HT2736 Gifting from one country to another

I live in Canada. I want to purchase Dr. Who for my son in the US. The green gift page says "gifts can only be redeemed in the store country from which they were originated. This gift will be redeemable only in the Canadian store".
Fine, I pay for a product from the Canadian Apple store and the recipient must take it from that stores inventory. Makes perfect sense. The question is, if I buy it from the Canadian store, send the gift email to a US customer, can the US costomer 1) even acces the Canadian store since their account will not work in that store, and b) can the Canadian product be downloaded to an American computer with an American IP address to a customer with an American Apple account?
Thanks for any help.

No, you can only gift content to people who are in the same country as you and whose account is also based in that country - so if you are in Canada with a Canadian account, you can only gift to other Canadian account holders in Canada, a US account holder won't be able to download it.

  • How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?

    How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?  I set up my itunes account in the United States and now I live in England.  I would like to transfer my purchases from my US account to my British account and then download them onto my new ipod.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and I have updated my Windows 7 operating system.  I have tried to get in touch with apple and the advisor said he could not help me.  Ideas? 

    Before you change the country, note the following:
    - you must use any remaining store credit on your account
    - download all purchased content
    - ensure you have no current rentals(if you do, you'll have to wait for them to expire)
    - provide a new payment(such as a credit or debit card) associated with a valid billing address in the UK or an iTunes Gift Card purchased in the UK
    - content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific. If you wish to upgrade any of your iTunes Store content to iTunes Plus, you'll need to do this before you change countries. The content you purchased while your account was set to the previous country will not be eligible for upgrade once you've changed countries.
    - after you change countries, you will no longer receive application update notifications in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country. However, you'll still receive update notifications on your iOS device for any applications installed on it. In addition, you'll be able to download previously purchased applications again for free if they are available on your new country's store. You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased application is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again for free.
    - If you have an iTunes Match subscription, you can't change countries until the subscription has expired.
    - If you have purchased a Season Pass, you cannot change the country associated with your account until that season is done airing and the last episode of the season has been added to the iTunes Store.
    Taking the above into consideration, here's how to change your country:
    1. Open iTunes and click Sign In.
    2. Enter your iTunes Store account name and password, then click Account Info.
    3. On the Apple Account Information page, click Change Country or Region.
    4. Enter the updated information and save your changes.

  • How to change app store from one country to another then your contry of residence

    How you can switch from one country app store to another country app store the your country of residence.

    You can only use the store in the country where you are - to use another country's store you will need to be in that country and have a valid billing address in that country on your account. If there is a particular item that you would like to buy then you can try requesting that it be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the content provider (app developer, record company, film studio etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • HT204023 What is 'sim pin' under Cellular data on my iPad mini?  How do I use that and change cards from one country to another?

    I have a new ipad mini with retina display, and cellular capability.
    I've learned how to set up an account and use it in the US.  I'm now traveling internationally and need to learn about changing the sim card.
    My first question is about the notation under 'settings', Cellular Data, SIM PIN.  Under SIM PIN, there is an option of turning on 'sim pin' and then entering a PIN to lock the SIM.
    What does SIM PIN mean in the first place?
    Where does the PIN number come from?
    Thankx.
    SusanFrances

    A SIM PIN, also referred to sometimes as a PUK Code is like a PIN number for your SIM card (just like your ATM Card).  Since your SIM card has your cellular account on it and can be typically removed from one device and put into another, you can lock the SIM Card with a SIM PIN if you choose.  If you activate the SIM PIN feature and forget your SIM PIN when you try to re-activate your device or a new device in the future using the same SIM Card, you may have to contact you carrier to get a new SIM Card. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1316
    As far as changing the SIM Cards out because you want to use a new carrier, you can remove the SIM card fomr the old carrier and put in the SIM  card form the new carrier. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5163
    I hope this helps clear things up.

  • Can you transfer a gift card from one country to another?

    I used to live in New Zealand and a friend gave me a $50 gift card before I left as a going-away present. I currently live in the United States and am unable to use this gift card. Is there any way I could transfer the 50 New Zealand dollars into the equivalent amount of United States dollars (about 41 US dollars)? I would not like to see $50 go to waste.
    Is there any way at all for me to use this money?

    Gift Cards are only valid in Country of issue.

  • HT201303 HOW CAN I CHANGE AN STORE FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER ONE?

So I have incountable times done it without success. Just some minutes back I talked with my bank to verify if was some mistake but everything it is fine. So, I need to know what is it the problem and how can I solve it.
    Thank you for your help..
    Cesar
    PS. I have some gift card  ro redeem in USA store but I can't because my credit  card is salvadorean. So I need to change to USA store, thanks for your help.

    You cannot purchase from the US iTunes Store unless you are physically present in and have a mailing address in the US. You are not allowed to use the US store from El Salvador even though you may have a US-issued gift card or debit card.

  • HT1689 On my ipad, how do i change the store account from one country to another

    I keep getting a message to change the store account, sign out, then sign in from another store.

    Go to the App Store, Tap on the Featured tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and tap on your ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to Country/Region, and change the store in there.

  • I recently moved from one country to another

    I bought my iPod in Germany and was using iTunes there until recently when I moved to London. iTunes will let me change the billing address but NOT the country. This is utterly infuriating. I am also about to move to Melbourne Australia. Is there any work around or do I really have to have three separte accounts? Does Apple really assume that everyone just stays at home and never moves country?????

    I believe so. I have the same problem. Brcause of the billing adress I am unable to buy some items on I tunes. I complaint to Apple but didnt got a straight foward answer. Unfortunatelly maybe the three separate accounts will be the easiest and less frustrating solution

  • Transfer of emp from one PA to another PA in same comp or diff comp code

    Dear Members,
    I have been struck with new requirement from client. During transfer case of employees from one PA to another PA (personal Area) the pernr doesnt changes within same company code or different company code.
    My client needs if a employee has been transfered from one PA to another PA then automatically the Personal no. should change. It should happen for both within same company code or different company code, and his / her entiltled leaves should not be lossed, because its only tranfer case.
    In current scenario, pernr doesnt change at all whether it may be same or different compant code.
    guide me to resolve this with any configuration needed.
    Chandan

    or you can also have this triggered in the action like In case of global mobility when an employee transfers from one country to another we transfer all his personal details to the new Pernr and have a link between both the pernr's you can ask the programmer to create a dynamic action that transfers all the current existing master data info types to the new Pernr

    How do I transfer an Itunes gift card from one account to another ? I do not remember my password or know my security questions.

    You can't do it yourself. If you've just redeemed it and not spent any of it then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can move it the other account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • TS1702 Change from one country App Store to another country

    How doe one change from one country App Store to another country ????

    When I try to change my country in the Account section of the App Store (and the ITunes Store)  I receive the message "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores."
    I am unable to understand the reason for this and can't find a way around this. The amount of credit remaining in my account is less than the price of any App or Song.
    I am also concerned after reading other threads that if I change countries, whether the Apps purchased in one country will still be available in the new country.
    Some have proposed using credit cards to change the country for the account, but  accounts funded through vouchers exclusively should be able to be able to change countries without this requirements.
    Thanks in advance for any solutions or comments.
