HT204266 iTunes account store change

I am from Canada and when I was in the states a couple of weeks ago I tried updating a couple of apps. Now my phone is stuck on the US account and won't switch to the Canadian account. How do I get it to switch?

"Why are the iTunes stores separate? "
Because this is how Apple has set up the itunes store.
"Why can't we just buy the music we want to, regardless of where it's been added? "
Because this is how Apple has set up the itunes store.
Very likely at the demand of the recording industry.

  • Can't create iTunes account or change country of iTunes store

    Hello,
    I hope this is the correct place to post this question.
    I am set up my iTunes account, and the problem I'm running into has to do with the 'country' setting.
    Going through the account setup process, at the credit card information screen, I click the link in order to change countries. I select 'Canada', and click 'Change Country'. At this point I am sent back to the iTunes store main page, which is set to the United States.
    If I scroll to the bottom of the main store page, and select 'Canada' to change the country setting manually, I get the error, "Could not complete the iTunes store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
    I have checked my Norton Internet Security firewall settings. I have cleared the DNS cache. The iTunes store functions normally in other ways, i.e. I can play song previews.
    If anyone can help me fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated!

    Are they linked to my iTunes account so I could then be able to re-install them on a newer 4th Gen iPod Touch?
    I'm re-reading your message and not sure what you mean by wanting to re-install them to a newer ipod? They won't be able to purchase from your account after you restore as new your old ipod if that's what you're asking. But you could still sync "their" ipod with your iTunes library.
    If you're asking about setting up a newer ipod for yourself, here's how you want to do that. Before you do that Restore on your old ipod follow these steps:
    1)Connect your older ipod to itunes, right click on the device and Transfer Purchases to bring over any Apps & Music you purchased on your touch at the itunes store but isn't on your computer.
    2)Also right click and choose to Backup your ipod.
    In [iPhone and iPod touch: About backups|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766] > About Syncing and Backups >iTunes will back up the following information you will find the list of what's included in backups.
    Please note backups do not include data like music from your CD's or Apps (although App data is backed up). In step #1 you transferred to your PC any Apps or Music purchased from the iTunes store. It's up to you to make sure you have any other music in your iTunes library.
    3) Connect your new device. iTunes will give you the opportunity to restore from a backup. Select the backup you just made.
    4)Finally, sync the device selecting the Music, Photos, etc that are in your iTunes library but were not part of the backup data.
    Hope that helps.

  • No option on itunes account to change authorization of my computer

    switched from a ipod shuffle to the ipod touch, transferred itunes successfully and what not. Now cannot get the music in my library to download to the touch and it says because my computer is not authorized to do so. So, following apple instructions I went on my itunes account and there is no option to change the authorization of my computer. help!

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • How can i add an already existing iphone to a different itunes account without changing anything on the actual phone...just updating it?

    I have an iphone synced to my iTunes account.  But I need to add another used/existing iphone to my account to update it.  I do not want to sync my emails/contacts/apps, etc. from my computer/iTunes to this new iPhone.  This 2nd iPhone already has existing apps and is in use.
    Is there any way that I can do this without changing anything on the existing iPhone?  All I need to do is update it to the iOS 5.0.1. 
    Thanks!

    Thanks so much for the response!  You have been helpful and quick! 
    It wasn't my phone, hence the reason we didn't want to share/take each other's content (apps, contacts, music, photos, etc.).  But the owner's phone hadn't been able to update because of a computer crash/no access to a stable computer.  So, I just wasn't sure if we could do an update without sharing content. 
    But you most definitely answered my question!  So, thank you!

  • Get rid of leftover cents from itunes account to change country?

  • Email/iTunes account name change

    How do I change the iTunes account/Apple ID that backs up my iPhone?  The email address has changed and I can't find a way to redirect it.

    Your purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID (account) used to purchase them.  They can't be moved to another account and you can merge accounts.  You can start making new purchases with your iCloud ID if you want, but you will end up with two sets of purchases under two different IDs, adding further complication to your life.
    Also, your @icloud email address is an alias of your existing @me address; emails sent to either address will be routed to the same inbox.  You can decide which one you want to use as your default (as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441) but you can't separate them.

  • I am trying to get into my iTunes account to change credit cards but an unable to???

