HT1491 Why can't I purchase while not in the u.s.?

I am from the u.s and am currently deployed....I purchased an here on the military base but I cannot download anything from the apps, iTunes, or games store bc the network registers my device in Afghanistan but my billing address is in the u.s.....also I tried to purchase a gift card online but they all state that I must be in the u.s to use.....HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

Because Apple hasn't gotten permission from the copyright holder to sell it in the USA.

  • HT4743 Why can't I purchase tv series in the United Arab Emirates :( ? I bought the Apple TV for this :(

    WWhy can't I buy tv series in the United Arab Emirates store

    Yes, very unfair - the media companies policies are crazy and to me it seems as usual with this kind of thing it's only the genuine customer who is prepared to pay rather than pirate/download who loses out.
    In reality though it's very early days with digital video sales/rentals/streaming companies so lets hope in time there will be more equitable global solutions and release dates, but currently too many vested interests to make it simple.
    It's not that long ago that only the US had Movie/TVShow purchases and rentals, but more countries can now access the service, hopefully you will be able to in the not to distant future.  Not sure if there might be cultural controls on content availability in certain countries as well which the big companies have little control over.

  • HT1600 Why can my apple tv 2 not find the latest update?

    I tried selecting the  update software option and it says that my apple tv is up to date. I checked the about section and it says that I am currently running apple tv software 5.3. IOS build 6.1.4. I know this is not the most current version. How can I make it find the most current version? I want my itunes radio on my apple tv.

    I have one remaining Apple TV (second generation, Model # A1378, Order # MC572LL/A) that I have yet to update. As a result of a large number of threads appearing in a short period of time reporting that the update is no longer available, I tried to update my own and was told it was up to date.
    It’s therefore quite possible the update has been temporarily removed and the best advice I can provide is to sit tight and wait.

  • Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:
    We could not complete your purchase
    The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    Please can anyone be of kind assistance.
    Thank you!

    I have tried to re-install Lion
    If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery
    Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message:  The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open. 
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
    *****   Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

  • Why can't I purchase my entire wish list anymore?

    Why can't I purchase my entire wish list anymore?

    You can't buy it all at once, if that's what you mean. Apple for some unexplained reason removed the "Buy All" option a while back. Perhaps they'll put it back in a future update; it's a subject that certainly has been brought up a number of times in these forums.
    Regards.

  • HT5622 Why can't I purchase after I update my payment detail?

    Why can't I purchase after I update my payment detail?

    My first suggestion would be to double check and make sure that the changes were saved in the payment information area of your account, to back and check to be sure.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID> Tap your ID. Then Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password and go to Payment Information and check. Check the expiration date, biling address, security code, etc. and then save your changes.
    If everything is done successfully, you will get an email from Apple notifying you that they received changes to your account and if these changes were not made by you... Etc, etc. When you get that email, you know that the changes have been confirmed.

    Why can't I purchase Edge Animate as single App anymore?

    Greetings! I know this is an old post, but I have a similar question. I undertsand that it is not possible to buy Edge Animate as a single app, and I am willing to subscribe to the CC. But see, I already have an active subscription for Photoshop, Premiere and Captivate. (Ps and Pr are included in the CC, right?) So my question is: How do i proceed? Because I want to pay a subscription that includes 2 apps that I'm already paying every month.
    I would aprecciate a response,
    cheers!

  • Why can't i purchase music from an overseas store

    Why can't I purchase music from the US ITunes Store when based in AUS. I can't even find the music I want in searches unless i search overseas.

    This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders.  Quoting from This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel et. al,  Random House LLC 2007) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
    The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
    (....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
    (.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
    (...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
    The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
    So unless and until the record companies, et. al,  all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.

  • Why can't i purchase songs in "browse"

    Why can't i purchase songs from "browse" mode?

    I suddenly have the same exact problem with both my Macs - MBP 10.6.8 with iTunes 10.7, as well as an old PPC. The button for 'buy" "or "download" or "rent" is no longer functional. I click on the button but nothing happens.
    And we're not alone - there are a lot of similar complaints just recently in Apple discussions and other forums in the past few days. It doesn't seem to matter which OS or iTunes version is used, or even if it's a Mac or PC. Apparently its only affecting some. So far, there doesn't seem to be a fix.
    Maybe if enough people complain, Apple will find a fix.
    Edit: I just saw this temporary fix on another thread that worked for me:
    "click on drop-down, add to wish list, and then answer yes to the prompt about "prices may change, do you want to download now" works."

  • Why can't i purchase videos in itunes?! is it a country/region restriction!?

    why can't i purchase videos in itunes?! is it a country/region restriction!?

    You can only purchase what the itunes store in your country sells.
    The owners of the distribution rights of music/movies/etc. must allow itunes to sell their content.  Unless and until Apple is able to reach an agreement with these companies, then they will not be able to provide.

  • Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Not sure I understand the question but it could be because you meant to say "can't" somewhere in the sentence.  anyway, just guessing here:
    Try going to:
    File >> Watch folders
    Now you can Add new folders here that you see them in Windows.  The word ADD is a button to browse for the folders and hopefully this will solve the problem you are having.
