Changing App Store Country on iPhone 3 (iOS 4.2.1), no computer

An iPhone 3 in Italy has ended up with the Dutch App Store (in Dutch, which we don't understand), instead of the Italian one -- how do we switch it using only the iPhone -- there is no computer available?
Long story short:  Gave my mother in law, in Italy, our old iPhone 3.  We needed to activate with her Italian SIM, so we bowered a guest's Macbook (the guest is a Dutch resident and was presumably logged into a Dutch iTunes account and has now leftt) to activated (Backup/Restore settings) -- the activation itself worked fine.
Unfortunately I am now back in the US, so I have to remote debug this for a very technically challenged person.  My guess is that when the activation happened, some App Store setting got set to the Netherlands -- is it as simple as making sure she is logged in with an Italian (address/credit card) Apple ID?
(Re-activating it with anaother, Italian based computer/iTunes is not an option, because beleive it or not, on the tiny island she lives on, no such thing exists: certainly not with iTunes installed and a working interenet connection.)

Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region...change here.

    Changing App Store Location
    NOTE: Your App Store account location, your iTunes account location, and your Apple account location are all the same thing. In other words, if you change the location of one of these accounts, the change will be applied to all accounts (actually it'll be applied to just ONE account, since they're the same and all, but you know what I mean).
    STEP 1 - Open the App Store app.
    STEP 2 - Select the "Featured" tab at the bottom.
    STEP 3 - Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Apple ID: [email protected]".
    STEP 4 - Select "View Apple ID".
    STEP 5 - Insert your password and select "OK".
    STEP 6 - Select "Country/Region".
    STEP 7 - Select "Change Country or Region".
    STEP 8 - Select your desired country from the list. NOTE: If your country is not listed alphabetically, scroll to the bottom of the list where you'll find it written in original form (for example, Japan is listed at the bottom as "日本"). Then click "Done" and "Next".
    Finally, input your billing information. If you do not have a credit card connected to a bank account created in the country you selected, IT'S OK! Just select none in the credit card section. As long as you have a workable address, you're good to go.
    *****As of this post, Apple has set no limit to the number of times you can switch your account back and forth between countries.*****

    See this answer by Demo:
    You can only purchase for the country in which you live and you must have a credit in that country that is registered to a valid address in the country.
    Go the the App Store and tap on the Featured tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and tap on your Apple ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to Country/Region to change the store

    How do I switch the App store

    Change your iTunes/App Store country:
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    You can not change countries if you have a credit. You will need to contact iTunes Store support to have the credit cleared first.

  • HT2731 Change app store country on ipad2

    How can I change country for my app store??

    Go to the Featured Tab in the App Store that you're in and scroll to the bottom of the page. Press on your Apple ID and a window appears (You may need to sign-in again at this stage.) Select  'View Apple id'. Select that and you'll go to your account details, where you can change your country/region.
    I had the same problem when I changed to iOS 6.  You'd have thought that Apple would have warned us!

  • App Store - blank screen (iphone 5S, ios 8)

    I get blank screens for all tabs in the App Store except for the Updates Tab.  I've seen some similar discussions around this in the forum, but nothing specific and recent to what I'm experiencing.  My phone is a "work" phone and is configured with my company's specific settings, so I'm not sure if this a possible cause or not (with respect to security, firewalls, etc.).  I can't imagine it would be since I'm using my Apple account, but stranger things have happened.  Also, I just recently (last week) received this phone and the App Store was working just fine up until a couple days ago.  As far as I can tell, nothing changed between then and now.
    Iphone 5S
    IOS 8.1.3
    Anyways, looking to see if there's anyone out there who has seen this and knows of a solution.  Thanks,

    My iPhone 5c with iOS 8.1.3 is also demonstrating this problem, as at Feb 7, 2015
    However, prior to this, noticed that Updates to installed Apps needed 2 or 3 attempts, so I knew something was up...
    So, surfed the web and found some "solutions", but they did not fix the problem;
    1.  Turn off iAds - no good
    2.  Advance date 1 year, hard-reset & try again - no good
    Went to an Apple store, they checked a few things, all OK so we tried a Reset > Network Settings - no good
    My phone also is "provisioned" by my company, where they suggested the profile could be the problem (but I couldn't see how).
    So, made a Genius Bar appointment for Feb 26, I'll update here with the outcome...
    One thing, though, the problem seemed to occur after I connected my phone to my work PC and removed some Apps from my library.  iTunes on the MS-Windows PC hung/behaved strangely as well...  Not sure if it is related.

  • Change app store country

    I have an iPhone 4 16gb which came from Australia, it is now going to be used permanantly in the UK. Will this affect the apps i can find on the app store? If so can i change settings somewhere to get it to search UK apps?
    For instance i wish to use my networks account app (Three UK) which i have downloaded from the app store but it does not seem to work. I have spoken to Three UK and they said although it is an iPhone from Three Australia it will not use the same app, and will not recognise my number. But when i open the app it says 'three.co.uk' on the loading screen? Basically it is ment to detect my number and tell me my account balance etc but tells me it is not connected to the Three network.

    Can nobody help at all?
