Each iTunes country store can only be used if you have billing credentials with an address in that country, and are physically in that country at the time of purchase.

Can I purchase from two country's iTune stores?

I live in both China and the US. Is it possible to purchase software and APPs from both iTunes stores (US and China) to use on my computer and devices? Do I need two IDs or can I use one?

Yes, but you will need two different Apple IDs so you can have two different iTunes Store accounts, one in each country. You will also need credit cards or other appropriate payment methods issues in each country.

Purchasing from another country's iTunes store

Hi,
I am based in Australia and use iTunes extensively to buy music. Some of the songs that I am after are not available on the Australia iTunes store, but are on the US site. Is there a (legal) way to purchase these songs?

Hi, Rael.
Is there a (legal) way to purchase these songs?
Unless you happen to have a residence and credit card billing address in the States, unfortunately there isn't.
The reason why has to do with the business part of the music business so, for a bit of insight into the present situation, let's have a look at to This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel) :
The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
(....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
(.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
(...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.

How can I buy from a different country itunes store

No.
You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by valid billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
Sorry.

TS1702 How do I update an application that was purchased under a different (old) iTunes store ID?

A few apps I first purchased on my iPhone were under an old store ID. I updated/changed my ID and my old one won't work any more but when I try to update some of the apps I first installed on my phone the phone asks for the password for my old ID. No matter what I put for a password it won't let me update. If I try to change the password it changes it for my NEW ID. Other than repurchasing the app how do I get my phone to accept the update? I have already tried deleting the app and reinstalling it from my iTunes backup but it doesn't help.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. 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.
Apps can only be updates with the APple ID with which they were purchased. Apple will not transfer from one ID to anther, not merge IDs. You can recover the old ID using this link;

You cannot purchase from any other country's iTunes Store. The content owners will not allow cross-border sales.

HT1918 Can we use apple I'd to purchase from different country iTunes Store

Hello apple friends

You can only purchase from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it.
If there are items that you'd like to buy which aren't currently in your country's store then you could try requesting that they be added, but ultimately it's the content provider (app developer, record company, film studio etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

How can I download from other countries iTunes Stores?

I want to download from other countries iTunes stores but I have of course not a credit card for each of these countries and I can use my e-mail address only once (logically )to register. Any chance that I can download from i.E. the French store when I live in the UK?
Thanks for helping me if possible

Unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address 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 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. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

HT204053 can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and how do I sync updates on applications? Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way.

can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and how do I sync updates on applications purchased from either store? Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way. The trouble is I set up my appleid in new Zealand and so all icloud and itunes and app stores are under New Zealand Apple ID I have since moved to Australia. Im a real beginner at this stuff so bare with me pse.

I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job). What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software. (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.) The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance. I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers. When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install. We did! But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

Songs from other countries' iTunes stores

Why are songs from other countries' iTunes stores not available for purchasing in the American iTunes store? I found a song that I had been looking for in the French iTunes store, but could not buy it. I was annoyed. Is there any way around it?

In order to buy from a certain country's iTMS, you do need
either: a CC with a billing address in that country
or: an address in that country plus a prepaid card/gift voucher issued by iTMS in that country.
If you don't meet one of this conditions, there is no solution for you.
-sorry but the copyright holders wanted it that way; it's their decision to offer a certain track in a certain country or not to offer it.
Tip; This question on how to buy from another country is asked several times a week in the forums. In the future, I would suggest you do a search on your issue to see, if it has already been answered, that way you don't have to wait quite a long time for a response.

Wanted to transferr purchases from a different ipod to my itunes libary however, when I clicked transferr purchases it deleted all my music and replaced it with the purchase I had transferred this has never happend before... please help

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

Purchasing music from a non-UK iTunes store

I am unable to currently purchase music from a non-UK iTunes store, is there any way to circumvent this restriction??
Thank you.

No, you can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that what you want to buy is added it the UK store, but ultimately it's the record companies that will have to grant Apple license to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Is what you want to buy available on other download sites e.g. Amazon, HMV etc ?

How to get Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information I want to create a Paid Books Account use apple ID

I was given this address from the Apple customer support team.
I have an active existing iTunes store account and use the same Apple ID for signing into my iTunes Connect Account that distributes Apps.
I have created some books using the iBook author and in order to distribute content on the iBookstore I have been told electronically that I need a new Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information valid until 2013?
I want to create a Paid Books Account using the same email address, tax information and bank information. This has been most frustrating, as I cannot get passed the sign in section and there is no contact person I can speak to. I was of the understanding the iTunes connect account and the Developer programs which I paid good money for is all what I needed to be paid for selling iBooks on the iBookstore???
I only have one email address and wish to also use it for the Paid Books Account. I have books ready to be exported and published.
I am also having trouble locating and downloading iTunes Producer. I understand I need to have the Paid Books Account active to access the iTunes Producer program. Please help.
See additional information below:
What device did you use to connect to the store? Mac computer
Which operating system is installed? Mac OS X v10.7.x
What version of iTunes is installed on your computer? iTunes 10.6
Choose the iTunes Store or App Store for your country: Other
Please select your country: Australia

Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,
GB

HT204411 why cant i buy music from a different country( Canadian Store)

why cant i buy music from a different country( Canadian Store)

You can only buy content from your own country's store - if the music that you want isn't in your country's store then it's because the record company haven't granted Apple a license to sell it there. Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?
You can try requesting that it be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the record company's decision : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Purchasing from other International I-Tune Stores

Why do I need to create another I-Tunes account with another email address just to order from the Japanese or UK, etc I-Tunes store if I have a US I-Tunes account?

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.
