Can I change the store's language? (it takes from credit card country)

Hi All
I'm living in the Netherlands with a Dutch credit card but want to use the iTunes store in English.
The store seems to set the language for your account based on your country of residence and clearly this needs to be right if you use a credit card (so it's authorised correctly). And it's worse - Apps for my iPad will be in Dutch!
My question is - can you change the language used in your account and the store?
I'm going to guess it's a No to this question so suspect I have to do something like setup a new account with a fictitious English address. So my next question is - if I use PayPal or enter my credit card details for each transaction, will this give the same problem?
Thanks in advance to any response!

If you wish to run iTunes in a language that is not the default for the country that you are living in (and therefore paying from), the iTunes helpdesk point to this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242 . This article indicates that the iTunes store should pick up the language you have assigned to your MAC, however this is incorrect. iTunes picks up the language from the country you designate you are paying from.
You can change the country by using the flag button at the extreme bottom of the iTunes home page, however this will allow you to find the things you want, but you must change it back to actually purchase the content.
If you think, as I do, that this is a fault with their system, the ONLY option you have is to complain to their helpdesk, email address [email protected] If you ask to have the e-mail referred to Ashley, maybe the sheer weight of complaints will get this sorted.

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

  • How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

    How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive?  It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system.  That was my last computer!!
    Thanks,

    That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
    You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

  • Can I change the fisheye look through premiere pro, from a GoPro camera?

    Can I change the fisheye look through premiere pro, from a GoPro camera?

    That depends, at least in part, on which platform you're. [That and the exact version of Premiere Pro you have are two data points that you should always include...]
    On Windows, Premiere has an effect called Lens Distortion.  I'm not sure what your options are on Mac. If someone else doesn't come along with suggestions for Mac, then Googling "'Premiere Pro" mac fisheye GoPro" yields some promising hits.

  • How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?

    How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?
    We have a legacy app that used drive letter 'Q' already, now the newer machines are coming in with 'Q' preassigned to Microsoft Office Click to Run, and it is causing problems.  There has to be a way to change the drive letter assignment to some
    other letter besides 'Q' 

    Hi,
    Office that is delivered by Click-to-Run is installed on the Q drive, this cannot be changed.
    To work around this problem, uninstall the Click-to-Run version of Office and then install with the traditional MSI-based installation.
    To switch to using an MSI-based Office edition, you can learn something useful from this link below:

    It always asking my credit card lnformation to download, but the apps I will download are free.
    I don't know how it will work again.
    Help me please!
    Thank you.

    You need to have a payment method on file. If the apps are free you will not be charged anything. Either enter your credit card information or purchase and enter an iTunes gift card.

  • How can I change the ORDER of languages in the settings?

    If German is not supported in Apps the iPhone obviously uses automatically the second language in the list of languages in the language settings. However, the second language is Chinese in my list, and I don't speak Chinese. How can I change the SECOND language into English?

    I just found the solution myself: You switch the (standard) language to English, and then you switch back to German as standard language. After this, English is listed as second language (and not Chinese any more) and is used in case German is not supported by an app.
    Very helpful, thanks for posting that!

  • HT201359 I have over $25 left in i-tunes gift cards balance yet the store keeps trying to bill a credit card. Why is it not accessing the gift card balance?

    I have over $25 left in my i-tunes account from i-tunes gift cards. However the system keeps trying to bill a credit card rather than accessing the gift card balance first.  Anyone have a similar problem or have some advice?

    Either you're trying to gift content, or the iTunes Store servers are checking the validity of your account, or there's a problem on Apple's end.

  • How can I change the input key language between different languages ?

    the language can't be changed when i press ctrl+alt

    The default keys to rotate the layout is a key combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
    It is better to disable the key sequence to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift) to avoid an unintentional switch and instead assign a specific key (Alt/Ctrl + Shift + number) to switch to the keyboard layout.
    Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

    You can also use the Language bar on the Windows Taskbar.<br />
    You can make the Language bar visible via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.

    Hola,
    I guess you'll find the relevant property in the file menu...
    To be precise:
    Menu "File" --> "Preferences..." --> "Languages" --> "Current Language"
    I know that you currently only see Spanish expressions...
    I do not talk Spanish but my dictionary says:
    Menu "Fichero" --> "Configuración..." --> "Lengua" --> "Actual Lengua"
    Hope this helps!
    Micha
    P.S.: A restart is needed after changing to the right language... this popup will looks like this: "El programa necesita reiniciarse para cambiar el idioma de los productos. ¿Quieres salir?"
