I want to buy a movie from the america itunes store. How do I, since I am Australian?

I want to buy Bruce Almighty from the american itunes store because the Australian itunes store doesn't have it. I really want it but I don't know how to buy it as I have tryed to login but a sign pops up saying that my account is only for the Australian itunes store.
How do I buy it?
Can I buy it?
Please help me.

You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence (verified by your billing address of your credit card) AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

    why can't I buy movies from the american itunes store?

    Are you located inside the U.S?
    If not, this is why?

  • If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

    If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
    Cheers.

    You canot easily change your country settings.  The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

  • Hi. i want to buy a movie in the mexican iTunes. can I do that if I live in Sweden?

    Hi. I want to buy a movie in Spanish (not in Spain Spanish...vary sry but it sounds no good, to many zZz...) and I do like to see it in HD).
    The problem is that I live in Sweden.
    PS: you have brilliant people in design and engineering, but it seems that you put an monkey in the sales department.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. This is a user to user forum, you are not talking to Apple. If you wish to send feedback you can do so through the feedback page.   http://apple.com/feedback
    2. No. due to licensing issues, content can only be purchased from the country store that is defined in your Apple ID.  That is to purchase from a specific store you need to have a valid payment method from the country the store belongs to and a billing address in that same country.
    This is not something Apple controls or has very much say in. Its the rights owners and licensing and distribution agreements, and other drm difficulties in different parts of the world that determine this. Media licenses and rights management is very prickly subject. If this were not the case, there would be no need to have country specific stores. 
    In short to purchase from the Mexican store you would need a Mexican account with a Mexican credit card and a Mexican billing address.

  • Can I buy a song from the German iTunes Store while in the U.S.?

    I'm from the US and have and buy all my music through the iTunes store. However, there's a song I want only available in the Deutchland iTunes store. It's .99 Euro. Anyone tried doing this? Is it possible? And does it equate to around $1.60 or whatever the exchange rate is? Thanks.

    It can be done but it's a pain.
    I'm a dual Canadian/US citizen. I move back and forth between the two.
    To purchase from itunes in more than one country you need more than one account.
    I set up my US account while I was in Canada, so you don't need to be in the Germany to buy from Germany. You do need a German itunes gift card and a mailing address in Germany.
    I have a legitimate US address, but to the best of my knowledge the address isn't really verified. I'm not suggesting you do anything dishonest, but when you have ties to two countries residency can be a vague concept.
    The really annoying part is itunes, and your ipod, will only recognize one account at a time. I have found that when I sync logged into my Canadian account apps purchased from the American store are disabled, even if they were already on the ipod.
    Apple's licensing protection is not unbiased, I haven't yet had any problems when I sync logged into the US store.
    Personally I think blocking content you've already purchased violates the consumer's rights.

  • HT1689 I want to purchase an app from the US iTunes store using my credit card with billing address inIndia

    Hi,
    I want to download an app which is unfortunately not available on the Indian iTunes app store. I have an internationally valid credit card with my billing address in India. I tried to change my store settings to see if I could log into the US iTunes store, but since all my credit cards are registered on my address in India, I am unable to log into the US store.
    Can somebody please help me in this regard?

    You cannot. To open an account on a different iTunes country you must have a valid credit card issued from a bank in that country. You must have a billing address in that country, as well.
    There are reasons why some apps are not available in all iTunes stores.

  • So I live in America and i want to buy a series that is only available in the UK, if I buy it from the Uk Itunes store how will this affect my account and purchases?

    I want to buy sherlock series 3, it's not available in the US store but it is in the Uk store. I want to know if it will affect my account or my other purchases.

    You cannot legally use other coutries itunes stores.
    You can lose your account by doing this.

  • I live in the u.s., but want to purchase music from the dutch itunes store. how do i do that?

    I'm trying purchase music by a dutch artist, but it tells me my itunes id is only valid in the us store. Why? That's just so silly. I don't want to change stores permanently. I just want to buy music internationally.

    Because whoever holds the copyright to the music in the USA hasn't granted Apple permission to sell it there. For a small artist or band, there may not be anyone who can do that.

  • Can i buy items from the American ITunes store?

    I live in Australia and would like to buy an item from the American ITunes store. Is this possible without needing an account for that country?

    No you cannot.
    You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence as proven by your credit card billing address AND you may ONLY buy while physically inside that country.

  • Want to buy more movies from different countries...

    "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."

  • I want to change from the US iTunes store to the Australian iTunes store but I have to spend all of my iTunes store credit, what the **** can I buy with 60 cents?

    I want to change from the US iTunes store to the Australian iTunes store but i have to spend all of my iTunes credit first, what the **** will I spend 60 cents on?  Should I have purchased unwanted music to the exact value to change country?  Why cant I just agree to wipe the credit? it's less than one dollar.  Why can't I just transfer it at going market rates (or even cent for cent) when it is only such a small amount and I would make a profit?  I don't want to start another iTunes account, it will only lead to problems with what I have already purchased.

    You cannot.
    You cannot use another countrys itunes store.
    You must be physically locates inside the borders of a country to use that countrys itunes store and a credit card issued in that country with a valid billing address in that country.
    The owners of the distribution rights of movies/music/etc differ by country.  These distributors decide who can sell their content in that country.
    Buy from another source if your countrys itunes store does not carry somehting that you want.

  • I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
    Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
    Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases!  It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'! 

  • Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?

    Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?

    The US Apple Store accepts US-issued credit cards only. And they will ship only to a US address. Whether or not a physical Apple Store would accept a Lebanese credit card I don't know.
    Regards.

    hello! i am from Romania and i want to buy an iphone from the USA site. can i buy it neverlocked? and if it is possible how much should it cost in totat(with transport and the iphone price)?

    You can buy a factory unlocked on direct from Apple sim free, make sure you get the right one and not just a contract free one.  I am sure  one of our US members will be able to give you the price.
