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.

  • I can't buy in app store, my credit card is from USA but billing address is from venezuela.

    How should I set app store?
    If I set to USA app store doesn't accept the address
    If I set to Venezuela app store doesn't accept the credit card

    I have an account in the US but billing address is from Venezuela, I guess I can't use it to purchase apps from app store.
    I use it in Amazon without problems, problem with app store is not flexible to set address in venezuela with us
    I will try with gift card
    Thanks for your early reply.

  • Changing Preferred Language leaves Mail.app's FLAGS menu showing the last non-English language

    After changing the System's Preferred Language to FRANCAIS, then back again to BRITISH ENGLISH, I've found that the FLAGS menu of MAIL.APP will not change back to ENGLISH.
    e.g.
    - I change the Preferred Language setting to FRANCAIS,
    - I restart Mail.app.
    - I change the Preferred Language setting to BRITISH ENGLISH
    - I restart Mail.app.
    The Flags menu is still in FRANCAIS. Every other menu is using the correct language
    - I then change the Preferred Language to ESPANOL
    - I restart Mail.app
    - I change the Preferred Language setting to BRITISH ENGLISH
    The Flags Menu is now in ESPANOL.
    It seems I can change the FLAGS menu to anything other than ENGLISH or BRITISH ENGLISH.
    Rebooting between changes and/or leaving Mail.app open or closed seems to make no difference.
    It's quite annoying as I make extensive use of keyboard shortcuts to flag emails....!
    Any clues?

    I should point out that every other menu is changing correctly to reflect the Preferred Language. It is just the FLAGS menu that is not changing to english.

  • How to Change Country in iOS 6 App Store and iTunes Store

    Hi. I currently live in the Netherlands but have all my songs and apps from the US app and song stores. After I upgraded to iOS 6 today, the stores are all Dutch. And I can't do app updates because it is the wrong store. How do I put it back to the US stores? I have looked all over settings and can't find it. Thanks.

    I have the same problem.  I upgrade to iOS on my iPhone and iPad yesterday.  I'm American living in Germany.  Both devices came up with the Germany iTunes/App Store after the upgrade.  Now I must ask, why would the device destroy my country connection just because it upgraded the iOS.  Never happened from iOS 4 to iOS 5.  Strange.  But I verified Settings...iTunes & App Stores, clicked on my Apple ID: [email protected], clicked View Apple ID, entered password, and sure enough, still says United States.  Therefore, powered off the device, rebooted, and the store was correct (United States), where it should have been without all these steps.

  • HT204266 Why App Store is not accepting my new credit card billing address?

    When trying to buy at the App Store it keeps saying "Your cedit card information does not matchc your bank's records.  Please enter a U.S. credit card and matching billing address."   This credit card is not the original I had saved in the system -- it's new, but the billing address is a PO box.  If I change it to my residential address I get the same message.

    Is your VISA account associated with the same country where you reside? If not, that's why it was declined.

  • I have a ploblem: My Ipad already connected wifi. But I cannot use the safari application or App Store.It's showing "the Internet is not connecting". How to solve this problem?

    What will I solve this problem?

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Change language in mac app store

    Is there any way to select the language in the Mac App store without changing your billing country?
    Specifically, I am an expat living in Netherlands with a Dutch address but would like to use the App Store in English.
    The only option seems to be to change the country to the UK, but if I do that I cannot purchase anything because I have no billing address there.

    Hi ...
    You can change the country by clicking the round flag icon bottom right corner of the App Store window.
    For purchasing your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
    From here >  The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
    FYI:  iTunes and Mac App Stores bililing policies are the same.

  • HT204266 How do you clear search feature in apps store?

    How do I clear search history in apps store.  I clear the search box, type in what I am looking for and it always goes back to the last app I downloaded.

    If you tap on the X in the search field that should clear the search. When you type in the new app name and hit search on the keyboard it takes you to the last app that you downloaded?
    Quit the app store completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
