Music Store Canada loads in French only- getting p-o'd!!!

I've loaded and reloaded i-tunes. The account is in English, all of my preferences are seemingly set to English. But when I open the music store it consistently opens to Canada but in French. Please, someone tell me what I need to do before I... you get the point. Just really annoyed, I hate being forced into a language, would like the choice. Besides, they don't have the same music available and that *****.

I have a similar problem. As I am in Japan, my Music Store always appears in Japanese characters even though the itunes language setting is set for American English. If I change the country setting in the Music Store to the US or Canada it automatically resets the currency as well as the language. Also, I've heard that there is a problem with purchasing music outside of one's territory.
I considered going to the C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources folder and deleting the Japanese language file, but many of my song titles are in Japanese. My fear is that these and titles in the store would then appear as garbled code.
Will deleting the language file only affect the tabs in the store, or the contents (album titles, etc.) as well? If necessary Japanese characters (like the yen symbol) disappeared, there'd be a bunch of page format problems, too.
What do you think?

  • ITunes Music Store Canada account creation issues

    Hello everyone! I'm hoping someone could help me out with my problems.
    I'm trying to setup an iTunes Music Store (Canada) account for my brother. I already have an account of my own and never had any problem with it. However, this time, I can't complete the account creation process. I get to the point where I enter the credit card information and address. I fill in every box, including the Province one: it's a drop-down menu and I select Quebec from it. When I click the Submit (I think it's Submit... it might be Next... I can't remember) button in the lower right corner, instead of going to the next step in the creation process, the page reloads and it tells me that I DID NOT fill in the Province box. There's a big arrow in a red circle pointing to the box. So, I reenter every information INCLUDING the Province field, reclick on the button and, lo and behold! I get the same message: You did not specify the Province (I'm paraphrasing).
    I have contacted Apple using their support form, but I got an absolutely useless reply. I think the person didn't read my message because he referred me to a beginner's tutorial on how to setup an account. I clearly explained the situation though, so I was disappointed.
    Did anyone ever encounter something similar? What do you suggest I do? Should I recontact Apple and re-explain the situation? Should I re-install iTunes? Will it affect the music libraries on my computer if I re-install it?
    For the record, I'm using a new 20" iMac with iTunes 7.0.2 and OS X 10.4.8.
    Thank you very much for any help you can provide me.
    ~Marc

    Your Dad should also check any credit/debit cards associated with his apple account... just incase anyone has been charging things to his account without him knowing.

  • When I click to customize firefox (themes and such), the page won't completely load. I only get the words no thumbtabs. And when I click on the words, it does

    on the drop down menu for firefox(in my bookmarks) I used to be able to customize firefox to change my themes. Now when I click on it, it only loads words, no pictures or thumb tabs to hover over or anything. When I click on the words, it does nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java. What is going on? What else can I do to fix this. And I have Windows Vista, just in case you need to know. Thanks Sharon

  • Itunes WONT load the itunes music store!

    i havent had this problem before. its pretty recent that it has occured. whenever i go to click itunes music store the loading bar appears like normal and it just keeps loading. i could let it sit there for hours and nothing would happen... it doesnt say CANNOT CONNECT.
    -I have downloaded the most recent version of itunes so i know that isnt the problem
    Please help
    ~Mike

    I am subscribed to a similar thread and thought I would confirm the information on that one.
    I too have never had a problem with the music store and then, all of a sudden, couldn't connect. I was getting an error message saying iTunes could not connect and I should check my browser. Did that and still nada so I posted on here (not having been able to negotiate the Apple website sufficiently to obtain an e-mail address!)
    It appears that Windows recently put out a load of security updates and this may well be the reason that anyone using iTunes on Windows may not be able to connect. The security patch they have released apparently stops iTunes connecting to the internet and hence no downloads!
    Apparently the Apple bods have said that this is a Windows patch and thus a Windows issue and should be fixed by Microsoft and they don't intend to do anything about it!
    However, I reckon that as soon as someone notices that the revenue from sales has dropped significantly, someone will fix it. In the meantime though, it appears no solution on the horizon!
    Oh how I pine for my Technic 1210's!

