HT204053 How do I change the country store associated to my account?

I am currently in the United States and try to download some free apps tells me that my account is not valid in this country store, so I should change to my country store. How do I do this?
Can I change the country associated to my account instead? How?
Thanks in advance for the help!

"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country."
This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
From here >  The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
This applies to free apps as well.

  • HT204053 How can I change the iCloud id associated with my iPad?

    How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

    To change the ID for:
    iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
    iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data.

    How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

    If you mean for iMessage and FaceTime, the number is based on the iPhone number you set up iMessage and FaceTime on.  If that number is no correct, sign out of these services on both your iPhone and iPad by tapping the ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime) and selecting sign out.  Then sign in first on your iPhone and confirm that the phone number is correct.  Then sign in on your iPad.

    How can I change the apple ID associated with my ICloud account?

    Hello pscorning1,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

  • TS3988 how do you change the email address associated to my account

    how do you change the email address associated to my account

    Your description doesn't make it entirely clear what you are trying to do. Your Apple ID - which you use to log in to iCloud - is a non-Apple email address and you can change this. You may also have a 'rescue' address (advisable) which is a non-Apple email address and you can change that. The @icloud.com address you set up when you opened the iCloud account can not be changed, but has nothing directly to do with Hotmail (other than that being the login).
    What you can do is add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

  • How can I change the country from my apple id account ?

    Hello , I changed my credit card and I need to change the country field from my Apple ID account, for some reason it's unaccessable . Can you please tell me how to change the country field ? thanks

    Do you currently have a credit balance in your Store account, ayman? If so, you'll need to spend that in order to change your country.

  • How can I change the country in my personal Adobe Account details

    In the Adobe Account, when updating my details, it states that when changing country, in my case from Germany to United Kingdom, I have to ask via this method using the customer service - it reads "Wenn Sie ein anderes Land auswählen möchten, wenden Sie sich bitte an den Kundendienst." So here I am. I have never used this before and have no idea how to see the answer if any are posted.
    Why make it so difficult, it must be very common in Europe that people move around nowadays. Why can't I update my details?
    I can't read German that well but my account is all in German, at least have an option to change languages.
    Thanks

    Hi 7oaksGaz,
    1) Due to tax reasons, it's not possible to change the country associated with an existing Adobe ID.
    Follow the steps mentioned in the below link as a workaround to create an Adobe ID with the email address you currently use for the existing Adobe ID.

    2) You can change the language of the application from AAM preferences
    Please find the link below for the article with the steps

  • How do I change the email address associated with this account?

    I can find no option to update the email address associated with this account. This is causing a problem since the Apple Support Communities ID that I use is different than my iTunes account name, but the email address for both is the same. it's causing all sorts of weirdness with Game Center, logging into this site with my iTunes account (errors out), etc.
    I see no options in preferences ot update this account email address.
    Am I missing something obvious?

    Well 99% there anyway. Now that I've successfully updated my email address, it asked me to merge the new email address as the login, which is fine, so I did that, but now I no longer see the option to edit the "Username" value.
    What I'm trying to do here is to retire my username under this account, and take it on under my primary iTunes account. It won't let me do that while this old account has it reserved.
    Hopefully that makes sense
    Once I merged my new primary email address with this account, the 'Username' field disappeared and now just shows the new email address with no option to edit the friendly 'Username' *sigh*.

  • HT204053 How do I change the country of residence in my apple ID? It says that I can't until I use all of the credits, but I have 64 cents, there's no way I can spend that. I'm down to donate it somewhere if that helps.

    I do not reside in the US anymore, and this does not allow me to register my Russian credit card and actually use iTunes or the hotel booking app properly.

    Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They can clear the remaining balance for you so you can change countries. You may, however, wish to just create a new iTunes Store account in the Russian store. Otherwise you may lose the ability to update any apps you purchased in the US store.
    Regards.

  • HT1918 How do you change the country or origin in the iTunes store and zero out the remaining balance?

    As above.... how do you change the country of origin in the iTunes store when you already have a balance in another country, in my case the balance is $0.03. At the moment I can't change the country because of this balance and have attempted to zero it out, but no luck yet. Any suggestions?

    Contact iTS to have them cashout your account, and aid in changing the nationality.
