Moving country with ITunes Music Store

Hi,
I'm about to move from the UK to the US and I was wondering how to change my music store account i.e. create a US account whilst still having the ability to recover music (but not buy) from my UK account.
Thx,
S

you just create a new account when you are in the US and have a US address with either a credit card or a itunes card.
You UK account will remain as is.
Puzzled by the recover music from your UK account comment. You only get one download so what is there to recover?

Slow Connection with iTunes Music Store

Hello. I just got to college with a 1.83 Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro that I've had for a couple of months so I am familiar with it. My Broadband Ethernet connection is fine except for the iTunes music store, which is incredibly slow. It takes about 5 minutes to connect to every link within the store, and finve minutes for the initial connection. I have tried all of the troubleshooting suggestions, un-installed iTunes, re-installed iTunes, emailed and telephoned apple care, and this is my last effort. I do not have a firewall, but still the Music store is incredibly slow. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just screwed?

Download speed has improved a lot compared to last week. Yesterday I downloaded several albums and it took just a few minutes. I must say it was faster than importing from a CD. That said I must say that there may be some issue with your internet connection. Maybe the ISP is blocking the downloads. Check with your ISP first.

Mystery with itunes music store

has anyone ever seen the following error message:
iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. An unknown error ocurred (-9807)
I can connect to hear the sound bites of songs but get this message when I try to purchase anything. I don't have any problem with my other Mac
Thanks in advance

I've seen that from time to time. Seems it goes away in time. Could be an issue wth the web server they host it on.

Persistant problem with iTunes music store

For a while now I have been unable to purchase songs from itunes. When clicking on "Music store" the front page of the store loads, but then within 5 seconds "Accessing music store" starts scrolling across the top of the screen, and this never changes. Clicking on any song titles or doing a search for music does not seem to do anything. Additionally my computer has become deauthorised. When I try and authorise my music again it has the same issues connecting and thus, I cannot listen to any of my already purchased music. I have tried accessing the service with all firewalls disabled but to no avail, and I am at a total loss on what to do.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the reply. I no longer have any download or web accelerators on my computer, and in response to your message I searched my computer for any remnants of these, only finding a few old files. I have now deleted these, but still the problem is present

Language issues with iTunes Music Store

Why is it that, occassionally, when I open iTunes, all the Music Store stuff is in German (at least that what it looks like)?
I've figured out how to get it back to English by logging out and then logging back in, but how does it change when I'm not changing it and I have everything set to English?

You don't even have to log out. Simply scroll to the bottom of the main store window, there will be a small flag icon with a drop down arrow, click on the arrow, & select the US store.

Want to access iTunes music store but not in a 'valid' country

Hi, I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I want to be able to buy music and videos for my new iPod and I have registered online. When I go to buy something with my credit card from the iTunes store, apparently you have to have an address for your credit card and a list of country's excluding Australia comes up. The problem is there is only about a dozen countries on the list and mine is not one of them so I can't pay by credit card. What can I do???

I really wish I was informed when I bought my ipod, that Itunes music store is not available in NZ and we don’t know when or IF it is going to be. Am feeling totally ripped off as one of the reasons I bought my ipod on Sunday was so I could download Audio books off itunes for when I am travelling. Now I go online and find out that I cant even download a measly single let alone a audio book.
Was feeling so excited about having my ipod and now just feel ripped off and extremely disappointed with Apple and the Apple salespeople. You are told how great itunes is and how you can download video, songs, books etc (when you are buying your Ipod) then once you have paid you $579+ (just for the ipod, let alone another $300 on accessories and warranty) you find out you can't download anything from itunes. Am pretty disgusted really! I researched my purchase, was going to go for a CREATIVE merely so could access NZ download sites, but was talked out of it by the sales person who showed me itunes and how great it is and I do think the IPOD itself is fantastic but wish I had of bought that CREATIVE so at least then I could have downloaded songs; books etc immediately. Bad Form from Apple, particularly given the amount of money I just spent :(((

Itunes music store not available in your country yet.

I just did a clean reinstall of OS 10.3.5, and when I try to access the music store I get
"itunes music store not available in your country yet.
You will be able to browse and listen to previews but wont be able to purchase music. To browse music store, select a country below."
So I select United States and nothing happens.
I am in the US and have an itunes account.
The itunes version is 4.2.
Also, what is the highest itunes version I can use with 10.3.5?
I am held down to this OS version because of some other software on my mac that won't work with anything higher than 10.3.5.
thanks
roger c.

First, the iTunes Store has required iTunes 6 at minimum for quite a while now. So you're going to have to upgrade from iTunes 4.2. If you want to run iTunes 7, you'll need to get to Mac OS X 10.3.9. Otherwise you can download iTunes 6.0.5 here, but you won't be able to purchase movies or (I believe) videos unless you have iTunes 7. There's also no guarantee how long iTunes 6 will work.
Second, you've posted in the iTunes for Windows forum. Normally you'll get the quickest and most accurate responses if you post in the iTunes for Mac forum.
Regards.

Itunes music store is not yet available in your country?

I get a message stating "itunes music store is not yet available in your country" whenever I log into the Itunes music store. I'm in the USA and my System Prefs, Date and Time/timezone, and credit card/user info on my itunes account all have my correct location.
Also, when clicking on specific TV show icons, itunes shuts down.
any help with either of these?
PowerBook Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Check at the bottom of the main store page & make sure you are set for the US store. If not, just click on the drop down by the flag icon & make the change.

