Cant download Lion in UAE - says my credit card not valid in the UK....??

I go to the US App store, click on the upgrade tab for Lion. It then shows me the price in UK Sterling. I complete payment detals, click continue and it tells me my credit card is not valid in the UK. Anyone know why it directs me to the UK site to purchase? I have no VPN turned on and have a UAE IP address. Thanks

Me too - I tried to start my itunes account, not to purchase but just to be able to access the web for art etc for my own albums. When I logged in to itunes store with my existing apple ID it came up with my amex card number etc already inserted from previous apple transactions, but with the security number blank. I entered that and got the same 'This card is not valid in the UK...' message - even though its already registered and accepted elsewhere in the apple empire. First contact with itunes has only produced a standard reply which does not answer my question.

  • Credit Card Not Valid in the UK

    I am trying to change my credit card details from my old AMEX card to my British Airways AMEX card. However when I enter the card details I receive and error message - saying "My Credit Card is not valid for a payment in the UK". I have ensured all my apple ID's are correct and revised my account info in ITUNES. I live in the UK - have always lived in the UK and my previous credit card was UK. I cannot understand why ITUNES won't accept my changes. I have contacted ITUNES. They removed my old credit card and after I entered my new card - it came up with the same error message. Any ideas on what I can do to sort this out.

  • How can I change my iTunes Store to the USA, so my apps will update? Dialog says my account is not valid in the Canadian store, switch to US. But it won't let me do it.

    My app updates in iPad won't install, when I hit update, it says my account is not valid in the Canadian store, and I must switch to the US store before purchasing. So, I sign out of Canadian store, and try to sign into US store, and that won't work either.
    It says my Apple ID is not valid in the US store, but it must be, because that's where I made my purchases of all those apps in the first place.
    Is it possible I am missing something here? Is this my fault? Can anybody offer a suggestion as to why I cannot sign into USA store?
    Thanks for any and all help.

    [Apologies to pdesteele for this slight OT bit, but it's all relevant to your question, I think ]
    We do have a place in the UK which we could use as an address, but for various reasons it gets a bit complex even though we still have a UK bank account. We moved to France when there were no iDevices and apps around, just bought the occasional music, so it wasn't a problem. Funny thing is I can't even download the free UK bank app because it's not available in the French store .
    I'll live with the problem for now as we plan to move back to the UK in a year or so - we miss the weather .

    Hello uriah12345,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you dont want to use a credit card with the Apple ID and it wont let you. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
