HT1918 My Apple ID (email address) is somehow registered to the US store even though I live in the UK. Can I close the US account and open a UK one with the same ID/email?

My Apple ID (email address) is somehow registered to the US store even though I live in the UK. Is there any way I can close the US account and open a UK one with the same ID/email?

No, but you can change the country of your iTunes Store account. Sign into your iTunes Store account and click the "change country" link. You'll need a valid UK credit card to complete the change. If you have any credit balance remaining, you'll need to contact the iTunes Store to clear that for you before you'll be able to change the country.
Note that if you purchased anything from the US iTunes Store, you probably will not be able to re-download it nor update apps once you change the country. So you may prefer to set up a new email address so you can create a new account in the UK iTunes Store. You can change the email address to which receipts and other notices are sent to your actual email address, if you prefer.
Regards.

    My email address changed and I had to delete my account and create a new one with the new address. After I did this all of the data in my iPhone calendar is gone. How can I recover this vital data?

    It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.

    You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
    Your choices are:
    --Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
    --Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
    Good luck.

  • Why does selecting a web link open 2 windows, one with the link and the other the home page? This is a single click of the mouse.

    When I single click on a weblink (usually in an email, Firefox starts up and opens two windows; one with the selected web page and one with my home page. If Firefox is running, it opens a new tab which is what normally occurs. It is only when it is not open that I now get the 2 windows. I have an imac running OSX 10.6.3
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == In the past couple of weeks.

    Hi,
    The rolling over from radius servers only occurs on the same wlan and only when the controller deems the radius server being dead. However, if you get rejected from one WLAN but then you reassociate to another WLAN there is no mechanism in place in rejecting the attempt because they previously failed on a seperate wlan. This happens all the time with users connecting on incorrect wlans.
    The failover feature is for when you have multiple servers (usually for redundancy) on the same WLAN. So when user is rejected but radius server 1 the process stops there and the request isnt sent to radius server 2.
    Hope that helps!

    You should only make purchases for all your devices using a single Apple ID.  There is no need, and indeed a good reason not to, set up a new Apple ID with each new device purchase.  While items purchased under different IDs can be played on a single device, you cannot merge Apple IDs and it makes it cumbersome.
    Apple IDs do not expire but may become dormant and require reactivation if they are not actively used.
    You should make note of your Apple ID and passwords and keep a record of it.  Like a bank account it contains access to items with value.  Update your Apple ID email address as they change.
    I see you were guided to this forum by a help page on recovering your password.  If that is not sufficient try the links below.  Apple will need to verify you are indeed to owner of the accounts to which you are trying to gain access.

  • I am experiencing problems with my i phone due to sharing my daughters i tunes acoount. I have been told by apple to cancel my existing (shared) i tunes account and open a new one for my use only. How do I do this? Please help. RM

    I am experiencing on going problems with my i phone 4 due to me sharing an i tunes account with my daughter. I have been told by apple to cancel my existing (shared) i tunes account and open a new one for my use only. How do I do this? I cant find any links in i tunes to do this. mountfield

    No, it's done on the computer, it's just done on the web and not through iTunes. I guess you could do it on the iPhone, but it would be easier to do on the computer.
    Just go to the site linked above, then click on the big blue button and fill out the neccessary information.

  • HT204266 I can not log into the App Store, even though I am logged in to iTunes. ? Help please :)

    I can not log into the App Store, even though I am logged in to App Store and my password is entered into the settings. This appended after I accidentally switched to the British version of iTunes and I logged out and back in to get to the US. Now, I keep getting an error message that I can not log into the App Store. I have tried updating it to the computer and restarting, but still keep getting the error message. Help please! :)

    I am afraid all apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and are not transferable.
    Your son have to buy those apps with his own Apple ID and start from scratch.

  • Why do I have to sign in to the app store even though the download is free?

    Because all content that you download from the iTunes stores is coated with your Apple ID.

  • I delete my iCloud account and got a new one but the previous iCloud account is keep showing up.what do I do??

    You have to sign out of the old one and then sign back in with the new one. On an iOS device it's Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just disengage the device from it). On a Mac it's System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.

  • When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as google) I get a message that it could not find the loaction. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened.

    When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as Google) I get a message that it could not find the location. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened. Then when I close the window I see that the message is still there. I have to close it separately. Any suggestions? Oh, and this only happens if Firefox is NOT already active. If I have another Firefox window open when I click on the Icon, it just opens as expected. This message appears no matter which site Icon I select. It did not happen before I upgraded to ver 9.0.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to, and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet.  This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade.  Please advise.

    Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to (click Always trust this site option), and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet.  This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade.  Please advise.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
    1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
    3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.

  • I am trying to setup a new Apple ID but it tells me the email address I want to us is in use even though I have deleted it as the secondary address for mother id

    I Am trying to set up a new AppleID but it tells me the email address I wish to use as the ID is in use.  It was the rescue address for another account but I have deleted that.  What do I need to do to get it to recognise the email address as a new one. I cannot set up iCloud without an ID

    Email addresses can only ever be used once in an Apple ID. They cannot be deleted from one Apple ID and moved to another.
