Can a US resident purchase from a non-US Music Store?

When I (a US resident) attempt to purchase from the French or Italian Music Stores, I get the following message: "Your account is only valid for purchases in the US Music Store. Clicking OK will take you to this store."
(1) Is there any way I can amend my account to permit purchases with a US-issued credit card from non-US iTunes music stores?
(2) If not, please explain why, given that I can buy the same CD with the same credit card in France/Italy.
Thanks.

Not directed toward you, StarDeb55, but the explanation offered in the linked document is nonsense. None of the content that I want to buy from the French/Italian stores is offered in the US store; if it were available I'd have bought it already.
What's more, I'm more than willing to pay 9,99 E for an album in the French store that, if it were offered in the US store, would customarily cost me only $9.99. Last time I looked 1 E = $1.19 or so.
So, in other words, I'm being denied the opportunity to overpay for an album.
Makes perfect sense to me.

  • Purchasing music from a non-UK iTunes store

    I am unable to currently purchase music from a non-UK iTunes store, is there any way to circumvent this restriction??
    Thank you.

    No, you can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that what you want to buy is added it the UK store, but ultimately it's the record companies that will have to grant Apple license to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Is what you want to buy available on other download sites e.g. Amazon, HMV etc ?

  • Can i transfer itunes purchase from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

    can i transfer itunes purchases from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

    No, all iTunes purchases will remain tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be transferred to a different account (nor can accounts be merged).

  • Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

    Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

    Yes. Just copy the purchase to the user account/computer and drag it into the iTunes window or use the Add to Library command. If iTunes isn't authorized to the iTunes Store account the purchase was made through, you'll just have to authorize that system.
    Regards.

  • HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

    Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

    Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
    If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

  • Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users

    Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users

    You can share them this way:
    Suppose you and the person you're trying to share with (I'll call her Jane) have two separate computers with two separate Apple IDs.  Each of those two computers have a current version of iTunes.
    You could copy your book from your version of iTunes over to Jane's.  How you do that depends on what types of computers you have, etc.
    So now your book is sitting in Jane's iTunes.  But you own the book, so Jane cannot access it.  What you have to do, then, is authorize Jane to access the book you bought.
    You do that on Jane's computer in iTunes by going to Store > Authorize This Computer in iTunes' menu.  Enter your Apple ID and password there.
    Then once Jane syncs her iPad to her iTunes, she will have access to your book.

    This app does not check for the existence of a purchase receipt, which can prevent In-App Purchases from being correctly processed.
    We recommend implementing receipt validation to resolve this issue.
    At a minimum, the app will need to check for the existence of an App Store receipt and exit at launch with a status of 173 if it does not exist.
    Any help ?
    Thanks in Advance.
