Can I purchase music from another country?

I want to purchase the track "Empires" by a British artist named Lamya.  She passed away and it is a very good song.  I can see that the song is for sale on the US iTunes site but it says I cannot purchase it because I am in Canada. How can I access it?  I don't understand why there is a restriction for this.  If I went to the UK and bought the CD there, I could bring it back to Canada and it wouldn't be a problem.  If I bring my laptop to the US and purchased it while in the US, would I be able to keep it on my laptop, iphone when I returned to Canada? 

You can't - the Terms of Use of the stores state that you can only buy from the country that you are in (e.g. due to licensing/distribution terms etc)

    For example I'm from Canada and I wanted to purchase music only available from itunes in England.
    itunes will not let me buy music only available in other countries.
    Is there a way around this? can I change my profile somehow?
    I really wanted to get the Nicola Roberts album.
    Thank you

  • Purchasing Music from another Country Store

    Hi,
    I dislike the fact that I can't get music from other store than the one from my country. As an example, on the USA store, there is much more albums from internationnal artists than on the Canadian store. That's a bit annoying. Some older albums that I can preview, but I can't buy.
    Thanks.

    Just go to the store's website and buy tracks the normal way. Almost all online music download stores will sell you music no matter where you live. The only exceptions are the stores that sell major label music, e.g. the iTunes Store and Amazon, which restrict by country of residence.
    If I got into it would it allow me to purchase music and will it play in the US.
    Make sure the music you are buying is in MP3 format. MP3 is a universal format and plays the same anywhere.

  • Can I FaceTime someone from another country without being charged with international fees?

    Can I FaceTime someone from another country without being charged with international fees?

    here is how you actually do it put your phone in air plane mode you should see it when you open the settings app then go to wifi and turn it on this will let you use Imessage to text the person for free if they have a iPhone the same should apply for face time calling but since currently FaceTime can only be done over wifi it shouldn't charge you but the method above is what many would call a precaution ether way it should connect last resort download Skype face time app from app store setup account with both devices and you can chat over 3G or wifi without getting charged also enables connection for FaceTime to ios to android just in case any reader would like to connect to an android user that has a front facing camera.

    You'll want to enable Manually Manage Music and Videos. Once you do that you'll be able to drag and drop the music from the computer to the iPod.

  • Can I purchase songs from many country iTunes Stores ?

    If I want to purchase songs from diffrent country's stores,can I do that? And if I can, can I play it on my iTunes and/or my iPod?

    Unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
    In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have 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.

  • Getting Music from Another Country

    Im a big fan of japanese rock and other music but it wont let me purchase music under the japanese music store. Can anyone tell me how to do this or if it is possible.

    Expanding a bit, in order to buy from another country's iTunes Music Store, you must have 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, BTW, 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.

  • Can I purchase music from Costa Rica?

    I will be living in Costa Rica for 6 months and when I was there last year, I believe I had heard that someone was not able to purchase music from the iTunes music store. Is this the case?
    Does anyone know whether it is possible to fully use the iTunes Store from Costa Rica?
    Thanks.

    Thank you. Just to confirm, if I do not have a credit card on file with a billing address in Costa Rica, then I will not be able to purchase music while I am located in Costa Rica? I will have a physical/mailing address, but my credit card is mailed to my residence in Maine. Thanks.

  • Help with purchasing with from another country's Music Store

    I'm trying to buy some song from the German iTunes Music Store but iTunes won't let me because my credit card isn't a German credit card. I don't see why this is a problem because the artist and Apple are still going to get money from my purcashe, just from a different country. Any suggestions on the best way to buy a song from the German Music Store?

    its the record companies at fault companies like warner and emi in the uk dont want you to buy music from warner in the US or emi in germany as it is lost revenue to that business unit.. record companies are not benevolent suppliers of art they are capitalists and like to accrue money, the whole issue of the music lovers desire for global trading of music has long frustrated them and hence why hefty prices are paid for music imports.. this issue was what frustrated Apple's desire to produce the euro itunes store and the segmenting of the store by country was one of the things it had to do to get the labels to agree to let them have music to sell. The online music sales phenomenon has highlighted the despicable business tactics of the record labels and the EU are i believe investigating them and their shady practises....
