Buying TV shows from Canada

Hiya,
I am in Canada and have created an iTunrs store account. I cannot see the TV show option unless I change the country to the US. When I try to buy a TV show I get a message telling me that my Canadian account is no good for US. So my dilemna is I cannot buy TV shows.
any ideas....
Doug

TV shows are only offered in some countries, drnoca.
We can't buy them from the iTunes store in Australia, either.
I'd guess that Apple simply don't have the necessary agreements with the Canadian rights holders.
The only solution AFAIK would be to buy them from the US store using an account with a US credit card address.

    how can I buy tv shows from Jordanian iTunes store?
    I have used a local visa card and I cannot buy movies or tv shows on Apple TV as I get a message saying that I have to buy them from the Jordanian iTunes store!!

    It does seem a bit off that the rules are that stringent....
    This is not a decision made by Apple.
    It is made by the copyright holding music or television companies and is part of the contract with the recording artist or program producer. They make the decision as to what territories are distributed to and what territories are left out.

  • Buying TV shows from iTunes USA

    I live in Canada and I really want to download some shows from iTunes(USA). Am I able to do it just by using those pre-paid cards that they sell at Best Buy? Or do I have to give them a credit card number? Can someone help me???

    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 Music Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from the US iTunes Music Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
    a) a credit card issued by a bank in the US with a billing address also in the, or
    b) a mailing address for your residence in the US and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in the US.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from the US iTMS. The same applies to any other 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 tv shows from itunes

    First of all I know this is the wrong forum for this topic... however the itunes forum isn't moving half as fast... Anyways I was just wondering if anyone knows when the itunes music store will be selling tv shows in Canada or if they ever will, because right now I believe it is only in the U.S.

    No one here works for Apple and we can't speculate when Canada will get TV shows to buy. It's up to the US networks and Apple to license outside the US and Apple's ability to work with networks in other countries.

  • Buying TV Shows from Swiss site?

    Hi,
    New to this! I've noticed that it is possible to buy TV shows & Movies from the US ITunes store, but since I live in Switzerland, I can't....
    Is there anyways that I could get this? Or are there plans from Apple to allow UK or Swiss sites to purchase TV shows?
    Many thanks
    Peter

    Whether or not TV content becomes available in the Swiss store is up to the Swiss copyright holders for TV content. Until they contract with Apple for distribution, there is nothing Apple can do. The major movie studios, so far, have not allowed Apple to distribute film content internationally, either.

  • Buying iPhone 4 from Canada Apple Retail Store

    Hi
    I am from India and I am visiting Canada in Jan. I plan to buy the unlocked iPhone 4 from the Apple Retail Store in Vancouver. Though I am aware that the unlocked Phone is available at the Apple ONLINE store, I'm not sure if the unlocked version is available in the retail store. Would they ask me for any address proof?

    Are you aware that Apple will only provide support for a Canadian-sold iPhone in Canada? If you have a problem with your iPhone that would require warranty service, you'd have to ship the iPhone back to someone in Canada to take or send it to Apple and then have that person ship it back to you.
    Far better to just buy your iPhone from an authorized seller in India, even if it will be higher in price. That way you will be able to get local support and service. If you want an iPhone 4, I'd strongly suggest that you wait for it to be officially released in India.
    Regards.

  • Buying TV shows from US store, but I'm in Canada

    Hi all,
    Please forgive me for asking, as I'm sure someone has asked this somewhere else, but I can't find it. I live in Canada, and I wanted to buy some seasons of TV shows. They are not listed in the Canadian iTunes store (actually, there aren't any TV shows listed there at all), but I found them in the US store.
    When I tried to buy, I received a message stating:
    Your account is only valid for purchases in the Canadian store. Clicking OK will take you to this store.
    Can I create an account for the US store if I am living in Canada?
    Thanks in advance for any helpful advice!
    Regards,

    You need both a credit card and iTunes user account with a registered address in the country of the store you want to purchase from.
    This is due to copyright isues with the publishers (not Apple).

  • Buying TV Shows in Canada

    I thought i would give downloading a few TV shows a try but when i opened my iTunes Store there was no option for TV shows. I have the option for Music, Music videos, Audiobooks, Podcasts, iPod Games, and Pixar Shot Films, but no TV Shows. Anyone know why or how i can fix that?

    You can't. TV content is only available in the US store at this time. Until the copyright holders for TV content in Canada authorize Apple to distribute there is nothing Apple can do.
    As a new poster, I need to suggest that you not post in duplicate. Duplicates are frowned upon in these forums & have a tendency to get you ignored.

  • Why can't I buy TV shows from the US with my Australian paypal?

    I want to purchase Jerseylicious seasons 1 and 2 and it keeps telling me that my itunes id is only for Australia.  What difference does it make if I am Australian or American?  I still want to purchase it.

    From the itunes store terms of service:
    to purchase from an iTunes Store in a particular country, you must have both a residential address and a billing address in that particular country. Items on any particular country's iTunes Store are available only for distribution to customers who use a credit card, debit card, iTunes Gift Certificate, or iTunes Gift Card issued in and for that country.
    it has to do with licensing etc.

  • Can't use Apple ID to buy TV shows on iTunes?

    I tried to buy and download a British television series through iTunes, but it said I'm not authorised to download it with my Swedish Apple ID. It switched me over to the Swedish Apple Store, where the tv show is not available. How can I buy TV shows from the "American iTunes Store", which for some reason contains British shows? Thanks.

    You cannot use the UK iTunes Store without 1) being physically present in the UK and 2) setting up an account in the UK iTunes Store, either a new account or by converting your Swedish account, either of which will require you having a UK-issued credit card. The same would apply to the US iTunes Store; you'd have to be in the US and have a US credit card.
    So if you live in Sweden, you will not be able to buy any content not offered in the Swedish iTunes Store.
    Regards.

    Deleting it from the Pod after copying it to the coputer will not dlelte it from your ligrary.
