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.

    Contact iTunes Support in the country's store where you have the credit and request that your account be zero balanced. Then you should be able to change the country of your account.

  • Change country for apps and store

    I asked support for help and they were unable to help.

    If you want to change the country your iTunes Store account is in, see:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/switching-an-itunes-store-acc ount-to-a-different-country/
    You cannot, however, change the country of your apps or other content. That will all remain bound to the iTunes Store in which they were purchased, and will be unavailable for redownloading or updates once you change the country in which you have your iTunes Store account. For this reason most of us recommend that you open a new iTunes Store account in your new country rather than converting your old account.

  • I really need help to change region for app store

    I have browsed through this forum followed everything instructed, i still cant change the region for my apple ID. I have tried below for several times.
    - I have tried going to settings / itunes & appstore.
    - I clicked on apple ID account.
    - I clicked on view apple ID
    - entered my password
    - clicked on country/region
    - selected my country
    - entered the payment details (card detail used same as country selected)
    - entered the the address (card billing address)
    - put in phone number
    - clicked 'next'
    - it goes to the "itunes & app store" page on settings
    - tried downloading an app it says "Your account is mot valid for use in Malaysian store. You must switch to the U.S store before purchasing"
    Did the above steps seeral times. It goes back to the US region. Please help!
    Thanks in advance

    It makes no sense to me that her ID works in the iTunes Store but it will not work on the App Store. The same ID should work on both stores - as long as she bought the apps with the ID that she uses in iTunes.
    See what account is showing on the iPad in Settings>Store>Apple ID. If it is the wrong ID in there, tap - sign out and then sign in with the correct account.

  • Can't change country in app store due to Family Sharing error

    I want to change App store country on my iPhone 5S, iPad Air and iPhone 5 as I have relocated to a Sri Lanka from India. But it is showing error that I cannot change country because my Family sharing is on. I have turned off Family sharing in all of my devices and the main device, but still it continue to show error that Family sharing is on and I cannot change the app store country. I am geographically in the same country, which I want to update in my app store !
    Please help.

    With the apps i already have installed I can get the updates for the free ones but i cant update the ones I paid for. And now I can't even dload any new apps at all, neither free or purchase... ***.. Tried calling apple support but it just keeps ringing.. I can't wait on the phone all day!!

  • TS1702 How do you change country in App Store?

    For some reason, my App Store location switched to the u.k. How do you switch back to U.S.?

  • Can not change country in App Store

    I switched to the other country in the app store before,
    but I can't switch back to my country now.

    Easiest way, MUST use USB wire to connect to computer's iTune.
    (1) Connect your iphone/ipad to computer
    (2) Make sure you sign in  to iTune and first authorize the computer you are using [ie. Authorize This Computer].
    (3) Click Store > View My AppID > Change Country or Origin
    (4) Select the country you want, follow through all the instructions
    This way should allow you successfully change the country default on your iphone/ipad account.
    I don't know why it only works this way, but if connecting to computer's iTune will help you reduece frustrations, take some time to do it, it will save you hassles.

  • Change country on app store, what happen to my credit?

    What will happen to my credit on App store if i change from US to Swedish app store, will I loose my credit I have on my US account? (100USD from gift card) Or will it be converted to SEK and transfered to the Swedish App store?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    A lot of folks have reported that until you use up any credit on your account, that the Mac App Store won't allow you to change the country in your account information.

  • How do i change country of App Store?

    I am in Venezuela and the store i'm using is in USA. i must change it to Venezuela

    If you've moved to a different country, and if your question is really about the Mac App Store, select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then click
    Change Country or Region
    and update your billing information.

  • Need to change username for app store

    My wife has the original ipad with ios 5.0.1
    Her username works fine for the itunes store, but when I go to the app store app on the ipad to upgrade her apps, which are up to 34 upgrades, a different username comes up and no password works with it. I tried syncing signed in and not with our computer numerous times. I don't see any way to change the username of the app store app. Tried going to Apple ID 3 times to recover a password for this username, it says it sent me a e-mail and I never get one. It's a very old username of mine before you needed a email address as a username.

    It makes no sense to me that her ID works in the iTunes Store but it will not work on the App Store. The same ID should work on both stores - as long as she bought the apps with the ID that she uses in iTunes.
    See what account is showing on the iPad in Settings>Store>Apple ID. If it is the wrong ID in there, tap - sign out and then sign in with the correct account.

When I want to change country the system ask me to spend this little money, as you can image, nothing can be bought with it. Therefore I find myself in a loop. How can be reset this account? I do not loosing 0.55 Euros.
    I currently live in Chile.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Greetings

    Sorry for the above typing mistake "I do not care loosing 0.55, I just want to reset the account".

  • Changing country of app store?

    I'm setting up an IPad 2 for my Dad.
    Somehow he originally set it up for Tanzania instead of the U.S.
    Everything says U.S. now in region codes, user id, etc.
    The problem I'm having is that when I try to download certain
    Apps, I get an error message saying that the Apple ID is
    Only good in the US!?!
    Is there some setting I'm overlooking? I've tried logging out of the AppStore, and logging back in
    And rebooting the iPad, but no luck
    Thanks in advance for any help..

    Go to the featured tab of the app store. In the bottom left corner you can access his ID. Tap on the ID and then tap View Apple ID. Enter his password. Then go to Country/Region and make sure that it is set for the US.
    You can also do this in Settings>Store>Apple ID.

  • How can I change Apple ID for App Store?

    I changed my Apple ID, Itunes on my Itouch recognizes it, but the app store does not. How can I change AppleID for App Store? When I try to update my apps it asks for the password for my old Apple ID which does not exist anymore.

    Thank you for the reply. I've done that twice and have no problem getting into the ITunes store. Problem is that I have 12 apps that want to be updated. I go to App Store and slect to "update all" and first thing it does is bring up my old AppleID (no place to change it) and asks for the password for that Apple ID.
    I tried doing a sync to my computer in case that would work, but no help. I wonder if I will have to do a complete reset just to fix this???
