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.
Regards.

ITunes Stores for other countres
does anyone know if it's possible to download from other countries stores? I've tried and it's not allowing me. Better still, does anyone know if TV shows and sports will be in the Australian store. Currently, the Australian store is useless for videos! Thanks.
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately, you can only purchase music from the store for your country.
We're all just users here, so we don't know if/when TV shows and other videos will be available in the Australian store.

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.

25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her. I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update. How can I get her updated?
Try quitting the App Store:
Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
Try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. -
HT4480 itunes card from other countries.
I made my account in the U.S. so when ever I bought an itunes card, it would obviously say $15 or $25 or $50 and so on. In dollars. But now I'm in a different country. Mexico to be exact. I want to purchase itunes cards but their cards use Pesos instead of dollars. So here is my question: Can I use the itunes cards from other countries on my account even though they use Euros or Pesos and so on? Thanks to anybody that can answer this for me.
No, you can only redeem gift cards for an account that is of the same nationality as the GC you are redeeming.
If you want to redeem for Euros, this will not work in your US store, you'll need to make a whole new store account. -

I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?
I am confused. Do you mean you found the music, not the tones, or you can't find either?
If the former, then this is normal. You can't redownload tones from the Cloud. -

I can not get into the iTunes store for the past two days. I can do a search on the music in upper right corner and get a drop down list. However, the screen is then white with "iTunes" in the middle. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Check out this Apple article -> iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
If your computer has one of the LSPs listed you may have to reset winsock.
If not, you may want to give this article a shot -> iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues -
Public Site Manager Enrollment for other countries
I work with a businnes school in Colombia, so I wanted to add it. But there's no option for my country 'Colombia', and neather if I wanted to sign myself into course manager. So, I don't know what to do, or if it would be available for my country in the future. Someone can give me information about it
Thanks by the way,..Sorry, but at this time there's nothing you can do. iTunes U is not available to institutions in Colombia. Whether Apple has any plans to expand iTunes U to other countries and if so which ones is something none of us here, who are mostly just fellow users, will know.

HT1918 Can i use debit card in itunes store for purchase in india
Can i use debit card in itunes store for purchase in india
Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
Using a debit card in any online service where it stores your card is a bad idea in any case since if someone gains access to your account in the service, they can quickly drain your bank account. Credit cards limit your liability, as do prepaid iTunes cards.
