Itunes stores world

can I buy music from different Itunes stores in the world besides my own, which is Canada? If so, how do I do it? Do I need to create a different account?

You can only buy songs from a country's store if you have a credit card with a billing address in that country.
So yes, a separate account would be required at a minimum. But the credit card requirement will likely be your stumbling block.

  • Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over? Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes?

    Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
    Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman & Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV?  Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search & purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung & HTC are already on too of them for innovation & ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?

    It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
    You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Reading terms and conditions page 3 of new account for iTunes Store before I  put in US$ voucher purchased in Zimbabwe. If I'm traveling world wide, willI still be able to access the US services via this same account?

    You can only use the US store if you are in the US with a US billing address on your account - the US store's terms of use (and they will be similar for all countries) :
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.

  • Itunes Store Australia, When's it catching up to the rest of the world??!!

    Hi all, I have recently purchased an ipod touch here in sydney australia, with the understanding that I was going to be able to buy and download movies and tv shows from the itunes store. How dissapointed am I? Very. Itunes store australia only seems to pod casts of limited or no interest to me, which is particually annoying as the marketing for the ipod touch in Australia is the same as it is in the States. Which I think is wrong, Apple should make it clear that all the good stuff (Movies) are not avaliable to Australians using itunes store, other wise theres going to be thousands of us who are essentially buying 8 gb MP3 players for 420 dollars! Please apple update stores world wide to the same as the States or change the marketing for which ever region your selling the product in, and on that note whats the point of releasing the apple TV box thing in Australia if you can't watch anything on it except podcasts, photos or listen to music. Am I wrong? Please if I am show me where to download movies and tv shows to my ipod so I can get some use out of it!
    Cheers John

    Some or all of the major iTunes store announcements in the last 12-24 months haven't been carried out in Australia
    Thats because Jobs clearly said in his keynote that the content is initially for the US but planned for expansion to other countries later in the year.
    When were we supposed to see them arrive here?! Now I'm looking at the movie rentals stuff thinking how great would that be with my apple tv and how long exactly 'later this year' means and if 'International' includes australia at all.
    Jobs never said a firm release date because he doesn't know. Its all based on how negotiations with the studios go and their ability to get content out there.
    They should have a separate keynote that actually applies to Australia, and perhaps give us some idea of when we can expect any of this media to arrive down under.
    The problem is that Australia is not the only other country out there. By your logic, Apple should have separate major events that essentially convey the same message for each and every country that will support new iTunes content. Its far easier to just do it once since the news is going to get out there anyway. Why be redundant.

  • HT201210 hey, i cant access the itunes store or log into the app world. i have attempted to download the latest ios6, and it cut of with an error message that said : cannot access the itunes store

    hello, cant access the itunes store or log in with my apple id as i get an error message saying cant connect to the i tunes store. i even attempted to download the latest ios6 which cut of. just does not want to accept my apple id

    Hi Mr Lenz
    I had the exact same problem yesterday when i tried to get some music from the store. The same messages appeared on my screen. I just waited for an hour or so and logged on again with no problem. I was able to download music normally. Perhaps there was a momentary glitch at the iTunes store at that time.
    You might try to log on again and see what happens.

  • How can I get the iTunes Store to open on my PC running Windows 7?

    I have upgraded iTunes software for my iPod Touch and my PC.  iTunes store will not open on my PC.  Is it supposed to open to purchase items or do I have to use the iPod Touch for all of this.

    A message appears stating that iTunes has stopped working.  This happens everytime.  I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and still the same thing happens.  Is the problem in windows or the new iTunes that came out in October.  The computer has worked in the past, but I not had a need to go to the iTunes Store for several weeks and now I can't get to it from my PC.  It works fine from my iPod Touch.  This is my only Apple Device and it may be my only one to ever purchase if this is an example of the Apple service.
    I apologize on the lateness of this response, but I am not real adept at using sites such as this.  Just now figured out how to respond to a reply without going around the world.

  • The iTunes Store IS OUT TO GET YOU.

