ITunes account is in Japanese

I recently upgraded iTunes due to me purchasing a new 2G Touch, but when i go to sign in to my account, everything shows up in Japanese, titles of songs/artists/prices, everything is in Japanese. I have tried changing the settings in itunes but it will not let me do it, every time i go to change them and put my details in again, it just comes up with unable to change as the region is different (or words to that effect). and then just goes back to the itunes store homepage.
After setting up my ipod with itunes, these setting are now also on my ipod. so i cannot use the itunes store OR the app store as everything is in Japanese. all i want is to get back to having itunes be in GBR when i sign in. if anyone can assist, i will be grateful.

i think i have a bigger problem, i logged into my account and everything was in totally another language (the last one on the drop down list (==)), the address was different and the credit card details, security question was totally wrong, as was my birthdate. i think my account had been hacked.

Multiple iTunes Accounts With an iPod Touch

Hi,
Not sure if this is a iPod touch question or an iTunes question. So, I'm gonna ask it here.
I'd like to buy an app that's available in the Japanese iTunes store and not in the US iTunes store.
So, can I create a Japanese iTunes account and use it to buy an app for my iPod without having to start my iTunes library all over from scratch? I don't want to risk losing all my current US iTunes store content and iTunes library.
Will iTunes sync content from two different accounts onto one device (my iPod touch)?
Thanks!

Yes.

If that content is in a single iTunes library, yes.

Problems with multiple itunes accounts since ios8

Since iOS8 I am having real problems getting my content from multiple iTunes accounts to work. I used to be able to switch between accounts (US and Japanese stores) and download stuff, and play it all fine, but since iOS8 I get the message 'This device is already associated with an Apple ID'. So, I thought I'd transfer everything to iTunes and then sync it back to the phone, which seemed to transfer the content, but when I try and play a song belonging to the account I'm not logged in as it shows the play screen and then jumps back to the play list.
This is very frustrating for those of us who straddle countries and want to be able to access content from both!
Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks
Ray

Well, I usually think of an 'iTunes account' as being an account at the iTunes Store... I take it you have different iTunes collections with separate library files for each of you.
It sounds like you have different user accounts on the computer. Figuring out what is going on will require us knowing a lot more about how you have your iTunes libraries set up. Do you also have a shared area or do you keep totally separate accounts? Are you positive you were't really in his account when this was happening?

Putting credit on iTunes account from different country

Hi all, I have a bit of a problem here. I have 2 iTunes accounts. One for the US (where I currently live) and one for Japan (where I used to live). I still am able to use my JP account to download free apps from the store and keep my previously downloaded ones updated. Because I no longer have a Japanese credit card I have removed that form of payment option from my account. I downloaded a free app in the JP store and would like to make an in-app purchase, but my account has no credit on it.
Is there a way to put money on this JP account maybe from my US one?
Does selecting 'gift' option from the US account and giving it to the JP one work?
Would I somehow have to acquire a Japanese iTunes card to apply credit to my account?
I want to do everything without being mischievous and jail breaking my iPad, I just want to put money I own onto this account somehow!
I tried to switch accounts and use my US account to make in-app purchase but it said I had to be on the account that purchased the app (would be the JP one). I don't want to have to delete the app and re-download it in the American store and possibly lose my progress in the app. :-(
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

You cannot transfer funds nor give gifts from the US to Japan, nor as you have discovered can you make an in-app purchase through the US iTunes Store for a Japanese-sold app. So if you no longer have a Japanese credit card, you will either have to buy an iTunes card, if Apple sells them in Japan, or get someone in Japan to send you a gift certificate, reimbursing them for the cost.
Jailbreaking your iPad would not help in this matter, even if you were willing to do so.
Regards.

Bought itunes card in a different country than iTune account

We are from Canada and are on trip in the U.S.A. we decided to use the hotel's wifi connection to download some movies before a flight. I bought an iTunes card from the local store, but when I enter the activation code to receive the credit to our iTunes account there is an error that occurs. The reason that is given is our iTunes account is Canadian and the iTunes card is from the U.S. Is there any way to claim the credit from the iTunes card to our iTunes account, or am I out $15?
Thank you,

Going by a site that is based in Japan called Jlist that sells cards for the Japanese store my understanding is that you need to create a US account for the card to work. However once you download it goes into your library and works fine.
Please Note: I've not actually done this myself hence the lack of details.

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.

My iTunes account hacked, address and card details changed

I just recieved 2 emails informing me of 2 gift purchases of £5,000 yen. My iTunes is now in Japanese and my address and card details have been changed.
I have contacted iTunes support about this but god knows when I will get a reply.
I now dont trust iTunes enough to go in and change the account details.
Any clues as to how this has happened?

