Can I download my old purchases from a different country store.

I'm moving from the US to the UK. I want to know once I change stores and update my billing information would I be able to download my old purchases from the US store? I do have ITunes match if that helps.

No you won't, as well as being tied to the account, content is also tied to the country that it was downloaded in. So before you move here to the UK redownload any item that you might want and take a backup copy of them.
As far as I know you also won't be able to change countries whilst you have iTunes Match active

  • HT201272 Can I still download my previous purchase from my previous country (returning back) without repurchasing it?

    Can I still download my previous purchase from my previous country (returning back) without repurchasing it? I'm curious since my purchase of iPhoto has disappeared on my mac, will I be able to get it again without repurchasing?

    How are you trying to redownload them e.g. you are using the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes :
    If you are in a country where music can be redownloaded then that should let you redownload them from the store.
    If they redownload in the same shortened state then you can contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : 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

  • HT1751 I get an error message stating  this computer is already assigned to an Apple ID and can only download every 90 days from a different Apple ID. How do I  get by this?

    I had to get a new external hard drive and now would like to download  my previous purchases from ITunes . I get a message stating " this computer is already associated with an Apple ID - you can download  after 90 days. Please help as I have 3 apple ID and purchases on each which needs to be backed up to my new hard drive.

    Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

  • Can I purchase from another iTunes country store?

    Hi -
    Just to clarify, I'm located in Sweden and the swedish iTunes store are not that impressive (no movies, tv-series etc).
    Is there no possibility for me to purchase movies or tv-series from ex US iTunes......?
    -Bitte

    Rich asked"
    I'm confused. I live in the US. The US store does not sell what I want. The UK store does. I do not have a UK address. How do I purchase content from the UK store? I tried to set up a new account in the UK store but I have to live in the UK to do this. Why can't I purchase from any store i wish?
    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.

  • I change my itunes account from UK to China as I goes back to China, how can I download my old purchased song in UK account?

    Hi,
    I used to live in UK and purchased many songs from Itune. Now I am moving back to China and bought a new device.
    After I change my itune acc to China, I cant access my old purchase. Can you give me some advice on how to download the old songs?

    You need to change back to UK account. All purchases are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > sign out and sign in your UK Apple ID

  • How can I download previous iTunes purchases from older apple id after my Mac is associated with my current one?

    I have 4 MacBooks running MtnLion, iPad3, iPhones 2,3gs,4,and 4s,Time Capsule, and Apple TV....
    I have 2 Apple IDs [email protected], and [email protected]
    Almost all of my media is associated with gmail Apple ID. I want to retrieve my previous purchases, but don't need this Apple id aside from that.
    All of my computers and devices are associated with [email protected] id (I've set automatic downloads on all devices for [email protected])
    Now itunes will not let me download purchases I made on [email protected] for 60 days.....
    I actually wiped my 15" Mac pro, installed MtnLion and set it up with the me@gmail Apple ID (both icloud and itunes) just to get my previous itunes purchases. I downloaded about half, and then got sidetracked. Now when I go into itunes on it and try to download the rest, it says this computer is associated wth another apple id and can't download for 60 days!!!
    I tried deauthorizing, but to no end.

    Multiple people can indeed use multiple Apple IDs on the same computer in multiple user accounts as long as they do not use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-download any past purchases. However, if you'll read the KB article I posted a link to you'll see that for the purposes of those services a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days. If the OP associates their friend's computer with their Apple ID and downloads purchases from the purchase history the owner of the computer will be locked out from using iTunes Match, automatic downloads or re-downloading any past purchases.
    It's not that the friend will be unable to use iTunes at all, but what the OP wants to do will associate their friend's computer to thier Apple ID for 90 days which may cause the friend some inconvinence.

