Located in France but want access to UK app store

Hello,
I am an englishman in France and have recently be given an Ipad for my Bday (yes I know lucky me!!). Anyway, I would like to access the UK App Store to buy ibooks as in the French store they are obviously in French!!
I have had a look around and apparently I cannot access the UK Store with a French credit card and I think I can't even access the UK store if I had a UK credit card as I am located in France.
Now this seems very archaic to me and can't believe it's true! How is this possible and what would I have to do to get english books on my new toy?!
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried some of the other e-book apps ? Amazon Kobo are a couple of examples that are available here in the UK, though I don't know whether they are in the French app store - they may be less restrictive in where you can buy e-books from.

    If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down .  In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo.  Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want

  • Why does everyone else on their school ipad have access to the App Store and basically anything they want? Why is it that I don't have access to any of that?  How do I get access to that stuff?

    Ok I don't know why in the world everyone else has access to the App Store and almost anything they want. Guess what I have access to? Yea that's right I have access to nothing that they have! I believe that their iPads are glitching and that might be how they got access to them! I hate how I don't have any access when I don't have access to anything that they have access to! They have almost no restrictions on their iPads and I have all the restrictions that the school sets!

    I don't know if you're looking for us to offer a solution to you?  We can't.  If your school has set restrictions on your iPad, you need to discuss this with your school system admin.

  • Hi does anybody know if you download wrong app can you get a full refund? As I've downloaded a app what cost 13.99 but wanting the 18.00 app.

    Hi does anyone know if you can get a refund if download wrong app? As I have downloaded a 13.99 app but wanted the 18.00 app? I don't fancy having to pay another 18 pounds. Thanks stackers

    If you are looking for a refund for the purchase of this application, you must request this from the support web site for the itunes or app's store.   You should note that officially the iTunes Store does not give refunds and that the terms of sale state that "all sales are final". You can ask, though, and perhaps they'll make an exception for you.  Just state why you feel a refund is deserved.

    Make sure you are using the correct account if you have more than one.

  • Why can't I access the Mac App Store anymore?

    I want to upgrade my Mac Pro but I can no longer access the Mac App Store and don't know why.

    Remember that Rosetta is not supported beyond 10.6.8. This means that if you use any PowerPC Apps, they will refuse to work.
    My top six are:
    Microsoft Office, including Word, 2004 or older
    Photoshop CS2 or older
    Apple Works 6
    FileMaker Pro 6
    Eudora 6
    Quicken 2007 (unless you purchase and install the "Loin Compatible" update)

  • Can sign in with Apple ID, but can't connect to App Store for updates

    My wife just received her new iPad on Friday. When she went to update the apps that indicated they needed to be updated, she was able to sign in with her Apple ID. However, after a few seconds of processing the message appears that her iPad was unable to connect to the App store. (She was connected to the internet through WiFi). The next day at the Apple Store, the same thing happened as well as to other users, including those at the Genius Bar so we are not alone. Any insights? We thought that by the end of the weekend the issue may have been resolved (high traffic / server overload???) but still locked out of the App store.

    OK so here is what seems to be the problem -- Apps and under which account they were purchased / downloaded. My wife had downloaded a slew of apps under my Apple ID in the past, so when she attempted to sign in with her Apple ID there is now a conflict (this was not an issue before iOS 5.1 or so it seems). This simple fact totally prevents access to the App Store. This explains why my iPhone could connect to the App Store (it only has apps downloaded with my Apple ID) and hers could not.
    So we sat down and made a list of all of the apps on her iPhone and iPad (the ones she wanted to keep), then went into iTunes and clicked on APPS (under Library in the left column). Once you are in there, a list of apps installed appears. Right click (option-click) on each app icon to GET INFO -- this displays which Apple ID account was used to download that particular app. (Thanks Rysz)
    Thankfully all of the apps that were causing the conflict were free, so it was simply a matter of deleting these particular apps off of iTunes (on her iMac -- right click to delete) as well as her iPhone and iPad. Then all you need to do is re-download them when she is signed back into the App Store with her Apple ID.
    After I deleted all of the apps, I again tried to sign in to the App Store to re-download the apps she wanted to replace. But I was still getting the dreaded error message stating "Can't Connect to App Store". So on her iPhone I went to Settings and reset the network connection, signed back in to our Airport WiFi network. Tried again, no luck. Signed out of the App store and re-signed in, and glory hallelujah -- I was now able to access the App Store and start the download process for both the iPad and iPhone (thanks Thom_D for the suggestion).
    Once everything was back to normal, plugged each device in separately to her iMac and resynced in iTunes. Knock on wood, I think it is now working like before.
    Hope this helps a fellow user out there.

  • I can't access to my app store after update to IOS 7.

    I can't access to my app store after update to IOS 7. It write that " Cannot connect to the App Store. You must connect to a wi-fi or mobile data network to access the app store". But, in fact, my mobile data is running well. Any solution?

  • I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine

    I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine - files too big
    Please assist

    You need to download it on one of the iMacs via App store but not install since after it installs the installation download gets deleted.
    After it is downloaded you can copy to a USB device. You can also make a bootable USB install device by:
    downloading and using DiskMaker X

  • I can't access the mac app store even though I have 10.6.8!

    I have a MacBook 1.83GHz and I have just downloaded 10.6.8 and I have the mac app store in my dock but it has a line through it and says I need 10.7 to open it. Before downloading 10.6.8 I still had it in my dock but it said i needed 10.6.8 to open it.... I am really confused why I need 10.7 to open it as i thought you needed 10.6.8! How can i get the mac app store working!!???

    You don't have the Snow Leopard version. Perhaps you didn't install Snow Leopard since you cannot download it. You must purchase it:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
