I'm in the US. How can I purchase from US iTune store?

I'm in the US for a holiday. How can I purchase from US iTune store without being switched to the Canada iTunes?

Sorry, but you can't, unless you have a US-issued credit card, or have a legal residence in the US and so have a valid mailing address and purchase an iTunes Music card. The record companies and other content owners will not allow Apple to sell cross-border, so Apple has to have such restrictions on who can open an account in a given country's store.

    Unless you have a payment account and billing address in the US you cannot purchase from the US store.
    And you will need to physically be in the USA for it to work.

    No, it means you switch from the US store to the other store. Afterwards you just switch back to the US store. You can theoretically have accounts in many different iTunes stores. Switching is simply logging out of one and logging into another after switching countries. There's a switch country link at the bottom of the iTunes Store.
    Personally, it seems it would be much simpler to send a check to all of your friends. Far less trouble than trying to open bank accounts and get credit cards from different countries unless you frequently travel to them and don't mind maintaining cash balances in different banks across the world. Not to mention getting credit cards. Here in Vancouver they won't give me a credit card unless I maintain a $5,000.00 minimum balance in my Canadian checking account. If I did that I'd hardly have much need for the charge card.

  • HT204053 can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and  how do I sync updates on applications?  Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way.

    can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and  how do I sync updates on applications purchased from either store?  Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way.  The trouble is I set up my appleid in new Zealand and so all icloud and itunes and app stores are under New Zealand Apple ID I have since moved to Australia. Im a real beginner at this stuff so bare with me pse.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

    What is the name the state that must be chosen?

    The state will most likely be Israel. Different countries accept different credit cards, and I cannot tell you what is acceptable in Israel.

    You can only download content(other than podcast episodes) from a country's iTunes Store if you're in that country. For paid content, you also need to supply a payment method valid in that country.

    Why didn't you say that from the start? 
    If you think you broke your arm, do you tell the doctor your car won't start?    No, you tell the doctor you can't drive because your arm won't work, you think it's broken.
    You have to enter a method of payment, even for free apps.

  • How can I purchase from Itunes without store jumping (I buy from the Guyanese store and some products are listed as only in US Stores)?

    How to avoid store jumping? Why cant there be a seamless Itune Store?

    Due to the rights of certain content not all content is available in all areas.  This means the US store may have items that are not available in the UK store, and the UK store may have items that are not available in the US store, and etc and etc.  This is likely to not change anytime soon.
