ITunes account in another country

When I was living in the US, I got a US iTunes account linked to a US credit card. I've since moved to Japan, and apparently I can't buy at the Japanese iTunes store with a US credit card even after I've changed the credit card's billing address to Japan. However, I can buy iTunes gift cards for the Japanese iTunes store without a Japanese credit card, no address checking required.
I'm guessing that the US iTunes Store will still let me shop, but is this allowed? I'm curious because many of the albums that are available there are not available at Japanese stores, either brick-and-mortar or online.

I live in Denmark. I have a card registered in England (where I come from) with which I can buy from the iTunes store UK. I also have a card here in DK with which I can buy from the Danish store.
Not sure how that might help, but it proves at least that it can be done.

    In our country we dont have iTune Store if i create iTunes accounts in another country (example UK) can i use my local bank credit card??

    No, you need to be in a country and have a valid billing address in that country to be able to use a country's store. If there isn't an iTunes store in your country then unfortunately you won't be able to buy any content from iTunes.

  • HT1918 hi i need to change my itunes account to another country

    hi i need to change my itunes account to another country

    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
    You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

  • Moving my itunes account to another country

    Hello I have a problem that I have not found a solution too despite much searching. It may not be a problem of course, but I think it is....!!
    I have an imac which was bought and all the softwear (incl itunes) installed in Australia. Therefore I have an Australian login for itunes. I also have an unlocked iphone bought directly from Apple in Australia.
    I have moved to the UK and brought the 100% Aussie imac with me. I have also brought the previously unactivated iphone with me and installed a pre-paid UK Vodafone sim.
    The problem is that having plugged the iphone into the computer, it thinks it is an Australian iphone and defaults to the Australian itunes store. This seems to be a problem because, unless I am missing something I have to be registered with itunes/Mac here in the UK to be able to download Apps.
    I have attempted to change my location with no joy and I have also failed to create a new user because the computer still want me to be Australian.
    Does anyone have any good ideas???? This was not a problem I had even imagined.
    Thanks!

To change this on your mobile device, go to iTunes on your computer*, change the iTunes Store to the country you want to use on your mobile device, then sync your iPhone or iPod touch with your computer again.

  • I would like to open a second iTunes account in another country, but still maintain my original Canadian account.  I have read the advice regarding signing out of the original account,and then signing in and setting up a new account.  but will I still be

    I would like t open a second iTunes account for a different country, but still be able to access my original account. It was not clear inthe documentation I read on this subject if this was indeed possible - using the signing out/in, create new account procedure.

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices... 

  • Changing iTunes account to another country

    I recently bought my teenage son an iPod when he was on holiday with me in the UK. We created an iTunes account for him and I gave him some credit to spend on apps. Now that he is back at home in Denmark, he cannot access the Danish App Store because whenever he logs in, it takes him to the UK store. This is a problem because his English is not at all good. He tried to create a new account in Denmark, but it would not let him because his email address is being used by the other account. He ended up creating a new account using his mother's email address. So all of his new apps are in his mother's name, but his other ones are owned by his English account. He would also like to change the registration of his iPad to his Danish account when he finally figures out how to do this. His current account is in his name, but at my address in the UK. Can anyone help?

  • How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?

    How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?  I set up my itunes account in the United States and now I live in England.  I would like to transfer my purchases from my US account to my British account and then download them onto my new ipod.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and I have updated my Windows 7 operating system.  I have tried to get in touch with apple and the advisor said he could not help me.  Ideas? 

    Before you change the country, note the following:
    - you must use any remaining store credit on your account
    - download all purchased content
    - ensure you have no current rentals(if you do, you'll have to wait for them to expire)
    - provide a new payment(such as a credit or debit card) associated with a valid billing address in the UK or an iTunes Gift Card purchased in the UK
    - content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific. If you wish to upgrade any of your iTunes Store content to iTunes Plus, you'll need to do this before you change countries. The content you purchased while your account was set to the previous country will not be eligible for upgrade once you've changed countries.
    - after you change countries, you will no longer receive application update notifications in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country. However, you'll still receive update notifications on your iOS device for any applications installed on it. In addition, you'll be able to download previously purchased applications again for free if they are available on your new country's store. You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased application is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again for free.
    - If you have an iTunes Match subscription, you can't change countries until the subscription has expired.
    - If you have purchased a Season Pass, you cannot change the country associated with your account until that season is done airing and the last episode of the season has been added to the iTunes Store.
    Taking the above into consideration, here's how to change your country:
    1. Open iTunes and click Sign In.
    2. Enter your iTunes Store account name and password, then click Account Info.
    3. On the Apple Account Information page, click Change Country or Region.
    4. Enter the updated information and save your changes.

  • How to access ITune store of another country?

    I'm in the U.S., but I want to access the iTune store in another country. I'm looking to buy some books in my native language. Is it possible to do so?

    Yes, it is possible--if you already have an iTunes account in the second country or you can open one. You usually need a method of payment located in that country such as a bank account or credit card. You usually also have to specify some kind of address in that country. You can then switch back and forth on your iPad between the US account and the other one. It is just a bit awkward, but I do it all the time between my US account and my foreign one.
    So if you don't yet have an iTunes account in that other country, opening one would ve your first step.
