I moved overseas and want to change my iTunes credit currency

A few months ago, I moved from Australia to Canada. When I arrived, I tried to change my iTunes settings to reflect the move so I could download local apps and the like. At the time, I had approximately AU$25 credit to my iTunes account from gift cards I'd redeemed. When I tried changing country, I was informed I couldn't as the credit was in Australian Dollars, which can't be used on the Canada store.
I was wondering if I can change the currency of my credit or transfer the credit over so I can change my location? I'd rather not just spend the credit for ease of change over, as I like having it there for small app and in-app purchases and its still a meaningful amount. I haven't found a thread that addresses this and I'm happy to speak with customer service or go in store if necessary (need to go in anyway) but if anyone has done this before I'd appreciate the advice.

You can't change the credit over; you need to spend it or ask the iTunes Store staff to zero your account balance. If desired, you can instead ask that the balance be put back onto the card, but won't be able to use it for Canadian iTunes Store content in any case.

I have recently changed my email address and want to change my iTunes account to it how can i do this

I recently closed my yahoo account which my icloud was linked to and I want to change it all to my new email account how can i do this

This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621. After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID. To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

I have moved from the US to Norway, and want to change my apple ID to the Norwegian appstore. However, I am not allowed ot change from the US store before I use up my balance, which is 0.17 dollar. The problem is that nothing costs 0.17 dollar and I do no longer have an american visa card, only Norwegian.

Try contacting the store support staff at: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html they are usually pretty good at sorting out these issues.

You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud. Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

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.

Good day BenithaK,
Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -

To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have 2 ipods on one id and want to change to separate ids

I have 2 ipods on one id (mine and my sons) and want to change to separate ids as fed up of listening to his music can this be done?

No reason for a different ID. Just do not sync his music. Also in Settings>iTunes and App Store make sure that Automatic Downloads are turned OFF

Plug it in and sync it.
It will erase the ipod content and replace with the content from the new computer so make sure that you have copied everything form the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to your new one first.

I only have 5c in my US account and want to change back to Australia, but my account needs to be 0. Anyway around this? I have no US credit card.

Ah. I understand now. I suspect it is the technical problem that the money keeps the account alive.
Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - and click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store. Explain to them and see if they will help you raise a new account.
Remember, your account and means of payment must relate to the country you permanently reside in.

I bought an iphone for my daughter and was unaware that we should have a seperate appleid for each.Now we share an id and get eachothers contacts and face time calls. I recently bought another iphone and want to change ids without loosing items and music.

All purchases are always going to be associated to the ID that was used to purchase/download them.
If you create an ID for your daughter you will want to check everywhere it is used to make sure you are not sharing messages and stuff. These would be iTunes/app store, iCloud, iMessages, and FaceTime.
Go thru settings and find all mention of your ID.

I've bought three new ipod products and want to change the name of my old ipod when i plug it into my laptop. how do i do this

When you plug your ipod into the computer it's name comes up. ie bill's ipod. How do you edit the name. I've recently bought some new ipods and want to change the names of my old ones.

Double click the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left side of the iTunes window then type in a new name.

All apps that you have purchased or downloaded are tied to the apple id/email that you use to buy it. That's why it is showing your old email when you are trying to update the app.
