Need to purchase books from the American App Store!

I have a Saudi Visa credit card and I can't purchase iBooks when I switch to my American App Store account.
The Saudi iBookStore only has very old and classic books.
Any solutions? 

All content (ibooks, apps, music etc) is supplied to Apple by the content providers to sell on a country-by-country basis (they want control over where their content is sold), each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to use its store. You can try requesting that the books be added to the Saudi store, but without the rights-holders agreement Apple wont be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html (as fas as I can see no paid-for books are currently available in the Saudi store, I assume that so far not enough publishers have agreed to let Apple sell paid-for books there)
If you are trying to use the US store when not in the US then you violating the store's terms that you have agreed to - Apple could potentially permanently disable the account.

  • Unable to review apps ("to review this app, you must have purchased it from the Mac app store)

    I've been having this problem since getting my iMac, about 6-8 months ago.
    I can review apps for about 3-4 hours after buying them; sometimes for up to 12 hours.
    Then it's as if I cross a magic, invisible, and powerfully frustrating barrier - whenever I try to review an app, I get a message saying 'to review this app, you must have purchased it from the Mac App Store.'
    In many ways, the App Store is clearly aware that I HAVE purchased it from the Mac App Store. The button at the top of the screen - the one that would usually say 'purchase' - says 'installed.' I can DL updates. I can, for the first sprinkling of hours, provide (and edit) reviews. However, after this mysterious cutoff, the one thing I can't do is leave a review...
    Mac App Store support have been well-intentioned, but utterly hopeless.
    They started by suggesting I had an 'iTunes error -50', and that I delete / renew my network settings (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1811). I didn't have an iTunes error -50, and the fix didn't work.
    They then suggested that I change my iTunes ID so that it was associated with a new email account. OK, right. Done that. Still no joy.
    They then suggested that I sign out with my iTunes ID, and then sign back in again. Something which I'd already tried repeatedly, with no joy. (I've also tried deauthorising and reauthorising my computer - again with no joy).
    Any other thoughts greatly appreciated...

    Try this....
    In App Store, go to Purchases (top menu). Find the app you want to review, make sure it is marked Installed. Then click on the app from that window. Now try to write a review. This worked for me, but it could also be something I ate.

  • Is there a way to get receipts for previously purchased items in the Mac App store?

    I just switched computers and did not save all of my receipts from my previously purchased items from the Mac app store.  I was wondering if there was any way to retrieve receipts that showed how much I paid and when I bought the items.

    Open iTunes on the new Mac, sign into your account and view your account information. There is a section for Purchase History where you can view the invoices for everything that you have ever bought from the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store.

  • About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

    Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

  • Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store

    I am trying to download new version of iTunes from App store having purchased it on my laptop.  When I try to download on my iMac I get the following message:
    Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows:  iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store - and then I am asked if I want to buy it again. I don't understand the error message and I don't want to purchase the new version again.
    Also, since upgrading to Lion my videos (from Sanyo Xacti camera) do not play on iTunes. I can only open photos.
    Thank you.

    Make a back up of your Library. Now you can update without fear.

    Hi Sandra,
    you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
    Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy.  There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:"  The default selection is 'Mac App Store'.  Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".

  • HT4906 I PURCHASED THE LATEST VERSION OF IPHOTO FROM THE MAC APP STORE, AND WOULD LIKE IT TO WORK ON THREE OF OUR COMPUTER'S.  HOW CAN I DO THAT.

    If I purchase the latest version of iphoto from the Mac app store on my Macbook Pro, how do I get it to run on my two other Mac computers, which are desk top computer's?

    Sign into the App Store on each computer that does not have iPhoto. Use the same Apple ID used to purchase it. Locate iPhoto in your Purchased list and click on the active Install link.

  • Where is the app I just bought from the Mac App Store?

    Hello there!!
    My name is Dani G. I use the Pixelmator app a lot to make book covers, banners, story ads, and some other graphics for people on Wattpad, and I always use Pixelmator. When my 30-day-trial ended, I bought it from the App Store with my App Store gift card, and my money even showed that I bought it.
    But when I installed it to my Mac, it just showed that it was downloading, then the app would disappear from my dock. I stared, shocked, so I tried looking for it in my Finder. I couldn't find it anywhere, and I kept trying to install it again and again.
    I even deleted the old Pixelmator trial app I had, and it still wouldn't show up.
    Whys is this happening and how can I find my purchase on my computer to start using it?

    Try purchasing a free app from the Mac App Store and see what happens. Essentially it needs access to the Applications folder, so if you have experienced any permission issues with that folder, you may want to consider running Disk Utility and repairing the permissions for Macintosh HD.
    If you think it's Dock-related, try dragging another item to your dock...either another application from Applications, or a folder right next to the Trash (NOT in the Trash).
    Start with the basics, restart the iMac and check your Purchases in the MAS to see if Pixelmator is listed.

  • My Mid-2011 Macbook Air becomes extremely hot when installing apps from the Mac App Store and when deleting apps

    My Mid-2011 Macbook Air 13-inch (OSX 10.8.1 Mountain Lion) becomes hot to the touch when trying to delete large documents, watching videos after waking it from sleep-mode and when installing applications from the Mac App Store. This has also been happening with OSX Lion before I upgraded it to Mountain Lion.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish.

When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    What needed to be done the day that you set up the new Mac was go into the Mac App Store (MAS), sign into your iTunes/MAS Apple ID, go to the Purchases pane and Accept the iLife apps that would have been there in a special section. That would have sent you Mac's unique identifier code to Apple's servers and verified that this Mac was eligible for the bundled iLife suite and then registered these apps into your MAS account.
    You might try going to  ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist, delete the adption plist, restart the Mac and then go to the Purchaes pane and see if you can Accept the apps into your account.

  • I reinstalled tiger on one iMac, but want to re-upgragde it to Lion.  I don't have the discs anymore, but I installed Lion from the Mac App Store.  Now that I'm back to 10.4, I don't have the App Store.  I have a new iMac with Mavericks, but it won't let

    I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out.  I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs.  I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store.  But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions.  I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
    Any ideas?

    To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.
