Hello jenbob90,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes: Changing the display language
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2242
Which country's store you use is determined by the billing address of your payment method. For example, if you open an iTunes Store account using a credit card from the United States, you need to use the U.S. store. See How to set up an iTunes Store account for more details.
Best of luck,
Mario

When logging in to I-tunes I get a message stating my country is New Zealand. How do I reset it to the UK
Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.

I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?
As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country). -

Tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and tap 'view apple id' on the popup and log in, and at the top of your account's popup page tap on your id and you should be able to change the primary email address on it.

My wife has an Ipad 2 and I recently purchased a new Ipad; she now wants to swap Ipads! If we do swap how to we change the account details on each Ipad?
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
I would backup both iPads to either your computer (faster) or to iCloud (slower.) Then I would go to Settings/General/Reset and Erase all Content & Settings on each iPad. They will both restart as brand new iPads, ready for setup. Then I would restore each iPad to the correct backup; your stuff on the iPad 2 and her stuff on the new iPad. -
My boss gave ma a gift card but I can not use it in my country, how can I change country to star using it?
You cannot change your iTunes country unless you are really moving to another country, nor can you change country association for a gift card. Give it as a gift to a friend who lives in the country of origin for the card.

Try going into iTunes on your computer. Sign in with your AppleID and go to account. Under the Apple ID summary the Country/Region is listed. Change the country and sync your device.

My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve this issue. I have tried resetting it but nothing... Either I'm doing something wrong or....
I believe the issue is with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the App. If you download an App that was purchased under a different Appple ID then all updates will also be linked to the original purchaser's Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the the same ID as your iTunes, iCloud, etc. Some folks use different ID for the different Apple sites. No need for that One ID for all Apple Sites, and if someone else buys an App using their ID and they(you) download that App onto your device and that App requires an update it will ask for the purchasers Apple ID. This happens a lot when folks sell their iPad or give it to someone else and leave some purchased(free) Apps on the iOS device. You cannot change the original ID the App was purchased under. A suggestion would be if someone else has an App that you like but do not want to pay for use their ID or in the future have them gift the App to you.

My previous method for payment on itunes was debit card but now I dont have one. How do I change to no card without creating a new apple id? It tells me to update payment details when I try to update apps but it only has visa, mastercard, amex and maesto. I dont have any of them. I did previously use visa but I dont have the card anymore and cant get another one. Please can someone help me set it up so I dont need a payment method. Thanks
Thanks for you reply. Is that the only way as it would cost me £15?