  • Music Store Connects Early AM, Freezes Later w/ 100% CPU Usage

    Hi,
    I connect to the internet using Hughesnet satellite (formerly Direcway). An important aspect of satellite, for any would-be troubleshooters of my problem, is that there is a time-lag from request to response of up to 1000ms (which is different than the <100ms response time of dsl or cable). Actual download speeds, however, are comparable.
    Here's my problem. When I load iTunes and go to the Music Store, the main music store page loads fine. In the early AM (when I assume traffic on both the satellite AND Music Store is less), when I click on a "genre" (in this case, TVShows), it goes to the TV Shows page and I can buy another episode of "24".
    But later in the day, after say 10 or 11AM EDT, when I click on a genre, it shows "Accessing Music Store" at the top and the horizontal 'barber shop pole' bar just turns and turns, without switching to the access progress bar. This can go on for quite a while (I've let it run for at least 15 minutes) and the only way to stop it is to end the iTunes process in Windows Task Manager. Also, if I go in to Windows Task Manager when iTunes is trying to access the Music Store, the iTunes CPU usage is a steady 99-100%.
    I'm running iTunes 6.0.4.2, which is, I believe, the latest. I'm running AVG Antivirus and Kerio Personal Firewall, and have tried a couple of times with both of these off. Same result. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
    I found this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=473475
    which seems to discuss a similar problem (Ok connecting in morning, nothing later in day) that turned out to be related to a specific ISP in the UK.
    In the case of Hughesnet (or any satellite), this may be a combination of iTunes/Music Store possibly needing some quick handshake as part of a security protocol, and a satellite connection getting a little too slow to execute the handshake as traffic picks up. I don't know, just a thought.
    But I DON'T think its on my computer - firewall, anti-virus or spyware - since it will connect during real low traffic houses (e.g. 7AM).
    Any suggestions anyone can make would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
    AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
    1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
    2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
    3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
    4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
    4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
    Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

  • Trouble Launching Music Store

    Hello out there,
    I have an Emac that's nearly 3 years old and has always operated on the OSX system. I've been struggling with the Music Store all day. I keep getting an error message telling me that this I don't have the program to support the protocols of the store. I updated my software to Mac Os X 10.28 and downloaded Itunes 6 but I still get the same darn message. Is there anything I can do to get to that store?

    Problems connecting to the iTunes Music Store often stem from issues with the Windows firewall, a privacy filter (such as McAfee Internet Privacy Service or Norton Internet Security) or a download accelerator. Start here:
    iTunes for Windows: Overview of Music Store Errors
    for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. What you need to do is temporarily disable any such service and see if that fixes the problem. If so, then if it's a firewall/Internet filter that's causing the problem and you'll need to set the offending service to allow iTunes to connect to the iTunes Music Store.
    Another possibility is an erroneous entry in the Hosts file. This tip from Mark Holly resolved problem for another poster (please note that I have not tried this fix so I cannot vouch for nor support the suggestion: I provide it only as a suggestion that worked for someone else):
    NOTE: this will change a Windows operating system file. This could cause you problems if not done correctly.
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to the following folder:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.
    In this folder is file called 'hosts'. Open it using Wordpad.
    On the poster's pc there was in this file one long line. At the end of this line was "127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com:. phobos.apple.com is the web address for the music store. What "127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com" is doing is telling the pc to look for the web address only on the computer rather than the internet. By remove this section of the line and saving the changes you may then be able to access the music store without any problems.
    IMPORTANT: Before making the changes to the hosts file I highly recommend making a backup of it. That way you can restore the original if other problems occur.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error (-3237) when acessing Music store on new computer

    I just got a new computer so I had to download iTunes on my new computer and When I sign in to access the music store the accessing music store window comes up but after a while the Error window comes up saying iTunes could not connect to the Music store. An unknown error occurred
    (-3237).
    HELP!!
    Thank you!

    Similar problems here.
    Brand new laptop. I can open iTunes or QuickTime independantly without problems. However, when I click on a movie trailer from within QuickTime I get the 3237 error when iTunes launches.
    After I click for desired trailer an IE window pops up:
    "One Moment Please.
    Connecting to the iTunes Music Store.
    Loading
    We are unable to find iTunes on your computer.
    (the above line is not visible until I cut and paste)
    If iTunes doesn't open, click the iTunes application icon in your Dock or Windows Task Bar."
    Windows then pops up a message that says:
    "The web page you are viewing is tring to close the window.
    Do you want to close the window?"
    In the meantme, iTune has opened but popped up an error:
    "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store.
    An unknown error occurred (-3237).
    Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    Now when I choose to close the IE window, and clear the Itunes error window, iTunes connects to the Music Store successfully.
    It's still annoying to clear the error every time though. Any ideas?