    I am trying to get into the iTunes store to change my credit card number but can only get into the store showing products.

    Hello there Sweebs44,
    It sounds like you are tapping the Game Center app to open it, but the screen is blank. I recommend signing out of your account:
    Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
    Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
    From: iPhone User Guide
              http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6c493cac
    Then close all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone sign back into your account and try again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • HT1203 how do I share some music on same itunes account without changing music using same itunes account, but two different ipod touches

    I need to know how to stop losing / adding music I like/ dont like to my and my brothers ipod.  I gave him my older ipod(2nd Gen) with music on it already. I bought a ipod (3rd Gen) also. Both devices are registered to me; but I gave my brother the older one.  Now when either of us add / delete music it affects both ipods when either one on us sync.  We use the same computor(windiws7), he uses his own account on the computor, butit accesses the same itune/ library.  How can we split the itunes music between the two ipods?

    Hi gail,
    Thanks for the quick reply! The music part makes sense, good to know I don't have to duplicate the lot. The big question stillr emains as to whether iTunes can cope with two different iPhones, running different versions of the iOS, and therefore different app versions.
    Currently all the apps in iTunes are years old, and many haven't updated in months (years?) because the 3G is running iOS 4.2.1 (and can't be upgraded). Many of these have since been updated in the iTunes store (for the various incarnations of iPhone since) and the old versions that my 3G requires have been replaced.
    I'm worried that syncing the 4S running iOS 5, and running the most recent updates for same apps, will cause iTunes to overwrite the old 3G compatible ones when I sync. Unless iTunes is smart enough to know which version of the app is for which OS, without updating the legacy version when I update the apps on the 4S?
    You guys shouldn't face that problem, as iPad and iPhone apps don't replace each other (I believe? Not sure about this) as new updates are released for each app, you'd have a copy for each device (for example Evernote for iPad, and Evernote for iPhone). I can't figure out if iTunes can handle keeping separate iPhone versions for Evernote iOS 4.2.1 and Evernote for iOS 5. My gut feeling is no, but I want to amke sure before I lose the legacy versions of each app.
    Of course, maybe I'm just paranoid and iTunes is in fact perfectly capable of keeping old and new apps in the same library?
    Cheers

  • ITunes Country/Store Change

    I'm a big House music fan, but am not finding anything I like on the US iTunes store. When browsing the UK store I find everything I can get in the US and more, but when I try to switch my account (country) it tells me I need a 'valid address' in the United Kingdom. COME ON! As long as I'm paying you (would be even more with £) why can't I choose to have a UK account?! Is there any way to at least purchase songs from the UK store, I'll create a new account if necessary, ANYTHING!
    Thanks,
    Damian

    Basic answer - no
    Reason - Content owners of those items have not authorized them for US distribution through iTMS.
    Remedy - move to UK or at least try to get a UK based credit card (or see if you can get an import CD somewhere else)

  • ITunes Mini Store Change - Thanks Apple

    According to reports today Apple has listened to we users and has now made a change to the Mini Store which alerts people to Opt in or Out at the time of upgrade or download of v 6.02
    Thanks for listening and making the necessary adjustment
    Just reinforces that Apple does Think Different

    I am having the same issue. No one has an answer yet?

  • Changing Itunes account settings over internet

    Hi
    Odd situation. We have emigrated and our mac is happily travelling by boat to Australia. We have also just bought an iphone.
    Problem is that I have cancelled the credit card that is associated with the itunes account so need to change it to a new card, but don't have my mac. Is there a website in Apple where I can change this, or can I do it on any other mac? Don't want o make life complicated for me when I reset the old mac up.
    Thanks
    Sam

    Three years ago, I joined .mac and have an Apple ID there, as well.
    I'm switching internet providers, and will thus soon lose the email account that my iTunes account is liked with.
    Change the AppleID to the your new email account. Go here -> https://appleid.apple.com
    The iTunesID can stay what it is, even if you do not have the same email. It is simply the name of the iTunes account.
    Change the email used in the iTunesID. In iTunes, select Store then click on the Account name at top right.
    Select View account and update your email address.
    My question is, can I change my iTunes account over to my other Apple ID, the one associated with my .mac account?
    No. For whatever reasons, Apple has not made this available to do. I think they should.
