ITunes Store Accounts in different countries.

Hi,
I first made an iTunes account when i was living in france. And so all the apps that i bought was from the iTunes French Store.
Now i have moved to India and want to shift my account to the Indian iTunes Store. How do I do that? Do i get to keep all the Apps that i have bought in the previous Store?
Thanks...

To purchase in the India store, you will need to update your store account with credit card info that has a billing address in India. Then, scroll to the bottom of the Store page and look for an icon (on the right) of the French flag. Click the icon and look for the India store and select it.
As to your apps, as far as I know, you can keep them. I'm just not sure if there are issues with updates. Perhaps someone else knows more about that.

Changing iTunes store account to different country - subscriptions

If i change my UK itunes account to one in Belgium, does that mean i lose all of my subcriptions ? I am currently subscrided to Martha Living magazine which is available in both itunes stores but am not sure what will happen to the remainder of my subcription once i switch my country on my account.

Kay - I am about to start a 3 year period working in Belgium. I currently have a UK itunes account.
If I create a new Belgium itunes account are there are any issues switching between the 2 accounts within itunes and across my mobile devices with respect to keeping all my content (inc apps)??
Presumably if an app doesn't exist on a certain itunes store then I would need to sign-in to my old account periodically to update them?
Although itunes t&c prohibit using their store when outside the geographical confines of the respective country, in practice, if I keep my uk itunes billing address then I could switch between the two??

Can I use 2 different countries alternatively in one iTunes Store account?

Thank you very much in finding time to read (and possibly answer) this query of mine. My iTunes Store account is Philippine-based (even though I live in Dubai right now) ever since I had one and most of my apps we're purchased in that store. However, since a there are a lot of apps and most especially eBooks which I could only get from the US iTunes Store, I am planning to alternatively change the country of my account from Philippines to US and vice versa whenever I need to update apps on a specific store. But my default country would still be in the Philippine iTunes Store. Is that possible? Can I still read my purchased eBooks (from the US iTunes Store) for my iBooks app even if I revert back to the Philippine iTunes Store? Because the eBook selection for the Philippine iBookstore *****! It doesn't offer popular titles or new ones for people to read. Anyway, I've got my auntie's US address for me to be able to make a US iTunes Store account and I'll be using a iTunes gift card for my purchases since I don''t have a US-based credit/debit card with me.
I'd be so grateful to anybody who could give me specific answers to my specific questions on this post.
Thanks in advance!

It is illegal to access an iTunes Store in one country from another country. I know what you are doing, so I'm informing you that doing so is a violation of law.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

How do I change my Ipad to access Itunes store in a different country than the one I usually use and have my account with?

I usually use the Itunes application on my Ipad in FRence and use the French Itunes store. I am now in Cyprus and after synchronising my Ipad there I now can access the US Itunes Store but my purchases are refused as my account is with the French Itunes store. How do I either open an account with the US Itunes store or revert to the French Itunes store on my Ipad?

synchronising is not the problem i think, you need a new US apple id. i only have a malaysian credit card but i have separate ids for US UK and Malaysia. i have travelled to these 3 countries and have home adresses in each country but for buying stuff, I use an iTunes store card instead of a credit card cos its easier. you do not need a credit card that must have billing address from the same country as the iTunes store. So I would suggest if you are currently based in the US go the nearest apple store buy an iTunes store card (i buy in multiples of US$100 with a credit card) and use your current US home address as the US iTunes address.
so log off your french iTunes store account, create new US apple id for your iTunes store account using your current US address and then redeem your itunes store card and voila you are set to go. (did i mention you will also need a new separate email address for the new apple id) i have one each from gmail, yahoo and hotmail for each separate id.
the only drawback is that when you want to do an update for the apps that you buy from the different iTunes store, you must log in to that iTunes store account ie if you buy an app from the US store you must log in and update with the US store id and to update the apps from the French store you must log off from the US store and log in again with the french store id.
hope this makes sense to you.

