Credit card & app store country. also debit card...

Does from which country's app store one can purchase from depend on where the credit card belongs to? If I want to be able to download from other (or all) stores what type of credit card will I need? Currently I'm allowed to make purchase only from the Indian store.
Also, are debit cards allowed?

I have a similar problem. I am English but have live in Italy and the only credit card I have is a british one. I only have access to the English app store so am unable to download any app which is only on the british version even if they are free. It says that my credit card is not valid in Italy, obviously that is not true as my card works all over the world! I hope that apple does something about this as it is mad to think I must apply for an Italian credit card just to download free apps!!

    I can't get any of these, it's impossible for me to.
    HELP PLEASE.

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • HT4623 App Store country ...

    I can't get any thing from App Store because it ask me to change the App Store country ... How I would do that ?

    In the App Store on your iDevice, go to the Featured tab, scroll right down to the bottom, and click where your Apple ID is shown.  A window will pop up, select the 'View Apple ID' option. Now, you'll see an option to change country.

  • Impossible Buying Credit on App Store

    Is it just me, or are other people terribly annoyed with how difficult it is to purchase App Store/iTunes credit via the App Store app on the iPod Touch/iPhone?
    1. Ideally, first what I would like to do is simply "buy credit". I like having credit on the store so if I see an App I want to buy, I have a pool of credit available to buy that app. I would like to go to a section of the App Store app and say "buy credit" and enter my credit card/debit card number to do a once-and-done purchase of credit. I don't want to have to go through the hassle of driving to a store to buy an iTunes gift card. I just want to do it online. But nowhere does it let you do this, either on the App Store app or on iTunes itself on my computer. I did not want to tie a credit card to my account; I wanted to have "credit" on the store.
    2. Since #1 does not work, I tried a second option, which I really did not want to do but tried anyway. I enter a credit card number to tie it to my account. In essence, I gave in and tried to do it their way. But that didn't work either. It won't accept the 3-digit number I am trying to enter from the back of my debit card. It fails, both on iTunes and on the App Store app. Grrrrrr.....
    3. So now I go to the store and buy a gift card (which I have done in the past but find inconvenient and wasteful to the environment). But I do it on the way to work, where I do NOT have iTunes installed on my computer. I want to be able to enter the gift card number via my iPod...such as through the App Store app. But **** it, it is like pulling teeth to figure out how to do this. Is it impossible to redeem credit through the App Store app? Is it only possible to do this on iTunes.
    I love Apple, the Mac and the iPod to death, but this is the most annoying thing in the world. Why can't Apple make it 500% easier to buy App Store credit?

    Thanks. However, those have nothing to do with any laws.
    Apple can choose to do business as it sees fit but there is no law that prohibits this. It is disappointing that they would hide behind the government's skirt and try to assign blame elsewhere.
    This is from the document that I followed when creating the account.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card
    To create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card please follow the steps below. In order to create an account without a credit card, you must make sure you are in the App Store, not the iTunes Store.
    When you follow this, you have option to choose 'None', even in Canada. This document is new. It was published in September 2009, after those terms that you quote were updated.
    FWIW, when you set up the account, it accepts the gift card number and creates the account with the appropriate credits. When you attempt to purchase the app, it loops you back without explanation. It is very frustrating. Given how much the company likes to use the App Store in their marketing approach, it would be worth some effort to be clear on this.
    Regarding the terms, I have read them (the account creation terms) but not since they were most recently updated. It isn't possible to read them at the time of account creation because you will be timed out before you could complete your reading (which happened the first time). As per my text editor, there are over 10000 words in that document. There is no 'changes since we updated this' section to make it simple.
    Remember also that the account creation page is specific to Canada. There are multiple instances where the system tells you that you can't do that from there. Why not this? Apple could have made this easy. It is very weak to justify poor design and disregard by claiming something is in the terms somewhere (after claiming it's the law). Of course, it also says nothing on the gift card itself.
    All in all, this has been a dismal and frustrating experience that could have been prevented by simply stating this up front.

  • Apple ID and App Store country problem.

    Hi, I am having issues, having created a French Apple ID I cannot download apps that I want off the AppStore because they are in the US AppStore. I would like to change the country linked to my Apple ID and switch my Apple ID to a US one. I was wondering if that was possible without creating a new account (which would totally suck). And I just don't get why Apple does this kind of "zoning" thing with the Apple IDs. I mean I'm not even allowed to download series and movies in English, I would have to watch the French version, that *****! Also, as I may move to the US for school soon I would like to be able to use the US AppStore normally too. All of this applies to iTunes and the AppStore for Mac and for iPhone. Thanks to all for your help and information.

    You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( as proven by the valid billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
