ITunes store: Purchasing from other stores

I'd like to purchase video content from the iTunes store,however I am registered with the Belgian store, and I cannot purchase from any other store. Am I limited only to this, or is there a way I can shop from the USA store for example?

Although this question has been covered quite often:
In order to buy from a certain country's iTMS, you do need
either: a CC with a billing address in that country
or: an address in that country plus a prepaid card/gift voucher issued by iTMS in that country.
If you don't meet one of this conditions, there is no solution for you.
-sorry but the copyright holders wanted it that way.

My pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

my pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

I have somewhat of a similar problem. After iTunes last update, I am missing some of my purchased files of music,ringtones, and TV shows. Possibly movies, but just thought of that and did not look yet. Seems everytime there is an iTunes update, something happens, but usually an easy fix by just deleting music files from CD's that I loaded onto iTunes and no longer recognized after an update and reload from the hard drive. This time I do not have a current back up of all the music, ringtones, and tv shows I have purchased.
So I am also wondering how can I redownload purchases without being charged when there is no file left on the hard drive. It just stays listed in iTunes though.

You need a credit or gift card from the country you want to purchase content from as well as an address in that country.

How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

Hi John,
I appreciate your prompt response.
We have an Australian client here in the Philippines and would want to purchase an adobe software under Creative Cloud Licensing.
Since this type of licensing is not yet available here in the Philippines, they are suggesting that they can purchase it in their country.
My main concern is, will there be any conflict upon installing/activating an adobe software under Creative Cloud which will be purchased from their country?
And what are the steps for installing and activating a software under this type of license.

Hollow stars.... itunes assigns an album average based on my star ratings, but in what scenario do Songs get assigned a hollow star? does itunes acquire info from other media programs or solely from what ive rated in itunes, orrr....

Hollow stars.... itunes assigns an album average based on my star ratings, but in what scenario do Songs get assigned a hollow star? does itunes acquire info from other media programs or solely from what ive rated in itunes, or does itunes use other peoples ratings... Hollow Star assignment basis?

If you assign songs a rating an unrated album gets an automatic rating, which you can override by rating it.
If you assign an album a rating unrated songs get an automatic rating, which you can override by rating them.
iTunes doesn't import ratings from tags, or third party services. You set them.
You can't turn automatic ratings off.

Find which country store was an iTunes song purchased from?

I found some old purchased iTunes songs on my laptop and I'm curious how can I find out which country/store that I bought them from. Since I'm an iTunes music collector so I have a lot of different iTunes accounts for many foreign stores. So I just want to ask if it's possible for me to find out which store I bought a song from. Thanks!

Which countries have you been to and purchased songs whilst you've been there ? You can view your purchase history via your computer's iTunes, that will show you the currency : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support.

Is there any way to recover lost iTune I purchased from the itunes store?

Is there any way to recover my iTunes Library without re-purchasing all the songs-library was lost in PC problems.

Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:

Purchasing from other International I-Tune Stores

Why do I need to create another I-Tunes account with another email address just to order from the Japanese or UK, etc I-Tunes store if I have a US I-Tunes account?

This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
b) a mailing address for your residence 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, again, 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.

Songs that I recently added to my iTunes (not purchased from iTunes store) will not sync with my iPod touch 4th generation. How can I fix this?

I typically download my music directly from youtube. I have never had any issue when it came to putting it on my ipod touch (4th generation). However, today, I downloaded a couple of songs, added them to my iTunes (11.1.4). When I hit "sync" it said at the top that it was "Synching iPod: Steps 1of 3." It went through these steps incredibly quickly, a matter of seconds really, and I went to check it they had synced. They had not. I tried this several times before uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Even with the re-install, it does not work. I am wondering if it is because these songs were not downloaded directly from the iTunes store. i tried downloading a song from the iTunes store and it is currently in my iPod, so I know that it is able to sync music. I just started using this version of iTunes as I just installed it on the laptop I just bought (windows 8).

Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?
Setup via wifi?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?

Purchasing from other country iTunes site

I tried to download the Beat It cover by Pomplamousse, (ref. http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/beat-it/id362278813?i=362278850&ign-mpt=uo%3D6 ) . An pop up box told me to switch to the US store, I clicked OK. I could see the Tribute to Famous People album page in iTunes, but cannot purchase the song because an error message pops up telling me I can only purchase from the Canadian iTunes store.
How can I create another or modify my Apple ID to allow me to purchase songs from the US store?

In order to purchase from the U.S. Store, you would need to have a U.S. account. You would need a U.S. billing address, a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes gift card purchased in the U.S. and you would need to be physically located in the U.S.

I am unable to redeem iTunes cards from my iPhone 5 or my PC using my account. I am able to use mmy PC to access and purchase from other's accounts. I get a temporary unavilable to redeem message or an iTunes unknown 5002 error.

