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.

I want to turn on touch ID for iTunes & App Store

When I try, the feature is grayed out. I looked at my settings for iTunes & App store and my Apple ID is entered and when I click it i have the option to 'sign out' so I believe I am signed in. Any ideas on how to enable this feature?

I have went in and enabled restrictions - it didn't work. I then enabled restrictions and disabled iTunes Store, Installing Apps, Deleteing Apps, and In-App Purchases and I am still not having luck with getting the option to tun this on. The 'requrie passwork' is also set to 15 minutes. See pictures as maybe I am in the wrong place.

HT5552 Using PayPal for iTunes/App Store

I try to select PayPal as my payment option for iTunes/App Store, but when I select the PayPal icon and click the "continue" button, as directed, nothing happens. Why can I not select PayPal? All of my payment information is stored in PayPal, and I would like to keep it that way.

Thanks for the pointer Lesnes.
Unfortunately I am unable to create an itunes account as part of the process for doing so asks for my bank or cc details which I am not happy to provide.
I received an email from Apple support last night with the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
The link does not take into account that I already have an apple ID so instead of being able to follow all the steps I get asked to log in and review and this goes to a page requesting billing info with no 'None' or Paypal options.

How can I correct the iTunes/App Store error I'm getting on my 4s, since upgrading to IOS 7?

Since upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4s I cannot download from iTunes/App Store - I get the message "... could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later". I can download via iTunes on my laptop and then transfer via iCloud no problem, but can't make purchases directly.
How can I resolve this issue?

Does everyone need to use the same Apple ID/password for iTunes & App Store in iOS 8 Family share?

I just set up Family share on my 5S and my wife's 5, both running iOS 8. I am the organizer.
In order for my wife's purchases to be charged to my CC (per Family Share setup), does she need to be signed in under my Apple ID and password under Settings -> iTunes & App Store? Or, can she use her Apple ID (that she used with her previous App Store purchases)? Additionally, if she makes purchases in iTunes or the App Store under my Apple ID, does she need to enter my password?
If she's logged into "iTunes & App Store" on her phone, using her Apple ID, will it work?

Well thanx to your answer I sure did just sign out of my old id, & now it's working! Thanx a lot IIIaass, you saved me from having to deal with anymore frustration! Thanx IIIaass!

The setting "use touch ID for iTunes & App Store" isn't turning on..help?

please help i'm new to ios7 and im very confused

Have you first gone to Settings > iTunes and App Store to ensure that you are signed into iTunes with your Apple ID? The following quote is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
If you haven't already, ensure that iTunes & App Store is enabled in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID. If you can't enable this setting, ensure that your Apple ID is signed in under Settings > iTunes & App Store.

How can I get the iTunes app on my iPad Air 2?

I Noticed that I don't have the iTunes app on my iPad Air 2. How do I get it? Cannot find it on App Store.

Because it isn't there. The app is probably in a folder. Use Spotlight search to find it on the home screen, or check Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have it restricted.

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!

Tap "Settings" from the main menu of your iOS device.
2
Tap "Store."

Tap "View Apple ID."
4
Enter your user name and password.

Tap the space underneath "Change Country or Region."

Select the region where you will be located.

To my show there was a Rs60 Deduction.
Request you to kindly revert this transaction else I need to knock the doors of consumer court. This is rediculeous. I need my money back.

Hi Sockatume,
Few days back I wanted to download BBM for iPhone to which I was diverted to New Zealand App Store automatically.
So whenever I tried to download apps from the AppStore it said, I wasn't in the region which I should be that is India and being in different region I can't download any app.
So I followed the instructions as above. After updating the region and the proceeding pages of the instruction. There was a deduction of money.
I didn't buy any gift card or anything neither I went to that page.

Problem signing up for iTunes app store account without a credit card (cred

I'm trying to test my friend's (free) iTunes app, and followed Apple's own instructions to get an app store account without a credit card:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
Unfortunately, every time I try to enter my info in iTues and submit, the response is "Your credit card was declined". This is VERY frustrating as I'm choosing 'none' and trying to sign up WITHOUT a credit card, there is no credit card to be declined?! Help?

You can only choose None for credit card if you switch to USA AppStore.
Just while registartion choose USA.
You should google more

I just spoke with an apple rep and they walked me through a ton of stuff.

Then, logging in worked.

HT204053 Using 2 Apple IDs for the App store on iPad

Hi there,
We're looking to set up and use two Apple Ids, so each can make and control their own app downloads on an iPad Mini.
This is our first experience in the ios environment and we're a bit lost with how to handle the Apple ID settings, specifically for app downloads, less for iCloud. On previous Android app stores, there was no need to give an ID + password for each single download.
Many thanks for any advice and help!

We're looking to set up and use two Apple Ids, so each can make and control their own app downloads on an iPad Mini.
That's not going to work. You can only sign into an Apple ID on an iOS device once every 90 days. An iPad is a single user device. Yes, you can comingle the content from different Apple IDs on the same iPad, but it is best to download and comingle the content in the iTunes library of a single account on a Mac or PC and then to sync the comingled content to the iPad.

How to pause/stop updates from App Store on iPad?

Currently, I am on holiday making use of a prepaid mobile Internet connection. By accident I pushed the button "Update All" in the App Store.
Then it started downloading 18 apps and consumed more then many MB's in just a few minutes. My prepaid Internet is just 2GB for a month.
Now because of this within 2 days I consumed 1.1GB. After my error by pushing the wrong button, it could not be stopped what so ever.
This is very annoying and cost me in 10 mins at least 20 Euro's. Why does Apple not support a pause/stop button? Or did they just forget to include this button in their App Store app? I was pretty up-sat. You recognize you pushed to wrong button, you see all the apps starting downloading loads of MB's. but you cannot find any button to stop it. You can't do anything about it and just let it happen and hope the damage is not too high.
Please Apple, develop a pause/resume/cancel button in the App Store when someone accidentally pushed the "update all" button !!!!
Many thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Jan van Duuren
