Ivory Coast not in the iTunes Store's list of countries? Country on iTunes Store cannot be changed to Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire)

Hi,
I would like to know if Apple is planning to add more African countries to its list of Itunes Store countries (and if so aproximately when).
NYC or in London.
Here is my issue. I have moved from London to Abidjan (Ivory Coast) over a year ago and my foreign bank cards have recently expired which means any payments with these are now impossible. I will get my new cards during my next trip to the UK in 6 months.
I have been trying to make several purchases and most recently to upgrade from Mac OS 10.6.8 to OS X Mountain Lion but I can't because it is currently impossible to change the Itunes Store country to IVORY COAST/ Cote d'Ivoire (from the United Kingdom).
To top it off, although it is now possible to make iTunes payments trough www.clickandbuy.com (was excited and went through the process of setting up, verifying and prefunding a Clickandbuy account to make my OS X Mountain Lion payment) iTunes refuses a payment if the country of the credit/debit card registered with Clickandbuy (Ivory Coast) is different from that of the iTunes store country (United Kingdom).
This is a huge disappointment because I fail to understand why one would use Click and Buy or Paypal or ay other similar secured online payment service to make a payment in Itunes if one can use iTunes directly. What was the point of adding Click and Buy as a mean of payment in the first palce? and if they were able to verify my account, then why can't Apple do the same especially when I am an existing client?
Seriously this means Apple customers from certain African countries are being discriminated, if I was based in Cotonou or Accra, I would be allowed to change my store to Benin or Ghana and make payments with a local credit card. This is not fair.
Apple pls you have to do something about this Country issues in the iTunes Store!
Thanks

TS3297 Error when I use search function in itunes store and select an artist

When I use search function in itunes store and select an artist I get this message. Microsoft visual C++ run time library. Prog C:\progfiles\itunes\itunes.exe R6025 - Pure virtual function call . It then shuts down itunes and cannot provide a solution.
Have tried reinstalling itunes but it did not help. Any other ideas?

I have yet to find a solution, but as a work around, do not click or select any of the suggested results while you are typing in your search. Type in your search, and press enter.

Will the Hong Kong iTunes store movie selection be expanded and will TV shows be made available?

Will the Hong Kong iTunes store movie selection be expanded and will TV shows be made available?
This is a determining factor as to whether I will buy an Apple TV.
So far the movie selection is around 150 only with no TV shows available. Having said that the HD playback is flawless!

We're all just fellow users here and as such have no information as to where Apple's negotiations with the HK movie and TV show owners might stand. It's totally up to those owners, and even in the US, the content owners have been reluctant. We'll all just have to wait and see.

Change iTunes Store country without a credit card

Hi,
- I have a Philippine iTunes store account WITHOUT a credit card on file, which I've been using for a few years now
- I wanted to buy an app but I don't have a credit card so I used my dad's credit card (with his permission of course). His billing address is in QATAR, so I changed my iTunes store account to QATAR.
- I successfully bought the app and want to change the country to Philippines again
- When I do, it's asking for a credit card, which I don't have. The "none" option is gone
Is there a way to change it back? I really need to because the Qatar app store is crappy (lots of missing apps).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

To change the country associated with your iTunes Store account, you must provide a payment method, such as a credit or debit card associated with a valid billing address in the new country. Also, in which country do you reside? In accordance with the iTunes Store Terms of Sale, items on any particular country's iTunes Store are available only for distribution to customers who reside in that country and use a credit or debit card issued in and for that country.
You can review the iTunes Store Terms of Sale for more information:

What happens by changing iTunes Store Country?

Hi and thanks for reading.
I have an Italian iTunes Store account with about 350 purchased apps.
If I change my settings to a new store, i.e. US, by using an US credit card, can anybody confirm that I am supposed to be able to keep all my 350 apps in my HD and ready to be syncronized?
The extra questions are these:
When I am working with the US Apple ID:
1) what about the updates that are coming for the old Italian Applestore Apps?
2) can I download from the cloud the apps that I bought in the past from my Italian account and that are not in my iOS devices anymore?
Thank you.
Cheers

I have had issues with similar things. It appears that while the already downloaded Apps still work, updates (at least through iTunes) will not work after you switch country. I was told by Apple support that this is indeed the case. This being especially strange in my case as I changed store within the EU, and stayed within the same market.
While understandable for music / movies (that you cannot redownload) from a legal perspective (not that it is logical) and less of an issue with music since you can just keep a backup and you never need to upgrade the music, it makes no sense for apps to disable redownload / updates of apps that you have bought.

Change iTunes Store Country

Hello,
I am from Berlin, Germany. If I want to log in to the German iTunes Store, it says that I am not allowed. It seems I am only allowed to use the Chinese iTunes store.
The historical reason is, that I first used my MacBook in China (I lived there as expat) and logged in to iTunes store from a Chinese IP address.
When I browsed this forum, I saw a lot of legal discussions, that you should not use a store from another than your country. But this is not the case for me, as I am a German, and I am in Germany, and I can NOT access the German iTunes store.
How can I change my iTunes store account, that I can use the German iTunes store?
Thx,
kinnla

thx for the reply, Diane!
Recently, I ordered a photo calendar and already changed the credit card, billing- and shipping address of my apple ID to Germany.
I tried the following to access German iTunes Store:
1. open the German iTunes store
2. press "sign in"
3. enter my apple ID and password
4. Now a popup comes, telling me my billing information was changed outside of iTunes. I can only press one button (chinese already, I guess it is 'OK')
5. Now I am logged in (can see my username on the top right corner). It is still the Germand store site. On the top there is the status "accessing iTunes"
6. After about 5s, the site "Edit Payment Information" appears. It says: "There were errors or omissions in the information. Please correct the indicated items." And then printed in red: "Your account information has changed. Please review your billing information and approve it for use in the iTunes Store. If you cancel, you will not be able to buy music until you have approved your billing information." It shows my German address in Berlin correctly, but country is fixed to China. So no way to change it here.
In fact, this is where I hang. I tried the following:
7. Press the right button of the lower two ones. It is Chinese languge again, I guess it is 'continue'.
8. Now it is printed in red: "The <chinese word> must be a 6-digit number". This is related to my postal code. Postcodes are 5 digits in Germany, in China they are 6.
Then I gave up.
Now, after writing these lines, I tried again and found a way:
1. In the iTunes menu, press Store -> View my Account
2. Now it shows my account info, still in Chinese, and I am able to change my country.
3. Change country to Germany.
4. Language changes to German, I need to confirm the AGB
5. Now I can access the German store.
So again, thanks for your hints, Diane! It led me to the solution.
Regards,

HT5085 iTunes Store Country Limitation in iTunes Match

Thanks.
