Gifted app from another country

Hi, I just received an app as a gift from my older brother who has an american account. The problem is I use an european account, so the code I received is invalid for me .We weren't aware of this restriction, so does anyone know how to fix this problem?

You can try contacting itunes support and asking for a refund.

  • I received a gift card from another country

    I received a gift card from Belgium, I can't redeem the voucher
    HELP!

    No, you can't. Send it back to the giver with thanks and tell them that gift cards can only be used in the country where they were originally sold.

  • Installing app from another country

    I am with Itune Ireland and want to download an app from Itunes UK but it keeps telling me it is going to change to Ireland. The app is not in Ireland and is not applicable to any Irish organisation so how do I install it?

    You can only download apps from the iTunes store for the country you are registered in.  Maybe contact the App developer and find out if they intend to put it in the Irish store?

  • App/itunes gift card from another country

    Hi
    For Christmas I was given an app/itunes gift card by a friend, the card was purchased in italy. Now I have just tried to enter the code and guess what? it tells me i cannot redeem it cos my store is Uk not Italy. If i try to change it to Italy it tells me I have to register with an italian bank account and address. How is this possible that i cant use an apple card on the apple store??? is there anyway to change this??? i have to say this is truly ridiculous...
    any suggestions are welcome...

    OK you have 2 options lets say for example you live in the UK and the iTunes card is from the USA.
    option 1) go to eBay and sell the card to someone in the USA.
    option 2) use the itunes card.
    if option 2 you will need to use the following steps
    1) Move to the USA <------- This is just so you are following Apples rules ;-)
    2) you will need a USA iTunes account, now that you live there so make a new Apple ID. To do this go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US and the 1st thing you are going to want to do is go to the bottom of the page and make sure that next to "Choose Your Country or Regin" you have the US flag (or what ever flag matches the place you just moved to to use the card) if it doesnt then click on it and change it. Put in all info to setup the account, (if for some reason you cant remember the address of the place you just moved into then use google maps). if you dont get an option to make an iCloud email address then you can make a Gmail account and use that as your new Apple ID.
    3) you have now moved and made a new iTunes account you can now use your gift card. You will have access to the content in your new country and it will be at their prices.
    4) if you want content from both accounts, I assume you already have content purchased from your old account then login to your iTunes/iPhone/iPad with 1 account and download what you own then logout and login with your second account.
    enjoy and good luck getting your green card, hopefully the place the iTunes card came form is nice ;-)

  • Gift voucher from another country not redeemable?

    I live in australia. My friend in germany sent me a gift-voucher.
    To redeem, itunes want me to register an account, so i did. I can only register in australia (credit card, billing adress, pp)
    The provided gift voucher number was not valid in the australia store. So i visited the german store to redeem it there. It wants me to sign in, but then tells me that i can only use my account in the australia store.
    What am i doing wrong or is apple serious you cant make an international present?
    Thanks for any help

    Gift vouchers can be redeemed in the issueing country only!
    So what you have to do:
    log off from any iTMS account
    switch to German iTMS
    redeem voucher
    now create new account with an unused email
    enter your German address - skip CC detail: You will be offered this option as you are redeeming a voucher
    After that you will be able to use your Australien account as well as your German.
    If there are further questions contact me through mail: [email protected]

  • HT5622 Redeeming Gift Cards from another country?

    My daughter has been given an Apple gift cert bought in Ireland but her ID is UK store based, it states that she needs a new ID to use the Ireland store front. Which she moved to but it asked her to set up a new ID. If she has two ID's surely she will have two sets of music in two different locations?
    Any ideas on how she can redeem this inot her UK iTunes ID so she can manage her music & videos in one location?
    Thanks

    - You can only use the iTunes/App store in the country you are located. An iTunes gift card can only be redeemed in the same country's store in which the card was purchased.
    - If she is in Ireland then shed can redeem the card into her existing account.existing . However, if she still has a balance for the UK store she has to remove that balance before she can change country store and redeem the Ireland card.

  • Purchasing app from another country overseas

    I am in Italy. I am Australian. My credit card is from an Australian bank. I bought my mac in the USA. I am having trouble downloading an app here because the app store is in Italian. Ok I can understand the Italian more or less, but then when I want to purchase and I have to enter the billing address, it won't let me set Australia as the country. This is shithouse. I just want to download angry birds. Why do they make it so hard when I want to give them money? This is the first time I tried using the appstore - i didn't even know it existed before but i mis-typed something in spotlight and there it was. So now I want to buy angry birds and it suddenly spouts all this crap in Italian at me. The OS is in English and they already know my Australian address, why suddenly start asking me to read through terms and conditions in Italian. Anyone know how to get around this? What am I missing here? Thanks everyone

    To use a bank card in an iTunes/Mac App Store account, the card has to be from the same country as the iTunes Store and have a billing address for the bank card in that country.
    So if you want to use an Australian bank card to buy an app in the Mac App Store you will need to go to the bottom of the MAS page and change the store to the Australian Mac App Store and have an Australian billing address.
    If you have not done so already, it is easier to set up the account with the Australian bank card in the Australian iTunes Store first.

  • HT201209 Gifting app to another country

    How do I gift an app to a person in Russia, if my country is the u.s.?

    It can't easily be done. You can only gift an iOS app to someone who lives in the same country as you do and uses the same iTunes Store. You cannot send a US iTunes gift card to Russia, because it would not be redeemable in the Russian iTunes Store.

  • HT201209 How do I download gifted songs from another country?

    Living in Australia, I received a wonderful gift of tunes from a friend in USA, who used a US credit card etc and his US iTunes account.
    But iTubes in Australia refuses to deliver them!
    How do I redeem my gift? Or how does my friend get e refund for a gift that Apple doesn't deliver?

    You won't be able to redeem it.
    He could try resending it to somebody who is in the US with a US iTunes account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541
    Or, and if he's been charged, then he can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will credit or refund him : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Gift song from another country

    I live in the US and my friend lives in Canada.  She purchased an album on itunes Canada (with her Canadian credit card) and sent it to me as a gift.  I am unable to redeem this gift...it says that I must be in Canada.  How can I get around this?  Is it impossible to gift songs between countries?

    1. You can't.
    2. It's impossible to do this through iTunes, but can be done with an international cheque or other way of transferring money directly.

  • Buying apps from another store?

    Is there any way of buying apps from another country store and using them on your ipad? There are some apps I would like but for some reason are not available on my own country store.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    No - the terms of use of the iTunes stores say that you can only buy from the country that you are currently in (and, I'm not sure on this, but you may also need to have a credit card registered in that country).

    Ok. so im trying to sync my ipod to a new computer, i type in my apple id and password, then someone elses email pops up from another country, how do i fix this
               Please help me.

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

  • Cannot purchase from another country's iTunes....

    I know we cannot purchase from another country's iTunes, but how about if someone in that country gifted songs to us? For example, my wife here in the U.S. wants stuff from the Japanese iTunes store but can't buy it; can her sister in Japan "gift this song" to her? Thanks.

    No, you can only successfully gift to people who are in the same country as yourself - the gifting may appear to go though, but your wife won't be able to redeem it