    I just finished watching the 2nd season of Lost, and I thought to myself, "Gee, it sure would be nice to catch the first few episodes of the current season, so that I could watch along with the rest of the new episodes."
    And of course, I use iTunes (although I've never used the store before), so I knew I had access at my fingertips. I set up a new account, eager to get to the episodes, and downloaded episode number one. The file was going to take a couple of minutes, so I checked my email.
    Suddenly, the iTunes window disappeared from behind my email program. "What the...?"
    Check the dock for confirmation -- yep. It's crashed. Gone. Not even the courtesy of an error message. I've been abandoned. I restart iTunes and sure enough, my Lost episode is gone. Check my downloads -- iTunes SAYS it downloaded just fine. And that I'll be charged accordingly. I scour my hard drive for anything resembling a video file that might be recoverable. Nada. Zip. Nothing.
    Now, 1.99... not the end of the world. I'm more upset about the episode -- and since I'm not allowed to download it again unless I pay for it once more -- well. I'm a firm believer in the "Fool me once..." philosophy. So I shoot off a nasty email to iTunes store support, and I begin rooting around for the place where I'm allowed to cancel my account -- no point in leaving my credit card information out there in cyberspace if there's no use in it, right?
    Yeah. That was a long time ago. Still haven't found it. Either Apple has so effectively buried the iTunes store account cancellation website/hotline #/post address/CB handle that I cannot locate the tiniest shred of evidence that it even exists -- or it just doesn't exist.
    Is this legal? If I have an account with a store and they have my personal information on file, including my credit card number, aren't I allowed to cancel that account and force them to remove my information from their records? I understand of course that they can keep the info until they verify the payment on services and products I've already purchased (although 'purchase' usually implies 'receipt of goods'). But I have no long-term commitment with Apple. All they are doing is putting me at risk of financial loss through identity theft. After all, my credit card number is longer and harder to guess than, say, my iTunes store password.
    This is all very scary to me. I just want to go to Blockbuster and forget that the iTunes store even exists.
    powerbook 17   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Max,
    I'm really sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience with iTunes. I've been using iTunes and Mac OS since 2003 and have had great luck. I mention this for a reason, though there are users that have been around longer than I, I've used os 10.2 - 10.4. That being said, I noticed that you're using 10.3.9 and I'm wondering why you haven't upgraded. You may have experienced an error the way you described because of the operation system you are using. I know that sounds far fetched, but actually, it's not. 10.3.8 was good but it had airport stability issues. Soon after it was patched with 10.3.9 and the whole system because solid all the way through. Now Apple builds software to support x number of years of hardware and creates software to function on x number of system versions; however, new versions of iTunes (for example) are going to take advantage or newer OS releases. I've been brave and kept current versions of iLife suites with current versions of OS X and everything has been solid as a rock, I promise. I would have presumed that it was related to Windows XP, which most extreme problems are, but you're on a PowerBook just as I am.
    All of that aside, imagine the sheer volume of users on iTunes at any given point. Take all the Mac users in the US and then Expand that to Windows users too. Then expand that to several countries with both operating systems. (Want proof, look at everyone walking around with white earbuds.) I could imagine how it's hard to get a response so be a squeeky wheel because sooner or later you'll get some grease. I'm not trying to tell you, "tough," or anything of the nature. I feel bad that you are uncomfortable with iTunes. I assure you it's been great and I bet if you upgrade to 10.5 when it's released, you'll find less quarks. By the way, I've experienced less of "This app has unexpectedly quit" while using 10.4 that when using 10.3.
    Best of luck to you.

  • How can I disassociate my songs in the iTunes store from another musician with the same name?

    My songs in the iTunes store are showing up with the artist John Powers. That is my name. There seems to be another musician called John Powers, and our songs seem to be grouped together. I feel bad for the guy, as he seems quite clean-cut and my songs are all a bit... edgy. Is there any way to clarify that there is another artist also called John Powers, or will my songs forever be linked to his through our common name?
    Here's a link to the artist page.
    My songs are "Empire State of Meh," "Venereal Disease," and "Get Some Blow."

