Can't change country

because a friend in belgium sent me a gift certificate with which i bought music. i live in USA. the gift certificate was an irregular amount, and i ended up with a small credit. i can't shop in the USA store without using the credit. but i can't use the credit alone b/c it is too small an amount. can't use my credit card because it is not valid in belgium! can't change country on credit card page...and the hampster wheel goes around. in 2 years i have yet to have a customer service rep. solve this problem. and i desperately want to shop, but can't! i will be so grateful fofr any ideas.

How small of a credit are you talking, here?
Why not just make a new USA account?

    You cannot change your iTunes country unless you are really moving to another country, nor can you change country association for a gift card.  Give it as a gift to a friend who lives in the country of origin for the card.

  • How can I change Country/Region when I still have store credit balance?

    I registed an iTunes account when I lived in Japan and I used Prepaid Card to redeem Japanese Yen to account (Country/Region=Japan). I have 60Yen in account now, this amount is smaller than cheepest apps (cost 85Yen).
    Right now, I came back to Vietnam and want to change Country/Region and  to continue purchase apps in Apple Store:
    - When I change Country/Region, I received error message "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.". But I couldn't spend money due to not enough money.
    - When I change Payment Type to Visa card, I received error message "You payment method is not valid in this Store. Please enter a new payment method."
    How can I change Country/Region when I still have store credit balance? Please help me solve this issue.

    You can't change your account's country when you have a balance on it. If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask if they can remove the balance for you : 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

  • Why can't change country in my account

    I have register an account for apple ID.  I changed another country to purchase some in the app store but now I can't change back the country that I registered. How to change back the country? I have tried to change it many many many times in the "setting".

    I really feel grateful for your please help.
    I just did it such as you given step.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
    Tap your ID
    Tap View Apple ID
    Enter your password
    Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store.
    Then I  key in the fully local address that I selected country, such as street, post code etc., yes it is including tel no too. For example, change to china, it is fully china local address, change to Taiwan it is local address too. But now I can't change it back, because after change all information, I fail at the last step, after tap the "next", it is doesn't has any respond, the dialog box is plain and disappear. 
    Though I have change the country not success , but the App Store has changed, it's really funny.  But  I can't purchase any from the App Store, it told me must change to the stuck country before I purchases. That's means I can't come back to my country or go any country.
    I hope u can understand what I mean.

  • TS3988 how can i change country of living

    how can i change of country of living?

    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
    You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

  • Can not change country to deliver book to.

    Hello,
    How do i change the shipping address from Canada to France for a book in Iphoto 11.
    T

    In iPhoto 11 you can set the country to order and deliver to in its preference pane. 
    However, I believe the credit card used must have a billing address in the same country as the address you want to ship to. I may be wrong here but you can try it and see if the order and shippment goes thru. Post back and let us know how it went.

  • Can't change country for account

    I recently moved from the UK, and though my cards are still attached to banks in there, they now have billing addresses in the US. So, I've dutifully gone off to my iTunes account to change the address details to my US billing address -- but it doesn't work!
    Or it doesn't work all the way .... When I go to change country, selecting the US, I follow the onscreen instructions to change my card billing addresses. But after clicking "Done", I get an error saying my account was changed while I was editing it (errrr, yeah ....) and my details could not be saved (wha ...?).
    Except some of the account details are saved: I've now got a US street address and phone number, but the town, post code, and (all importantly) country are still the old UK info. This is very interesting, but not very helpful. Nevertheless, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the account details finally switched over to my US address.
    Any thoughts? Is this some bizarre insoluble problem caused by having a UK card with a US billing address? (That would also be interesting, but very annoying!)
    Cheers,
    Carl

    A couple things I'd like to mention since last posting.
    First off, I called Apple again about my issue to see if they were getting close to fixing it. During the conversation the rep i spoke to suggested a work around. Basically, she pointed me to go back to the myinfo site and at the bottom where it says "Don't have an Apple ID?" link to click that and create a new one. So i did and set it all up as US (instead of Canada which it wasn't letting me change from). I went to iTunes and logged into the US store with my new ID and it of course pops up a window saying to verify the info and such and enter your form of payment(or select none). By doing this I was able to authenticate my iPhone and get it all up and working.
    Now my initial concern with setting up a new Apple ID was that the music I had previously purchased with my other account while living in Canada would no longer play because I'd have to authenticate the new ID. So I tested it. When you download a song with a different ID and then click play, it does ask you to authenticate but I am still able to play my older songs too. They also all sync up to the iPhone just fine and all play just fine. So right now it's my recommended work around.
    Little problem though. while I was able to make a new ID with a US address that showed up properly in iTunes, it still would not accept my credit card. My credit card is a Canadian card but I have changed it to a US billing address. iTunes, however, knows this and when you enter it in the payment options and click ok, it tells you that you must enter a valid US credit card. So all im doing now is buying iTMS gift cards with my credit card and then adding them to my new Apple ID when want to purchase something.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Can't change country in app store due to Family Sharing error

    I want to change App store country on my iPhone 5S, iPad Air and iPhone 5 as I have relocated to a Sri Lanka from India. But it is showing error that I cannot change country because my Family sharing is on.

I am geographically in the same country, which I want to update in my app store !

  • Widgets world clock can't change country when I update to Mountain Lion

    Hello everyone,
    When I update to Mountain Lion (from Lion), the widgets world clock can't change other country (the clock can't show the information button).
    Is this a bug ? Do you have the same problem ?
    My mac is Macbook Pro (2011 Later)
    Thanks

    I had the same problem. It looks I was able to fix this using the steps below:
    1. Make sure you have a current backup, such as a Time Machine backup!
    2. Go into Dashboard and close the World Clock widget(s).
    3. Rename or trash the file:
    ~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.worldclock.plist
    I'm not sure if it's needed but I also deleted:
    ~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.worldclock.plist.lockfile
    4. Open Terminal and type the following command (case-sensitive): killall Dock
    See if that works.
