Can I change the iTunes/App Store (country) for my Apple ID?

I will soon be moving back to the United States and would like to know if it's possible to change my Apple ID for use with the iTunes/App Store in the U.S. without losing all my purchases.

Not it it's an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address.  In that case your choices are to either create an email alias within the existing account, which delivers email to your existing iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a), or create a new iCoud account.  Note: alias addresses are permanently tied to the account that you create them in; they cannot be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account in the future.

  • Is the iTune app store down for updates?

    Is the iTunes app store down for updating apps at the present moment? Can not get app's to update in new version of 10.4 (80) that came out today!

    Clicking update on each app individually works.
    This also just started with the latest iTunes update. Itunes version 10.40 (80)
    I hade the same problem on both iMac and MacBook Pro.

  • Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

    Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
    Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
    So my options are:
    Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
    Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
    Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
    Anyone else ran into this before?
    I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
    Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should not need to verify the old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I correct the iTunes/App Store error I'm getting on my 4s, since upgrading to IOS 7?

    Since upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4s I cannot download from iTunes/App Store - I get the message "... could not be downloaded at this time.  Please try again later".  I can download via iTunes on my laptop and then transfer via iCloud no problem, but can't make purchases directly.

  • How can I change the Safari, App Store, iTunes, etc icons?

    I can change the icons on my folders and stuff, and I used LiteIcon to change the Finder, Dashboard and Trash icons but I can't change Safari icon in LiteIcon and I can't use the Get Info method either! Any help? Thank you

    For safari (for example), if its on your dock control click it and go to options > show in finder
    Control click safari there and from the drop down menu click "Get Info"
         Alternatives to this would be to hit command-i or the get info button underneath the icon
    With the window that pops up:
         Click the lock at the bottom to unlock it
         Go to the Sharing & Permission section
         Set all the users listed to "read and write"
    Now to copy the icon that you want to copy, go to the top of the get info window and click the safari icon
    to copy it push command-c
    to replace it push command-v after you have coppied another icon
    to get it back to its normal icon select the icon and push command-x
    You might have to quit and relaunch the app for it to work.

  • My new iPhone 4S can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi. Works with 3G network. How to fix this?

    My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
    I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
    When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
    I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
    I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!

    I am also having the same issue. Please help!

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • HT2731 The iTunes App Store icon has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    The icon for the iTunes Apps Store has disappeared from my iPad. How do I get it back?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't remove the App store app, you must hav moved it to a folder somewhere. Swipe the screen to the right until you get to the search screen then do a search for the app.

  • "You can't open the application App Store because it might be damaged or incomplete." Help?

    I'm not exactly sure what happened but for some reason my App Store won't open anymore. Every time I try the message "You can't open the application App Store because it might be damaged or broken" pops up. And for some reason iPhoto is completely missing from my Macbook today as well. How do I get these two back and in working condition again??

    I'm going by your profile v10.6.8
    Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
    If necessary, you can re download iPhoto.

    You need to sync the app to the iPod
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Is the app compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
    Are any Restrictions set that would prevent installing the app on your iPod? Settings>General>Restrictions
    Do any apps no sync to the iPod?
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Have you successfully synced aps to this iPod from this iTunes library before?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
