Itunes music store still not available in AUSTRALIA

I was so excited to watch the October 12 video stream and was sitting on the edge of my seat when I saw the ipod video revealed before my eyes, i was so excited I logged on and bought one straight away forgettign why I originally started watchign the video stream. i started watching originally to see if Steve Jobbs would announce music store available in Australia. Act I, Act II, Act III, one more thing and the finale and encore came and went. I was so shocked that after all this time Australia still does not have access to purchase music and now video and TV programs. Would somebody care to comment. I have written 5 letters to Apple and of course there has never been a response from the company. I am sure I am not he only one there must be more voices who would like to comment...

I read sometime back that they were in negotiations with the music labels for an iTunes Music Store in Australia but some labels as you may know are now insisting music downloads be more costly than 99 cents to which Steve Jobs has replied that they are getting greedy.
Apple has been trying to reject a price increase and as they will have to renew existing agreements soon with labels for countries in which there is already an iTunes Music Store that will likely also be an issue in future to be resolved. I don't think there will be an iTunes Music Store launch for Australia till negotiations with music labels are completed.

ITunes music store is not available in your region

I live in Jersey, Channel Islands and I am trying to create a music store account.
However, I am getting an error message after I submit my details: "The iTunes Music Store is not available in your region"
My ID shows the country as UK.
Can anyone help?

Sorry, but there is no iTunes Music Store for the Channel Islands. Though the Channel Islands are nominally under the auspices of the UK, legally they're separate entities, so the UK licenses for the iTunes Music Store don't apply and the record companies will prevent Apple from allowing you to purchase. Unless you have a legal residence in the UK (or some other country) and have a credit card with a billing address in that country, then you're out of luck, at least for now.

Want to access iTunes music store but not in a 'valid' country

Hi, I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I want to be able to buy music and videos for my new iPod and I have registered online. When I go to buy something with my credit card from the iTunes store, apparently you have to have an address for your credit card and a list of country's excluding Australia comes up. The problem is there is only about a dozen countries on the list and mine is not one of them so I can't pay by credit card. What can I do???

I really wish I was informed when I bought my ipod, that Itunes music store is not available in NZ and we don’t know when or IF it is going to be. Am feeling totally ripped off as one of the reasons I bought my ipod on Sunday was so I could download Audio books off itunes for when I am travelling. Now I go online and find out that I cant even download a measly single let alone a audio book.
Was feeling so excited about having my ipod and now just feel ripped off and extremely disappointed with Apple and the Apple salespeople. You are told how great itunes is and how you can download video, songs, books etc (when you are buying your Ipod) then once you have paid you $579+ (just for the ipod, let alone another $300 on accessories and warranty) you find out you can't download anything from itunes. Am pretty disgusted really! I researched my purchase, was going to go for a CREATIVE merely so could access NZ download sites, but was talked out of it by the sales person who showed me itunes and how great it is and I do think the IPOD itself is fantastic but wish I had of bought that CREATIVE so at least then I could have downloaded songs; books etc immediately. Bad Form from Apple, particularly given the amount of money I just spent :(((

Itunes music store is not yet available in your country?

I get a message stating "itunes music store is not yet available in your country" whenever I log into the Itunes music store. I'm in the USA and my System Prefs, Date and Time/timezone, and credit card/user info on my itunes account all have my correct location.
Also, when clicking on specific TV show icons, itunes shuts down.
any help with either of these?
PowerBook Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Check at the bottom of the main store page & make sure you are set for the US store. If not, just click on the drop down by the flag icon & make the change.

TV Shows from iTunes Music Store will not sync with my iPod

I have a video iPod (5th Generation). I just downloaded some videos from the iTunes music store and they will not sync with the iPod. I get the message "...some videos cannot be played on this iPod."
The error log says that the videos are not in a supported video format. How can that be? I purchased these from the music store.

