Can i buy content from another itunes store?

Hi,
I live in Canada and therefore default to the Canadian itunes store. Can i purchase items ie: TV show episodes from the US itunes store?
Thanks for any help in advance.

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.

    What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (on these forum we won't know why the message is appearing) : 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

  • Ability to buy unique local content from other iTunes stores

    Hi,
    I recently realized that iTunes store that looked modern and incredible only few years ago now does not serve my needs.
    Let me explain in details and may be this information can help Apple to improve their store and meet my needs.
    I am 44 years old.
    I was born in Moscow Russia back in 1969.  My childhood and my youth years were in Soviet Union and in Russia.
    After graduating from university my first job was in Singapore. I lived in Singapore with my family for 12 years. My two daughters were born there.
    Right now my family and I are residents of Canada.
    As you can see,  there are few significant portions of our lives bonded to different cultures.
    I believe we are not unique. The World is small. People goes to school in one country, goes to university in another, works and getting married in third and settles down and retires in fourth…
    iTunes store provides great possibility for us to download music, songs, movies… but only from the iTunes store of the country we live.
    Apple dictates what we can or can not listen and watch using iTunes by its unfair policy:
    REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THE ITUNES SERVICE
    *The iTunes Service is available to you only in Canada, 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.*
    I could understand why Apple does this. Because the same HD movies can be sold for $20 in one country and for $10 in another and Apple does not want people to switch stores and get a better deal.
    But I am talking about completely different issue here.
    Each country produces exclusive media content which is purely local.
    This could be a localized version of Disney cartoon or a song in local language.
    What I really want is to be able to download any exclusive local content from any iTunes store around the World.
    The price can be different and it could be related to where I live. That's fair.
    What is not fair is for Apple to tell me that I can not download russian movies and russian songs from a russian iTunes store because I am no longer live in Russia.
    Here is what Apple  can do to resolve this issue:
    1. Provide different audio language sound tracks for movies.
    If I am buying a Disney movie from Canadian iTunes store I would like to be able to buy it in English, French and Russian. Because my family members have different preferred language. You can charge for additional sound track a small amount, say $1.99
    I does not cost anything and no content needs to be produced. It's just the way you package it.
    2. Allow to mark iTunes content as an Exclusive local content. For instance a russian folk song or a russian documentary.
    Make a special section "Russian exclusive content"  or "Singapore exclusive content" etc
    Allow anyone in any country to buy this content.
    All this makes perfect economical sense and also fair to your customers.
    Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated.
    I hope this information is useful to improve iTunes store in future.

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
    It's not Apple's choice where to sell an item, the content providers control that. All content is licensed to Apple to sell by the content providers on a country-by-country basis, so each country has to have its own store - if the record company, film studio etc was happy for the item to be in your country's store then they will grant Apple a license to have it there. Similarly it's up to the film studio to put extra audio tracks and/or subtitles on their films.
    If there is a particular film etc that you would like to be added to your country's store then you try requesting that it be added, but utlimately it's the content provider's choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • My itouch is asking me for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let me buy anything from the iTunes store.  I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.

    My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store.  I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.  How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether?  I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

    Hi, I'm living in the US for a while but I just have french credit cards, how can I buy App from the App Store US??

    You need a payment method associated with the country you are in.  I would purchases an iTunes Gift card in the USA and use that as your payment method and then delete the card from the account.  You may also have the change the addess in your iTunes aaccount t a USA account.

  • How can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

  • Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Thank you alleycat. I have two rental movies in my iTunes library in the rentals section top left of the window that have not been played. I have home sharing turned on on both my apple TV and my Mac. Both machines are completely software updated. I can see all of my owned movies in the Computer>Library>Movies section of the menus, but neither the rentals themselves nor a rental fouler are anywhere to be found on the apple TV. I dropped by the apple store on the way home from work and they suggested that it should be working just as you described, and suggested a restore, which I've performed. Still no rentals from the Mac library are visible on the apple TV. Any ideas?

  • Can't buy any apps in iTunes store!

    Hi there,
    For the past few weeks I can't buy any apps from the iTunes store. It just says that "it's not possible to finish the purchase. To get get help contact iTunes Support on the website."
    I have no idea why this happens, I checked all my info and it's all good... I also tried to contact Apple Support, but for my country (Portugal) we can only make calls and I've been trying for a while and it's impossible to reach them... To make things even better, I'm not in Portugal at the moment, so a call is quite expensive...
    I also tried to buy apps on all sorts of devices (macbook pro, iphone 6 and ipad mini) with different accounts but all of them with the same problem...
    Does anyone have any idea about how to solve this problem?? I would really appreciate!
    Thanks,
    Ana

    You have to be in a country to use its store and it has always been that way - from the Portugal store's terms (and other countries will be the same) which you agreed to :
    O Serviço está disponível para si apenas em Portugal. Concorda em não utilizar ou tentar utilizar o Serviço fora desta localização. A iTunes poderá utilizar tecnologias para verificar o seu cumprimento desta disposição.
    Whilst you are in the Netherlands you can only use the Netherlands store
