I am based in UK and want to buy an App from the US store. How do I do this?

Is it possible to buy an app from the US store whilst registered in the UK?

You cannot.
You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the issuing country of your credit card and the valid billing address of that card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
You cannot use other countrys itunes store.

HT4059 i have an Australian itunes account but want to buy a book from the us site, how can I do this

I wish to buy a book that is only available in the US store but my itunes account is only for the Australian store - is there a way I can still buy this book. Sorry I am only just learning all this.

How come I can buy foreign books through Amazon as e-book, but the same book can't be downloaded from iTunes? That doesn't makes sense.
Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
Amazon allows it, iTunes does not. That is why. Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public. It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true. Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.
Sorry

The US Apple Store accepts US-issued credit cards only. And they will ship only to a US address. Whether or not a physical Apple Store would accept a Lebanese credit card I don't know.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Buy an iTunes card which are available in many retail locations
as well as on line and redeem it in the AppStore so
you can purchase the app you have in mind. The iTunes
card must be from the same country as the AppStore
you are using which should be the same as your country
of residence.

You would have to buy it separately. Refurbished machines are sold as they were originally configured so you cannot customize the machine when you order it.

Ok, so I just worked out that itunes communicates through your browser so it's a cookie in the browser not PC direct that fixes this. Bit of a convoluted route but for me it was IE>Internet setting>privacy>sites, then allow all activity from apple.com/itunes.

Can I buy a song from another iTunes Store (Example, I'm on Mexico and I want to buy an album from the UK store)?

I want to buy intimacy (remixed) by bloc party and it's only available in UK Store.

Yes, if you move to or visit the UK and supply a valid UK payment method. Otherwise, no.

I want to buy an iPhone from the apple store is it work in the Middle East

Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases! It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

Want to buy an app from the other country...

Hello guys.I am new to the forums and I have a problem with a paid app outside of my country - outside of Azerbaijan.
I really wanna buy "bioshock",it is literally my dream but unfortunately it is NOT out in Azerbaijan AppStore,so I would like to ask you few questions about this case:
1)Can I use...umm like a Russian/Turkish credit card to buy apps in Russian/Turkish
AppStores outside of Russia/Turkey?Like if I will SOMEHOW make a correct payment method or get a giftcard from Russia/Turkey,can I do this?
2)I've read somewhere that you have to make a whole new credit card in order to buy apps outside of your country because if you're using an Azerbaijan credit card you won't be able to use it in Russian AppStore because of the incorrect payment method.Is it true?
3)Is there any ACTUAL way for me to do it?Or I am stuck in a freakin' dead end?
I've been waiting for this game for 6 months already and it is still not out in my country.I am begging you guys,please help me out with this problem.

Want to buy a app from the app store with debit card but it's not working

How do I buy apps with my debit card

Sign in to the iTunes Store. You can do that from the iTunes menu bar.
Click Store > Sign In
Then back to the menu bar click Store > View My Account
In the Account Information window click the Edit button to the right of Payment Type
Enter your debit card number, the expiration date, and the security code from the back of the card.
Enter your billing address. Your billing address must be the same as the billing address on your debit card account.
Then click Done.
Now you can purchase iTunes media.
Sometimes on new accounts Apple will place an "authorization hold" on your debit card for approximately $1. If you see this charge on your debit card statement, it's ok, Apple will credit that amount back in 24 to 48 hrs. All that is doing is verifying your account status.
And when you make purchases, take into account any applicable taxes and fees > iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

I have an Italian Apple ID, but I would like to buy some application from the UK store. I changed my region from Italy to UK but it doesn't work. I don't want to create a new account. Any ideas?

hi everyone,
I am italian, and i always used an italian sim card and and an italian appleID. recently I bought a UK sim card, because I moved in the UK. The problem is that I would like to have access and buy new apps from the UK store, but my apple ID is valid only for the Italian store. I prefer to avoid the creation of a new account for a lot of reason that are not related to this post. Do you have any ideas?
thanks in advance for your help.
regards
Michele

Nope. You can only have one credit card attached to an account at a time. Its not that big of a deal to use two accounts, users do this all the time. Create the second account(UK Account) in iTunes on your computer...sign out of your Italian account first. Then authorize your computer for this new account: Store>Authorize this computer. Then sync your phone. Now, to switch accounts on your phone: Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

My 3rd iphone is a 3GS. I did not buy this one from the apple store, how do I register this serial number with my apple account? it is already sync'd and it and will preform every function except email to my home computer. It says apple ID disabled, also will not update my apps, same promt apple id disabled.
anyone know where I can go to register this phone? Thanks

https://register.apple.com

Apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

It's real easy to create a new one and, in fact, it's too easy. I say that because multiple IDs are a PIA. The problem is that anything obtained from the iTunes Store is PERMANENTLY associated with the ID that was used to obtain the item(s). iTunes items can not be transferred from one ID to another and IDs can not be merged.
The problem arises when you want to update an app. If you're doing it from iTunes on your computer, you must log out and back in to get to the correct ID. Then you update and log out/in again to get back to where you started. It's slightly easier if you update from the iPad/iPod device as there is no need to log out/in BUT you still need the correct password for the appropriate ID. Of course, with a disabled ID, the problem is much worse!
A replacement Apple ID makes sense ONLY if you wish to start out absolutely brand new with zero iTunes Store purchases.
If you're really butting your head aginst a wall and you're reasonably close to an Apple Store, my suggestion is that you make an appointment with the resident "Genius" and get his/her help.
One last thought... If your brother actually got a human on the phone to dispute the charges, go there and explain the problem. Of course, if Apple did not accept his explanation of what occurred, that could be the whole issue. Apple believes that money is owed on the account!
