Different Selections for Different Country iTunes Stores

I really want this EP that is only in the Australian iTunes store. But, I am getting a message that says I have to have a billing address in Australia to be able to order it. Is there any way around this?

This question is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most succinct answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

    No.
    You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by valid billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
    Sorry.

  • HT1918 Can we use apple I'd to purchase from different country iTunes Store

    Hello apple friends

    You can only purchase from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it.
    If there are items that you'd like to buy which aren't currently in your country's store then you could try requesting that they be added, but ultimately it's the content provider (app developer, record company, film studio etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • How to get Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information I want to create a Paid Books Account use apple ID

    I was given this address from the Apple customer support team.
    I have an active existing iTunes store account and use the same Apple ID for signing into my iTunes Connect Account that distributes Apps.
    I have created some books using the iBook author and in order to distribute content on the iBookstore I have been told electronically that I need a new Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information valid until 2013?
    I want to create a Paid Books Account using the same email address, tax information and bank information. This has been most frustrating, as I cannot get passed the sign in section and there is no contact person I can speak to. I was of the understanding the iTunes connect account and the Developer programs which I paid good money for is all what I needed to be paid for selling iBooks on the iBookstore???
    I only have one email address and wish to also use it for the Paid Books Account. I have books ready to be exported and published.
    I am also having trouble locating and downloading iTunes Producer. I understand I need to have the Paid Books Account active to access the iTunes Producer program. Please help.
    See additional information below:
    What device did you use to connect to the store?  Mac computer
    Which operating system is installed?  Mac OS X v10.7.x
    What version of iTunes is installed on your computer?  iTunes 10.6
    Choose the iTunes Store or App Store for your country:  Other
    Please select your country:  Australia

    Hi Lrwill,
    If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
    Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
    Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
    Cheers,

  • HT204411 why cant i buy music from a different country( Canadian Store)

    why cant i buy music from a different country( Canadian Store)

    You can only buy content from your own country's store - if the music that you want isn't in your country's store then it's because the record company haven't granted Apple a license to sell it there. Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?
    You can try requesting that it be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the record company's decision : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Application error when downloaded from different country Itunes site

    Hi,
    I recently got a US gift card for the US Itunes store and downloaded an application but it won't sync (get a sync undefined error). I tried the troubleshooting directions supplied (deauthorise and re-authorize etc) but I suspect that it is becasure I now have two Itunes accounts (one in the AUS Itunes site and one in the US site) any ideas on how to get both US and AUS content working? I have tried authorising two accounts on the this computer but it didn't seem to work either.
    regards

    You can only purchase from the iTunes Store in your country of residence.
    From the US iTMS T&C (http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html):
    +"Purchases or rentals (as applicable) from the iTunes Store are available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions, and are not available in any other location. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Store from outside of the available territory. Apple may use technologies to verify such compliance."+
    Technologies such as matching your IP address to the country-specific store you are trying to download from.

    My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now  I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.  They may let you redownload it at no cost.

    If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again.  Sorry.

  • Error Message When Leaving Review For Apps Downloaded Using a Different Country App Store

    DEVICES AND SOFTWARE:
    iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.1.2, Macbook Air 11" 2013 OSX 10.10.2, iTunes 12.1.0.50
    DESCRIPTION:
    When attempting to leave a review for an App that has been previously downloaded or purchased using a different country store but on the same Apple ID - the user receives an error message. The issue stems from the App not being in the Purchase History of the presently associated country store as purchase history is country dependent rather than Apple ID dependent.
    STEPS:
    1. Login the App Store on iTunes or iOS Device using an Apple ID associated with a country.
    2. Download an App for the first time using said Apple ID.
    3. Change the country of said Apple ID.
    4. Attempt to leave a review of the previously downloaded app.
    EXPECTED RESULTS:
    A user should be able to leave a review to an App he/she has previously downloaded whilst the Apple ID is associated with a different country. The App Store button should show Downloaded after the country change and the App should continue to be displayed in the Purchase history. In other words the purchase history should not be country dependent but Apple ID dependent.
    ACTUAL RESULTS:
    User gets an error message indicating that the app needs to be downloaded or purchased first.
    NOTES:
    I have tried deleting my reviews from the original country store, and yet I am still not able to leave a review. Please make the purchase history dependent on the Apple ID rather than the Country Store. If this is not possible, provide a way for users to remove to delete the purchase history from the previous country store(s) - so these apps can appear on their current country store's purchase history. Thus they would be able to leave reviews for these apps.

  • Different app/itunes stores for different regions

    Why does there have to be different stores for different regions with some apps region locked? Can't they just make one universal app/itunes store?
    I just find it annoying to have to constantly change regions in order to get the apps I want that are locked to their country's region.
    Same with the itunes store; it's annoying that some international music doesn't show up on the US iTunes store, but shows up in a different country's iTunes store, as it is locked to that one region, so I have to change the country in order to download it.

    All content is licensed by the content providers (app developers, record companies etc) on a country-by-country basis as they want control over where their content is available - each country therefore has to have its own store, and you need to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to use its store. If there is a particular item that you would like that is not currently in your country's store then you can try requesting that it be added, but unless the rights-holder agrees to it the Apple can't sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
