I am currently spending my holiday in the United States of America and I want to buy some apps online but to my surprise I am being re-directed to my home country apple store where the apps are not available. My MasterCard debit card was registered.

Why can't I buy applications from apple us store except my home country apple store where these applications are unavailable?

Something that you will want to keep in mind if you use the solution the Texas Mac Man link for you. If you buy gift cards in the US they are only good in the US store. So if you have any balance left over you will not be able to use it back in your home country with your home country store.
You will still be able to use it in your US account but you cannot switch back and forth from one country store to another country store until you use the balance that is left on that gift card. Bottom line, if you set up an account and use a gift card, use it up all the way, or you will not be able to switch back to your own store when you get home. Using up a balance on a gift card is easier said than done.

Can no longer access itunes store to update apps through itunes OR on iphon

I just updated to the 2.2 software on the iphone. Ever since, any time I try to update an application (or even check for updates) I get a message saying itunes can't connect to the store, check my network connection, etc. I get the same problem if I try to check for updates directly from the iphone or from itunes on my computer. I see many people are having problems with the itunes store. I assume that since I am having the same problem on my phone and on my computer, and since so many other people are having problems, that this is some kind of problem with Apple and not with my set up. However, I have not seen anyone else mention problems connecting from their phone the way I am.
Other than upgrading to 2.2 there is nothing different about my system - accept I did also try upgrading to the newest iTunes. The problem happened with version 8 and with whatever the current version is. I am using Vista - I never had any problem like this before.
Any help or comments would be much appreciated.

I am also having this problem, i can no longer search for app's updates through the latest release of itunes 8.0.2 and also the latest iphone 3g update version 2.2 - this has been going on for about 15 hrs now. If i try to update through my iphone the the page eventually times out or comes up with "unable to connect to itunes store"., If i try through itunes itself, the windows comes up with the progress bar type thing and accessing itunes store, then after a while just comes up with "iphone sync complete, Ok to disconnect" - but i'm not syncing my iphone i'm trying to update the apps.....
Come on Apple get your act sorted out...

Apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

It's real easy to create a new one and, in fact, it's too easy. I say that because multiple IDs are a PIA. The problem is that anything obtained from the iTunes Store is PERMANENTLY associated with the ID that was used to obtain the item(s). iTunes items can not be transferred from one ID to another and IDs can not be merged.
The problem arises when you want to update an app. If you're doing it from iTunes on your computer, you must log out and back in to get to the correct ID. Then you update and log out/in again to get back to where you started. It's slightly easier if you update from the iPad/iPod device as there is no need to log out/in BUT you still need the correct password for the appropriate ID. Of course, with a disabled ID, the problem is much worse!
A replacement Apple ID makes sense ONLY if you wish to start out absolutely brand new with zero iTunes Store purchases.
If you're really butting your head aginst a wall and you're reasonably close to an Apple Store, my suggestion is that you make an appointment with the resident "Genius" and get his/her help.
One last thought... If your brother actually got a human on the phone to dispute the charges, go there and explain the problem. Of course, if Apple did not accept his explanation of what occurred, that could be the whole issue. Apple believes that money is owed on the account!

How can I edit my apple ID in the app store the enable update some applications because it not my own that is showing

It sounds like some apps were purchased using another Apple ID.
ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

That means you have to sign into/view your account and review you account and make sure you have a valid payment method specified in your account.

I coud not sign up for apple store , I can not ad my billing information,what is the iTunes Gift ?

By 'could not sign up' and 'can not add my billing information' you mean ... ? Did you get any error messages ?
iTunes gift cards are an alternative way of paying for content from the store. They are not available in all countries and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue) - so they may not be available where you are, so you may not be able to fill that field in.

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
Hope that helps...
If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

You need an iTunes card.
You can setup an account without a credit card if that helps.

I found this in the iTunes help menu.
Redeem an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or Gift Card
If you received an iTunes Store allowance, gift certificate, iTunes Gift Card, or promotional code, you can use it to buy songs, videos, or audiobooks from the iTunes Store.
You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
Before redeeming anything, make sure you are signed into the iTunes Store (choose Store > Sign In, or select Sign In from the navigation bar at the top of the iTunes Store window):
I don't see any mention of App Store cards.

I am volunteering in Haiti, when I try to update apps, says I am in the Vietnamese store. I went to settings for my apple id, which still list USA? How do I switch stores?

I am volunteering in Haiti, when I try to update apps, says I am in the Vietnamese store. I went to settings for my apple id, which still list USA? How do I switch stores, when it appears I am in the US store?

If you have Location Services turned on turn this off, then follow steps below:
Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Your_Apple_ID>View Apple ID
When you tap your Apple ID and select View Apple ID you'll need to enter your password, once done you can change the Apple Store.