TV Shows from iTunes Music Store will not sync with my iPod

I have a video iPod (5th Generation). I just downloaded some videos from the iTunes music store and they will not sync with the iPod. I get the message "...some videos cannot be played on this iPod."
The error log says that the videos are not in a supported video format. How can that be? I purchased these from the music store.

This is actually the iPod nano (3G) forum. You might get better help, faster by posting in the iPod "Video" forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=157

Why can I not buy songs from iTunes Music Store?

Earlier this year I moved from the U.S.A. to Sweden... changing my 'Mac.com' account address while doing so.
Last week, I tried to purchase some songs from the iTunes Music Store with my American MasterCard (a debit card) which is listed with my Swedish address at my U.S. bank. As I had never purchased at the iTunes M.Store before I was instructed to 'review my account'... which I did. It had my present Sweden address and my Mastercard listed as method of payment. Upon submitting the form, it was rejected, saying that my MasterCard was 'invalid for Sweden'! So I then go to the Apple-Sweden Store and purchase an iTunes Music Card which I receive in the mail the following day. Now I follow the Apple advice posted for purchasing music by redeeming an iTunes Music Card without listing a credit card (http://www.apple.com/se/support/itunes/store/giftcard/#GCA)... except there is no selection for NONE as indicated in these instructions.... So once again when I submit the form it is rejected, meaning that this time I have already spent money for the iTunes Music Card that is now worthless to me!
Is there another way I can redeem this card without going through that 'review account' window...?
I don't care to set up another account by setting up another e-mail address just to do this... as I want all of the Apple business to go through my Mac.com account as it should be configured to do so!

O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
I don't know what happened but this is the results....
After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

Suddenly can't connect to ichat or itunes music store

suddenly i can't connect to ichat or itunes music store. when i try to connect on ichat i get this message:
Could not connect to AIM The connection to the host was unexpectedly lost
When I try to connect to the music store I get:
iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connectionis active and try again.
My internet is working. I can view websites and everything. I don't know what's going on or why. It's been going on for a couple days. I'd be grateful for any help!

ah yes, i had the flets program last year i believe. then i switched to OCN.
if you want to try to connect with another chat program besides iChat, we can try that. you can send me an email with an im name to [email protected] i had some problems with flets and had to call them about it, but it didnt really get resolved so i just switched when i moved to a bigger city.

How do i make purchase at foreign non-american itunes music stores???

i wanted to purchase a song from the german itunes music store, so i headed over there, and was told that my account was only valid for purchase in the american itunes store, but if i click the ok tab, then it will transfer over my account info, so i can start buying german songs.
anyway, that's what i did, and at the very moment that i saw a balance on the top right corner of itunes, an error message came up and kicked me back to the american store:
itunes could not connect to the music store. an unknown error occurred (-3237). make sure your network connection is active and try again.
i tried again and again. the same result happened all three times, which led me to the the conclusion that i can try again and again and the same result will happen over and over. i cannot help but wonder if this is some sorta unspoken mechanism to help keep the dollars at home, instead of having the greens shipped overseas.
can someone in the know help with my problem please? any help will be truly appreciated. thank you.

To expand a little on what Not so techinical said, to buy from another country's store will require a credit card & billing address in that country. A gift card from that country also requires a billing address in the country. These are requirements of the record companies.

ITunes Music Store Crashes - Doesn't finish loading - Help?

Hi all,
For some reason my iTunes Music Store hasn't been able to load up on my Mac Mini with Leopard. It's been months since I tried to access it because I moved (I got a new ISP), and I am just getting this computer working after months of being down. I just re[placed the PRAM battery in ordewr to get the CD Drive working. After crashing a few times and checking the boards, I have tried a few things. I upgraded iTunes & all my Apple Apps with Software Update. No Joy. I downloaded Safari and reinstalled. No luck. I downloaded iTunes and reinstalled. I ran Disk Utility to repair permissions. No luck. The Store gets about 60% of the way and then quits with the message: iTunes has unexpectedly quit.
Details:
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x00000000b1ffbd84
Crashed Thread: 0
Don't know what else to do at this point.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. So long for now, Tom

Hi all,
I tried a few things suggested here, but they didn't solve the crashing issue, so I gave up and upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Sometimes things just go south I guess.
so long for now, TOM

ITunes Music Store VERY slow

With the rest of my internet connections working at full speed, I find that the iTunes Music Store has virtually become unresponsive. Minutes go buy waiting for every last click to finish. How can I improve this? It takes 3-4 minutes at least to go from one item to the next in the iTunes Music Store. Browsing is impossible at such speed. Everything else on my Mac is just fine. Using 9.1.
Help!

I think mine is my Internet provider - Optimum Online.
Did a speed check last night and was getting 2Mb/sec.
This morning I'm at 13.
I guess Friday night at 10:00 is Optimum throttle down time.
Just coincidence that I noticed this issue when I moved to an external HD... but I did see an answer somewhere saying that could be a problem. shrug

ITunes music store is not available in your region

I live in Jersey, Channel Islands and I am trying to create a music store account.
However, I am getting an error message after I submit my details: "The iTunes Music Store is not available in your region"
My ID shows the country as UK.
Can anyone help?

Sorry, but there is no iTunes Music Store for the Channel Islands. Though the Channel Islands are nominally under the auspices of the UK, legally they're separate entities, so the UK licenses for the iTunes Music Store don't apply and the record companies will prevent Apple from allowing you to purchase. Unless you have a legal residence in the UK (or some other country) and have a credit card with a billing address in that country, then you're out of luck, at least for now.
