Purchasing app from another country overseas

I am in Italy. I am Australian. My credit card is from an Australian bank. I bought my mac in the USA. I am having trouble downloading an app here because the app store is in Italian. Ok I can understand the Italian more or less, but then when I want to purchase and I have to enter the billing address, it won't let me set Australia as the country. This is shithouse. I just want to download angry birds. Why do they make it so hard when I want to give them money? This is the first time I tried using the appstore - i didn't even know it existed before but i mis-typed something in spotlight and there it was. So now I want to buy angry birds and it suddenly spouts all this crap in Italian at me. The OS is in English and they already know my Australian address, why suddenly start asking me to read through terms and conditions in Italian. Anyone know how to get around this? What am I missing here? Thanks everyone

To use a bank card in an iTunes/Mac App Store account, the card has to be from the same country as the iTunes Store and have a billing address for the bank card in that country.
So if you want to use an Australian bank card to buy an app in the Mac App Store you will need to go to the bottom of the MAS page and change the store to the Australian Mac App Store and have an Australian billing address.
If you have not done so already, it is easier to set up the account with the Australian bank card in the Australian iTunes Store first.

HT204266 How do purchase app from different country store?

Is that a way to purchase app from different country store?

Well, if you are in India, and are using a credit card registered there, and associated with your userid and the India app store you should be able to purchase an app from that app store.
If you are in the UK and attempting to purchase from the India store you may not be able to even connect...you might try and see if you can and what happens.

I've changed my account's country, adress, and phone number because I've moved and my purchased apps (from previous country) does not appear anymore, how do I fix it?

That is the expected behavior. You will also no longer be alerted to any updates for that content.
If any of the content is sold in the new country's store and you find out through the grapevine about an update, you can update the content for free, but you will have to go through the steps for buying the update as a new purchase. Then the store will notice in the final steps that you own this content and update for free. It is the end of the road for any content from the previous country that is not sold in the current country's store. You will not be able to update the content in the new store.

Why o why can I only purchase Apps from my country's app store? Better apps in other countries!!

I am sorry, but we have crap apps in South Africa!! I want to know why I cannot purchase apps from the US or Canada stores. I can purchase items over the internet with my credit card from stores in the US, so why not apps?

Yes, I know. It's all a bit silly in some ways, but even major countries seem to have problems dealing with the digital world. That world changes quickly, while governments tend to lumber on like the long dead giant herbivores. But in the evolutionary scheme of things that seems the rule: the bigger you are, the slower you move!.
From my travel experiences of 20 or 30 years ago, I can remember when you would be hard put to find Visa accepted widely outside of the US. Everyone preferred MasterCard or American Express. The latter was not overly liked because of the fees they charged vendors. Fortunately, that's not the case anymore, but it took those changes a while to happen. I recall my first trip outside of the US for which I had my Visa and AmEx cards. Then I discovered that no one took Visa. Even the local ATMs didn't accept Visa, and most did not like AmEx. Went to a local bank in order to get cash using the Visa card because that was my only recourse at the time. They told me I should have used a MasterCard. Who knew? Next trip I had a MasterCard in my wallet.

Can I purchase music from another country?

I want to purchase the track "Empires" by a British artist named Lamya. She passed away and it is a very good song. I can see that the song is for sale on the US iTunes site but it says I cannot purchase it because I am in Canada. How can I access it? I don't understand why there is a restriction for this. If I went to the UK and bought the CD there, I could bring it back to Canada and it wouldn't be a problem. If I bring my laptop to the US and purchased it while in the US, would I be able to keep it on my laptop, iphone when I returned to Canada?

You can't - the Terms of Use of the stores state that you can only buy from the country that you are in (e.g. due to licensing/distribution terms etc)

Installing app from another country

I am with Itune Ireland and want to download an app from Itunes UK but it keeps telling me it is going to change to Ireland. The app is not in Ireland and is not applicable to any Irish organisation so how do I install it?

You can only download apps from the iTunes store for the country you are registered in. Maybe contact the App developer and find out if they intend to put it in the Irish store?

Purchasing Music from another Country Store

Hi,
I dislike the fact that I can't get music from other store than the one from my country. As an example, on the USA store, there is much more albums from internationnal artists than on the Canadian store. That's a bit annoying. Some older albums that I can preview, but I can't buy.
Thanks.

Help with purchasing with from another country's Music Store

I'm trying to buy some song from the German iTunes Music Store but iTunes won't let me because my credit card isn't a German credit card. I don't see why this is a problem because the artist and Apple are still going to get money from my purcashe, just from a different country. Any suggestions on the best way to buy a song from the German Music Store?

its the record companies at fault companies like warner and emi in the uk dont want you to buy music from warner in the US or emi in germany as it is lost revenue to that business unit.. record companies are not benevolent suppliers of art they are capitalists and like to accrue money, the whole issue of the music lovers desire for global trading of music has long frustrated them and hence why hefty prices are paid for music imports.. this issue was what frustrated Apple's desire to produce the euro itunes store and the segmenting of the store by country was one of the things it had to do to get the labels to agree to let them have music to sell. The online music sales phenomenon has highlighted the despicable business tactics of the record labels and the EU are i believe investigating them and their shady practises....

Hi, I just received an app as a gift from my older brother who has an american account. The problem is I use an european account, so the code I received is invalid for me .We weren't aware of this restriction, so does anyone know how to fix this problem?

You can try contacting itunes support and asking for a refund.
