Lesson store: Language issue

I am a French guy living in Japan. I purchased in Tokyo iLife 11, installed it on my imac in French language. iLife works fine and is all in French language except Lesson Store which remains in Japanese. I just can't make it appear in French (even though I used my French itunes account in the upper left corner of the Lesson store window).
My Japanese skills aren't good enough to have a lesson in that language. Only lessons downloaded either in French or English could be OK.
Can anyone of you know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

No, that won't work because you need a billing address in the country of the store from which you want to purchase.
In other words, if you want to purchase from the French store, you need a credit card linked to a billing address in France, if you want to purchase from the US store, you need a credit card linked to a billing address in the US, etc.
My suggestion: all users that are in this situation (e.g., non-German speaking people living in Switzerland) should ask Apple for a partial refund (say 30%) of iLife, because they are not entitled to the same set of functionalities as other customers, although they paid the same price. This might push Apple to do more sound work in terms of multi-language support across their various online digital content stores.
Somehow, I hate to suggest this kind of collective action, but I've written several emails to Apple about that issue but never got any answer. And even after 6 years of existence, the swiss iTunes store is still almost exclusively in German (legal agreement, account management forms, Garageband lessons, most movies, etc.), whereas Switzerland has three (actually four) official languages...
It seems that from Cupertino, old Europe is still seen as something weird, with all these languages. So forget about a country with more than one language. I suppose us Swiss people should be happy not to have our store in Swedish.
This is sooooo disappointing from Apple!
What was it again...? Ah, yeah think different?

  • IPod Touch App Store & iTunes Store Language Issues

    Everytime I open up my iPod Touch's App Store, it gives me the British version of the App store, with "pounds" and british apps. every time I open up the iTunes Store on my Touch, its the british version/french version; the names/albums are in french while the payment amount is in pounds. I really need help with this! Can anyone shed some light onto my situation?? Any help would be IMMENSLY appreciated!

  • S820 came with no Play Store, also has language issue.

    I bought an S820 in China and it has 2 problems that I cannot solve.  First, even after switching the laguage to English, much of the interface, apps, settings, etc. are still in Chinese.
    Additionaly, this phone did not come with the Google Play Store installed, and I am not able to install it from the Play Store website.  Perhaps I'm doing something wrong due to the language issue, or perhaps there's some kind of license missing since this specific phone was intended for the Chinese market.
    I've tried for several days to find a solution but I am coming up short.  I'd like to try a new ROM, but after searching all the various forums I can't seem to find one designed for this phone.
    Can anyone please refer me to a ROM that will work for this phone, or otherwise suggest a solution?
    Thank you!

    Hi there,
    Though am not an expert, will try to explain and share what I know. I have been updating my s820 to Android 4.2.2 (which is latest for this phone) ROM automatically provided by lenovo officially that means it's not rooted and no Gapps by OTA (over the air) system upgrade. They call this new one VIBE ROM and I find it fantastic!
    The other way would be to manually download latest ROM from http://www.viberom.com/xiazai_s820_nk.html (sorry it's in Chinese and you must select appropriate phone, you may translate the website) into your computer, RENAME into update.zip, copy to external microSD card --> boot into recovery (from lenovo's 'system upgrade' icon), there are few yes/no and finally done! 
    You can also check this out http://www.needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/serial-s/s820/ for custom and some rooted ROMs.
    Cheers

  • App Store Languages

    Hello,
    Been trying to fix an issue with the Languages Section within the App Store;
    My issue is that when you go into the description page under Languages it displays only English.
    We received an email ITS saying:
    This information is set in the binary of your application. If you have a language set in the info.plist in your application, that will override the languages in the localization table of your binary and will be the only language that is displayed in the Languages section for your application in the App Store.
    If you would like all languages that are in your localization table to be displayed on your application page, please remove the language setting in the info.plist of your binary.
    Please let us know if you have any other questions.
    Best Regards,
    iTunes Connect Support
    Now it displays no Languages in the Description under Languages.
    All Languages display properly within respective Countries App Store.
    Please do not confuse this question with that.
    Thanks~

    I suspect you are right.
    Are you signed into your account? Accounts are for specific stores, so if you sign into your account the app should adjust the store to the one to which your account is associated. You can also scroll to the bottom of a MAS page and click the circular flag icon to change the app store from country to country.

  • GarageBand - guitar lesson 1 is no longer in the lesson store. Why?

    Am I the only one that sees this anomaly?
    Lesson 1, for guitar (Intro to Guitar), is missing from the lesson store!  I am unable to download it on ANY of the 5 macs at my house. What happened? The only lessons available are 2 thru 9 (8 total).  There used to be 9 lessons in GarageBand '09.  That intro video was perfect for beginners.

    I am seeing the same. Only lesson 2 to 9 are showing.
    Perhaps they removed it, because it comes automatically with any new GarageBand installation and it should not be necessary to download it again.
    If you still have lesson 1 on one of your macs or in an older backup, restore it to your System Library. The lessons are installed in
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Learn to Play/Basic Lessons
    Regards

    You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

    Users do not have control over the language of the Mac App Store or iTunes stores for a particular country or region. It is what it is and can't be changed.

  • HT204266 Changing App Store Language

    My Apple User preferred language is English - selected. 
    I live in Spain. 
    My App Store language will only show in Spanish. 
    How do I change it  please?
    Anybody?
    Appreciated.

    You can only purchase apps form the App store in which you are currently locate. Since you are in Spain unless there is an option in the Store App you can't change it.

  • Is it possible to change my lesson store?

    I live in Switzerland but my lesson store in in German and I don't speak German. Can I switch it to English somehow?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    First, go here & change your Apple ID. Then delete the existing iCloud account on your phone. Select keep data on your phone, if you want. Then re-create your iCloud account using your new Apple ID:

  • OS X Primary language issue

    I have come across a very annoying language issue with my MBP.
    I needed to set Chinese as the priority language in order to prevent iTunes from changing my chinese song names into weird characters thus ruining my album arrangement. But at the same time, it has created another problem that now every program's default language is Chinese.
    Is there anyway to keep my song names intact while keeping the rest of OS X in English?

    Is there anyway to keep my song names intact while keeping the rest of OS X in English?
    You should be able to have intact song names regardless of your OS language, as long as your ID3 tags are converted to Unicode. See this page for some info:
    http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/mlingos9.html#itunes
    In general, the language of any app can be made different than the OS language by doing File > Get Info > Language on the app icon and making sure that only the language you want is checked.

  • The Lesson Store is temporarily unavailable.

    Hi,
    i upgraded to Yosemite and GarageBand 10 and even though I had previously download all the free guitar lessons now I see only the first lesson and when I trying to redownload lessons from lesson store a message appears The Lesson Store is temporarily unavailable.
    It's been a few days the same.
    Please help. I have apple account in US store where I lived. Now i live in europe.

    Have you installed the in-app purchase for GarageBand 10?   The in-app  purchase will activate the Lesson Store, so you can download the lessons again, see:
    Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase
    if you already bought the in-app purchase, have you tired the "Restore Purchase" item in the "GarageBand" menu?
    There is one problem:  Purchasing GarageBand and the in-app purchase have to be done with the same Apple ID. If you bought GarageBand 10 in the United States with an US AppleID, you have to use that ID and the US Lesson Store to download the lessons. The Garageband Lesson Store window has a command in the lower right corner "Change Country". Try to switch that to the country of the AppleID you used to buy GarageBand.
    If that is not possible, while you are in Europe, contact the App Store Support at this link:  http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
    Apple ID problems can only be solved by the app-store support.