This is actually the iPod nano (3G) forum. You might get better help, faster by posting in the iPod "Video" forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=157

ITunes Music Store will not allow me to connect

I have been trying to connect to the music store since I got my iPod last week. I have been using iTunes for a long time and I have always been able to connect to the store. When I installed the new software that came with my iTunes the store stopped working. I have stopped all anti virus, firewalls, security and anything else that has been recommended in other posts. I opened windows/system32/drivers and that was not the problem. I contacted apple and they gave me troubleshooting problems that didn't work, as I've tried them a million times. I also pinged phobos.apple.com and it says connection timed out 4 times and said information lost. So I don't know what else to do. I have windows xp with sevice pack 2 (which had been ruled out as the problem, I gurantee it), norton security (not the problem, I've disabled it and iTunes is allowed, nor is windows firewall the problem) and I can connect to the internet. The specific error message I am getting is iTunes cannot connect to the music store, network connection has been reset. make sure your network connections are active and try again. I just got a giftcard and I want to use it....any suggestions that aren't already all over every thread in the discussions?
Thanks a lot!

I would first check your firewall settings, as well as your security software to make sure they are not blocking the Store connection.

Ok.......... I tried to download music from the music store, but this message came up "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The Network connection has timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct andyour network connection is active, then try again."

Selecting buy in iTunes Music store does not bring up Apple ID login

When I choose the Buy button to purchase a song in the Music store, nothing happens.

Hi LindaMW,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest signing out of your iTunes Store account from within the iTunes software.
Then sign back in.
The instructions on how to do that are in the article below:

ITunes Music Store will not load

I had this problem before I installed 6.0.3.5 and still having this problem. I heard of some malware being passed around in chat rooms that affected Apple computers I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. I can open iTunes but just cannot access the store... Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Have you all seen the number of instances of this? Upgrade to latest iTunes and then not be able to start it?
don't be silly, jb11. read the thread again. ranpat86 can launch his itunes.
Upgrade to latest iTunes and then not be able to start it? I have XP & Norton.
is that Norton Internet Security 2005?
are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if the answer to both questions is "yes", try giving the trusty Lorraine M technique a whirl:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
if at least one of the answers is "no" start your own thread (use the "Post New Topic" link at the top of the Topics list), and explicitly describe your symptoms. err on the side of too much detail rather than too little.

Problem in connecting to iTunes/Music Store PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I can't connect to the itnues music store and get the following error message when I try:
itunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
If anyone could give me advice on what to do I would be very grateful!!!! Oh, you might have to explain things in very simple terms. My IT knowledge is pretty basic.
Thanks

Hi stewart,
I assume you can connect to the internet otherwise, through your browser, email client, etc?
If so, check this post:
Can't connect to the iTunes Music Store
If not, investigate your internet connection.

Requests for Music NOT available in iTunes Music Store

Hello,
I was wondering when, if ever, will there be a place within iTunes Music Store to request music by an artist you already have but not their complete catalog. For example, you mention under Frank Sinatra's bio his Reprise years yet have nothing from his Reprise Years even though you still acknowledge that Sinatra Reprise was one of his best selling compilations.
Also certain artists show up under compilations but not themselves. Example - Tim Miner. So my question is - is there a way to request an album or an artist and be alerted as to when they or the specific album has been added?
Thank you

I was wondering when, if ever, will there be a place within iTunes Music Store to request music by an artist...
Its always been there!
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Its near the bottom of the main Apple iPod + iTunes page. (it has an icon of a pencil next to it)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
You can also, from the iTunes menu bar, go iTunes>provide iTunes feedback. That will take you to the music request page.
Hope this helps.

Itunes music store not available in your country yet.

I just did a clean reinstall of OS 10.3.5, and when I try to access the music store I get
"itunes music store not available in your country yet.
You will be able to browse and listen to previews but wont be able to purchase music. To browse music store, select a country below."
So I select United States and nothing happens.
I am in the US and have an itunes account.
The itunes version is 4.2.
Also, what is the highest itunes version I can use with 10.3.5?
I am held down to this OS version because of some other software on my mac that won't work with anything higher than 10.3.5.
thanks
roger c.

