HT201389 Update apps purchased in another country's App Store?

Will I be able to update apps purchased in another country's App Store?

I already have this mess. No you will not. Unless you change back to the country that you bought the app from. Oh, but then you run into the problem that you need a valid address and payment method from that country.
So no, if you move to another country, Apple will steal all your apps.

  • Can I update apps purchased in another country

    Hi. I live in Japan and I've purchased the some iPhone and Mac apps in the Japanese iTunes App Store. Now I am moving to Brazil and I want to keep the same Apple user id, but my billing info will change, so I won't be able to use the Japanese iTunes store anymore. I should be able to access the Brazilian store instead, because the country of my billing info will change. Even free updates are considered "buying" so I am concerned I might not be able to update my apps because updates need to happen in the store of the country where you originally purchased the app.
    Can I update in the Brazilian store an app purchased in the Japanese store? Any tips or suggestions?

  • Purchasing from another country's iTunes store

    Hi,
    I am based in Australia and use iTunes extensively to buy music. Some of the songs that I am after are not available on the Australia iTunes store, but are on the US site. Is there a (legal) way to purchase these songs?
    Rael

    Hi, Rael.
    Is there a (legal) way to purchase these songs?
    Unless you happen to have a residence and credit card billing address in the States, unfortunately there isn't.
    The reason why has to do with the business part of the music business so, for a bit of insight into the present situation, let's have a look at to This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel) :
    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.

  • I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • How to replace a faulty iPhone4 in India (purchased in another country, still in warranty?)

    I would like to know how to find a replacement for a faulty iPhone4 in India (purchased in another country, which is still under warranty?)
    Please help. Thankx.

    Expanding on what RG said, the warranty on an iPhone, with the exception of those purchased in the European Union, is country-specific, so you will need to send the iPhone back to a friend or relative in the country in which the iPhone was original sold to take or send it to Apple or the appropriate service provider. You will not be able to get the iPhone serviced in India.
    Regards.

  • Apple ID and purchase in another country

    Can an old apple ID for another country be used for purchase from another country???

    Not unless you are physically in the country whose iTunes Store you wish to use and can provide a payment method issued in that country. If so, then you can change the country of your iTunes Store account to that new country.
    Regards.

  • Cannot purchase from another country's iTunes....

    I know we cannot purchase from another country's iTunes, but how about if someone in that country gifted songs to us? For example, my wife here in the U.S. wants stuff from the Japanese iTunes store but can't buy it; can her sister in Japan "gift this song" to her? Thanks.

    No, you can only successfully gift to people who are in the same country as yourself - the gifting may appear to go though, but your wife won't be able to redeem it

  • Still need a password to update apps purchased by another Family Sharing member!

    On iOS 8.1, I can enter App Store app, tap on the Purchased tab at the bottom, and then tap the upper-left corner to choose one of the members in the same Family Sharing members, then tap on the "download cloud" icon next to any apps purchased by that member. Doing so, I don't need to enter the password that Family Sharing member's Apple ID.  But, whenever apps, those purchased by other Family Sharing members, have an update, I would need to change the Apple ID to that Family Sharing member and enter the password, in order to enable the app update. Or, those apps will stay on the Updates page of the App Store app, waiting to be updated, forever. 
    How can the app update of apps purchased by other Family Sharing members be set automatic?

    No. To update apps you have to sign intot he account that purchased them.
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    Just purchase the apps with your account

  • Can multiple users access apps purchased from another Apple ID account?

    I have several iMacs under my control. I need to find a way to download iLife using one Apple ID, so I can have all users on each machine to also have access to the updated iLife suite.
    Is it possible for other users to access an app that was purchased from another Apple ID. If one purchases an app, does the machine allow access to all the users?
    (I know those two last sentences are redundant, but I want to make sure everyone understands problem).
    I've read countless articles on this, and can't seem to catch a break from the problem.

    If this is in a school of some type or a corporate learning center with multipple Mac computers you should contact Apple directly and ask them for help in getting a version that can be installed on multiple Mac with out have to down the updates to each computer individually.

  • Buy App while in another country?

    I have seen numerous posts about trying to change stores, etc., but I haven't seen an answer to this:
    If you have an Apple ID and it is linked to the US store, what do you do when you are travelling the globe and are phyiscally in another country?  Can you not just accept the message that says you can only buy in the US store and till get a free Google App or whatever downloaded to your phone?
    We are SOOOO frustrated with this.  We have sveral iPhones, iPads, Airbooks, etc etc etc.  We have numerous homes around the world and a yacht and constantly are moving back and forth through Europe, the US and elsewhere.  We are hardly going to go open bank accounts in every country on the planet and our credit cards are used everywhere in the world.
    How on earth are we supposed to be in the UK or France or Portugal or Russia and be able to download a FREE app for something like Google when we need it if we are constantly told we can only buy in the US store or whatever that Apple ID is linked to?  Why can't we say 'sure buy from the USA we don't care about the VAT or the exchange rate or whatever", we need the app at the moment!
    There must be a work around for this, esp for free apps that aren't buying anything!
    Is there an answer to this?
    Thanks!

    when we need it if we are constantly told we can only buy in the US store or whatever that Apple ID is linked to?
    That is correct.

  • How to replace an App purchased by another Apple ID?

    There is a free app purchased from an abondoned Apple ID while other apps are from the current Apple ID.  So, I want to download the free app again with the current Apple ID.  But there are data with the app, so deleting it and download again means the data will be erased.
    How can I replace the app using the current Apple ID and retain all data?  (I have Time Machine backup).

    I meant after changing the Apple ID, I purchase it again. It keeps on asking me to update it with the initial Apple ID.
    You need to Delete the Old App and then get it again using Your Current Apple ID.
