Change country for apple id

How do I change the country associated with my AppleID ?

If you need to update your country and billing address on your account then you should be able to do it directly on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tapping on 'view apple id' on the popup - you should then be able to update your payment method (you can't use a credit card issued by a bank in a different country), your region, and your billing address.
Or you can do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes

Changed country on Apple ID, now unable to buy from App Store!

Hi all,
As many other users, I was using multiple Apple IDs for a long time, confused about which on to use when and so on.
I decided to tidy myself up, by focusing on one Apple ID and to use for all programs, and updating my correct address and facts and so on.
When I first created this Apple ID I lived in Hong Kong, and now I wanted to change the address to my Swedish one.
After doing so, the country is changed when I log in to my Apple ID, but not when I try to use App Store. It still recommends me the Hong Kongese software and apps on hot lists and top lists.
Worse still, I have to put in my payment info again. When entering the same Visa card as I used before, App Store will say:
The payment card you entered is not valid in Hong Kong. Please provide a valid payment card for Hong Kong.
Hence, by changing country for my Apple ID, I am effectively banned from using both App Store and iTunes Store.
How is this? Any thoughts on what to do?
(It was over 24 hours since I changed the information, so it should have been registred/updated by now)

Thanks a lot. I didn't know where to change this info, and found it to be in App Store --> Store --> View my account.
It can not be done by logging in at one's Apple ID in a web browser, which is a bit strange.

Change country - same Apple ID

There are four things that I do not understand about the problems faced when changing countries (France to the UK in my case) with the same Apple ID.
1. I understand from this site and others that I am obliged to repurchase my apps.
Why? - when I move, I don't leave everything behind (furniture etc) and repurchase?
2. I can view all my previous purchases in the iTunes Store for my iOS devices: when updates are downloaded, I notice the purchase date changes to the update date. So it seems that I CAN take my apps with me after all (... though I assume if I were to delete one of them I would have to repurchase? Is that how it works?)
3. The above does not apply to the Mac App Store: only purchases made AFTER I changed countries show up.
4. In the Mac App Store, older apps not in my purchase list sometimes won't update: my Mac says that an update is available but the 'install' it is greyed out. But other older apps update just fine.
I do not understand what is going on and would appreciate some advice, please:
A. why is there no general refund policy if the apps won't update when I change country? Do I have to contact each app provider and ask them for a refund in turn?
B. does anyone know which apps upgrade OK and which ones don't under the cirtcumstances described? - is there any general rule to tell me?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nick

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.

I need to change my email address and password for Apple TV. What's the secret?

What password? If you are referring to Apple ID you can't change that on Apple TV, it would need to be done via iTunes.

Hi there
My good old apple id was created when I lived in denmark. Now I live in greece. How do I change my account info? There is no option for changing the country. Only address change inside the current country

Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

HT4484 Changing country in apple account

When I created my apple account a few years ago, the country was set to India.
But now I have moved to the US and need to change the credit card, address info etc. to United States.
How can I do that?

Before you start on that, you'll have to deplete the store credit if you have any.

Changing country for App store use

I won my ipad while living in Malaysia. I now live back in the UK. I have spent hours trying to change to the UK app store with no success. For example, I want the Google Earth app which is not available in the MY store, but when trying to get it in the UK store I am told that my apple id is only valid for purchases in the MY store. I have always used a uk debit card and have changed my MY address to my UK address but the drop down box where you select 'county' still only allows for MY states. I change the little flag at the bottom of the page but it just switches back. I have tried switching on and off after signing out of the store. I am defeated at every turn.
I need very simple, fool proof instructions. Can anyone help please?

To switch your country to Germany, you would also need to qualify with residency in Germany. You would need a credit card issued by a German bank with a verifiable German billing address. Or to redeem iTunes Gift cards from Germany.
Otherwise as stated, you can only use the store for China.
