ITunes Store - Stuff available abroad, but not in the US

Is there any way to purchase a song - or album - from a store outside of my native country? Want stuff by Within Temptation - available in the UK, but not here in the US. Any alternatives?
Desktop   Windows XP  

Same issue here... I'd like to know why I can't buy music from other countries than my own... I mean, I don't see any logical meaning here...
Because Licensing of music is different from country to country and each entity must be negotiated separately. So Band A has Liscece 1 in the US and License 2 in the UK. Negotiating with Artist A doesn't get you both Licenses 1 and 2 since they are completely different entities and must be negotiated separately. These Licenses are managed by different parties in almost every case and while the group representing Liscence 1 may be willing to deal with Apple, the group attatched to liscence 2 may not be. Apple has no say in this matter.

  • Can't register to itunes store because my country is not on the list

    hi i'm from Afghanistan i want to get connected with itunes but i can't find my country on the list for itunes registration what should i do, please HELP

    Unfortunately until if/when Apple open an iTunes store in Afghanistan you won't be able to have an iTunes accountand buy/download content - you won't be able to use another country's store as you need to be in a country and have a valid billing address in that country on your account, in order to use it.

  • Is part of iTunes store down? Purchased music not loading

    Been trying off and on for a couple of hours to download music off iCloud.  When I click on 'purchased' in iTunes I get the loading spinner but it never finishes.
    Anyone else?
    The store itself seems to be okay.  Just not this feature.

    I've been having the same issue for the past three or four hours. All other parts of the iTunes store seem to work, but not the purchased items download area.

  • RE: We could not complete your iTunes store request. There is not enough memeory available

    When Trying to download apps the message
    'We could not complete your iTunes store request. There is not enough memeory available. There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later'
    Appears.  This message has been appearing since last week.
    HELP

    I have a possible solution.
    I had same problem. Latest iTune, Latest iPhone.
    Called the Mac Store, they put me to tech support - did not solve the problem
    Uninstalled & reinstaled iTunes - did not solve the problem
    What made the problem go away is this:
    Updated half of the apps directly on my iPhone while connected on WiFi.
    Ran a sync
    iTunes transfered updates from iPhone to iTunes
    Then when I tried to download the remainig updtes in iTunes it worked with no problem.
    Now there is no problem. Looks like the install of updates directly worked like a roto-rooter. Does no make sense but it worked.

  • I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change.

    I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change. Virtual DJ  at present seeing an older version of my libraries. Is it possible to Save my last library and Playlist and re-name everything else in my itunes account so it will again show "Itunes Music Library" Past libraries are of no consiquence . I'm hoping removing everything except  the last Library on my computers will make Virtual DJ  recognize it. I tried renameing  the Library to "Itunes Music Library" but it did not work. I fear the problem is in the Registry and without the correct path I am reluctand to play around  in there. Any help would be appreciated.

    Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

  • I had an iTune card gift and i tried to made reedem for it but the iTune store show that it is not activated so what should I do to activate it ?

    I had an iTune card gift and i tried to made reedem for it but the iTune store show that it is not activated so what should I do to activate it ?

    What you normally should do is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. If they refuse to help, as some retailers do, or this was a gift so you cannot contact the retailer, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

    i cannot access my itunes account when i try to sign into itunes. it keeps saying the itunes store is temporarily unavailable, but i can sign into the apple website.

    That means you have to sign into/view your account and review you account and make sure you have a valid payment method specified in your account.

  • I am living in France. I want to buy a hewlett packard calculateur from the itunes store in Germany which is not avalable in France waht can I do?

    I am living in France. I want to buy a hewlett packard 15c calculateur app  for my ipad which is available in the German itunes store but not in the French one. What can I do?

    Sorry, but there's nothing you can do to get that app if it's not available in the French iTunes Store. You can only use the iTunes Store of the country in which you live and have a valid payment method. All I can suggest is that you contact the developer of the app and urge him/her to make the app available in the French iTunes Store. Or look for a similar app that is available in your country's Store.
    Regards.

  • HT1386 I have synced the items from itunes to an iphone 4 without problem, except the two albums I just purchased did not sync.  They show up on the itunes on my desktop and on my ipod, but not on the new iphone.  What do I need to do?

    I have an itunes account and an ipod, and when I purchased 2 albums on the computer they synced straight to the ipod.  I bought an iphone and used the usb cord from the computer to it to sync the itunes albums to the new phone.  Everything transfered, and those were albums I had uploaded (not purchased from the itunes store), except the two albmus I just purchased from the itunes store.  They appear on my itunes on the computer and ipod, but not on the iphone.  What did I fail to do or did I do incorrectly?

    This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

  • I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

    I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

    After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists. 
    I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.
    I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
    Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
    If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
    If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
    Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

    Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

  • I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

    have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.
    How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

    Hi,
    Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
    If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

  • When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

    When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
    Download past purchases
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L
