HT1918 How do I change country if I have a positive balance in my gift card?

HI. I have an Apple account set up with a gift card when I was in the US. It has a low positive balance which I canot buy anyting with. I am now working in Asia and wish to change the country of my Apple account. However, it would not allow me to since I have a positive balance in my account. However, there is nothing I can buy with the balance amount left in my gift card. Can anyone help me resolve this bottleneck?
Thanks,
Ed

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

    The MAS should use any credits first and then apply the remainder to a listed bank card.

  • HT1918 how do I change country with money on my account

    I only have $0.19 in my account and nothing is available on iTunes to spend my 19 cents on and it won't let me change the country I live in on my account until every last cent is spent, please help?!

    Hi Nene,
    You need to contact your local iTunes store and ask them to remove the remaining amount. Until you do that you won't be able to change countries.
    Can't tell if you are in the US, but if you are, here is a link to get you on your way....

  • [Microsoft Store][Profile][Billing] How Do I Change Country/Residence for Microsoft Account? Editing Your Microsoft Account Profile for Microsoft Store. SOLVED: Change Home Location

    Hello,
    I am experiencing problems with using my Microsoft Account for billing and purchasing apps in Windows store.
    I am using my old WLID that I've created several years ago, and I have obsolete information including my country residence there. Now when I go to
    https://billing.microsoft.com, I see that I have 2 profiles:
    Personal profile: US
    Business profile: Russia.
    Now the problem is that I want my personal profile be changed to Russia as well. Having US in the profile makes it impossible to make purchases from Microsoft Store because Store does not allow for changing country when making purchases via PayPal.
    Currently I have this information:
    I need the Country/Residence information to be changed to Russia. How do I do that?
    I am stuck.
    How do I change country for my Microsoft Account?
    If it's not possible, would I be able to continue using my Microsoft Account with old residence/country information while making purchases through a new Microsoft account where I have specified my current residence?
    Or is it the same as with Windows Phone 7:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2692008
    If yes, do I understand that I have to start all my 'virtual living' from scratch to use Microsoft Store? In other words, do I have to sign-in into Windows 8 with a new Microsoft Account that will have Russia specified as a Country/Region to purchase apps
    from Microsoft Store?
    If yes, can I use this new account only for purchasing apps while continuing to use my old account or all purchased apps are strictly tied to this new Microsoft Account I will use for purchasing?
    Thank you.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hello,
    Thanks to
    this post @ Microsoft Answers, I was able to make Microsoft Store use correct information of my current country residence.
    //The drawback in my case was that I lost the possibility to pay with Paypal, although Paypal supports payments in Russia, and, most importantly, I lost access to US marketplace, all comments/reviews are now in Russian. What a bummer! Honestly, I'd
    like to have access to US store... Seems like the only workaround it to switch Home location for the time I purchase an app and change back when the app is purchased.
    To change the Country/region data used for Payment and Billing in Microsoft Store,
    Press WindowsKey+W to show Start screen and focus on searching in
    Settings.
    Type 'region' (without quotes) and open Region dialog box when found.
    In the Region dialog switch to Location tab and change the country of choice in the
    Home location drop-down list.
    Click OK to apply changes and make them effective.
    Open Store and press WindowsKey+I to show settings charms then choose
    Your account.
    In the Your account screen click Add payment method to configure your payment settings that will be used for purchasing apps from Windows Store.
    Notice Country/region value has changed.
    This country will be specified in Country/residence within Payment and Billing in Microsoft Store app.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

  • How do I change country?

    I am trying to make a purchase. My current account is set to Norway but I have moved to the UK. Even when I *try* to change my country, iTunes store does not allow me to make the purchase with the new card details.
    --> How do I change country?
    --> Do I need to open an entirely new account?
    The box that pops up: "You are signed with an Apple ID that is not valid for use in the UK Store.  You may only purchase music from the Norwegian Store with this Apple ID."

    Djohannson,
    Assuming you are now physically in the UK, go to the home page of the iTunes Store, use the change country link to change to the UK, and then to payment information to enter your new billing credentials that are tied to your UK address.
    If you have any remaining credit balance in the Norway store, you must first ask iTunes Customer Service to clear it out before you do the above.

    You cannot change your iTunes country unless you are really moving to another country, nor can you change country association for a gift card.  Give it as a gift to a friend who lives in the country of origin for the card.
