Cannot buy songs in Japan while my credit card is not Japanese credit card.

I wanted to buy some songs in Japan iTune Store, but it forces me to input prefecture in Japan, iTune also detected that my credit card is not from Japan. Can I only buy songs in my country?
Thanks.

Can I only buy songs in my country?
You need a credit card with a Japanese billing address to purchase content from the Japanese iTunes Store.

  • How to buy songs from Japan iTunes store?

    I am currently in the US. Is it possible to buy songs from the Japan iTunes store?

    No.  The iTunes Store in a country is intended for use only by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes. E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICEonly use the US Store.

  • Cannot buy songs on itunes...can acess store, however

    I am able to get to the itunes store, but when I try to buy songs I get that squiggly grey line saying it's acessing...it never does. I am a computer novice, but can follow directions if anyone can help...thanks

    Have you ever sucessfully bought items from the itunes store before?
    If you have, its likly the store is temporarly what I call "Partly down" where you can browse it but it doesn't allow downloads to happen. This has been happening alot the past few days due to itunes updating there store and the HUGH volume of triffic where people got ipods and/or gift cards for xmas. Might try waiting til later in the day or up to 24 hours before trying again.
    If you have never been able to buy from the itunes store, it could be your antivirus/security programs blocking parts of the store.

  • Itunes opens, can download from my cds, but cannot buy songs...

    just got the new ipod shuffle, downloaded and have all my own songs from cds on it, so itunes is apparently compatible with my system (new computer, windows xp). i can do everything but buy a song! i got an itunes gift card and although the "redeem" button worked, and i was able to enter the card info, while the store shows i have $15.00 in credit to redeem, and my name is there, none of the links open at all. i was only able to open this page by copying the url from "support" at itues, it will not open there. can anyone help? thanks so much. i am such a low tech person and always will be i think but this should be easier, no?!
    :o)

    I know this sounds stupid but I had already done that. I synced using the manual instructions (both with USB lead and wifi) and then searched in video and music tabs for files. Nothing there. My PC shows the files are on the iPad (under devices/iPad on menu) but I can't find them anywhere. Neither can I find anything in the manual to suggest where else they could be.

  • Cannot buy from iTunes Japan..

    There is a brand new album I want to buy, but iTunes will not let me do it.. can't seem to find the link to complain to Apple about it either- if I can use my Visa card in Jp with no problem, why does iTunes say my card is invalid there, makes no sense..

    Might make sense if there was any chance of that cd ever coming out in any other country- which there isn't..
    Also, they should make that clear in the error message, instead of merely saying my credit card is invalid.
    I find it pretty hard to believe that I am willing to pay for content but not allowed to..
    That said, would buying myself a gift card for that country's iTunes store work?
    It's crazy that I have to go to these lengths just to buy a few songs in another language

  • My IPOD touch was stolen last night and its not registered what if anything can i do to track it or make sure the person doesnt buy songs other than removing my debit card?

    Some one help with tips on how to deal with my ipod touch getting stolen

    If you had Find My iPod touch enabled you could track it and do a remote wipe
    I would change your iTunes accounts, remove the debit and report it to the police

  • MY ITUNES GIFT CARD DOES NOT WORK. FOR 3 DAYS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUY SONGS, AND IT DOES NOT WORK. I NEED A PHONE NUMBER TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE.

    THIS IS LIKE THE FOURTH TIME I AM WRITING ABOUT THIS. FOR THREE DAYS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUY SONGS PAYING WITH AN ITUNES GIFT CARD, I DID SIGN IN, PUT THE CODE OF THE CARD WHERE IT SAID "REDEEM", AND IN ITUNES, NEXT TO MY SIGN IN NAME, APEAR THE $15. OF MY CARD, BUT WHEN I CLICK THE SONG I WANT TO BUY, IT ASK ME AGAIN FOR MY PASSWORD, THEN FOR A SECURITY QUESTIONS WHICH I DON'T KNOW, IS EITHER THAT OF ASK MY TO UPDATE MY CREDIT CARD INFO, "BUT" I'M NOT PAYING WITH MY CREDIT CARD.
    PLEASE, HOW CAN I BUY THE SONGS USING MY ITUNES GIFT CARD PLAIN AND EASY??????
    I NEED A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL SOMEONE IN APPLE/ITUNES WHO REALLY KNOW HOW TO DO THIS,.
    I AM WRITING FROM MASSACHUSETTS.
    THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!

    (Typing all in capitals is considered shouting, makes posts difficult to read and may mean that people are less likely to reply.)
    There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
    If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions then you can get them reset : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you 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

  • Buying song in store of another country

    Hi,
    So I've been wanting to buy Korean songs that ar not in the US store, but are available for purchasing in another country's store, but I can't have an account in that store because I don't live in that country. Is there a way around this?
    Thanks!

    You cannot buy songs which arent licenced for the country you are in. The only way round this would to use an internet proxy based in korea but i'm not sure how advanced you are. A simple google search will be able to help you most in this case. Otherwise I see no other way round it.
    Regards,
    Ryan

  • I cannot BUY music

    i can access the music store, but i cannot buy music... it says "the store is not available for short time. try later". this is happening for two weeks now. when i try it 20 times maybe i get through.
    does anybody know why?

    If you are in Kuwait then you can only buy/download content from the Kuwait iTunes store - the terms of use of the stores state that you cannot use another country's store. As the Kuwait store only has apps, podcasts, iTunes U, and free books (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599) then unfortunately they are the only content types that you can get from Apple - Apple can only sell what the copyrightholders/distributors (and/or a country's laws) allow to them sell in each country

  • If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

    If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
    Cheers.

    You canot easily change your country settings.  The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
