Itunes store country settings
After having updated my iPhone 4 to IOS 6 I cannot get the Apps Updates anymore. It says that I have to change the country settings from "American" to "Swiss". Altough in my profile it is Swiss. Anyone has an idea how to solve this?
Have you tried changing from the French store to the UK store? Click on the store icon and when it opens scroll to the bottom of the main pane where you'll find the "My Store" drop down menu. Click on the flag icon and choose the Union flag from the window that appears, this will return you to the UK store.

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.
sorry for my bad english, its not my native lenguage.
Thank you for your time.Vilenueve,

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!!

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.
CheersI 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. -
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:

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.

ITunes Store Language Settings
I am an American living in Mexico. I understand that I need to use the
Mexico store. My question is: can I change the language to English for
the Mexico store. I see on the apple website that you have a Latin
America (English) option. Can I have this option in the iTunes Store?
Thank You for your time.If you wish to run iTunes in a language that is not the default for the country that you are living in (and therefore paying from), the iTunes helpdesk point to this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242 . This article indicates that the iTunes store should pick up the language you have assigned to your MAC, however this is incorrect. iTunes picks up the language from the country you designate you are paying from.
You can change the country by using the flag button at the extreme bottom of the iTunes home page, however this will allow you to find the things you want, but you must change it back to actually purchase the content.
If you think, as I do, that this is a fault with their system, the ONLY option you have is to complain to their helpdesk, email address [email protected] If you ask to have the e-mail referred to Ashley, maybe the sheer weight of complaints will get this sorted. -
ITunes Store language settings or using an overseas store?
Is there any way to change the Japan iTunes Store interface to display English instead of Japanese?
Or failing that, is there any way to use the US or UK stores if I only have a Japan credit card?"Is there any way to use the US or UK stores if I only have a Japan credit card?"
No I'm afraid there's not. Unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS. -
Are contents of the ITunes store country-centric
In the iTunes store I am offered podcasts and some albums, but cannot see any songs library to buy songs. Someone mentioned that the store contents are country-centric. But why can users located in India not be permitted to buy songs? If I visit the US will my store display songs?
Or, am I doing something wrong?
TIANo one is going to fool around with this thing on a dial-up.
Which is why a broadband connection is highly recommended.
I don't think the store will survive this bad business decision.
They don't seem to be hurting after 5+ years and +2 billion downloads.
Sounds like you need to change a setting somewhere. -

ITunes store country availability
Anyone has any ideas how Apple decides where to make iTunes store purchases possible?
I am located in Bulgaria and am a big Apple fan- iPhones, iPods, iMacs, etc.- but can not purchase anything on the iTunes store and it is a bit frustratingWhich is probably at least a large part of the reason there's no iTunes Store in your country.
