How do I update iTunes Apps bought in one country when I move to another?

All my Mac gear was bought in Singapore where I lived for years - hardware and software including iPhone apps. When I retired to Australia I changed stores. I've been irritated for a year now as I have 15 apps bought from the Singapore store which refuse to update via the Australia store. How might I overcome this hurdle? Any ideas, please?

Report: 4 apps were unable to be updated. A couple appear no longer to have active up-dates, e.g, iFitness.
11 apps were downloaded successfully. Only 2/11 showed the prompt: You already have purchased this. Download again?
This means that I have been forced to buy 9/11 that I previously owned. 3-4 had slight name changes, I noted. The biggest annoyances were having to pay again for: X-Plane 9 (A$12.99) and 1Password ($14.99).
I shall now return to the iTunes complaints page and 'Report a Problem' to see if they will assess my complaint favourably.

  • Can anyone tell me (if possible?) how to automatically update itunes apps* on computer

    I hate having to go in and update manually, so if there IS a way, can someone tell me the steps to do an automatic update of my apps in itunes, I know it can be done on iphone/ipods, but just asking for how to set up itunes to open up and then automatically update APPS, I have it set to update podcasts music etc, but want to update the apps, if NOT possible, Okydoky... I have windows 7 and the latest version of Itunes 10.7.

    Currently there is no feature to allow your apps to update automatically in the background. Check for available updates > Update all is the best you can do.

    How do i update my apps on my iphone using itunes 11.0.0.163

    I click update on the app or try to purchase an app and it asks for my password. I enter my password, the icon spins and then just goes back to saying update or purchase. I have tried resetting my settings and shutting my phone off and nothing has seemed to work.

    Apps are DRM protected and tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another iTunes account nor updated using another iTunes account. Only the account used to obtain them can be used to update them. You can contact iTunes support, explain the situation & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new account:

  • TS1702 How do I update my apps via App Store on iTunes 11? I can't see the "update" button. Thank you.

    How do I update my apps via App Store on iTunes 11? I can't see the "update" button. Thank you.

    You can download updates to your computer's iTunes via the Check For Updates button at the bottom of the Apps section of your iTunes library. When they've been downloaded, and if you haven't already done so, connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of iTunes (if you don't have the left-hand sidebar showing then you can enable it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Apps tab on the right-hand side clicking the Sync button at the bottom of it should install the relevant updates.

  • How do you update your apps on your phone when it askes to be connected to itunes and wont automatically do it on your phone?

    how do i update my app on my phone its saying it to big over 20mb and need to connect to itunes... someone help me please!!!

    If you update via Settings>General>Software Update noting is lost unless there is a glitch. Thus make sure you backup your iPod to both iCloud and iTunes.
    iOS: How to back up
    If you update (or restore from iTunes backup) via iTunes all the apps have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup.

  • TS1702 how can you update your apps on the itune page like you use to with the old itunes

    How can I update my apps on the new itunes?  On the previuos itunes i was able to update them won the computer the sync my phone - i can not locate the update notifacation area on this new itunes program

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to sleect the Apps section of your library on that left-hand sidebar, click the 'Check For Updates' button at the bottom of it and download any available updates. Then connect your phone and select it on the sidebar, select its Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes, and click the Sync button at the bottom of it - that should copy any app updates over to it

  • I traded iPads with my daughter. How do I get my iTunes account on this one? When I try to update it wants her information?

    I traded iPads with my daughter. How do I get my iTunes account on this one? When I try to update it wants her iTunes information.

    You can tap on the account in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and log out of it and then log in with yours. But if any of the apps that are currently on the iPad were downloaded by her account then only her account will be able to download updates to those apps - content from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, not to the account that is currently logged in.

  • How can I update my app using my own ac?

    can I know if I can update my app from the other ac ?cause when I downloaded the app I used my friend ID  but now I can't contact him .so how can I update the app using my own ac?

    You can't, all content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, so only that account will be able to download updates to its apps.

  • How can i update my app with i tunes?not by my device.

    how can i update my app with i tunes?not by my device.

    Select Apps in iTunes sidebar. A list of all your apps should be displayed in the main window. At bottom right of the window is a Check for updates button. Click on it, then click to download the updated apps. It's also possible that iTunes checked for updatedin the background, in which case the check button will already display how many updates you have.

  • HT204152 I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.many times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc.

    I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.Many a  times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc....Using ! phone 6plus  .IOS8.3

    What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message 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 (these are user-to-user forums) 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 Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

  • How can I update my App Store payment details

    How can I update my App Store payment details

    On your iPad you can tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Or you can do it via your computer's iTunes by logging into your account by going into the Store > View Account menu option, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.
