Itunes Stores Between Countries

I live in Malaysia. iTunes knows my country and won't let me buy from US. The movie I want is in US only. I tried to create a new account - it puts me back in Malaysia again. What to do.

As Winston said, the iTunes Germany Store may only be used within Germany. Here is the exact language from the Legal section:
"Der Dienst steht Ihnen nur in Deutschland zur Verfügung. Sie dürfen den Dienst nicht von außerhalb Deutschlands nutzen oder versuchen zu nutzen. iTunes kann mit Hilfe von technischen Mitteln die Einhaltung dieser Bestimmung überprüfen."
It has nothing to do with currency exchange.

When I tried to make another account for the US store it said that I already had an account and that I could use that account for purchase from the US store too... I AM CONFUSED!!!!
Thanks for your help!

You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the valid billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.

If you're on an iOS device, click here and follow the instructions to change the iTunes Store country.
If you're on a computer, scroll to the bottom right corner of the iTunes application window, click on the button with the flag, and pick a country.

How can I rent a film in Itunes stores in other countries with my apple ID

Hello,
I wanted to ask about how one could rent a film in Itunes store from countries outside of where my mac is installed using my apple ID?

Even having another residence in another country ( not living there ) won't help, isn't it ?
No, it won't. The terms of use for the iTunes Store state that you agree not to attempt to use the service from outside of its country.
And I suppose that there is not a "work around" for this problem ? And if there is, I suppose it can not be mentioned here.
There is no "workaround". The terms are clear on the matter.
But having these restrictions in a country obliges the users, like myself being pro-Apple, to think about doing illegal actions ...
I agree, but it's the content owners who make these decisions, not Apple. The subject has been covered here many times, so I won't get into it yet again, but the issue of rights ownership being fragmented among many different entities in different countries and the problems it presents in the age of digital distribution is a significant one, but no resolution in sight.
Regards.

How do I switch between various countries iTunes Stores?

When I attempt to "update" my Apps, I get an error message stating "Account Not In This Store" and "Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You mustswitch to the Canadian store before purchasing." I'm not sure how I ended up in the US store in the first place and have no idea how to get back to the Canadian store. Can anyone tell me how to change stores?

All's well with the iTunes store on my MacBook Pro (Canadian Flag in the bottom right corner). But on the iTunes App on my iPhone, there is no flag of any kind on the bottom right corner of the page

What's the difference between mac app store, app store, iTunes store?

what's the difference between mac app store, app store and whatever itunes stores out there?

If you saying that the App Store on my phone and the App Store section of itunes on my computer are the same store,
It is.
could you please be kind enough to show me how to reach the 724 apps on my computer (just to look at, not to buy) that I get on my iPhone when I type: "chinese transla".
If I search the iTunes Store for "chinese translation", I get dozens of apps listed. Make sure you're searching the iTunes Store, not your library. The search box should say "search store". Also confirm that both your iPhone and iTunes on your computer are pointed to the same country's iTunes Store. Different countries' stores carry different items, so it's possible your computer is pointed to a different country's store. Look at the bottom of the iTunes window and make sure the round flag icon is the one for your country.
Maybe the App Shopper has all the same apps that are on my phone? I just looked, they say they have 1,000 apps. Is this a safe site to buy from?
App Shopper is not a store. The only store you can buy iPhone apps from is the iTunes Store. App Shopper is just a compendium site that lists apps that are available in the iTunes Store. When you click to buy an app, you're taken to the iTunes Store.

How can I download from other countries iTunes Stores?

I want to download from other countries iTunes stores but I have of course not a credit card for each of these countries and I can use my e-mail address only once (logically )to register. Any chance that I can download from i.E. the French store when I live in the UK?
Thanks for helping me if possible

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.

Ivory Coast not in the iTunes Store's list of countries? Country on iTunes Store cannot be changed to Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire)

Hi,
I would like to know if Apple is planning to add more African countries to its list of Itunes Store countries (and if so aproximately when).
NYC or in London.
Here is my issue. I have moved from London to Abidjan (Ivory Coast) over a year ago and my foreign bank cards have recently expired which means any payments with these are now impossible. I will get my new cards during my next trip to the UK in 6 months.
I have been trying to make several purchases and most recently to upgrade from Mac OS 10.6.8 to OS X Mountain Lion but I can't because it is currently impossible to change the Itunes Store country to IVORY COAST/ Cote d'Ivoire (from the United Kingdom).
To top it off, although it is now possible to make iTunes payments trough www.clickandbuy.com (was excited and went through the process of setting up, verifying and prefunding a Clickandbuy account to make my OS X Mountain Lion payment) iTunes refuses a payment if the country of the credit/debit card registered with Clickandbuy (Ivory Coast) is different from that of the iTunes store country (United Kingdom).
This is a huge disappointment because I fail to understand why one would use Click and Buy or Paypal or ay other similar secured online payment service to make a payment in Itunes if one can use iTunes directly. What was the point of adding Click and Buy as a mean of payment in the first palce? and if they were able to verify my account, then why can't Apple do the same especially when I am an existing client?
Seriously this means Apple customers from certain African countries are being discriminated, if I was based in Cotonou or Accra, I would be allowed to change my store to Benin or Ghana and make payments with a local credit card. This is not fair.
Apple pls you have to do something about this Country issues in the iTunes Store!
Thanks

Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users, we won't know until if/when Apple announce something. You can leave feedback for Apple via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

ITunes Stores for other countries

Hi, have purchased an IPAD in Andorra, Europe, where I live.
Unfortunately no Itunes store exists for that country, therefore I can't purchase any apps with my Andorran credit card.
Now luckily I also have an UK address which enables me to get some apps.
But as I am German and also spend a lot of time in France I want some apps or books or music from other Itunes Stores, which is not possible.
If I could buy everything from the UK Store I wouldn't mind, but some apps don't exist there which is crazy.
Why does Apple want to restrict what I can buy?
They are selling IPads in countries where there are no ITunes Strores but you can't buy things in other languages.
Hey Apple think about it and change the policy. I am happy to spend money but I can't

Why does Apple want to restrict what I can buy?
This has been discussed here countless times already, but Apple doesn't want to restrict anyone. It's the content owners who control what Apple can sell and where they can sell it.
They are selling IPads in countries where there are no ITunes Strores but you can't buy things in other languages.
I'm not aware of any country where Apple has officially released the iPad that doesn't have at least an App Store. What country are you referring to?
If you have a residence in another country, you could perhaps purchase prepaid iTunes cards in that country and open an account with that country's iTunes Store. But otherwise, Apple is required by the content owners, most of whom will not allow cross-border sales, to restrict you to purchasing only in your country. And if they can't get rights in your country, or can't make a business case for the costs of setting up an iTunes Store there, then I'm afraid you're stuck.

January Software Upgrade - Availability outside the iTunes Store countries

I have (an iPod Touch) model number that should receive a free January Software Upgrade as stated in the Apple Price Protection Policy.
Mention that it was bought in the European Union, France, while I was on vacation. However I don't see an option to upgrade in iTunes without being asked for an iTunes Store country credit card. I currently reside in Romania(which is also part of the E.U.).
I searched the support pages and I didn't a Apple customer support email address to send my complaint to.
How can I receive the upgrade? Is this upgrade limited to ITNS countries?

I had thought not, but I tried last week after a discussion with someone from Apple (Asia Pacific). I had earlier bought the QuickTime Pro licence but that was with help, so I registered at the Hong Kong online store and bought the licence for Aperture 2. As for hardware, as far as I am aware, No.
For me as well, the country I am in does not have an Apple online store (or an Apple store come to that) and the distribution system is somewhat different. Those who wish to be "in the loop" use a franchise system -- iStudio and iBeat.
I would hope that the Apps Store would take a different route. Some friends here do have credit cards issued in other (acceptable) countries and they are able to buy from iTunes stores. I have been here so long that all my credit cards are Thai issued -- fine when I go to San Francisco or London; fine with the online Apple shop; fine with music purchases from a number of sources in the US; but not for iTMS. I can sort of accept restrictions on the music and videos (try the BBC for tight-a** behaviour), but the iPod touch software burns.

Is it possible to have a window open for my library and the Itunes store so that I can toggle between the two? I want to check my library before I purchase songs to make sure that I don't already own them.

Is it possible to have a window open for my Itunes Library and Itunes store at the same time so that I can toggle back and forth between the two. I want to check my library before I buy songs to make sure that I don't duplicate.
Thanks!

No.

Can you purchase something from another countries itune store and use it on the US itunes?, if you have a US store account, can you purchase something from another countries itune store and use it on the US itunes?

Would like purchase movies and some tv shows from another countries itunes store, but not sure if they will work on my US itunes account.
Keith

You cannot purchase from any other country's iTunes Store. The content owners will not allow cross-border sales.

apple today expands the itunes store to reach new 53 countries ... but not MOROCCO why !!!! even the iphone 5 will be released in 21 december in morocco ..

new software that could be released through the iTunes online store for late December or early January, which was the iOS 6.0.2, wasn´t it?
No. The iOS 6.0.2 update was only to address issues with the WiFi chipset in the iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Whether a future software update will add LTE support to existing iPhone 5 units, none of us here can say.
