Larry, I am up to date, I was just trying something new and it appeard to work.
    If you do this:
    Desired Path to Show: NYC to LAX to SYD to FCO to NYC
    but instead use
    FCO to NYC to LAX to SYD to FCO to NYC to LAX
    and then zoom in and set the map, you can have the desired path without showing the two duplicate locations (1st FCO and last LAX) and have the map appear to show a correct path.

  • Are apple wires universal around the world? Or do you require a converter?

    I am traveling to Europe. Someone had told me that Apple products are universal around the world. Basically, insinuating that you do not require a converter. Is this accurate? My biggest fear is that I short the fuse in my apple products.
