HT1918 How do I access the US iTunes store when living in Italy?

I'm on exchange in Italy for a year, and soon after I arrived debit card linked to my apple ID expired. When I enter the information for the new card itunes simply refers me to the itunes support website.
I think that itunes wants me to sign up for the itunes store for Italy, but I am unsure if switching stores will delete my purcheses. I also would like to keep the language in english, if possible.
The way I see it there are two viable options:
How do I access the United States itunes store while in Italy?
OR
Does accessing the Italian itunes store delete my previous purchases, and can I change the language to English?

If I view another country's store on my Mac's iTunes then the content headings (Music, Movies etc) remain in English, as are the Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store homepage, though some of items in the store display in the language of the country that I've chosen
Changing iTunes language : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242
Note: No matter what you set your language to, some content on the iTunes Store (such as album names and movie names) will still display in their original language; it is mostly the navigation buttons, tabs, and so on which will be affected by changing the language.

"The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

this just started w/ me yesterday. I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere. I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit". Download is useless because I'm already running the latest. Quit is pretty useless.
I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music. Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.

You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence AND ONLY while you are inside the borders of that country.

How do I change the way itunes stores my music?

When I look at my music library in the finder my itunes music is stored totally different than the way I have it in my itunes source list. This is creating annoyances for using front row for me. I want front row to organize my music exacty as I have it in my itunes source list. I think this all shoud have something to do with the default way that itunes stores music. Anyone know how to change this?

Franz,
Perhaps I'm not understanding your question, but Front Row should be displaying your music much as it is in iTunes.
You really shouldn't even have to concern yourself with the file structure that iTunes uses in it's library.

Updated to 10.4.1 on Itunes and now can no longer access the actual Itunes store ...

Now i have a bit more space, i can explain what is really properly wrong. The other day i updated my itunes to the 10.4.1 version and now can no longer access the Itunes store - whenever i try to do so i get the bar at the top gets to about half way then stops and nothing happens - on rare occasions however i am taken into a place that resembles the Itunes store but there is no detail and whenever i click on anything, NOTHING happens.
Now on a SUPER RARE occasion i'll get a notice that the request was timed out?
If ANYBODY can help me i'll be very grateful

Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!" You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3). I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store. My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5. Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs. I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store.
Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

How to stop automatic connection to itune store when opening itunes?

when ever i try to open i tunes without internet connection,a warning diallog box appears saying that 'itunes cannot connect to itunes store.check internet connection'.ive tried disabling store,podcasts and everythng in itune preferences but still doesnt make any change..please help me out..please..:(

There is no issue here. If you have no Internet connection, it's impossible to access the store, therefore iTunes will alert you with this message so you don't get confused. You can use all the other offline features on iTunes, so you shouldn't be going through so much trouble to solve something which isn't a problem. There is no way to stop iTunes automatically attempting to access the store when you open iTunes, so you'll have to deal that message. If I'm not getting the issue, please tell me.

How get around "Cannot connect with iTunes Store" when updating apps?

I have several Apps with updates indicated. When I select App Store, it goes to the updates but when I try to update, I get "Cannot connect with iTunes Store." But otherwise I can get to the iTunes Store itself. Where does "Report problem" appear? Not on my Touch (which is updated).

Try it from the computer that you sync with, then sync the updated apps over to the iPod.

HT201724 How can I view the tag itunes creates when it sound checks one file?

I thought the normalization info was saved in the tag with COMMENT ITUNNORM as descriptor.
But then I read one article that says it's not.
Besides, if I check the extended tags of a file that was normalized by sound check I see nothing.
How can I view this tag, what is it called?
I want to be able to create them indirectly.

Open the Finder's View menu and choose 'Show Status Bar'.

How do I access the Canadian iBooks store

Attempting to purchase a book I was told I needed to go the Canadian bookstore to finalize the purchase, yet I could not find an appropriate app.
Suspect I am over-complicating a simple process can someone help?

Where are you seeing the message, and are you in Canada with a Canadian iTunes account ? If you are in Canada then if you go into the iBooks app on your iPad and tap the Store button at the top left of the bookshelf then you should be taken to the Canadian ibookstore. If it's showing the wrong country's store in it for your account then try going to the bottom of the Books tab in the ibookstore and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section.

How can I access the Settings, Accounts section when it is greyed out?

I have successfully upgraded 4S to iOs7. When I go to check my email, I continually get the message that I need to read the new iCloud terms. When I click ok I am directed to the Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars page. The Accounts section is greyed out. I can't click on iCloud (to read the terms or to sign out to sign in with my new Apple ID) or any of the Accounts. The Mail and lower sections of Mail, Contacts, Calendars is accessible. On the Settings page, iCloud, FaceTime, Twitter/Facebook/Flickr/Vimeo are all greyed out as well.

Is there a way around to avoid the dutch iTunes store and to have access to the normal iTunes store?

I am living in the Netherlands and I can not access the normal iTunes store, I am redirected automatically to the Dutch iTunes store and I can not find what I want....is there a way around to avoid the dutch iTunes store??

There is no "normal itunes store". Each country has its own itunes store.
You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (as proven by the valid billing address on your credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

Accessing U.S. itunes store abroad?

Can I access the U.S. itunes store in Europe via my existing U.S. account? I.e., does it matter where I am if I'm using the same account I use in the U.S.? Can I access all the same content?
Thanks

I've been using gift cards and buying content from the US store with no problems until about 3 months ago. I can still connect, but the speed is extremely slow (1KB/sec). I heard a rumor that Apple is rejecting all foreign IP addresses accessing the US iTunes store. Can anyone confirm this?
Is there anyone from Malaysia who is experiencing the same problem? Our ISP in Malaysia has blocked ALL P2P ports because of some stupid reason that 20% of users use up 80% of bandwidth. The thing is, i know itunes only uses port 80 and 443. So, would it still be listed as a P2P sharing utility? I really hope someone can provide the solution to all this. Its driving me nuts!
