I live in South Africa and have a problem in downloading what'sapp because I can't buy in us dollars I must buy in ZAR

I hv a problem changing my billing account from USDollers to SouthAfrican Rands so that I can download what'sapp

Re; your billing account...
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
From here >  The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
Billing policy is the same for the Mac App Store.

  • Every time I try to download and app to my iPhone, it tells me that I need to change to South African App Store. I live in South Africa and have purchased apps before, what has changed ?

    When purchasing an app on my iPhone, it says I must first change from the US App Store to South Africa, I live in South Africa and have downloaded several apps before without any problem. What has changed ?

    Hi HayCam,
    Sounds like you accidently got changed to another store....
    So, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, and click on your AppleID at the top. Then click on View account, sign in, and then click on Country/Region, and follow the instructions to change your store to South Africa.
    That should take care of it!
    Cheers,

  • I lived in the US for a few years, spent a fortune on iTunes [my then local Apple ID account].  Now I live in South Africa and want to use Match.  I have a local credit card but how do I use my new / 2nd Apple ID and gain access to all my US music??

    You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
    You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?

  • I live in South Africa and I am looking to get a mac book air to help me with all of my schoolwork and presentations. Are there any discounts that students can get and if so how much of a discount?

    I live in South Africa and I am looking to get a mac book air to help me with all of my schoolwork and presentations. Are there any discounts that students can get and if so how much of a discount?

    Hi, actually there is, but you have to inquire according to Apple.com/za website. Here is the statement:
    Student Discounts
    Students, staff and academic institutions are eligible for ongoing discounts on Apple products and solutions. Call 011 535 9080 for further information.

  • Just got to South Africa and have no service although I purchased an add on?

    When I got to South Africa and realised I didn't have any service, I purchased a roaming '30 mins anywhere non EU' add on. However I still don't have service?
    Please can someone help!
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Buying a bundle doesn't mean that your device will work aborad you need to make sure roaming is enabled on your account.
    If you have a EE extra plan you still need to make sure roaming is enable on your account your plan only gives you free/cheaper calls when abroad.
    If your wanting to enable roaming on your account there could be a deposit to pay if you haven't had the device for about 6 months.
    Unless you have paid the deposit then roaming is not enabled on your account.
    You need to activate roaming on your account by calling 150 from your device or from a landline 01707 315000 before you leave the UK.
    But you still might be able todo this if you are abroad.
    From the home page of your account go to "Plan and add-ons>Manage this device>>Usage Controls> and select Allow on call abroad and premium rate, If the option is not there you need to call
    It can take 24 hours to activate
    If you had this device/contract for under 6 months you need to call customer services on +44 7953 966250 from a landline.
    Once you have activated roaming you can then use this link to see what cost there is and what bundles you can have.

    Please read this about voicemail

    And this
    http://ee.co.uk/articles/set-up-your-phone-for-using-abroad
    Also sending a text to 150 with the words of RO country your going to i.e. RO Spain will get you a reply of what the costs will be from that country.

  • I live in South Africa and cannot download the kindle app from Amazon

    I have followed all the prompts and all option I get is an app called Sunil. How do I get kindle from Amazon?

    It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell content where the content providers grant them licenses to sell it, so if the record company hasn't granted Apple a license to sell that song in South Africa then Apple can't sell it there. You can try requesting that it be added, but it won't be able to happen without the record company's agreement : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    You can also only buy content from your own country's store, you won't be able to buy it from the US store unless you are in the US with a US billing address on your account.

  • TS3367 I am currently in South Africa and have tried to FaceTime my family using my ipad to their ipad, however when I make the call, I can hear the ringing but after a while it says the other party is not available, but she is

    I am current in Sotheby's Africa and trying to FaceTime my daughter who also has the same ipad as me. My son in law also has the ipad. Despite using my daughters email, I cannot get through to her or my son in law. When I hit FaceTime I can hear the ringing tone, but after a while it comes up saying my daughter is not available, but she is sat by her ipad in the UK. I have checked everything is working so what can I do now to get through to her, especially for Xmas day.

  • I live in South Africa and would like to purchase the song - Shakara by Fela Kuti and its only available in the American store. Why is it not available in the South African or why does the American store prevent me from buying from it?

    Why can't i buy the song Shakara by Fela Kuti from the American store if its not available from the South African store? Why is it not being made available in South Africa? It does not make sense to me, especially from such a top company that is priding itself with improving accessibility.

    It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell content where the content providers grant them licenses to sell it, so if the record company hasn't granted Apple a license to sell that song in South Africa then Apple can't sell it there.

  • HT2693 I am in South Africa I have a A1219 ipad using ios 5 1 how can I update it? I cant get Whatsapp?

    I have a ipad A1219 that uses ios5.1 iwant to upgrade it to use latest ios? I am trying to dowload "Whatsapp" I can not download they say the app is not available in South Africa, please help me!

    The developers of Whatsapp have not made a version for iPads, it can only be installed on iPhones.

  • I need to download Photoshop extended from my account onto a Mac.  I originally had a windows based laptop. I live in South Africa now and can only access my account and serial numbers.  How do I download???

    I need do download Photoshop Extended from my adobe account.  I bought it in 2011 when I live in Canada and was using a windows based laptop.  I now live in South Africa and use a Mac.  I can only access my products and serial numbers.  How do I download???

    As long as you have a legitimate serial number, you can just download a trial version of the version you need from the public Adobe site, install it and input your valid serial number upon installing it.
    You will need to apply all available updates, as all downloads are of the original release.
    The Extended and the Standard version of Photoshop are one and the same binary.  It's your serial number that makes it Extended or Standard.

  • Is it possible to order a Photo Book from iPhoto if I live in South Africa? What are my options?

    I live in South Africa and want to order a Photo Book that I made using iPhoto. But I can't seem to find a delivery option anywhere for international deliveries.
    HELP PLEASE!

    Lol this post was over a year ago... I've since found an excellent solution. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
    www.24hourphotobooks.co.za
    I just saved it as a PDF and uploaded it to their website... their prices are resonable, the product is really beautiful and of superior quality, and they are super efficient!
    I've since used them twice! Brilliant company... I recommend you try them (also, they are based in Linbro business park in Johannesberg so you can pick up your book if you live in Jozi instead of courier... but for all other areas of SA they deliver to your door! Fantastic!)
    Hope this helps!

  • Hi I am in south Africa and wifi is very restricted so I have a 3G card with 5gig cap but when I want to download applications for iPad larger than 20meg it says I must use wifi is there a setting I can change to increase the cap on 3G downloads

    Hi I am from south Africa  and wi fi is very restricted so I have a 3G  card in my iPad and it has a 5 Gig capacity, however when I want to download applications bigger than 20meg it asks for a wifi connection.Is there a setting I can change so to allow a higher capacity 3G downloads?

    The R201 MiFi is really nifty. It's the size of a credit card, and a bit thicker. Costs just over R1200 and can connect up to 5 devices. It charges via USB or via the iPad adapter and will give about 3 hours use on a charge. I actually feel that with a MiFi, you don't need any 3G on the iPad.