I just got a call from someone at the Apple Help Desk, and I gave him more information plus emailed him copies of the gift certificates which you can view in your purchase history. I printed them as PDFs and emailed them to him, you may also be able to take a screenshot. They seem to be serious about correcting this problem.
If you haven't already, I'd suggest you delete your credit card info from iTunes until we can determine how our accounts were compromised. I changed my password for the iTunes store. Apparently, changing the password for the store also changes the password for my .mac (mobileme) account so your email account will require you to input the new password.
I read somewhere that an account can get compromised from downloading music files from torrents. If the song file has some malicious code it can be executed when played in iTunes. Or possibly while downloading a torrent, a port is open on your computer that can leave you exposed. I don't if this is what has happened to me, but I can't rule it out either. I'm hoping that the attack was on Apple's side and that my computer wasn't compromised, but I'm trying to check my computer for any malware.
I've always assumed that since I use a Mac, my chance of getting affected by an outside attack is less, but I guess the danger is still there. So far, it appears that only my iTunes account has been affected, and nothing else.
Have you downloaded any files that might have compromised your computer?

My iTunes account on this computer things I am still in Japan where I used it once. But I've been in Africa and US since, so I can't purchase anything on it.

My iTunes account on this MacBook Air laptop thinks I am still in Japan where I used it once. But I've been in Africa,UK, and US since, so I can't price or purchase anything on it other than in Japanese Yen. How do I get it to offer prices in USD?

I answered my own question. It was necessary to log in to my iCloud which then recognized my location. Only took 2 months to find the answer from when the problem began )>:

ICloud with multiple family members sharing one iTunes account?

How will iCloud work for the case where multiple family members share an iTunes account but each has his/her own iPhone/iPad/PC?
Will iCloud replicate content based on email address, unique Apple ID, iTunes account, or?? If iTunes, we could have trouble as three of us share our iTunes account (started when our daughter was young and continued for simplicity).

Keep one Apple ID for iTunes purchases (apps, music, etc.) for all family members on the iTunes Store and use different Apple IDs for each iCloud user. That worked for me.

How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account? can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library. That way each iPod can have it own contents.

Why does "itunes accounts" use data with all settings OFF?

Does anyone know how to keep "iTunes accounts" under system from using cellular data?
I have already:
1. Toggled OFF all settings in the "Use cellular data for" menu.
2. Turned OFF all automatic downloads and any other options under iTunes/app store settings.
3. Turned OFF Background App refresh.
4. Turned OFF all options under iCloud sync menu.
Right now, the only thing that keeps "iTunes accounts" from pulling cellular data is turning Cellular Data completely OFF, but I don't want to do this because I lose some messaging and voicemail functions and I need to be able to use Find My Phone. I have two identical iPhone 5c's on this account. One is running iOs 8.1.2 and the above settings control it's data usage nicely. The other phone is running iOs 8.1.3 and this one uses 50-100 mb a day even with all the above settings off and the phone almost always on wifi.
I am aware that the phone will lose it's wifi connection when asleep, but that shouldn't be a problem if all the apps/settings are already set not to use cellular data. What am I missing. I've read a bunch of threads on this issue and they all suggest settings I already have OFF.

My personal phone is on 8.1.2. My daughter's phone is 8.1.3.
It is her phone that is currently having this problem, but I reported it under my account; sorry for the confusion.
My phone has had some data problems in the past, but I have been able to control them by keeping almost all data options OFF and the overall switch ON. My usage is back to less than 50 mb per month which makes sense since my phone is almost always on wifi and I don't use data dense applications.
Everything about my daughter's phone is the same as mine except for the 8.1.3 upgrade. She does use things like Instagram more than I do, but I have them all set to not use Cellular Data and the option to change these settings is locked. When I look at the usage on her phone, it isn't her apps that are pulling unexpected data; it's "iTunes accounts" under system services. All the options under iTunes/App Store (auto downloads, home sharing, etc.) and all the iCloud options are already OFF.

I am trying to change or add the email address which is attached to my itunes account. I keep getting a notice saying email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Im sure its one of my devices. How can I get my current email address added?

My itunes account is attached to an email account that I no longer have and cannot retrieve. I have been having trouble with purchases made to my itunes account and want to view my purchases. The support center said that they would email me the purchase history. However, I don't have that email address. When I go to change my email address to my current one, I get a message in red saying that "the email address is already verified for another Apple I.D." I'm sure it is one of my devices as we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones. How can I get my account to use my current email address? If one of my devices was registered using my current email address as it apparently was, do I need to figure out which device that is and remove the email address from that account? I'm so confused. I just want ALL my devices to use my current email address. I need to replace the old email address with my current one. How do I do that?
thanks for any assistance.

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

How do I change my iPod to my new iTunes account from a previous one?, How do I change my iPod to my new iTunes account from a previous one?

My son has an iPod Classic. He used to use the family computer to load his iPod. The family computer has the latest iTunes, but was under a family login. My son now has a new computer, his own iTunes account, and the iPod shows an error message when he tries to load music onto it.

Perhaps if you were to share the contents of that error message, someone could help.
