Can't register with itunes with a credit card from outside the USA

Who do I write to, to complain that because I don't live in one of
the countries listed in the drop down list on the Itunes store, I
cannot register my credit card OR purchase from Itunes ?
I am trying to register to buy online with ITUNES. However the
system does not seem to allow me to change the country from the
United States to Argentina where I live and where my Bank of America credit card is registered !
Come on guys, I thought Apple was better than this and recognised
that there is a world outside Bill Gates' USA ! How can I change the
country ?

Unfortunately, if your country doesn't have it's own store, you are out of luck. Content providers such as record companies require a CC with a billing address from the country that you use. The content providers require this rule as they do not care for cross-border sales, so it really is not Apple's fault.

  • Im having issues with itunes reading my credit card information

    so just recently got a new card, same number just different expertion date and security code i changed my info as soon as i got the card. and i was purchasing music just fine until yesterday it said my security code was invalid now i cant even download free apps or purchase them

    These are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    You are sure that your card details were taken from your iTunes account ?
    If your account has been compromised then remove your card from your account, change your password, and contact iTunes Support : 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
    Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
    If it's not on your account then contact your card issuer and get the card cancelled and replaced

  • Why can't I register for itunes U without giving card details if the content is free?

    Why do Apple need to keep my credit card details when I'm not purchasing anything?
    I feel this is open to theft and abuse

    The iTunes Store by demand of the content owners requires confirmation of your locality, something which is probably only possible by requiring a payment method issued in your country.  Since iTunes U isn't a separate store from the rest of the iTunes Store, it's bound by the same mechanism even though you aren't buying anything.
    You can either provide a credit card or prepaid iTunes cards, or you can set up an account by downloading a free app via the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.

  • I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do that?

    I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do this?

    Any purchases made from the iTunes Store, on your computer, AppleTV, or iOS device, use the same billing information that is associated with your account. To pay with a different credit card, log in to your account and change the payment options associated with your account. If you want to use different payment options on different devices, you may want to consider utilizing multiple iTunes accounts, each with its own payment options.

  • I owe 27 dollars on itunes and i got a 25 dollar itunes card if i were to update my account with my new credit card would the 27 dollars be deducted from my credit card or would the itunes gift card pay for the 25 and my card would pay for the $2 left.

    Generaly, if you have an iTunes card and a valid credit card, you have the option of charging your purchases to eiher one or the other?  By default, it goes to your iTunes card, but you can override that.

    Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs fine, iPod found, no iPhone 5 b/c no AMDS.  Error "insufficient premissions to install AMDS" Tried numerous uninstall / reinstall combinations, installed iTunes as administrator, etc.  Somethings not right. What the Heck ?

    See the following article for dealing with Apple Mobile Device Services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    Downloading and installing iTunes will not fix this problem. If the other troubleshooting steps do not work, go to the Control Panel and uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, Quicktime and any other Apple program that might be present. Reboot your computer, then download and install the latest version of iTunes.

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!
