I can't change the region in app store? Help!

I used to have an account inaustralia, but now live in uk. I have changed the region in iTunes, in the general iPad settings and in app store as well, but it still only lists Australian apps!!!!M
Help!

This worked for me:
A few months ago I moved from NZ to London. For a while I kept using my NZ account on iTunes and on my iPhone to buy apps, but eventually I needed to start using the UK app store.
The only info I could find on google was how to change your country in iTunes. That’s easy enough, using the country selector at the bottom of the screen. So now I can see the UK iTunes store, and everything appears in £. But when I’d try and sign in to buy something, I’d get an error message “Your account is only valid for purchases in the NZ iStore” and I’d get redirected to the NZ iStore. I couldn’t find much help online, and was about to sign up for a whole new UK-based iTunes account with another email address, until I found this help page:
Changing your iTunes Store country:
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you’d like to use. If already signed in to an account, from Settings, choose Store and then View Account.
Tap “Change Country of Region” and follow the on screen process of changing your region. Agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
Once that was done, I could see and use the UK iTunes. But when I would surf the app store on my iPhone I was still seeing the NZ app store. The fix is to just download any free app. Once it starts downloading it, it realises you’ve signed up to use a new country’s app store and redirects you there.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • How can i change the language of app store i cant read jappanese

    My problem is.. My iphone came from japan i set everything into english except itune and app store, i cant sign in my apple id i dont know why because i dont understand the notification because it came in japanese characters pls help..

    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    Set it to the correct region for the country you're in. If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPhone, and sign into your account again.
    Regards.

    I would like to change my region of apple store from Australia to UK yet I still have very little balance which is $0.6 on my account. Since this amount is too small to spend in the store, how can I change the region with giving up the credit?
    Thanks for answering.

  • My system of iphone is english, why the app store is german? How to change the language of app store?

    My system of iphone is english, why the app store is german? How to change the language of app store?

    This changes the actual store. There are dozens of stores. Each store is posted in ONLY ONE LANGUAGE. Changing the country (actually, it changes the store) doesn't change the language. The language is hard-fixed for the particular country's store. You cannot change the language of the store. You can only change the store. The German Store is always in German. You can change to the U.S. store, but you can NEVER download / purchase anything from a different store than the one where you first got your Apple ID.
    You could create a new Apple ID in the U.S. store, but that is only allowed WHILE YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE U.S. This is the most annoying limitation of the Apple ID and flies in the face of Apple's attempt to present a globe-trotter image for their customers.
