I want to buy a song off the US store

I've been after a song for ages but the UK iTunes doesnt have it but the US iTunes does but I've tried buying it off there and am not allowed is there any way to buy the song through the UK site

If you have a UK account but the song isn't on the UK site then you can't buy it and unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

  • Apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

    apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

    It's real easy to create a new one and, in fact, it's too easy.  I say that because multiple IDs are a PIA.  The problem is that anything obtained from the iTunes Store is PERMANENTLY associated with the ID that was used to obtain the item(s).  iTunes items can not be transferred from one ID to another and IDs can not be merged.
    The problem arises when you want to update an app.  If you're doing it from iTunes on your computer, you must log out and back in to get to the correct ID.  Then you update and log out/in again to get back to where you started.  It's slightly easier if you update from the iPad/iPod device as there is no need to log out/in BUT you still need the correct password for the appropriate ID.  Of course, with a disabled ID, the problem is much worse!
    A replacement Apple ID makes sense ONLY if you wish to start out absolutely brand new with zero iTunes Store purchases.
    If you're really butting your head aginst a wall and you're reasonably close to an Apple Store, my suggestion is that you make an appointment with the resident "Genius" and get his/her help.
    One last thought...  If your brother actually got a human on the phone to dispute the charges, go there and explain the problem.  Of course, if Apple did not accept his explanation of what occurred, that could be the whole issue.  Apple believes that money is owed on the account!

    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'! 

  • I live in Colombia. How I can buy a song in the Spain store?

    I live in Colombia. How I can buy a song in the Spain store?

    You can't. You can only purchase songs in your local iTunes Store. To buy content from another store you'd have to live in that country and create an account in that particular store.

  • 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.

  • HT2589 I want to purchase a song in the UK store, but my apple id is Canadian and it won't let me

    I want to purchase a song in the UK store, but my apple id is Canadian and itunes will not allow me to purchase it. How can I purchase this song?

    You can't, you can only purchase from your own country's store. You can try requesting that it be added to the Canadian store, but ultimately it's the record company that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

    You would have to buy it separately.  Refurbished machines are sold as they were originally configured so you cannot customize the machine when you order it.

    What can I do if i don't remember my answers for the questions when I want to buy an app from the app store?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Hi, I want to buy a app on the iPad store, but I don't have a credit card. Any advice.?

    Hi, I want to buy a app on the iPad store, but I don't have a credit card. Any advice.?

    Buy an iTunes card which are available in many retail locations
    as well as on line and redeem it in the AppStore so
    you can purchase the app you have in mind. The iTunes
    card must be from the same country as the AppStore
    you are using which should be the same as your country
    of residence.

  • I am based in UK and want to buy an App from the US store. How do I do this?

    Is it possible to buy an app from the US store whilst registered in the UK?

    You cannot.
    You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the issuing country of your credit card and the valid billing address of that card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
    You cannot use other countrys itunes store.

  • If I wanted to buy certain songs off a deluxe album that require the whole album to be purchased, will I have to pay for the songs I have from the regular album again?

    A long time ago, I bought one of Mumford and Sons' regular albums, and more recently, I bought two bonus songs off their deluxe album. The last song on the deluxe album can only be download with a purchase of the whole album. Will I have to repay for all the songs I already have, just to get the one extra?

    Unless the album is included in the "Complete My Album" feature:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1849
    then yes, you would pay for those tracks again when you buy the entire album.
    Regards.

  • I tried buying an album off the iTunes Store but I didn't know the security question answers. It disabled my account from buying for 8 hours but I want the album by tonight! Help please?!?!

    I tried buying an album off of the iTunes Store but I didn't know the security question answers. I reached the limit for the amount of answers and now it disabled my account from buying for 8 hours but I want the album by tonight! Can anyone help?!

    If you've disabled your account for 8 hours then you will need to wait until the 8 hours have completed.
    When the 8 hours are up, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you should get a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