First, the iTunes Store has required iTunes 6 at minimum for quite a while now. So you're going to have to upgrade from iTunes 4.2. If you want to run iTunes 7, you'll need to get to Mac OS X 10.3.9. Otherwise you can download iTunes 6.0.5 here, but you won't be able to purchase movies or (I believe) videos unless you have iTunes 7. There's also no guarantee how long iTunes 6 will work.
Second, you've posted in the iTunes for Windows forum. Normally you'll get the quickest and most accurate responses if you post in the iTunes for Mac forum.
Regards.

New podcast page not appearing in iTunes Music Store yet

Our latest addition to the WhiskyCast podcast series, WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings, was added to the iTunes Music Store last weekend. However, it's still not showing up in search results unless one types in the complete name of the show, and then only shows up as a single episode -- not with a page of its own like our other podcasts. I know it takes a day or two for new podcasts to show up in the search results, but without the page, there's no "Report a Concern" link for me to check with the iTMS team on whether there's an issue or not. Should I wait a few more days to see if the problem straightens itself out, or is there someone within Apple that I can reach out to to see whether there's a problem with my feed that's keeping the page from showing up.
Here's a link to the debut episode in iTMS and what iTunes displays:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskycast-virtual-tastings/id460281190
Thanks!
Mark Gillespie

The link you give is to the Store page for your podcast - this is what the Search results will link to once they become available. Your page does have the 'Report A Concern' link but I shouldn't bother (iin any case it's really meant for people to complain about content or whatever).
It can take some days for the Search results to show; it's been eight, so it should happen any time now. If you want to contact Support (though I don't think you will find them at all helpful), go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

Ipod will not play itunes music store purchased music

I know this topic has been discussed here before, but i still have yet to find a valid answer, so i figured i'd start another thread to see if anyone has found a solution yet. sorry for the repeat subject.
I have a 30GB ipod (with the 4 buttons above the scroll wheel) which suddenly will not play music which has been purchased from the itunes music store. everything which was imported from CDs plays fine. the songs in question play fine through itunes - both from my library on my G5, as well as from the ipod, so it does not seem to be an authorization problem. i've reset the ipod numerous times, trashed itunes preferences, updated to the latest version of itunes, and updated the ipod itself to the latest software version... all to no avail. when i select an itunes purchased album on the ipod, it simply cycles through, song by song, without playing anything.
I haven't restored the ipod to the factory settings yet, as i would like to avoid doing so because i will loose some music which i previously only had on a now dead ibook (faulty logic board). besides, i know from reading old posts, other people with the same problem have tried this as well, to no avail.
can anyone offer any other help/advice on how to remedy this problem? thanks in advance.

It appears that some songs in the iTunes store that were added to the store since the end of November will not play on 1st generation shuffles. They transfer to the shuffle fine but will not play. These same songs transfer to other iPods and play just fine. Many people are having these problems (see the Apple discussion boards). The only known solution is to burn the tracks to a cd and re-import them into your library (a royal pain in the butt). And, yes, I have tried all of Apple's recommendations and even went through troubleshooting with tech support over the phone. I was told they'd call me in a few days after speaking with their engineers but never heard back from them.
PLEASE contact apple either by the following link:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/ipod/
OR by calling the support number:
1-800-275-2273
Hopefully, with enough complaints, Apple will be forced to correct the problem. It seems to me (and quite a few other people) that something changed on the encryption/the way they are encoding new music in the store that has made the music incompatible with our shuffles.

Can not connect to the itunes music store

yea, I can't connect to the iTunes music store. a message pops up saying, "iTunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection was refused" then it goes on to say that "Make sure your network settings or correct and your network connection is active, then try again." well this started happening on and off before 6.0.3 came out, then when I upgraded to 6.0.3 it would always do it, not letting me access the store. I have deleted iTunes and reinstalled it, reset my modem and router, restarted my computer. And the internet connection works fine, because I am typing this on the computer I am having the problem with, and I can connect to services like aim. also, i have another comuter on my network, and it connects to the music store just fine. please help, thanks!