My iPhone 5 and my PC (Windows 7) will not allow me to redeem cards or make purchases. I get an unknown iTunes error 5002 on the PC and when using the iPhone it goes blank after a code is entered and does not return. It recovers when the home button is pressed. The software is up to date and this has been tried by USB and Wi-Fi from different netwroks. This matter has persisted for more than five days without a resolution from Apple support. The same PC allows purchases from iTunes from other accounts belonging to others who use the same PC with their IOS devices (iPhone 5, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle).

Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Can i move iTunes app purchases from one account to another?

My daughter has an itues account and she uses it for her purchases from the itunes store. She purchased an iPod Touch for her son and used her account with the iPod to purchase apps for him. She just purchased an iPad for him and obviously all the purchased apps he used on the iPod Touch cannot be downloaded to the new iPad without her having her account on the iPad. If we create an iTunes account for him, is there any way to transfer the purchased games etc to his account.
If I understand correctly, there can be more than one account on the iPad but my daughter does now want him to have access to her account. If this is not possible, can we set it up so he can only access his iTunes account and not hers? In other words if we download all the games etc that were purchased for him, will they be available if she leaves her account on the iPad but changes the PW so he cannot access the account? He would only have access to his iTunes account.

You can only use one account per iPad, and you can't transfer purchases to other accounts

Family sharing is not allowing purchases from other parent phone

Hi,
My husband and I both have iphone 5S with IOS 8 on them. He has set up Family sharing as the organizer I am the Parent. His account has always been the main one we have purchased from. My question is that we thought with Family Sharing, once everything is set up I won't need to use his Master Password to still download material. After he approves the initial setup I can purchase using my ID (without a CC attached) and it will allow me to download content but bill his CC on file on his account. Is this true? If so then how come I keep being prompted on both itunes on my PC and my iphone for his master password? Is there a setting that isn't correct?
Thanks

Same issue. Annoying. I was looking forward to this feature more than any other in iOS 8.
I was able to manually sync the applications from iTunes to the phone, but not via the phone only (the iCloud app store download). I get that "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID" error "because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
One of the applications I was able to install successfully via iTunes wouldn't update either, so I logged out of my spouse's account to see what would happen when I tried to update it. It just spun and spun and never updated. I restarted the phone, tried again (with her ID) and it gave the error. Logged out and into my account, and was able to update.
If the error is caused by application developers not "allowing" Family Sharing, I'm afraid most old applications which aren't being updated anymore will never work. Again, this sort of deflates the value of the "feature".
Either this is a poorly implemented feature with a lot of bugs, or Apple misled us into believing this feature was something that it isn't.

International / foreign purchases from other countries for dual nationals

My Friends (quoting John McCain),
I live in both the US and in France splitting my time between the two countries. I have 2 houses. I have 1 credit card in France and 1 credit card in the USA. I have a billing address in each country.
I have an iTunes account based on my US credit card and billing address. When I download music purchased from the US store everything goes into my account. No problem. Love iTunes.
However, I also want to buy French music (C'est normal, non?). I understand the need to have a credit card and billing address in the country. I do.
The problem is the only solutions I see to this problem are to: (A) set up 2 separate iTunes accounts, one in the USA and one in France, or (B) somehow purchase gift cards for myself in France and buy from iTunes France but using my single US account.
If I set up 2 accounts, I can't merge my libraries... or at least I'm not sure how I could do that.
I have not tried the gift card idea. I'm not sure how to purchase them or how it would work. But it seems like this might be the only solution.
Does anyone know which is the best solution?
Or does anyone have simpler or more creative ideas on how to deal with this problem?
I'm sure I'm not alone.
Thanks in advance to all of you who have posted before me and to all of you who might respond with ideas.

So, set up an iTunes France account. You qualify.

Yes, this would be the correct solution.
(B) somehow purchase gift cards for myself in France and buy from iTunes France but using my single US account.
You can't use French gift cards with a U.S. account so that wouldn't work.
If I set up 2 accounts, I can't merge my libraries... or at least I'm not sure how I could do that.
Just because you have two separate accounts doesn't mean you have to have two separate libraries, as far as I know. I haven't tried this as I have only one account but you should be able to authorize you computer to both accounts.
And, although you're not alone, you're certainly in a minority.
Best of luck.

How do I restore purchases from other countries?

I bought a couple songs in the Japanese iTunes. I downloaded them and they were on my phone with the rest of my purchases. But recently, they just disappeared off of my phone. It only shows up when I switch to the Japanese iTunes but it won't let me download them unless I switch to the American store but even then it won't let me. I share the ID with someone else and they still have the songs on their phone so I would like to know how I can get the songs back on my phone. At first it was one but a couple weeks later the other one disappeared as well.

You cannot redownload songs from the Japanese iTunes store unless you are in Japan.
You should be storing all of your music on your computer, just sync it to the iPhone from there.