  • Access to ITunes Home Page and Music Stores in Other Countries

    In the past two days, I haven't been able to access any
    other ITunes music store except the US and only when I press
    music and not the little house (home) symbol.
    As I am an independent musician and my tracks sell on ITunes
    in US and abroad, I've been checking on how my tracks,
    particularly, Senza Fine, are doing in other countries
    (which top songs are currently posted on my Itunes webpage).
    But in two days I can't seem to access the home pages of
    countries other than the US, and I'm wondering why the
    "Could Not complete the Music Store Request--the Store
    may be busy" BOX keeps coming up. My internet connections
    seem fine.
    Other than that, I think ITunes is the best. I'm also happy to see the Starbucks connection and availablity of dvd's.
    Thank you for any input,

    I just fixed it, thanks to another poster's info. I had to
    uninstall my old ITunes and 70.2 Quicktime and install the
    new ITunes 7.0 with 7.1.1.3 Quicktime player. Now I have
    access to all files, all countries.

  • Can I add Podcasts to my iPod without going through the iTunes Music Store?

    I want to add some spoken word files to my iPod and store them in the Podcast section. They are not radio broadcasts and are not available through the Music Store, still there must be some way to file them where I want them. Downloading from the Music Store can't be the only way to file things under Podcast, or can it...?

    I'm not terribly familiar with podcasting but you can put podcasts on your iPod from sources other than iTMS. From memory, you have to add these manually. Have a look at the tutorial: Podcasting Tutorial

  • What is a "browser redirect" ? Why can't I access the music store?

    Hi,
    I just posted a message about not being able to access the music store. I said reconnect when I mean redirect.
    Does anyone know what's going on and why I can't I access the music store? I was able to get on 3 days ago. Thanks to all who can tell me something.
    This is REALLY starting to irritate me.
    Saradonna

    I am also becoming very frustrated. I am new to this forum but after spending the better part of my day off trying to figure out how to make this work I have hit the wall. It strikes me that this should be much easier to access considering that we are looking to spend money. Does apple not want my money? I have tried everything that was recommended in all the sites I have been directed to, to no avail. I am not a computer whiz, so I need specific and simple answers as to how to fix this. I have never been able to access the music store, and each time I try I get the white screen, and a perpetual connection bar. I then have to close iTunes, and reboot my computer to be able to access it again. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

  • Cannot connect to iTunes music store on iPad 1

    When I try and connect to the music store on my iPad I just get a message "cannot connect to iTunes store". I can however access the apps store. I can also access the music store from my Mac. 
    I have read a lot of discussion topics on this and it seems that this is a problem experience by many others especially on iPod. However I cannot find comments specifically related to iPad 1 and none of the suggested solutions in the existing discussion threads have worked for me.
    - I have a good wifi connection (this message sent via the connection)
    - There is no antivirus software on my iPad
    - All software is up to date
    - I have tried a reset (holding down home and sleep buttons simultaneously)
    I have spent ages trying to sort this out and its driving me nuts  anybody got any thoughts?

    Carolyn
    Many thanks for your reply. However, have already seen this discussion and have tried all of the suggested fixes. As noted above my software is up to date and I have a strong wireless network (proven by internet access over the same IPad). I am at a loss to thing what else could be an issue - seems to me that there is a sofware glitch in how the iTunes music store interacts with the iPad.

  • Can't connect to music store

    I was able to connect to the music store for months and now I get the error message: -3212 not connected to internet-- when in fact I am connected. I had not changed anything that I know of. I allowed exceptions in the firewalls (both the default windows and my security system) and even turned them both off and tried to log onto the music store without success. I am at a loss. Thanks.

    not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this
    question in but i'm having problems periodically
    logging into the music store. i get a message on my
    computer that says
    " Itunes could not connect to the music store.The
    network connection timed out. Make sure your network
    settings are correct and your network connection is
    active, then try again".
    could this be my computer? or does the music store
    time out sometimes? i'm sure all my network
    connections are correct, as sometimes i can connect
    to the music store. should i call technical support?
    i really wanted to purchase some itunes. So
    basically what can i do to get the music store up
    and running, or is it just the music store itself
    that is temporarily down? thanks for any help

  • 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.

  • I have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
    On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

  • Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

    Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

    You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
    These are the terms of the itunes store.