  • How can I get purchased apps from a different country store

    Hi
    When I created my Apple ID I was in italy and obviously I used an Italian store. After few years I moved to Australia and I changed the country store for the apps store. After I backup reset and restore my iphone I lost most of the application. Is not a problem because I know they are somewhere under my Apple ID but  I don't know how can I re-download them. For example "Pages" I downloaded when I use the Italian store, now I can't get it from the Australian store but even if I change store and swap to the Italian one is like it doesn't recognise I already purchased that app in past and asking me to buy it again. Please i need ur heeelp.
    Grazie :)

    If the old account still exists, switch to the French store by: Settings > iTunes and App Stores > Apple ID > View Apple ID > enter password > Coutnry/Region.
    If you have a different Apple ID in the French store, at the View Apple ID step you will have to sign out and then sign in with the French Apple ID, and then continue to change the country/region.

  • Can I download music and pictures from 2 different MacBooks onto one external hard drive?

    I have looked around for the community, but have not found an answer here.  Both my wife and I have 2 seperate MacBooks, but we wanted to put all of my pictures and music and all of her music and pictures onto one external hard drive.  I read on another board that we can, but only if we purchase a Mini.  Is it possible to do that without having to purchase a Mini?  Or is purchasing a Mini the only way to be able to do that?  Thanks in advance for any replies!

    There is no reason that you cannot use a common external HDD for your communal data.  Naturally you would have to disconnect it from one MBP and then connect it to the other when you wish to access the data or perform a download.  
    Any compatible external HDD will do, but make certain that you format it in Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Ciao.

  • I have leopard 10.5.8 can i download online snow leopard from the official apple store ?

    Hi there! I have Mac OSX 10.5.8. I really need mac osx snow leopard!!! 3 days ago a shop assistant in the offical apple shop said that i can dowload snow leopard from official apple site ? Can i? How?

    No. Snow Leopard comes on a DVD which you can buy from the Apple Online store. However, I can't find a store for Russia. Do you have access to Amazon? They're available from there also (usually). Around €30, R1250.
    The pack and front of the disc look like this -

  • Is there a way to download music I purchased in a different country?

    I was recently living in the United States, I purchases most of my music while I was there. I have now moved to a different country and bought a new Mac and iPhone, I thought I would be able to download all of my music again with no problem but it's not showing up in my purchased history. Is there a way to re-download it?

    As well as being tied to the account, all content is also tied to the country that it was downloaded in.
    You have to be in a country to use its store - unless you move back to the US and have a US billing address on your account then you won't be able to potentially redownload them.
    Have you not been keeping and maintaining a backup a copy of all your downloads/library ? Even if you hadn't moved countries you are not guaranteed to be able to redownload any item (you are only guaranteed one download of each item), any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time.

  • I can't download a previous purchase from iTunes

    I purchased an album about 6 months ago. It on my ipad but not my phone. When I go to iTunes it Sayers purchased but won't let me download it again. Any ideas? Many thanks for the help

    Unhiding it should get it to appear. Try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's taskbar and see if it shows when you re-open it (it may need 'refreshing') : from the home screen (i.e. not with the iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • How do I purchase from a different iTunes store with the same Apple ID ?

    I'm registered with the Australian iTunes store but the song I want is available only on the Norwegian iTunes store.
    Clicking the iTunes track link from the artist's website prompts me to change to the Norwegian store, but after I do that and try to download the song it tells me that the logon details are valid only for the Australian store and invites me to register for the Norwegian one.
    So, I go through the registration process for the Norwegian store only to be advised by iTunes at the last minute that "The email address you entered is already being used for an Apple Account. If it is yours, you can cancel and Sign In using that Apple Account", which of course contradicts what it told me earlier.
    iTunes tests my patience at the best of times, but this seems to be deliberately and unnecessarily complex - I have an Apple ID and they have already got my payment details so what is the problem ?

    This is crazy. So instead of the artist getting my 12.00Kr payment for the track, the only choice I have is to acquire it by unofficial means - it's not released here and probably never will be.
    Thanks for the replies.

  • How do I buy a song from a different country store? I am in US but want to buy a song that is available in UK.

    I am in US but want to buy a song that is available in UK.

    You can't buy it from the UK store (you have to be in a country and have a billing address in that country on your account to use its store), but you can try requesting that the song be added to the US store : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    But Apple won't be able to sell it there unless the rights-holder agrees to it - is it available on other music purchase sites that you have access to ?
