[Microsoft Store][Profile][Billing] How Do I Change Country/Residence for Microsoft Account? Editing Your Microsoft Account Profile for Microsoft Store. SOLVED: Change Home Location

Hello,
I am experiencing problems with using my Microsoft Account for billing and purchasing apps in Windows store.
I am using my old WLID that I've created several years ago, and I have obsolete information including my country residence there. Now when I go to
https://billing.microsoft.com, I see that I have 2 profiles:
Personal profile: US
Business profile: Russia.
Now the problem is that I want my personal profile be changed to Russia as well. Having US in the profile makes it impossible to make purchases from Microsoft Store because Store does not allow for changing country when making purchases via PayPal.
Currently I have this information:
I need the Country/Residence information to be changed to Russia. How do I do that?
I am stuck.
How do I change country for my Microsoft Account?
If it's not possible, would I be able to continue using my Microsoft Account with old residence/country information while making purchases through a new Microsoft account where I have specified my current residence?
Or is it the same as with Windows Phone 7:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2692008
If yes, do I understand that I have to start all my 'virtual living' from scratch to use Microsoft Store? In other words, do I have to sign-in into Windows 8 with a new Microsoft Account that will have Russia specified as a Country/Region to purchase apps
from Microsoft Store?
If yes, can I use this new account only for purchasing apps while continuing to use my old account or all purchased apps are strictly tied to this new Microsoft Account I will use for purchasing?
Thank you.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Hello,
Thanks to
this post @ Microsoft Answers, I was able to make Microsoft Store use correct information of my current country residence.
//The drawback in my case was that I lost the possibility to pay with Paypal, although Paypal supports payments in Russia, and, most importantly, I lost access to US marketplace, all comments/reviews are now in Russian. What a bummer! Honestly, I'd
like to have access to US store... Seems like the only workaround it to switch Home location for the time I purchase an app and change back when the app is purchased.
To change the Country/region data used for Payment and Billing in Microsoft Store,
Press WindowsKey+W to show Start screen and focus on searching in
Settings.
Type 'region' (without quotes) and open Region dialog box when found.
In the Region dialog switch to Location tab and change the country of choice in the
Home location drop-down list.
Click OK to apply changes and make them effective.
Open Store and press WindowsKey+I to show settings charms then choose
Your account.
In the Your account screen click Add payment method to configure your payment settings that will be used for purchasing apps from Windows Store.
Notice Country/region value has changed.
This country will be specified in Country/residence within Payment and Billing in Microsoft Store app.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

  • How do I access and delete file from "Save to Your Online Account" area.

    I just downloaded the trial version of Acrobat XI.  I created a PDF file with sensitive information that I thought would be saved only to my computer but noticed that it was saved to my "online account." 
    I've searched and found how to reset that feature but I need to know how to access that Online Account and remove my file permanently from it. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated (and necessary if I'm to purchase this tool).

    That's what it looks like to me, too.  It was only saved on my computer.  The reason I thought it might be saved online somewhere is because, when I saved the file, there was a box checked that said "Save To Your Online Account."  What does this mean then?
    Also, when I open the Acrobat application, the file is listed there under Recent Files and it doesn't give me a way to clear the recent file list.
    My goal is to make sure that my sensitive information is not being stored somewhere, anywhere online with Adobe or anyone else.  The only place I want that file to appear is in the documents file of my computer.

  • After moving shared profiles to Windows 7/32 Pro PC, I can't access them from XP box mapped to the profile share (P:\Profiles...) after editing profiles.ini to point to the network share. I can edit files in the profile directory from XP.

    Previous configuration: Shared profiles located at D:\profiles\ on PC1 (XP Pro SP3). 2nd PC (PC2 also XP Pro SP3) mapped to \\PC1\Profiles via mapped drive P: and using absolute reference in profiles.ini on PC2. Remote profiles work OK on PC2.
    New PC added (PC7) to eventually replace PC1 (Windows 7/32 Pro). Profiles moved to D:\Profiles on that box. Firefox and Thunderbird work fine on PC7 with the local profiles. Profiles.ini edited on PC1 to point to the network share and will not access the remote profiles. Access permissions are set to full for everyone. I can write and edit to files in the profile directories from PC1.
    I tried adding a profile with the profile manager and tried to force it to use the network share, but it still located the new profile down in the default directory ...\application data\Mozilla\Firefox\

    Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
    Go Utilities > Disk Utility
    Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
    Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
    If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
    After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
    I hope this help.

  • HT204266 My child deleted the "app store" app.  How do I get it back or reinstall?

    My child deleted the "app store" app.  How do I get it back or reinstall?  Normally I would go into the app store to get the deleted app...

    You cannot delete the App Store app as it is one of the default apps. Your daughter most likely moved it onto another screen or accidentally moved it on top of another app which creates a folder that contains both apps.
    Swipe to the furthest left screen, the search screen, type in App Store, and you'll find where the App Store is hidden.

    If it's no longer in the store then you won't be able to re-download it - do you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes (or on a backup) that you could sync back to your phone ?

  • Can't create iTunes account or change country of iTunes store

    Hello,
    I hope this is the correct place to post this question.
    I am set up my iTunes account, and the problem I'm running into has to do with the 'country' setting.
    Going through the account setup process, at the credit card information screen, I click the link in order to change countries. I select 'Canada', and click 'Change Country'. At this point I am sent back to the iTunes store main page, which is set to the United States.
    If I scroll to the bottom of the main store page, and select 'Canada' to change the country setting manually, I get the error, "Could not complete the iTunes store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
    I have checked my Norton Internet Security firewall settings. I have cleared the DNS cache. The iTunes store functions normally in other ways, i.e. I can play song previews.
    If anyone can help me fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated!

  • HT201359 how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?

    how can i find out what all the charges on my checking account are for?

    If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases - the most recent purchase is above the list. I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions (I don't have any so I can't check).
    If you can't find the charges and you haven't added or changed your card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    You mention it is a DV/HDV Film - how did you edit it? Did you edit both formats on the same timeline in Final Cut? (What were the settings in Final Cut for the timeline?)
    If you are using HDV in a timeline due to the length of time to conform the output, you may be better off exporting the entire thing for testing (small enough for HDV, though I often use AIC or 422 nowadays).
    What settings are you using in Compressor? I know you mentioned many combinations, but did you use any frame controls? What was the rate? Did you use CBR/VBR?
    One thing to try to get things started. Use 8 CBR and in the frame controls set them to to "Better" for all of them. Will take a bit longer using the filters but should give you an idea where you are at. (Also take a look at the self contained movie to see if there are any artifacts/picels there).
    How are you watching the DVD - computer screen or burning to a DVD?

  • Changing country without losing bought items

    Hello,
    I am wondering how to change the country of the Itunes Store account without losing everything I bought?
    Thank you

    As Niel says about keeping copies of what you have on local drives.  Changing country won't delete items from your computer but it will disable your ability to re-download those items.
