ITunes store: country issue

Hello, I'm Italian, I bought a movie on iTunes for an American dear friend of mine. When he logged in, he couldn't download it. The message was "Error. This code is only valid for customers of the Italy store". Is there anyway to fix this and get a code which is ok in the US too?
I relly would like my friend to get my gift and, of course, I would hate losing the money.
Thanks in advance,
Pier

Not from outside of the USA. Send him the money through an international cheque.

  • Changing itunes store country issue

    When trying to change store countires it tells me i cant because i ahve at least one completed pass outstading?  I have some downloads that i bought but dont want to download them anymore how can i get rid of them off my account?

    In order to change countries you have to bring the balance on your account to zero.  You will either have to use the downloads or write to Apple and ask them to remove them (I doubt they can credit them to you so you will lose them).

  • HT5085 iTunes Store Country Limitation in iTunes Match

    I have just bought a one year subscription to iTunes Match.
    I am based in UAE and have access to the Apple AE iTunes Store and not to any content on the US Store.
    My question is, suppose I upload a song that is available in iTunes Store US, will iTunes Match updated it for me from that Library or will the update be limited only to the local store items.
    Thanks.

  • ITunes Store country change - error 5002

    this is driving me crazy....
    I m trying to change iTunes Store country and every time I go through the process (on macbook air, iphone 6 and iPad mini...always the same result), I get the same message....'cant connect to iTunes Store', 'We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002)'.
    I have tried everything I could think of and everything I have seen online as possible solution - nothing works. i tried with the old country billing address and card details still in my profile, as well as with the new country billing address and card details. makes no difference.
    need some help please!!

    For real apple you should make a progam or something that people like me that want to change country of their apple IDS that have any amount of money it should go for charity, it would be a great idea so you are not only helping the costumers like me you are also helping the poor people.

  • Change iTunes Store country without a credit card

    Hi,
    - I have a Philippine iTunes store account WITHOUT a credit card on file, which I've been using for a few years now
    - I wanted to buy an app but I don't have a credit card so I used my dad's credit card (with his permission of course). His billing address is in QATAR, so I changed my iTunes store account to QATAR.
    - I successfully bought the app and want to change the country to Philippines again
    - When I do, it's asking for a credit card, which I don't have. The "none" option is gone
    Is there a way to change it back? I really need to because the Qatar app store is crappy (lots of missing apps).
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    To change the country associated with your iTunes Store account, you must provide a payment method, such as a credit or debit card associated with a valid billing address in the new country. Also, in which country do you reside? In accordance with the iTunes Store Terms of Sale, items on any particular country's iTunes Store are available only for distribution to customers who reside in that country and use a credit or debit card issued in and for that country. 
    You can review the iTunes Store Terms of Sale for more information:

  • What happens by changing iTunes Store Country?

    Hi and thanks for reading.
    I have an Italian iTunes Store account with about 350 purchased apps.
    If I change my settings to a new store, i.e. US, by using an US credit card, can anybody confirm that I am supposed to be able to keep all my 350 apps in my HD and ready to be syncronized?
    The extra questions are these:
    When I am working with the US Apple ID:
    1) what about the updates that are coming for the old Italian Applestore Apps?
    2) can I download from the cloud the apps that I bought in the past from my Italian account and that are not in my iOS devices anymore?
    Thank you.
    Cheers

    I have had issues with similar things. It appears that while the already downloaded Apps still work, updates (at least through iTunes) will not work after you switch country. I was told by Apple support that this is indeed the case. This being especially strange in my case as I changed store within the EU, and stayed within the same market.
    While understandable for music / movies (that you cannot redownload) from a legal perspective (not that it is logical) and less of an issue with music since you can just keep a backup and you never need to upgrade the music, it makes no sense for apps to disable redownload / updates of apps that you have bought.

  • Secure Link to itunes store failed issue

    I cannot access the itunes store or even authorize my computer.  I have been working on this for months.  Done everything that Apple support emailed me and I am ready to go crazy.  My diagnostic shows secure link to itunes store failed.  Can anyone help?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • How to transfer music from PC to my iPad mini and iTunes Store app issue

    I am new with IPad mini, and have issues with music on device:
    A) I wonder whether I can transfer music from PC to device (A 1432) and
    B) I have problems 'approaching' iTunes Store app because it shows on screen interface for iTunes U app (which I downloaded previously and deleted it in the meantime because of this problems)...cannot shut it down because there is no way to exit this mode.
    hope someone will help so I can finally have some music on device.
    Thanks!

    Thanks a lot Ralph9430!
    I did manage to solve problem of music transfer iPad mini-PC, however I didn't succeed in approaching iTunes Store and there is nothing in the manual about it.

    Does anyone have any idea what to do in order to have approach to ITunes Store.
    Tnx!

  • Cannot connect to iTunes store, longstanding issue

    I have not been able to connect to the iTunes store for quite some time now, at least 5 months. It hasn't really mattered to me since I haven't needed to purchase or rip anything for a while, but in light of christmas, now I do!
    Everything in iTunes works fine, my internet is normal, I just cannot connect to the store. I also have zune software on my computer and I have not been able to connect to the marketplace for the same amount of time. i suppose that because both of these issues are arising and i have fine internet connection, iTunes is likely not the issue, and my computer probably is. This being said, and though I have tried to find the solution to this issue elsewhere on the internet for a bit now, I still can't figure it out.
    tl;dr: can't connect to itunes store, it's happened for a while, internet is fine, so what's wrong?

    This problem is related to having your computer, Apple device, etc
    (from your current physical location) being unable to resolve/connect to
    the following site/domain names and their related IP address(s).
    The following table is presented to help explain/clarify this issue:
    Site/Domain name | IP Address
    phobos.apple.com | 17.250.237.43
    deimos3.apple.com | 206.169.246.144
    albert.apple.com | 17.149.240.64
    gs.apple.com | 17.151.36.30
    itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.171
    ax.itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.139
    If ANY of these sites/IP address are unresolvable (via PING for example)
    then the ability/usability of Apple's iTunes (and the Store) will suffer.
    To have yourself verify that (if) you can connect to these sites, you'll
    need to open up a MSDOS/Command prompt window
    and then type "ping" (without the quotes) and one of the (above) listed sites.
    For example you would type the following at your command prompt:
    ping phobos.apple.com (then press the return/enter key)
    which (should) give you results like this:
    pinging phobos.apple.com.akadns.net http://17.250.237.43 with 32 bytes of data:
    Note: Anyt response other than "reply" (like Request timed out)
    indicates a problem resolving the site's name to an IP address
    and (generally) has NOTHING to do with your (normally functioning) computer
    as this is dependent on the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that you are
    using to connect to the Internet (like Sprint, Insightbb, etc) with.
    The 'key' here is that it's the ISP's responsibility to (properly) resolve
    the site's name to (one or more of) Apple's sites.
    If (however) Apple (itself) is (currently) experiencing a DDOS attack
    (Distributed Denial Of Service) upon one (or more) of it's sites, then THAT
    would explain a possible cause of the problem.
    However I stress THAT is NOT the problem since I can connect from my Insightbb
    (ISP provider) at home but (currently) can not connect at work via their ISP.
    This is (also) WHY the "tag" of the FQDNSN (Fully-Qualified DNS Name)
    is listed as http://akadns.net since that is the ISP/Router resolving the DNS name!
    I hope that this has helped shed some light as to WHo's problem this REALLY is,
    and will help to stop the Apple-User 'finger-pointing' game in it's tracks!
