Hide music from other stores?

I've an account with the iTunes store in Ireland. Several times I've tried to purchase tracks only to find the track is not available in my country. I understand the licencing problems that prevent this, but is there a way to configure iTunes so that it doesn't show these tracks. It's very frustrating to see the track listed and then find I can't buy it.

Make sure you're connected to the Irish iTMS; the link for changing the country of the store you're connected to is at the bottom of the main iTMS window. The Irish iTMS should only show tracks available for sale there.
If you're clicking on a link elsewhere, then you have no control over which country's store the link's creator directed it to.
Hope this helps.

  • Buying music from other stores besides the U.S. one

    i want to know how can i buy music from other stores around the world like from japan for instance i know i have a U.S. account but is there away i can buy music from those stores with my account????

    This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders. From This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
    The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
    (....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
    (.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
    (...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
    The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
    So unless and until the record companies, et. al, all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.

  • Why can't I buy music from other Stores, other then my localised store ?

    It puzzles me. If you buy a CD abroad, you can play it in your CD player at home. So why not iTunes downloads. For instance, I'm located in the Netherlands, but I see an album in the US store I want to download, but I can't because I'm only allowed to buy something from the Dutch store.
    Why ? It makes no sense.
    EDIT: Nevermind, another post had the answer.

    Please give more information, as your device model and software version. Also what happens when you try to buy music? Probably is because you don't have an apple id synced up or you haven't registered a credit card.

  • Purchasing music from other stores.

    Hi everyone:
    Is it possible to do it? I scroll down to select different store, but it logs me out. I can't download anything without changing my billing address but is there another way?

    I can't download anything without changing my billing address but is there another way?
    You need a credit card in that country with a billing address in that country, or a gift card with a street address in that country. There are no other ways.

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • Purchasing music from other sites

    I have tried to purchase music from other sites such as Tesco Music. In all cases they all require Internet Explorer! Having just switched from a Windows bases pc to an iMac I do not wish to go backwards. How can I buy music from other than iTunes?

    If you are referring to Tesco's digital downloads, those are available only in copy-protected Windows Media format and cannot be played on a Mac. Other than the iTunes Store, only those download stores offering tracks in MP3 are Mac-compatible. I'm not sure if there are any available from the UK yet that are carrying major-label content.

  • Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account    is not valid in the US  store"

    Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account    is not valid in the US  store" As I am new at this I don't know what I can do to remove this problem.

    What country are you in ? If you aren't in the US and the address on your account isn't in the US then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select your country.

  • How can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?

    how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?

    Hi,
    Thanks.  I know how to do that, however, I thought it only works with the imported content not the purchased ones.  The reason for wanting this was that I keep all my music in NAS drive for SONOS (the wireless music system) will need the music to be in NAS so that it can play music while the mac is on sleep mode.
    Anyhow, I will try again and let you know if it does work.
    Thanks again.

  • Isn't there a way that i can upload music from other peoples playlists?

    Isn't there a way that i can upload music from other peoples playlists?

    People can share/publish playlists to the iTunes Store. They can either gift those tracks to selected friends or you can purchase the tracks of published playlists. Perhaps not quite what you were asking, but when you purchase music you buy the right to listen to it personally, not to give it away to others.

  • TS3297 iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.

    iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.  Anyboy else get this looping error?

    Hey everybody,
    I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
    I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
    The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
    I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
    Good Luck,
    Bill

  • Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

    Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

    O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
    I don't know what happened but this is the results....
    After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
    A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
    So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

  • HT1848 I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ?

    I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). I no longer have my CDs once I did donate it to a public library. How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ? At this time I only know how to transfer Apple Store purchased items.

    iTunes will only import music purchased from the iTunes store.  If you need to import music to iTunes from your phone that wasn't purchased from iTunes you will need to use 3rd party software to do so, such as Touch Copy.

  • Isn't there a way for to repair the itunes store so that I can buy from other stores?

    Well, I wanted to buy music from other countries' stores but my itunes store doesn't let me do that. So isn't there anyway for Apple co. to solve this problem as I have many friends having the same problem.

    It's a copyright issue. There's nothing for Apple to solve.
