Change country - update applications

The story,
I have an itunes account since ever...
I used to live in Switzerland and used my account with location set to Switzerland and swiss credit card to buy applications for my ipod touch.
Since i moved to Japan i changed location to Japan and entered my JP credit card in order to access the japanese store.
Problem
in the application section many updates appear but if i try to update the apps i got a message saying that there are no updates for my account.
Any ideas?

I guess, not all apps sold in the "Swiss Store" are sold in "Japanese Store" . So if you're logged into your account in Japan you can only update apps you bought with your new account settings.
Did you check your account settings and purchase history in itunes?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.

Hello there muhamadamirul,
To change the region your Apple ID is using use these instructions.
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.

All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
did you use a different id to buy the app?
you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id.

Updating apps after changing country & iTunes store

Ive change country and updated my iTunes store account. Since then I've learnt that my apps are linked to the address of the iTunes account where they were brought. ITunes tells me I have apps that need to be updated, but when I ask it to show me these apps, I get nothing, as the apps to be updated dont match to the account I'm now using.
The way I've managed to work around this is to transfer all my brought apps onto my iPad, and ask it to show me apps to be updated, which it happily does. I update all the apps with the iPad and then sync these pack to my Mac and now these apps have been updated to belong to my new iTunes account! Any updates to these apps can be done with iTunes from now on.
My problem lies with the amount of apps I've brought over the last couple of years. I've updated the app's address using the above method for 90% of my apps, and now have the odd app that requires this lengthy process to catch the remaing 10%.
My question is - is there a quicker way to find out which of my apps belong to my old iTunes store account without having to migrate back to my old iTunes store and changing bank account details?
Thanks.

You'll have to switch back to the French store to update those apps.

Changing country. Can't update apps via iTunes

Have strange issue with my iTunes. After changing country form Russia to Ukraine my iTunes only searches and displays the number of updates. But when I want to update it and clicking on "update apps" iTunes says "No updates are currently available. To check for updates for another APPLE ID, sign in whit that Apple ID."
But at the same time my iPhone successfully searches and updates all apps for the same Apple ID, and then transfers it while sync with iTunes. What is the problem with my iTunes?

The solution:
Delete all your apps in itunes you have purchased in previous country
Reinstall it

HT5621 We have 2 I phones and One Pad. We try to update applications and his phone never accepts the password for his Apple ID. We backup to same computer. He does what Apple recommends to change his password but it never works . Help

We have 2 I phones and 1 I-pad we try to update on the same Windows 7 computer. The Apple ID continually prevents one I phone user to update applications. How do we share one
Computer?

Did he have find my iPhone enabled under that iCloud account? If so, add the account back to his phone. Then in the iCloud account settings, disable find my iPhone first (you will be prompted for your password), then remove the account.
Now you can create or add a new iCloud account to it using his own AppleID.
Alternatively, you could log in to your www.icloud.com account in a web browser. Using the find my iPhone app there, remove his iPhone from your list of associated devices (he will have to power his iPhone off for you to do that).
After his iPhone is set up for his own iCloud account, on your iPhone, go to
settings->iCoud->Storage & Backup->Manage Storage and delete his iPhone's backup file to make more room on your own iCloud storage account.

Changing country in a while

Hello,
I am changing country and bank accounts in a couple of months permanently. Is there any specific action I must do in order to avoid any kind of troubles during purchased applications with credit card from my current country? I am now located in Czech Republic and I'm moving back to Greece in June/July. I have seen many topics online on the subject but most of them got me worried and a little bit confused.
I have purchased applications from the OSX AppStore and the iOS Appstore (iPhone/iPad) with this credit card the last 3 years. Will these apps be able to update, etc?
Thanks

You should be able to update them if they are also sold in the store for the country to which you are moving.

Changing country - changing iTunes account

I need help to make sure which direction I should take.
I live in Sweden and move to the UK. I have an iTunes account with credit card, which I would like to change to a UK account in order to keep my Apple ID and not to create a new one.
I learned that it is easy to change country / address / credit card info in iTunes, but I am afraid that I will not see my purchase history and I will not be able to update my apps later on.
Is there any way to fix it? Or I have to create a new account in the UK...
Any idea?
Thanks

I wrote to iTunes store support about just such an issue, and this was the response:
1) If you have any store credit, you will need to use the credit before you can change countries in your account.
2) You will need to download all purchased content before changing countries. In addition, rented items must be past their 30 day expiration in order to change countries. For more information on rentals, please visit:
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
3) You will be asked to provide a payment method, such as a credit card or debit card associated with a valid billing address in the new country. An iTunes Store Gift Card issued in the new country is also an acceptable payment method. You will not be able to change your account's country without providing one of these methods of payment.
4) Content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific. If you wish to upgrade any of your iTunes Store content to iTunes Plus, you'll need to do so before you change the country associated with your account. The content you purchased while your account was set to the previous country will not be eligible for upgrade once you have changed countries.
5) When you change countries, you will no longer receive app update notifications on your iOS device or in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country. However, you will still be able to download those applications again for free if they are present on your new country's store (even if they are updated). You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If the app is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again for free.
