Buying music while being abroad

Hello,
I live in Canada, but am working in a country which does not have an iTunes Music Store. Can I still buy music from the Canadian iTunes Music Store? My credit card is Canadian (but had to change my billing address to here).
Thanks!
Paul

The iTunes Music Store will indeed check the billing address when you set up a new account. So if the billing address for your credit card isn't in Canada and you don't already have an iTMS account, you won't be able to set one up.
If you already have an account set up, then as long as it's working with your current billing address you should be fine, though you may eventually have it fail if at some point the billing address is checked.

Is it allowed to buy e.g. iBooks in a foreign country while being there?

I know it's not allowed to buy music or something else in a foreign iTunes-store since Apple has changed the iTunes-Licence.
Does the iTunes-Licence allow to purchase e.g. iBooks in the British iTunes-store while being in London on holiday? Can I use my account or do I need a British one? Do I need a British credit-card?

You would need a British credit card (I don't know if a gift card would work) and a billing address for that credit card in Britain. Basically I think the whole idea is you are supposed to be a true resident of the country.

When playing music itunes pops out every 30 s on the forefront. It drives me crazy as I can't surf, write on word or do anything else while listenning music without being constantly interrupted. How can I stop it ?

Do you have Logitech Gaming Software installed? If so, uninstall it and see if it resolves the issue.

Access to BlackBerry World store of US while being outside US

Hi BlackBerry
I was wondering why the access to blackberry world is determined by which mobile carrier I'm currently using my phone with.
Correct me if I'm wrong, If someone from the US for expample is out of the US and is using a sim card from the local carrier in the country that he is currently living in, he cannot access the BlackBerry world of the US, instead, he will gain access to the BlackBerry World of the country which he is currently living in.
I think that Android also has the same concept with their users' ID's, which I see as very annoying compared to Apple, which gives you the opportunity to have your user profile linked to your country's AppStore by entering a valid address and a payment method relating to your country or issued from your country.
Apple also gives the opportunity to the user to choose (No Payment) option and enjoy using and downloading all free apps, which is a very good option, and is currently available on BlackBerry and Android as well.
I really Hope if BlackBerry can follow the same approach of Apple with while creating or editing the BlackBerry ID, in order to have the BlackBerry ID as "Country determined" and NOT to be as "Mobile Carrier determined" as the case is now. I hope also if you do so to keep the same flexibility (as now) of not obligating the user to enter a payment method while creating or editing a BlackBerry ID.
I think that if BlackBerry considers and implements this, it will give a big push to its users and the traffic flow on he BlackBerry World for downloading and buying apps, movies, music,...etc, as it allow for example US users US to access the BB world of US while being outside US for a trip or work. The same will apply for other users from any country around the wold.
So, I hope that BlackBerry will provide this flexibility as provided by Apple (and maybe a better one). Please consider this seriously and keep moving ahead.
Regards.

Hey ahmed_mh1,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the feedback.
Currently BlackBerry World will take the localization settings from the APN settings on your micro SIM card.
If this does change in the future, I would suggest checking for updates at www.blackberry.com/appworld
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

Can't buy music with iTunes... and more

Dear Apple-people: Don't you test your software before you release it?
1) With the new iTunes 6.0.0.18 I can no longer buy music from the iTunes Music Store!
When I add a song to my shopping cart, I get an error message saying that "An error occured...".
However, the song or album actually gets into my shopping cart!
When I try to buy what's in the shopping cart, I get another "An error occured...", an iTunes won't let me buy/download the music.
2) After the release of iTunes 5.x I complained about not being able to transfer more than two songs from my library to my iPod Shuffle 1Gb at a time.
Apple.com never gave me any solution other than: "Try and restore your iPod".
Yes... that was the first thing I tried before posting my complaints here.
Now, after I installed iTunes-6.0.0.18, things are no better. When I try to transfer more than a few songs to my iPod, iTunes quickly disconnects and shortly after reconnects my iPod, and the transfer is cancelled.
However, if I transfer only one or two songs at a time, I can actually manage to put songs on my iPod, but I'm telling you... it's not acceptable.
iTunes version 4.x worked without problems.
What have you done in order to make the new iTunes so unstable?
It seems that every new release has new bugs in it.
Sorry about the brusk tone, but I am highly disappointed!
Don't you test your software?
Has Apple been bought by Microsoft?
What is going on?
And just for reference: no, there is nothing wrong with my USB. I have a digital camera, a memory stick, a scanner, a printer and an external hard drive, all connecting via usb, and all work fine.
Looking forward to solutions!

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
Cheers.