How to get Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information I want to create a Paid Books Account use apple ID

I was given this address from the Apple customer support team.
I have an active existing iTunes store account and use the same Apple ID for signing into my iTunes Connect Account that distributes Apps.
I have created some books using the iBook author and in order to distribute content on the iBookstore I have been told electronically that I need a new Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information valid until 2013?
I want to create a Paid Books Account using the same email address, tax information and bank information. This has been most frustrating, as I cannot get passed the sign in section and there is no contact person I can speak to. I was of the understanding the iTunes connect account and the Developer programs which I paid good money for is all what I needed to be paid for selling iBooks on the iBookstore???
I only have one email address and wish to also use it for the Paid Books Account. I have books ready to be exported and published.
I am also having trouble locating and downloading iTunes Producer. I understand I need to have the Paid Books Account active to access the iTunes Producer program. Please help.

Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,
GB

HT4137 I have two iPad's that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to play games with with other, but it recognizes them as the same. I have set up two different iCloud accounts, but still not recognizing the users as different. What

Hello, I have no idea if my question went out, so I'll post it again. I have two iPads (one 3rd gen and one 4th) that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to game with each other, but the apps recognize them as the same. I have created two different iCloud accounts in an attempt to differentiate between the two, but no luck. How can I continue to use the same iTunes/store account for music and movies, but also have the two devices recognize each other for games?

You can share your iTunes ID and still have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, they don't have to be the same. If you kids don't already have an iCloud account, have them set up separate accounts on their devices using separate IDs. If they are already sharing your account, migrate their devices to separate accounts. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos they wish to keep to ther camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If they are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to them so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in their new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from thier device and won't effect your device), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7). Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create their new account and choose Merge to upload the data. Once everyone is on a separate account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each account separately and delete your data from their account.

How many different Apple TVs can I share one iTunes Store account with?

I currently have one AppleTV at my home, and one at my mothers home. We both share the same iTunes Store account, therefore we share the movies that each other purchase. I am interested in getting my father and my aunt and Apple TV as well, I want them to also be able to use my iTunes Store account. That way, if say my father and I both want to watch the same movie, we can split the cost.
I also currently own an iPhone, and an iPad. I'm going to be getting my mother and father iPads as well. I want them to be able to use my iTunes Store account on those devices as well, and be able to stream movies on them.
I know it says that your iTunes Store account can only be associated with 10 devices, but I'm wondering where Apple TVs fit into that stance. It's probably a stupid question, but I was just curious if the fact that it is iCloud changes anything.
Essentially, I'm wondering if four Apple TVs, three iPads, one iPhone, and my one desktop computer can all stream my iCloud movie content, simultaneously. I doubt there will ever be more than two or three going simultaneously, but I just want to know the limitations before I buy these gifts for my family members and run into an unpleasant surprise.
Thank you for your time,
Charles

as many as you can other computers with itunes accessing the shared ituned lib
likely the limitation is the network bandwidth more then number of connected devices

Hi can someone tell me if it is possible to have two accounts (from different countries) in the same laptop?

Hi...
The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside to make purchases.

Itunes Store account cancelled

My Itunes Store is TEMPORARALY DISABLED... They give me a site to go to Itunes Support & I have been unable to contact anyone or a link that can help

Never set up a different account. Purchases made with an account can only be authorized to that account and cannot be transferred. You need to go back to using that account and change the settings so it is authorized in your new country. Accounts cannot be deleted, just abandoned, so the old account does indeed exist.

ITunes 11.0.3 and multiple iTunes Store accounts - any Idea

Hello,
I have an German and an Austrian iTunes Store Account. Main reason for that
is that Apple does not allow you to transfer Apps bought from an account in one Country
to an iTunes Store account from another country, although those countries may be
members of the European Union.
Anyway: Prior iTunes Version 11.0.3 handling Apps from two different accounts was
relatively easy. I clicked on "Apps" on the left hand side panel in iTunes.
All Apps would be then displayed.
Then there was an "Check for Updates" Button. Click on that would display *only* the Apps
that need update bought with the account that is *currently* signed into the iTunes Store
and then just click on the "Update All" Button and thats it. Then I would sign out and sign in
with the other account, repeat the procedure described above and that's it.
Now with iTunes 11.0.3 Apple made the entire thing a night mare. I click on Apps in the left hand
iTunes panel. Then there is an "Updates" tab. You click on that and then all Apps needing an update
from all iTune Accounts you have are displayed. You click on update all and then iTunes starts updating
the Apps until it comes to the first App bought with a different iTunes Store Account. Then is stops with
a warning message. Then you need to sign out and in. Then restart update process until it comes
to an applications that is bought with a different iTunes account and so on and so on.
Any idea or work-around how to get iTunes 11.0.3 to have the same behavour liek teh versiosn before ?
Thank you!

