Changing Stores with already purchased content

Morning all.
I've recently moved from europe where I have bought content from the local itunes store.
However, I'm now stateside, and would like to continue to buy content occasionally. I can fund my itunes purchases with locally bought itunes cards, so that isn't a problem, but will itunes let me change stores in my account details and let me buy content from the US store whilst still allowing me to play content bought previously in Europe?
Cheers in advance
Paul

but will itunes let me change stores in my account details and let me buy content from the US store whilst still allowing me to play content bought previously in Europe?
Yes. Once you've purchased a song, you can play it from any computer in the world which is connected to the Internet. iTunes Plus content doesn't require the Internet connection.

Already Purchased content disappearing

Albums that I have Purchased and already played on my both Itunes and Ipod after syncing are disappearing from my library. Itunes store says they are purchased but giving me no option to re-download the content or buy it again. What do I do in this scenario to retrieve the content I purchased before?

Changing id with out losing content

I recently gave my old ipod touch to my sister.
She would like to keep a lot of my content, she already has apple id, how can we do this the easiest way?

CHANGE ID
The ID is used in the following locations and y have to change them.
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
Settings>iCloud
and Settings>iTunes and App store
You have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
If the iPod has iOS 7 then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts
If she is going to sync with another computer she will also have to do:

HELP! Problems with iTunes purchased content authorization...

I have many computers and between the wife and myself we have a lot of music. I just recently upgraded my windows partition on the Mac Pro to Windows 7 64 bit. Everything works great with the exception of iTunes. For example I will double click on a song to begin and it will tell me that my computer is not authorized to play the song... I will fill out the form with user name and password it will then access the store and tell me that the computer was already authorized (I have 3 of the 5 authorized...) However it will not let me play the song... when I click it again the same annoying dialog box pops up??
Another issue I am having is that none of the videos play... for example if I click on a video (that it actually thinks is authorized) I just get a gray box where the video is supposed to be and no audio...
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing I even tried using a restore point. Any ideas?? Thanks. Matt.

Just doublechecking, Matt. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Having troubled with already purchased ringtones not appearing in the ringtone file of itunes not able to sync into iphone4 after installing ios5

the tones show in the music library and also in the purchased section, but in the listing of tones there is nothing. After sync with the Iphone 4 they do not appear. So to look I selected on selected tones and it only shows 1 of 15. How can I fixed this? either have the ringtones back into "image of a bell" tones so they can appear on the iphone as ringtones and I can select them .

Anyone?

Wanted to buy MBP 15'' with already installed software...

Wanted to buy MBP 15'', and wonder if it's possible to order MBP at Apple store with already installed Parallel Desktop and Windows Xp Professional. Just wanted to have ready-to-use MBP. WinXp Professional - is essential for me.

From the Apple Store… no you can't. However, you might want to call them about contracting them to do it. The problem you have is that the Apple Store does not sell Windows licenses so you would need to provide it to them. Your best would be to find an Apple reseller thay'll do it for you as the Apple Store will not.

App already purchased

How can I have in App Store my already purchased and installed APP before APP Store was released (iwork 09 e Ilife 11)?
It would be useful for automatic update in App store

It is further the case that some applications show as "Installed" (but not "purchased" in the Apple Store), while others like Graphics Converter is not showed as "Installed" although I have it installed.
Would be good to know what algorithm is used, and of course the previously asked question, whether "installed" and not "purchased" apps will be updated. I guess we will find out.
Btw, when pressing "Support" in Quick Links, one end up at http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/, a link that does not exist.

HT4623 Why is it that if I synch my iPad and with my laptop the ipad still has to download purchased content although it was already downloaded to the PC?

Why is it that when I synch my iPad with itunes, the purchased content still (especially music and movies) have again to download on the iPad eventhough the content has been downloaded to itunes already?

But where are you seeing evidence of that? Explain what makes you think that they are being downloaded from iCloud? Do you see a cloud icon next to the music and movies on the iPad? That simply means that they are available in iCloud for you to download without having to go to the purchased tabs of the stores on your device if you want to download them again.
You can turn that off in Settings>iTunes and App Store>Show All>Videos>Off and Music>Off.

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
Cheers.

You canot easily change your country settings. The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

Problem with my iTunes store, cannot search, stays in one application that I already purchased. Please help!

Go to Settings, Store, Apple ID, Sign out and then sign back in again and have another go.
Also, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