You canot easily change your country settings. The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

TS3297 Won't let me buy music..... Keeps asking for security questions

Me my brother and dad all share the same account. The fact that we can't buy music is very frustrating please help

Do you know the answers to your security questions ? If you do then you should be able to answer them and be able to buy music (other people have also posted over the last couple of days about being asked for their answers despite it not being the first purchase on the computer or device).
If you can't remember the answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Buying Music Through iTunes

I have my account for the iTunes Store setup that when I want to buy music you just click purchase and it starts downloading. My kids just got their own iPods and I want to make sure they don't become click happy and start buying music all the time. I would like to have iTunes setup to ask for a username and password before a purchase occurs. I thought it would be logically under the Preferences: Store tab but there are no options. I would like for everyone in my house to have their own Apple accont so they can purchase music themselves rather then killing my credit card.
Thanks

Have more or less sorted it now by deauthorising all computers then re-authorising this one. It seems that it is the account that can only be used on 5 active computers/opperating systems, not, as I thought, the music only being authorised for play on 5 computers. The whole system is a bit frustrating particularly for anyone who, who like me, likes to wipe their hard drive from time to time

Cannot stream music while displaying photos

I noticed that when I'm on the main menu screen on my Apple TV, I can start streaming music to it through AirTunes from my MacBook. However, as soon as I open Photos / My Photos, and select an album to start browsing through my photo collection, the music streaming stops. When I try to re-connect from my MacBook, I get an error saying that "The remote speaker Apple TV is currently being used by someone else. Please select another speaker from the menu at the bottom of the iTunes window." When I exit photos, I can start streaming again.
This is rather annoying, as I would like to listen to AirTunes at the same time as I'm viewing my photos. I have not set up my Apple TV to play any music while doing so, so there should be no conflict. Is there a workaround for this?

I don't believe you can use the tv for anything else while using it as remote speakers for airtunes (including watching photos)
Your options would be to have the tv play music itself while watching photos (seems much more straight forward to play music and photos from one place than one from the tv and one from your mac)
or
Set the screensaver to slideshow and allow it to engage while streaming music from your mac via airtunes.

Buying music and apps on iPhone and on iTunes

Ok, so for the past while, iTunes has been unable to recognize my iPhone and therefor, i havnt been syncing it to my iTunes library. What I have been doing is redeeming iTunes cards on my iPhone and buying music and apps directly on it. Now I finally got around to updating my iTunes, and it recognizes my iPhone. Is there anyway to sync my iPhone to my libary, without losing the musics and apps ive purchased on using the iTunes and App Store apps on my iPhone?

Authorize the computer from the Store menu if needed, connect the iPhone, and choose Transfer Purchases from the dialog box which appears or the File menu.

How can I buy music again?

I had a problem with my iPod and had to have it restored at an Apple store. Now if I try to by a song from iTunes on the iPod I get this message: A valid address is necessary to purchase using store credit.
I have synched the iPod while signed into the store in iTunes but that didn't fix the problem.
How can I fix this to buy music from the iPod?
Thanks.

Well, it turned out the problems was with my address. Apparently after four years of having an account for my iPods, Apple decided that a PO Box was not a valid address. They must have done this quite recently. When I did an experiment of adding my street address the problem cleared up, even though the post office won't deliver mail to a street address in my small Rocky Mountain town of 287 people. Of course they never told me that they changed their address policy other than through the cryptic message.
Thanks for the help.

Can i activate my twin sim card in a new iphone 4s while being in the States?

Hi all! I live in Cyprus and I'm travelling to the States next week. I'm planning to buy the iphone 4s from an apple store (factory unclocked) and I would like to know if I can activate the twin sim card I purchased from my carrier here in Cyprus. The carrier is vodaphone and the reason I bought a twin sim card is that I already have another mobile device which uses a sim card. The people at the carrier's office told me that in order to activate the seond sim card (or twin card, both sim cards use the same phone number) I need to type #103# to swtich between the devices. If I was going to do this in Cyprus, it will work, but what about doing this thing while being in the States? Can I put the new sim card in the new iphone 4s that I'm going to buy, type #103# and then the sim card will be activated? Or should I need to do somethine else?
In case I cannot do this or if there is an alternative plan (e.g., activate the sim card using a friend's iphone 4s while I'm in Cyprus?), I would be glad to hear it.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

In my OPINION, you will not be able to activate your SIM issued from Cyprus while in U.S.A. The simple logic is, your "future SIM" will be on roaming in U.S.A. and in order to search for the signals for roaming partner carrier and get registered (provided that there is a roaming partner of vodaphone Cyprus in U.S.A.) it needs to be activated first. So, you need to activate your SIM in Cyprus to be able to use it with a compatible roaming partner in U.S.A.
