Please help,why cant i download a song in the american itunes store?

i have wanted this bloody song for ages and now i have found it the bloody site will not let me download it. the song is metalingius by alter bridge and i found it in the american itunes but still can not download it. it is not on the uk itunes list and i dont know why, if it is on the american one why not the uk one?

This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
b) a mailing address for your residence in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
This, again, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.
As to why it's in the US iTunes Store and not in the UK iTunes Store, it's undoubtedly because the holders of the UK distribution rights haven't granted Apple the right to sell the track in the UK.

  • If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

    If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
    Cheers.

    You canot easily change your country settings.  The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.

  • Please help - why won't my Ipod songs transfer into new Itunes?

    I have a new Macbook, and want to move all the songs from my Ipod into my Itunes library on this computer. Nothing works. Can someone please help?
    Please note - currently my library is on my crappy HP. But I did read that you can transfer all songs from the Ipod alone (including those not purchased from Itunes).

    I use an application called Senuti. That transfers all content from your iPod to your Mac, including non purchased content. It's free and easy to use. With your iPod connected to your Mac, launch Senuti and the rest is pretty simple. I would suggest you create a folder on your desktop and set your destination to that folder in the Senuti preferences. Also, it's a good idea to keep everything organized by checking the artist and album boxes in the preferences as well. Like I said, it's pretty easy. Good luck.

    the new transformers movie is out today in the american itunes store but i have a uk itunes account why cant i buy it ?

    It is up to the licenseholder/distributor to make their content available to Apple to sell in a particular country - until they do so, Apple can't sell it there. You can try requesting it (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html), but ultimately it's down to the distributor.

    I'd like to buy a song from the Australian iTunes store but when I try to purchase, it says I am only authorized to but from the US iTunes Store. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    You could check to see if there are any other stores that you can buy the song from. How about the artist's website? I've bought a couple of MP3s and even CDs from Australian artist's websites.

  • Why can't I make a purchase in the American iTunes store?

    I am a Canadian resident who would like to make a purchase in the US ITunes store. I don't know anyone in the US nor do I have a credit card with an American billing address. Is there any possible way for me to make a purchase in the American store, or am I pretty much screwed? I buy lots of music and all I want to do is give the US Store my money-why is this so hard? This wouldn't be an issue if the Canadian store just had what I am looking for (i.e. TV Shows!) -why does the selection vary from country to country anyway?

    Again, It's not up to Apple. They would love to have every track available to everyone in the world. The record companies and other rights holder are different in every country, though, so they require separate negotiation by Apple for the rights in each country. And since the rights are held separately in different countries, they all restrict Apple (and every other legal download store) to selling only to users within that particular country.
    So again, Apple can do nothing to change this unless and until the record companies arrive at a cross-border sales agreement, something I don't see happening anytime in the foreseeable future, even within the EU.

  • Can I buy a song from the German iTunes Store while in the U.S.?

    I'm from the US and have and buy all my music through the iTunes store. However, there's a song I want only available in the Deutchland iTunes store. It's .99 Euro. Anyone tried doing this? Is it possible? And does it equate to around $1.60 or whatever the exchange rate is? Thanks.

    It can be done but it's a pain.
    I'm a dual Canadian/US citizen. I move back and forth between the two.
    To purchase from itunes in more than one country you need more than one account.
    I set up my US account while I was in Canada, so you don't need to be in the Germany to buy from Germany. You do need a German itunes gift card and a mailing address in Germany.
    I have a legitimate US address, but to the best of my knowledge the address isn't really verified. I'm not suggesting you do anything dishonest, but when you have ties to two countries residency can be a vague concept.
    The really annoying part is itunes, and your ipod, will only recognize one account at a time. I have found that when I sync logged into my Canadian account apps purchased from the American store are disabled, even if they were already on the ipod.
    Apple's licensing protection is not unbiased, I haven't yet had any problems when I sync logged into the US store.
    Personally I think blocking content you've already purchased violates the consumer's rights.

    Hello,
    I also have the same issue here. I can't even buy new apps. You can see more of my problem here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4379941?tstart=0
    It seems to be some kind of wide-spread problem since discussions are appearing in the Mac App Store forum. I already contacted the Mac App Store support page located here:

    Hope this helps and don't worry you don't seem to be the only person with the issue...

  • Please help! - Artwork for podcast doesn't show up in iTunes store.

    Hi there - My artwork doesn't show up in the iTunes store.
    Artwork shows up fine in the downloaded episodes, but in the store, only the "plain" podcast icon shows up. It's been nearly a week.
    -I published my feed with Feeder and host it on my site
    -Feedburner pulls it in
    -I submitted it myself in iTunes (using the feedburner feed-need it for stats)
    -I have been approved, and people have started subscribing.
    -Feed has been vetted, and appears to be ok.

    The image is correctly referenced in the feed and there is an image at that URL. Some people have found that it takes some time for the image to appear, even after the podcast itself has been approved and appeared in the Store. so I should give it another few days.

  • Ho do I search for a specific song in the new itunes store?  The search button is missing.

    I have always searched the iTunes store for specific songs by the song title and not by the album or artist.  Is this still possible?  I have spend an hour looking and have not found any way to search inside the store. 

    If you are missing the Search field you may be missing the entire top section, together with the progress bar when playing and the red, yellow and green buttons. This can happen if iTunes overlaps the top of the screen (which of course it shouldn't do).
    If this is the case, click and drag on the very bottom right-hand corner of the window (when in Library/Music or the iTunes Store) and drag upwards to reduce the height of the window. Then click on the bottom bar and drag downwards.

  • How to delete songs (purchased from wifi itunes store) finally?

    Hello,
    i have recently purchased some songs from the wifi itunes store on my iPod touch, but i don't want them on my iPod and in my iTunes anymore. I already deleted them from my iTunes, but every time i sync it, the songs keep coming back to my iTunes instead of deleting it from my iPod.
    My iTunes settings are set to not automatically download any purchases as well as the store settings on my iPod for automatic downloads are off.
    If I sync my iPod with my iTunes library, I get the question whether I want to transfer the purchases to my library and if not, they'll be deleted from my iPod. As this is exactly what i want, I ticked "don't transfer purchases".
    But these songs still keep coming back to my itunes library!
    Can anyone please help how to delete these songs? Thanks a lot in advance!
    iTunes for Windows 7: 10.5.1.
    iPod touch 4G 8GB iOS 5.0.1.

    I think you have to remove the same song manually from any device this is transferred to before the next sync.
    I know this is annoying and makes things complicated. Apple should look into this and find a "simple" and "elegant" solution about this (and other similar syncing issues) cause if you have more than 2 devices is hard to manage them and Apple was supposed to make things "simple" and not complicated and harder to manage.
