Purchasing apps in a different country using Canadian account

Hi there...
My wife is currently in another country for a few weeks. I was thinking of gifting her some $$$ so that she can buy some ipad apps, etc. Does anyone know that if she switches to the Canadian itunes in a foreign country, will she be able to download whatever app she desires while logging into her Canadian account from a foreign IP? Is this within the ToS of Apple?
We could create a second account in the foreign country, and send her a physical gift card from Apple's local store. However, we want to avoid doing that as the account would be temporary and would never be used again.
Thanks!

The default store should not change becuase you are in a different country. appleID's are tied to the country where they were created, and can only download from there.
She should have no problmes downloading apps from the Canadian store if that is the store the account was created in.
IP location used to be a factor, but not any more as far as I know.

How can I get purchased apps from a different country store

Hi
When I created my Apple ID I was in italy and obviously I used an Italian store. After few years I moved to Australia and I changed the country store for the apps store. After I backup reset and restore my iphone I lost most of the application. Is not a problem because I know they are somewhere under my Apple ID but I don't know how can I re-download them. For example "Pages" I downloaded when I use the Italian store, now I can't get it from the Australian store but even if I change store and swap to the Italian one is like it doesn't recognise I already purchased that app in past and asking me to buy it again. Please i need ur heeelp.
Grazie :)

If the old account still exists, switch to the French store by: Settings > iTunes and App Stores > Apple ID > View Apple ID > enter password > Coutnry/Region.
If you have a different Apple ID in the French store, at the View Apple ID step you will have to sign out and then sign in with the French Apple ID, and then continue to change the country/region.

Hello there, Tag2011.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up great information on the process of downloading a previous purchase:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Particularly useful in your instance:
Before you begin
Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase.
See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store. If you changed your Apple ID from one country to another, you can’t download items you purchased in a previous country.
and then to download again:
Apps
Tap App Store.
If you're using an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Updates, then tap Purchased.
If you're using an iPad, tap Purchased.
Find the item that you want to download.
Tap the Download icon. After the app downloads, you can open it from the Home screen.
If you can't find the item that you purchased in the iTunes Store, report a problem with the item. You can report a problem with a purchase made within the last 90 days.
If you have a problem with an older purchase, contact iTunes Store support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different one to purchase iTunes music

Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different Apple ID to purchase music off iTunes on the same computer?

Short answer, yes.
Long answer, it can make things more complicated, especially if you start adding iOS devices to the mix.

Will apps work in different country?

Hello everyone,
I've just installed iTunes on computer and as I did that I chose location as Lituania, although I'm in England.
I also chose location as Lituania when registering for iTunes on iPad.
The iPad is travelling and staying in Lituania, where all the purchased apps are going to be used.
I want to, using computer, purchase and 'gift' apps for iPad (two separate Apple IDs).
My question is this- Are the apps, that I can see on iTunes and going to buy on computer, "location- correct" and going to work on iPad when used in Lithuania?
Thank you for your time!

You do realise that anything Purchased with ' UK Apple ID ' is Tied to that ID and Cannot be Transfered to any other Apple ID...

Is there anyway to get bank of America app if using Canadian account

I have tried downloading Bank of America app, but as from Canada am using Canadian account. is there anyway around this

Not if the B of A hasn't chosen to release the app in the Canadian iTunes Store, no. You can only use the iTunes Store of the country you live in (or at least in which you are physically present and have a valid mailing address in).
Regards.

I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. Then iWork would be listed as purchased app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account...

Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. I assume that if I buy an iPhone 5s (or 5c) then iWork would be listed as a "purchased" app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account... or are keynote, pages, and numbers completely seperate between ipad and iphone? I know they would be a seperate purchase for my Powerbook. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi,
I was able to load the Productivity Suite / Free !! on both my iPad mini and my iPhone 5s with no problems and at no cost.

When I updated the new version and used icloud, some of the apps are missing, how can I find those apps(but i was not using my account to download some apps before). Please advise.

They are free to iOS 7 users who have activated their NEW device on Sept 1 2013 or after. They are NOT automatically free with iOS 7.
AirDrop is only compatible with iPad 4th gen and iPad mini. iPad 3rd gen and below do contain the necessary hardware for AirDrop. Also, AirDrop is only compatible between iOS devices. You cannot AirDrop between iOS device and Mac OS.

HT1807 I travelled to a different country & using a new sim; with the change in sim, I have been unable to use iMessage & FaceTime. Cant replace replace the earlier no with the current one and it reads error. how to correct this?

I traveled to a different country and using a new sim/new carrier. With the change in the sim, I have been unable to use the iMessage--outside of WiFi coverage area, and FaceTime at all time. I believe it is due to the phone number registered as an address in the phone, which has not changed with the change of sim; so it countinues to showing as an error while varifying the data.
Wonder if any of you are in a position to advise as to how to address the following.
1. I need to input correct phone no, meaning the number I am using in the correct location.
2. I need to activate FaceTime and be able to use it.
3. I need to be able to use iMessage and/or ordinary sms while outside of WiFi coverage area.
It may be mentioned in my current location I don't have GPRS on the cell phone which is the case in my regular station.
Thanks for your help.

Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

Can't find my purchased apps after changing the country ?

I Changed thr country in the setting of itunes , and i can't find my purchased apps , i need help

That is how it will show, all content is tied to the country as well as to the account, items will no longer show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps for redownloading for free.
For apps if you try to redownload an app from the main part of the store you should (based on what other people have posted) get a prompt saying that you've already bought the app and would you like to redownload it for free - try a free or cheap app and see if you get a similar prompt.
For media (music, films, tv shows) you will have to pay again if you want to redownload them.

HT2589 I am unable to buy and app. My phone prompts me to add a credit card in order to purchase app although i have $25 in the account. Any suggestions?

Why do I get a prompt to add a credit card to my account in order to purchase an app? I have $25 in my account to use and I do not want to add a credit card.

Have you contacted iTunes support and asked them why the message is appearing ? If not then you can do so via this page (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

HT1222 With latest update my 4S says I can't purchase apps unless I buy them from Canadian Store

All of a sudden after last update my phone won't download iPhone apps from iTunes Store and says I have to purchase them through Canadian app store

What iTunes store do you have an account with? If you are signed into the wrong account, you will not be able to make purchases. If you need to sign into a different iTunes Store, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311

I bought an itunes gift card in a different country than my account is reg to, can i use it??

my acc is reg in ireland, i am currently in new zealand and bought a gift card, i cant work out how to use it, help!

You can't.
They are country specific.
You could get a New Zealand address, then get a credit card that is billed to that address, then set up an account in New Zealand, and as long as you are inside the Borders of New Zealand, then you could redeem the card.