Is this the error your gettings?
If so, remove the installer, and redownload the itunes set-up installer

Can multiple iTunes Store accounts be linked to one iTunes Library

Hi there! I'm having trouble getting a clear answer to this question. If I'm being confusing, forgive me. We are a family of three with two iPod Touches and one older iPod. We recently purchased a new iMac and I migrated our common iTunes Library to the Mac. We won't be using to PC anymore. There are three separate accounts on the Mac but all of them point to the same iTunes Library.
Up until now, we have been using my Apple ID/iTunes Store account for all purchases. I would like to set up a separate iTunes store account for my daughter so she can use all the gift cards she gets to make her own purchases. *If I give her a separate iTunes Store account, can whatever she purchases go into our common library?* I don't want to her to lose access to all the apps and music we have already accumulated.
If both accounts can download content to the same library, can I expect any problems when I sync the different iPods? All of them are set up to sync manually so that we can choose which music playlists, movies and apps go to which device. Will my daughter have to sync her iPod twice -- logging each iTunes store account once -- to get all her content? Are there problems with updating apps?
Sorry this is so long! I keep getting the same answer from an Apple tech via e-mail but it doesn't address the exact points of my concerns! Thanks for any help you can provide.

We have several macs, several ipods, a couple of iphones, several itunes store accounts. So far no problem. You might have to share passwords if you want to share content. I think iStore accounts can only be used on up to 5 computers. We have 7, so have to be a little careful about that. I don't think there is a limit on how many iDevices can be used with one account. I also don't think there is a limit on how many accounts can be used on a single computer (might be wrong about that). You have to be logged into the iStore to download content, and your computer has to be registered with the account to use the content, but once it is on, and registered, syncing to an iPod is not a problem (you do not have to login in again for each account the content was purchased from). I'm just glad I only have two kids, and one wife - things could get trickier in a big family with . . .

Question about multiple computers on one iTunes Store account

I have an iPad which I need to sync with several (actually 8) different Macs around the country. This is the nature of the work I'm doing at the moment. I plan to set all 8 Macs to the same iTunes Store account. I don't need to authorise them to play music or video, but I do want to be able to transfer content and apps I purchase so that I can backup the iPad whichever office I happen to visit. If I purchase an app in one office, presumably I can download it again for free on any of the other Macs should I need to. Understand that this is purely so that I can sync and backup in multiple locations without losing my apps or content.
Does anyone know if what I'm proposing will work? Is the "Authorized Computer" limit purely a limit on playing back content in iTunes? Or will I be prevented from syncing my apps and content on more than 5 computers?

What is not yet clear is quite how the new rules square up with the old rules that one account can be authorized on up to five computers and up to five accounts authorized on any one device.
Unless I'm much mistaken I think you can backup an iPad/iPhone on any computer running iTunes without authorizing it to any of the individual accounts that may have been used for purchased content on it first, although transferring purchased content from the device to the computer does require prior account authorization.
Since you can re-download apps at any time and, at least if you are in the US, now re-download previously purchased music, I think you should be fine. Thought I'd still suggest that it might be easier to take a portable version of your library with you than set up eight independent instances of iTunes.

Did you use an existing Apple ID or create a new one just for paid books sales/distribution?

Use and update purchased apps from one iTunes store account to another?

I have two iTunes Store Accounts (Apple ID's) with the vast majority of purchases, music and apps, made on one account, but I've created a second account and wish to use it to sync with my iPhone.
Will I be able to continue to use and update the apps on my iPhone purchased with the first account?
Thanks.

This sounds like the kinda thing Apple support might be able to help with. It's possible they might be able to merge the 2 accounts or switch user names around or something.
Apps and Protected music files are locked to one account. I don't think there is any way you(personaly) can transfer and/or updated them on a different account.
