Can I update apps purchased in another country

Hi. I live in Japan and I've purchased the some iPhone and Mac apps in the Japanese iTunes App Store. Now I am moving to Brazil and I want to keep the same Apple user id, but my billing info will change, so I won't be able to use the Japanese iTunes store anymore. I should be able to access the Brazilian store instead, because the country of my billing info will change. Even free updates are considered "buying" so I am concerned I might not be able to update my apps because updates need to happen in the store of the country where you originally purchased the app.
Can I update in the Brazilian store an app purchased in the Japanese store? Any tips or suggestions?

I already have this mess. No you will not. Unless you change back to the country that you bought the app from. Oh, but then you run into the problem that you need a valid address and payment method from that country.
So no, if you move to another country, Apple will steal all your apps.

  • Still need a password to update apps purchased by another Family Sharing member!

    On iOS 8.1, I can enter App Store app, tap on the Purchased tab at the bottom, and then tap the upper-left corner to choose one of the members in the same Family Sharing members, then tap on the "download cloud" icon next to any apps purchased by that member. Doing so, I don't need to enter the password that Family Sharing member's Apple ID.  But, whenever apps, those purchased by other Family Sharing members, have an update, I would need to change the Apple ID to that Family Sharing member and enter the password, in order to enable the app update. Or, those apps will stay on the Updates page of the App Store app, waiting to be updated, forever. 
    How can the app update of apps purchased by other Family Sharing members be set automatic?

    No. To update apps you have to sign intot he account that purchased them.
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    Just purchase the apps with your account

  • Apple ID changed to .mac and I can't update apps purchased with original ID

    My Apple id changed from my original ID to .mac and I am not able to get updates on my iPhone apps that were purchased with the original Apple ID.
    How can I update my apps?
    I see that this question has been asked before, but I don't see the answer.
    Thank you.

  • How can i update apps purchased on an old apple id

    Ok, so for about 4 years I have been using my husbands apple id on my Mac and iPhone...now with Family Sharing I'm trying to switch both my Mac and iPhone over to my apple id.  The problem is that the apps that were bought with my husbands id will not update on either of my devices.  What's up, I thought the Family Sharing meant that I could download purchased apps from his account.  Ideas?

    You should have simply updated your AppleID rather than creating a new one.
    They won't play on my new computer, because they're not authorized to. But that old ID is connected to an email address that doesn't even exist anymore? I have no idea what the password was.

  • Can not import Apps purchased on another machine (Same iTunes Account)

    I was in the process of cleaning up my iTunes libraries and coping files between my two Macs and discovered that I can no longer import the .ipa file from one iTunes Library to the other Mac. When I try to import into iTunes, I get the error message saying: "The application could not be added to your iTunes library because it is not a valid application." With previous versions of iTunes, I have been able to copy apps between Macs. Both machines have up to date software and the same iTunes account. Both machines are authorized and work fine independently. Does anybody know of a new method of adding an iPhone/iPad application to your iTunes Library? Thanks.

    All purchases should be available.  Are you sure they were purchased under the same ID?
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You should ALWAYS have a backup copy of your purchases.
    When you bought records, you kept the records, just as you should keep the songs you downloaded.  If you throw them away with your ipod, then they are gone, just as if you threw away a record with the record player.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    It is 100% your fault if you fail to maintain a backup copy of your music.
    You will never be happy with any digital product if you fail to do the basics.

  • I have 0,3€ credits. How can remove them so that I can change to the app store of another country?

    I have 0,3€ credits. How can remove them so that I can change to the app store of another country? I need to change to the Chinese app store as the apps I am looking for can be only found there. Thanks for all answer in advance!

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to zero your account balance. Note that if you're not in China, you won't be able to use the Chinese App Store.

  • I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • Cant update apps. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it. i can download apps,music with present mac note book but not apps. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it  . i can download apps and music.  how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

    It won't recognize the password I used when buying the apps.
    Hmmm...
    That should work.  Go here to determine if there is perhaps a third Apple ID involved!  If not, perhaps your memory isn't what is used to be.  Change the password.
    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

  • How can I get a refund from another country that does not have an Apple Store?

    While going to the US for the summer, I went to the San Francisco Apple Store.
    I saw the Apple Gift Cards, and I was wondering if they would work on my Taiwan Apple ID, so I bought a $25 gift card and a 4 cards bundle pack each with $10 inside.
    But then now, coming back to Taiwan, I realised the gift cards was only valid for US users so I asked for support from Apple
    and this is what they replied:
    I understand that you are unable to redeem the gift card to your account, the card purchased in another country. I know you must be eager to get this issue resolved at the earliest. I can do my best to help you.
    Jonathan, I'm sorry to inform you that, iTunes Gift Cards are only redeemable in the iTunes Store for the country that is listed on the back of the card. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
    This did not help me at all...
    There is only resellers in Taiwan, so there is no way I could get a refund from Taiwan
    so what should I do in order to get my money back?
    Or in other ways, an exchange upon other Apple products?

    I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.
