Poor iTunes store in country of residence...can I change?

I am South African and live in Qatar and am on the Qatar istore. The Qatar store virtually deems any Apple products almost useless even though we have paid the same for the product as the available content is so poor. Can I open another iTunes account in a different country without having an account there?
without a solid itunes store, what is the point in having the product?

Sorry but no. You can only use the iTunes Store of the country in which you are physically present and have a valid payment method.
As to the content available in your country, Apple can only sell what the content owners are willing to license for sale there. I'd suggest you contact the owners of the content you would like to purchase and urge them to make it available in the iTunes Store in Qatar. I see a lot of apps, music and films available in the Qatar iTunes Store, and you can of course import your own CDs, so I don't see how an iPhone et. al. could be classified as useless.
Regards.

Is the store that you bought the card from nearby so that you can try going back and asking if they can activate the card properly ? If it's not, or if they can't/won't activate, then you will need to do as the message says and contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt)

Hi Nanas12,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you continue to see an "unable to purchase" message on the iTunes Store, I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article:

My Gmail linked to ITunes Store was Hacked. I can't access ITunes account!!

My Gmail I use to access Itunes store was hacked. I can't get in to change the password, and Google is not responding. Verify steps have been changed.
So, I want to make sure my Itunes account is protected but they must have used the email change using my Gmail to also change my password there
HELP!

If the password to your iTunes Store account was changed, you can try the iForgot site:
iforgot.apple.com
and use the "answer security questions" option. With luck, the hackers won't have thought to change those questions. You should then be able to change the password. If those questions were also changed, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

i live in indonesia an it appears i couldnt find any songs or albums to buy in itunes store... so how can i buy this things??? is there another way for me to buy songs or albums in itunes store??

They are not currently available in Indonesia, so you won't be able to buy them from Apple. Do you have access to other music purchase download sites ? You can also copy your own CDs via your computer's iTunes.

HT1689 Hello I traveled outside the country and now my ipad cannot update or purchase apps. It tells me to switch the the USA store to continue; therefore how can I change the purchasing process to the USA store?

How can I swicth stores in order to update or purchase apps.
I am currently in a different country and I do not know why it changed stores to the local country store. I need to change it to the USA store to perfom updates and purchases?
Can anyone help?
Thank you

Here's a little more information from a previous post:
iTunes Store content is country specific. When you change countries, you no longer receive app update notifications on your iOS device or in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country, nor do those Apps appear on your new country's Purchased page.
However, you will still be able to download those applications again for free if they are present on your new country's store (even if they are updated).You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased app is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again.
The following article describes how to review your account's purchase history so that you may view the titles of the Apps you previously purchased:
