How to change the country for the app store on my ipod?

I live in Canada. On my computer, my iTunes account as well as the App Store within iTunes are both set to "Canada". But on my iPod, if I try to download something, I get this message. "Account Not in This Store. Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the Canadian store before purchasing".
How do I switch stores? I have tried syncing my iPod to iTunes on my computer, but I am still getting this message. Also tried rebooting iPod.
What have I done wrong? And how can I fix it???

Hi Grant & lllaass
OK, location services was on. Followed the directions at the link for changing the signed-in iTunes Store. Viewed my Apple ID. It showed my country/region as Canada. The only change I made was to turn on location services for Safari. For some reason, that was set to "off". Otherwise, everything looked right. I shut down the iPod and restarted. Went into the App Store and downloaded the update. Seems OK now. Bizarre.
Anyway thanks for your help!

Hi,
I need to change the country for my Apple store account but this message appears "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores." but my credit is 1.58$ only and I couldn't buy any app with this amount! Any way how to fix that and I don't have a problem if I lose this 1.58 $?

If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask if they can remove the balance from your account : 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

How do I switch off the Genius for iPad App Store?

How do I turn off the Genius for iPad App Store. Its recomendations are very poor.

I don't believe there's a way to "turn it off", per se. Can you not just not tap the Genius button? Unless I'm missing something, that's the only way you see Genius recommendations in the iPad's App Store app.
BTW, questions about the iPad will generally get the quickest and most applicable responses if posted in the iPad forums.

How to change Apple Id for the cloud

Currently my Apple ID is an email address which I have been using for decades. In the near future the email server will be decommissioned and I will no longer be able to use it. In preparation of the change over I want to change my current email address to an icloud email address (@icloud.com). I have gone into the site to Manage Apple ID to change the email address but it won't let me as I get an error message that Apple ID must not use a domain owned by Apple. How can I change my Apple ID and Primary eMail Address to an @cloud.com account without losing all the info already on my current icloud?

First save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device by opening the photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, email them to yourself as you will have to recreate these after changing accounts. Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud go to the settings for these apps and turn iCloud sycing to Off.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted. (This will only delete the account from your device, not from iCloud. If your daughter is keeping the existing account her devices will not be effected by this.) Then sign back in with your new ID to create a new iCloud account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, choose Merge when prompted to upload the data to the new account. Then recreate any Notes from the emails sent earlier and turn on iCloud syncing with iWork again, if appropriate.
existing iCloud old email address with the old account. If you still want to access it on your iPad, you'll have to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with the old account ID. This email will be fetch only, not push.
Once your iPad has migrated to the new account, if you also want to move your Mac to this account go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign in with the new ID.

10g express, how to change port number for the database home page

10g express uses port 8080 for its http listener. However this number has been used by Tomcat on my computer. How can I chang the port number for the 10g home page?
Regards
jl

Andy, thank you very much, I have been able to changed the port number following your advice.
I hope you do not mind I ask a further questions along this line:
I installed 10 express db on 2 computers. One with Tomcat and the other without. Following your advice, I successfully changed the port number on the one without Tomcat.
On the one with Tomcat, I believe it was because I installed the 10g express while the Tomcat was running, I can neither go to the 10g's home page (page cannot be displyed), nor logon to the database from sqlplus (ora-12560: TNS:protocal error) even after I shut down the Tomcat. By checking with 'netstat -an', it is known that the http listerner is not listerning.
Can I change some configuration file to solve this problem? Or do I have to reinstall 10 ex? I prefer the 1st aproach of changing config file, even it is not as easy as reinstallation.
Thanks
jl

How to switch country for iTunes/App store on iPad?

I have an iPad 3 and took it on vacation in Europe and the UK. Now that I'm back, if I try to update my apps on the iPad it indicates:
"Account Not in This Store. Your account is not valid for use in the UK store. You must switch to the US store before purchasing."
All well and good, except:
1. I never intentionally switched to the UK store and don't know how that occurred
2. There is no explanation on how to switch to the US store
3. Every menu I've looked at has no options to change the store that I use
Does anyone know how to fix this on my iPad? My iTunes account is fine on all of my other Apple devices, so it's just the iPad that is the problem.
Thanks.

Go to the App Store and tap on the featured tab. Swipe to the bottom and tap on your Apple ID. Next tap View Apple ID. Then enter your password. Go to Country/region in the popup window and change to the U.S. store in there.

What is the license for an App Store App? In-App Purchase? Re-downloads?

Hello All!
I purchased an iPhone 3G when they initially came out. My wife bought one (and uses my iTunes account on it exclusively) about six months later. I couldn't find and understand what the licensing agreement was about installing the same app on multiple devices. I wanted to be legal and do it right, but I knew I could download the same app on both phones (with a single purchase) since they both use the same iTunes account.
I asked the iTunes store support via e-mail for a clarification of the policy since I couldn't find or understand the legal version of application licensing through the iTunes store on the Apple website. I got the run-around and no simple yes or no answer after several back and forth replies. So, I posted a message here and received a number of replies telling me that it was legal (not just possible, but LEGAL according to the EULA and the iTunes Store's licensing agreement -- which does vary considerably with each type of product sold). I proceeded accordingly since then based on that information, since I couldn't get a simple yes or no answer from iTunes Support about the really simple question I asked them. I was just attacked about my total ignorance on a different website by a user when I questioned the change in In-App purchase policies. I know Apple has seen a spike in these purchases, but it's been driven (quite literally) by the GPS app subscriptions, not true in-app product purchases.
Up until now, I've avoided in-app purchaes because I just didn't like the fact that if it was lost due to some failure in hardware (or backups not working correctly, as that was a real problem with the iTunes software for some time for me), I had no ability to re-download it again, like the app itself. Now, with the policy change allowing for developers to avoid having to make a Lite version and make buying the full version an in-app purchase, this will make it unavoidable for certain applications if I want the full version.
*So, I've got several questions, and would appreciate an Apple employee response, in addition to others who really know (and aren't just doing what is possible). Is it legal for a purchased app to be installed on multiple devices concurrently? If that is legal, can an in-app purchase be installed on multiple devices concurrently (and is possible to make this download without additional charges)? And finally, can in-app purchaes be downloaded again if there is a hardware failure (and no valid backup to restore from) or do I have to buy it all over? If that last question has an answer of no, it's going to help me determine who I buy from.*
I'm not a fan of these in-app purchases since they weren't re-downloadable when problems occurred (as least that's what I was told), so as I said, I've avoided them. Obviously, I'm going to have to change that policy, but I want to know that my purchases will be safe. I like seeing the app on my computer's hard drive as a real file (and in iTunes as a listed application).
I'd appreciate someone clearing this up for me as I took the first time I asked as a basis for my decisions since then and now I'm being told that was all wrong. I wish there was a simple link, in non-legal terminology, that would explain the licensing rights for each type of product being sold in the iTunes store on the Apple website itself. If there is such a place, iTunes Support should have told me about that when I contacted them in the first place when my wife first got her phone (but instead, I had to get answers here because it seemed like Apple's support is just automated computers guessing at appropriate responses to questions). It was such a simple question and I couldn't get an answer, even after 2 or 3 back and forth replies. It was rediculous!
Would someone please clear this up for me?
Thanks!
Jim

@wjosten:
I really appreciate your input, but I'd like an Apple employee response to rest my hat on (like JasonL, who has responded to my posts previously -- his user account is marked with an Apple icon and says Apple Employee on it). I know it's not official, but after getting attacked on another website for this question, I knew I had to head here. I couldn't get straight answer from Apple's iTunes Store Support, so I wanted to have someone attached to Apple sticking their neck out.
*A few questions for you, though, with the in-app purchases of both subsciptions (like with the GPS apps) and product additions, since I've never used them before because of fear of losing them. When you make an in-app purchase, and then I want to put it on my wife's phone, does it come up the same box saying it's free to download because you've already purchased it? How does this work with subscriptions, which would have to update the developer's servers somehow (to know how long to provide a service for)? I have MotionX GPS and need a subscription for esentially the app to work fully. I'm still in the 30-day free window, but it's not installed on my wife's phone. If I want to continue the service, will I be able to buy one subscription and just re-download it on her phone (and it would give her phone the same expiration date for her service from them)? Would it just update MotionX's system when the initial purchase is made and any additional downloads would be ignored (as long as they were made under my iTunes account)? This is particularly confusing because MotionX says you can stack subscriptions, so I would think each download would have to be paid for in order to do this. See what I mean?*
*I know about music being non-redownloadable, but also thought the same was true for all media except for apps (movies, TV shows, etc.). Is that also not true? It's not a big issue for me, since I don't get most of my media from iTunes, but I'd like to know the right answers when I do.*
Thanks for helping someone who doesn't understand Apple's SLA's or how to find them online on their system. Yes, I'm a PC, but am considering a Mac for the near future, but I've never had a lot of luck finding information in Apple's support knowledgebase at all. Microsoft's KB works better, but it just may be I'm used to it since I've used it for almost 20 years. I've only been using Apple's for going on 15 months.
Really, if you can clear up these other questions, I'd be happy to call it solved. I appreciate it a bunch!
Take care!
Jim

How to change the language of my app store to english since the region for my billing address is hkg?

How to change tha language of my app store to english?the region og my billing address is hkg

This changes the actual store. There are dozens of stores. Each store is posted in ONLY ONE LANGUAGE. Changing the country (actually, it changes the store) doesn't change the language. The language is hard-fixed for the particular country's store. You cannot change the language of the store. You can only change the store. The German Store is always in German. You can change to the U.S. store, but you can NEVER download / purchase anything from a different store than the one where you first got your Apple ID.
You could create a new Apple ID in the U.S. store, but that is only allowed WHILE YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE U.S. This is the most annoying limitation of the Apple ID and flies in the face of Apple's attempt to present a globe-trotter image for their customers.
