How do i change my appleid to point to a different country?

Hi, I purchased my ipad in Australia and moved to UAE, I can not purchase anything as my appleid on iTunes says - This apple id is only valid for purchases in the Emirati iTunes Store.  I have updated my apple id profile to show Australia as the country, what else do I need to change?  Thanks in advance.

You can only purchase content in the country in which you live and you must have a credit card that is registered to a valid address in that country. Not all content is available in all countries and Apple must abide by the copyright laws and government regulations in different countries for their iStores.

  • I am using a MacBook Pro previously owned by a colleague. How do I change the AppleID matched to my utilities (iPhoto, iMovie, ...)? I can't update them as I have my own AppleID and not my colleague's.

    What system version are you running and what version of iApps do you currently have?

    What versions did you have? Did you purchase the iApps with your Apple ID as some previous time?
    Go into the System/iCloud preference pane and sign out.  Then sign back in with your Apple ID.  Also sign in to the App Store with your Apple ID. If you have purchased those apps previously you'll be able to download them for free from the Purchases section.

    If it is on the iCloud Activation lock, then theres nothing you can do. But if your talking about the App Store, then go to the App Store, go to the featured tab, and go down to your Apple ID. Select it and press sign out. Then go back to the bottom and sign in.

  • How do I change my credit card billing address to another country? The iTunes billing address edit only offers an option for a different State, but my credit card billing address is now New Zealand.

    I recently moved out of the US to another country and changed my billing address at my credit card company to my new country.  Now iTunes won't let me edit my credit card billing information because the "edit" option on the billing address only lets you change states, not countries.  There is a non-spendable balance on my iTunes account because it's an odd amount, and iTunes won't let me change my iTunes store to my new country as long as there is a balance showing in my US iTunes store account.  So I'm stuck.  I can't spend my balance in my account. I can't change the balance to a spendable amount because iTunes no longer accepts my credit card because my credit card's new zip code billing address doesn't match my iTunes account.  I can't change my iTunes account to my new country as long as there is a balance in my US iTunes store.  How can I change my iTunes account information to my new country under these circumstances?

    I am stuck with a similar problem. I moved from Ireland to the UK but for some reason, iTunes would not let me change the country in my payment information, it remains Ireland. I do not have any credit to spend and I still cannot change it. I even set up a new iTunes account and the country still remains uncangable. Hence, I cannot add the details of my UK card as iTunes believes it is set in Ireland. Have you managed to solve your problem?

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    How can I change the Apple Store language and keep the country of residence?

    Users do not have control over the language of the Mac App Store or iTunes stores for a particular country or region. It is what it is and can't be changed.

  • I have a defective iphone5 which is under guarantee,but unfortunately there isn't any apple retail store in my country.would you plz help me how can I change it?should I go to near country such as Dubai or Turkey to change it?

    If the iPhone came from the US, then that is the only place where Apple will service it. If you can't take it there yourself, you would need to send the iPhone to someone you know in the US who could get it serviced and then send it back to you.
    Your only other option will be to find some unauthorized cellphone repair shop to attempt a repair, after which all further support from Apple, in the US or anywhere else, will no longer be available to you.

  • How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?

    I gifted an App from the App store to my cousin. He is India and I am in Kuwait. He now got a message saying that the app can only be used in Kuwait. How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?
    Cheers,

    Are you asking about iOS apps? This is the Mac App Store forum, about issues with apps for Macs, not iOS devices. Mac apps cannot be gifted at this moment. I am asking the Hosts to move your question to the iTunes area.

  • How can I subscribe to a free podcast from a different country's i-store?

    How can I subscribe to a free podcast from a different country's i-store? I tried, but it says I can use only store in the country of residence. I just bought imac to be able to watch podcasts from my home country which is not country of residence... It is completely unreasonable!

    You cannot.
    As it has told you, you can use the itunes store of your country of residence and only while you are inside the borders of that country.
    Sorry.

  • I changed my AppleId online now how do I change the AppleId in my iPhone?

    I went online and changed the email address for my AppleID to update it to my new address. Now I am trying to figure out how to change the AppleID in my iPhone so that it uses this new ID with the new email address. I can't find a way to do that. I tried Settings/Store but it only displays my old AppleID and has no way to update it. Any suggestions on how to either reset the AppleID on my iPhone or change it so I can access apps etc. again?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Thanks Paul. This was not very intuitive, but once I did it it worked. There are several things that will throw someone off when they do this because after you sign out it, when you go to sign back in it asks if you want to use the same id again and its not apparent that it will let you change the email address at this point. So, one is more inclined to think they should use the option to create a new one which is the incorrect way to go. But, once I went ahead with the selection to use the same id it allowed me to put in the  new email address and everything worked fine from that point on. You answer was perfect, spot on! Thanks for solving the mystery.

  • How can i change my AppleID (mail address) in iCloud?

    I've changed my email address. It was quite simple to change this for my AppleID, but my iCloud-account is still registered on my former address.
    It keeps asking for my password in a pop-up, but obviously I don't have the right password. (It for sure is not the same as the Apple ID password!).
    I tried to change the iCloud login in 'options' in my iPhone, but the accountaddress stays grey and unclickable.
    Does anyone know how I can change my mailaddress and password in iCloud>
    Thanks in advance!!

    On an iOS device...
    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.

    Sign out of your Apple ID under Settings - iTunes & App Stores, and then enter the new ID you're using with the pw.
