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......?

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'm in the US. How can I purchase from US iTune store?

I'm in the US for a holiday. How can I purchase from US iTune store without being switched to the Canada iTunes?

Sorry, but you can't, unless you have a US-issued credit card, or have a legal residence in the US and so have a valid mailing address and purchase an iTunes Music card. The record companies and other content owners will not allow Apple to sell cross-border, so Apple has to have such restrictions on who can open an account in a given country's store.

I can not purchase from the iTunes store because of the security question I am I do not know your security question and alternative mail has been hacked

You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team.

Buying from another itunes country

I'm based in the uk and i'm wanting to buy some songs but from the american itunes store, is there anyway of doing so???

The issue of cross store purchasing comes up frequently so I'll just quote one of the most complete explanations (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store you must be able to show some form of residency which would be either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address 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 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. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

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

Can I purchase from the Mac App store for another user as a gift?

Greeting Mac community. Since most of the software for Mac is now purchased online like Pages, Keynote ans Numbers, I was wondering how can I purchase those softwares listed below as a gift for another Mac user for her Ipad?

Send her a gift card: http://store.apple.com/us/personalize/itunes
It can be used for App Store and iTunes Store purchases.
Technically you cannot "give" apps, since technically, you cannot "own" them to begin with.

Can't purchase from the iTunes store - "unknown error (-450048)"

I can connect to/browse the store fine, but I get this message every time I try to purchase/pre-order something:
"We could not complete your iTunes request. An unknown error occurred (-450048)."
"There was an error in the iTune store. Please try again later."
I've used iTunes for years and years, but the last few months this keeps on happening and I've not been able to buy anything. I've checked/re-entered my credit card details, checked all my account details, my version of iTunes is up to date... I have no idea why it won't work!
Please help!

What happen when you try?

I can't purchase from the iTunes store

Any ideas? It won't let me sign into my account info either...

Okay, that's a lot to work with.
You have money?
You have entered payment information?
Is it presenting error messages you might share with us?

No.
Put it in the divorce settlement over who gets the account/purchases.

I want to change my itunes account from United Kingdom to another Country, when I try to do this I get told that i can only purchase from the UK store please help

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The payment methods that are available in your country will show on your account. If debit cards aren't available on that screen then you won't be able to use it as your payment method.

HT1924 Is there a way to purchase from another countries itunes store ( other than your home country where your registered ) ?

I am looking for a way to be able to purchase form the itunes UK store , currently I use the Australian one and tried changing my country but when I went to purchase the TV shows I wanted it said I was not authorised to use this particular itunes store? Are they not linked? Is there a way to be a more 'global ' itunes customer?
Thanks

No, you can currently only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy content 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 the content that you want to buy be added to the Australian store, but ultimately it's the content providers (in this case the TV companies) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Cannot purchase from another country's iTunes....

I know we cannot purchase from another country's iTunes, but how about if someone in that country gifted songs to us? For example, my wife here in the U.S. wants stuff from the Japanese iTunes store but can't buy it; can her sister in Japan "gift this song" to her? Thanks.

No, you can only successfully gift to people who are in the same country as yourself - the gifting may appear to go though, but your wife won't be able to redeem it
