How Do I Switch My Apple Store from USA to Canada?

Hello!
I recently got a Mac computer handed down from a family member, and I've been trying to update it. However when I try to download Mavericks, it asks for me to login to my Apple ID and then when I do a pop up comes up saying the ID is for the US store and it's going to transfer me to the US store. I'm in Canada, and now can't purchase anything because my credit card info and address is Canadian, yet I'm stuck in the US Apple store.
How do I go about switching my account to the Canadian store?
Thank You in advance!
M

You need to erase the HDD, reinstall the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac and then set it up as new with your own Apple ID.

  • HT1918 i tried to change my apple store from usa to egypt

    i have problems in the billing informatopn such as governorate i don't know which governorate iam supposed to choose and the postcode, i have also another problem whatever i wrote in the governorate and the postcode when i'm filling the billing information,it always gives me message " your payment method was declind please enter anthor payment method" please help

    The card needs to have been issued by a bank in your country (i.e. Egypt if that is where you are), and be registered to the same name and address as you have on your iTunes account. If you are trying to use a debit card then it probably will be declined, as far as I know they are no longer accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined.
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
    For the 'governorate' and postcode are they not parts of your Egypt address ?

  • How do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    how do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    You can simply sign out and sign in with the different ID. However, if you have any protected media - movies, or songs purchased before they stopped protecting them - you will not be able to play them, so in that case you are rather stuck.
    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs. Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream; use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • HT204053 How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    If you are asking because you are getting an 'account not in this country' error message then on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on the device 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 on that screen and select Nigeria.
    If you need to update your address on your account from the US to Nigeria then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to do so by signing into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and updating your address, or on an iOS device you can do it by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store similar to above.
