In the modern world why is not possible to download apps from foreign countries whilst in the uk...!?

Because apps are licensed for sale only in specific countries by the developers, and for iTunes Store and credit card security and anti-fraud purposes you need an AppleID and billing address in the country you are buying from.
Just because it is a digital download does not mean licensing and local commerce laws and taxes do not apply, like they would to a physical item.

    I have the new iphone and thought I could download Netflix but only found "Netflix Instant's  Best Movies" in the apps. I pay for Netflix monthly. Is it not possible to download it here and use it on the iPhone? Insight appreciated.

    I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
    Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
    Best of luck.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

  • My ipod will not let me download apps from the device and when i do it on itunes they wont sync either...

    My ipo will not let me download apps or sync them either.

    There are a million ppl having this problem right now and it seems like Apple is ignoring it. It's been real bad since May, even worse that last week or so. Basically all we can do is sit and wait to see what excuse or help, if any, will be given. I've used a Walmart pre-paid card and I'm sorry, but who really incorrectly types a 3 digit number a million times?! Also my account is saying I owe iTunes $40 for in-app purchases. Bull!! My card sends me a balance twice a day via text and because of this, I know what, where, and how my money is being spent. Also it's pre-paid, how can you have an over draft?!?! Here's a real kicker though...my card balance is in the positive!!! Hmmm, obviously not a fault on my part, the part of my card, nor my iPod. It's all in the system!!!

  • Not able to download apps from mac app store, Apple ID-sign in error.

    I cannot download apps from the mac app store. It sais your password is incorrect and after a few tries it takes me to page: have you forgotten your password. But in other hand i can go into my Apple ID-account management page and my Itunes account. What should i do? i have tried to reniew my Apple ID password, it didn't work. thanks a lot!

    Try restarting your Mac then try the App Store.
    If that doesn't help, quit the App Store.
    Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Finder > Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Try the App Store.

  • Why can't I update/ download apps from the app store after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3?

    I have an iphone 5 and updated my phone to the lastest version (ios 7.0.3) last night. I can't download/ update any apps from the app store using my cellular network.  The only error message is that the app cant be downloaded at this time. As soon as I click the download button, the image of the icon shows up with "Waiting" underneath the icon.  I tried tapping on the app icon to pause the download but that isn't working. I have disabled Wi-Fi setting and enabled"the use cellular data" option in the itunes and app store setting page.  Memory is not an issue because I have a lot of memory available.  In the cellular setting page the App Store is enabled to use cellular data.  It seems like it is a setting issue.  What can be done to fix this problem

    Thanks for your suggestion.  Not long ago before I saw your response I tried to download the app and I seemed to have some progress (I had 5 bars and 1x). It looked it was 3/4 of the download complete only to have the same error message. 
    Since then I reset the phone and I have tried downloading the app when there 5 bars with 3g.  Every time the icon has waiting underneath it and I get the same error message. 

  • Why can't I delete unwanted apps from 4.2.1? The icons shake but the little x's are gone!

    This just happened!  I wanted to get rid of an app - as I've done for the past two years - by holding down the app until it shakes...  But the little x's in the top left corner have vanished!  Is this some sort of update?  How do I delete apps on the iPod now?  Thanks

    You're welcome, you are going to need these settings the next couple of years, I set it up for my 12 year old, to prevent app installation or removal on his iPod

    I'm guessing that it is a regional issue.. try opening store.ovi.com in the browser.. I've not tried the ovi icon recently, but it didn't work a few days ago where as opening that link in the browser did work

  • With the new OS, itunes is not letting me add files from my external HD to the library

    I just downloaded the new OS (Mavericks) and also the new version of itunes (11.1.2). Now, I'm trying to add some files to itunes (using file>add to library) and the first thing I notice is that the "Icons" view fails to display any content (at all), when switch to "column" view I can see all my folders but cannot access any of them, and when I switch to "list" view and try to browse to the music folder in my external HD, itunes gets hung and I have to force quit it to be able to use any of the other opened apps in my mac. Something similar happened when I tried to save a file in preview: no content on the icon view. It is like if there's something wrong with the add/open and save functions, it is not responding properly

    From my knowledge the computer just Syncs to the phone not iCloud..
    It can update & restore etc..
    iCloud is just a back up service for the info on your phone..
    Have you tried doing a Factory Settings via iTunes..Then a restore.

  • Why does the source of the Firefox download come from random countries and are the copies from these places safe?

    I am trying to download Firefox, but want to make sure my copy is legitimate. Every time I go to download a copy, the source is a different server usually from another country.
    Is this normal and are the copies from these servers checked for viruses and malware?
    I ultimately got a copy from 3347-voxcdn.com.

    Mozilla has mirrors around the globe.

  • Not able to download apps over Wifi, over 3G works fine.

    Hi,
    I ve been using an iPad Mini iOS 7.0.3. I am not able to download apps from app store over the wifi network but am able to do it well with 3G.
    I am able to update apps which i have already installed by Wifi and 3G with no hassles.
    Also the update to iOS7.1.1 doesnt download either on Wifi or on 3G.
    Would be glad to get some help
    Thanks

    Hi sgunturi,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to download apps or the iOS update over Wi-Fi, I'd recommend first updating your iPad mini using iTunes, if possible:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4431
    Download takes a long time, or you can't reach update server
    iOS updates require a persistent Internet connection, and the time it takes to download the update will vary according to the size of the update and your Internet speed. You can use your device normally while downloading the iOS update, and iOS will notify you when you can install the update. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
    If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.

    Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process.  If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage.  In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track.  Everything worked fine on Windows 7.  So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility.  As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries?  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
    1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
    2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
    So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
    So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

  • Not able to download apps at all

    Hey guys!
    I just backed my iPhone 3G data to iPhone 4.
    I am not able to download apps from the App store ..it keeps on asking the password over and over even after the password is correct , it just keeps on popping up the iTunes store log in  and ultimately it doesn't allow to download app.!
    Here are some solutions that I have tried and ended up failing.!
    1. Signing out of App store and again signing in
    2. Resetting the password.
    3. Resetting the iPhone to factory settings and then signing in.
    4. Creating a new Apple ID and signing in .
    5. Reset all media and erase then sign in
    this problem is prevailing only after restoring the back up from iPhone 3 before that is was working fine and was able to download apps from App store.
    iPhone 4 16gb, version -  7.1.2

    Hi mhp14694,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone 4. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this. If you are still having issues after all your listed steps, you may want to try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if you can download from the App Store before restoring your data. You may find the following article helpful:
