Changing country for TV downloads

I live in Germany. My AppleID/iTunes Store account is a German one.
I just bought an AppleTV here in Germany. I was not altogether surprised that it only lets me download German-language films, because of the above account setup.
If I change the country of my iTunes Store Account to the US (which I can do because I also have a US address and US credit card), am I right in thinking it will also change on the AppleTV at the next Sync, and that I will then have access to all the US TV downloads?
I really hope so, because my (American) wife is already seriously unimpressed at the restriction we are currently under...
TIA
Nic

I believe so.
You can only sync a single iTunes library to AppleTV.
Remember that changing the sync library setting will wipe AppleTV clean, and probably remove any direct downloads/purchases made on AppleTV so make sure such things are backed up to iTunes and/or external drive.
You remove the existing one by removing it from Settings>Computers (it'll be the top entry), then pairing with iTunes set up for the US again.
You may not need to do that if you just login with your US store credentials in iTunes and resync, but I'm not certain as AppleTV can only handle a single iTunes Store user account for protected material (I believe you can enter credentials for more than one account in iTunes itself but this does not work with AppleTV from memory).
You'd need to enter US account credentials in AppleTV direct also if you wanted to purchase from it directly.
It might be worth you creating a new user account for your US iTunes account so as not to interfere with the one you have.
Logged in to that account you could then purchase from US Store, set the account up as the sync library and sync to AppleTV - however this user would need to be logged in to sync or stream material (that isn't synced).
Most important thing is to remember to ensure you have your files backed up if you start changing AppleTV sync library settings as it wipes to give a clean slate for the new library.

HT1918 Change Country for Apple ID

I need to change my country for my Apple ID, but I have a balance of .47 cents. It tells me I have to clear the balance before I can change the country, but I can't find a way to do this. Can't buy much for .47c! Can anyone tell me how to clear this?

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.

Scroll down to the bottom and see if there is a flag. Click on it (even if it is the UK flag) and select the appropriate country.

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.

Change country for ePrintCenter

I purchased a new HP Printer and set up a new ePrintCenter account using my old Snapfish username / pw.
It now has my location as the UK (I was living there when I created my Snapfish account)
When I go to the "choose your location" setting at the very bottom of the ePrintCenter page, it does not list the US as a valid selction. I've looked under Settings, but nothing there either. The country/region are correct on my printer. My Snapfish account is also now set the US.
Any suggestions on how to change my location to the US? There are a few apps I would like to use, but they are not valid for the US.
This question was solved.

Hello ljlacy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are looking to set your ePrintCenter to US, however it is not listing the US as a choice. This is because, in the US ePrintCenter as been changed to HP Connected.
In order for you to access these Apps you want to use a HP Connected account needs to be made, or you can upgrade your ePrintCenter account to HP Connected.
Here is some information regarding HP Connected: Migrating from HP ePrintCenter to HP Connected FAQs. Go to https://www.hpconnected.com and create an account to start using the Apps.
Cheers,

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.
Regards.

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

Why cant i change country for bvilling im in uk not usa ?

why cant i edit billing address im in uk not usa

I think this is a problem with the user object rather than the ou. Reasoning is that I can reset a password for a user in the same OU but not for another user in the same OU. Two users, same ou. I can reset one but not the other.
Effective Permissions shows I am granted permisiion to do so.
I believe the error was access denied when we tried to change the password via vbscript.
@seansobey - I applied the delegation at a ou higher in the tree. I forget how I had it apply down the tree but I confirmed that the acl is correct
and applied to the user
@Travis Vogel - It looks like the user with this problem is a part of Domain Users. I think the ACL is applied to the user because it shows in
the security window and effective permissions shows I have permission to reset the password. However, I see this other user is a part iof the builtin user group and the problematic user account is not. I may try adding the problematic user account
to that group and testing. It'll have to wait until tomorrow though.