  • "We could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later."

    When I try to open the home page in my Itunes I get the message "we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection is not be established. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later." It had been working just fine, in fact I had just purchased a song & edited my itunes account. Could changing the name on my account have cause the error message or is something else going on? This is a brand new computer.

    I've got an Apple ID problem, too. All of the sudden in the midnight between August 31st and September 1st, the new apps I picked up on the App Store hung forever 'Waiting..' in my iPhone and never turned 'Loading'. When a substantial amont of time had passed, they reported, they 'could not connect to the App Store' and .. disappeared! Well what they told was not perfectly true because I could however connect to the store as I could browse and pick the apps, but the apps just didn't load. I tried to log into my account in iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop, too, and there got exactly the message in the topic title.
    It appeared later my Apple ID did not completely fail because when I switched from my home WiFi to the phone 3G, everything worked just as nothing happened. Logically, this intimated my WiFi had flaws. Or, some place between my WiFi router and Apple servers did, to be precise. My router was not to blame because I did no changes to it whatsoever.
    All right, it is Saturday today and my ISP is running in unmanned mode meaning no hotline, but I call them on Monday unless the problem disappears by itself. I just wonder what I say, because from non-i-world point of view everything works well, and I know for sure guys in the ISP support don't own any i-stuff, (because they are all android fanatics) . I'm not telling them my Apple ID to let them reproduce the problem on their home equipment, which means I come almost totally proofless.

  • ITunes store error - network connection could not be established

    I can browse anywhere on the store but when I click to buy music
    I get an error saying "network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later"
    iTunes 11.0.2 (26)

    Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

  • I'm a podcaster and my latest episode doesn't show up in the iTunes store

    I have The ****** Off World of Uncle Hal Radio Show and I have had a great time with it. Every week I upload my show and then ping iTunes. My latest episode will show up in the store pretty quick. I have subscribed to my own podcast (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=173914731) and can download the latest episode but in the iTunes store my latest show (Episode 29) does not show up. My latest episode shows up on all directories on line and in my subscription in iTunes but not on the store! Anyone know what's going on? There should be 29 shows...not 28.
    Thanks,
    Hal

    I'm having the same problem.

  • ITunes Store No Longer Recognizes AOL IDs

    Here we go again. The iTunes store once again will not recognize valid AOL IDs. I was just on AOL, and I logged in smoothly. Can't log in smoothly at the iTunes store, however -- it tells me that the ID I just used on AOL isn't valid!
    Unbelievable. Why can't they get this right? Apple and iTunes has to be the most frustrating set of operating systems and websites in the world today. They can't get the most simple things to work right. And to think I was considering buying an Apple PC to replace my aging HP PC. Not anymore! Anyone know of music download sites that they like? I'm switching away from iTunes given all the failures they've had and their inability to manage their site properly.

    Make sure that you selected the correct iTMS country when trying to logging into your account.

  • Why can't you purchase stuff from the itunes store if you're not in that country? I'm in South Africa and most of the best things I want to download are on the US itunes, so I try switch to it but it won't let me download or purchase? I don't get it?

    I don't get why? What's the harm if you're in a different country? We all pay the same way and the internet was made to connect people over the world, stuff is downloaded from different global destinations millions of times a day. So what's the point of having an itunes store and App Store that limits you to the boring stuff in your own country? You read about these great app's, bands etc and find them in search engines, you have all the Mac products, but then you can't use them coz of where you're currenlty living? It's like a horrible tease!
    Is there a way around this? Or what can be done in order to access the things I want?
    Any advice, suggestions anyone?

    The reason is licensing - artists/record companies/TV networks/movie distributors all have separate licensing deals in different countries (or no licensing deals at all). It isn't mysterious or secret.
    The only way around this is to have an iTunes account in the other country - either a valid credit card with billing address in that country, or an iTunes gift card from that country (though you'll still be asked for a billing address in the country for which you've purchased the card).
