Purchasing from other country iTunes site

I tried to download the Beat It cover by Pomplamousse, (ref. http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/beat-it/id362278813?i=362278850&ign-mpt=uo%3D6 ) . An pop up box told me to switch to the US store, I clicked OK. I could see the Tribute to Famous People album page in iTunes, but cannot purchase the song because an error message pops up telling me I can only purchase from the Canadian iTunes store.
How can I create another or modify my Apple ID to allow me to purchase songs from the US store?

In order to purchase from the U.S. Store, you would need to have a U.S. account. You would need a U.S. billing address, a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes gift card purchased in the U.S. and you would need to be physically located in the U.S.

    How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

    Hi John,
    I appreciate your prompt response.
    We have an Australian client here in the Philippines and would want to purchase an adobe software under Creative Cloud Licensing.
    Since this type of licensing is not yet available here in the Philippines, they are suggesting that they can purchase it in their country.
    My main concern is, will there be any conflict upon installing/activating an adobe software under Creative Cloud which will be purchased from their country?
    And what are the steps for installing and activating a software under this type of license.

  • Application error when downloaded from different country Itunes site

    Hi,
    I recently got a US gift card for the US Itunes store and downloaded an application but it won't sync (get a sync undefined error). I tried the troubleshooting directions supplied (deauthorise and re-authorize etc) but I suspect that it is becasure I now have two Itunes accounts (one in the AUS Itunes site and one in the US site) any ideas on how to get both US and AUS content working? I have tried authorising two accounts on the this computer but it didn't seem to work either.
    regards

    You can only purchase from the iTunes Store in your country of residence.
    From the US iTMS T&C (http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html):
    +"Purchases or rentals (as applicable) from the iTunes Store are available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions, and are not available in any other location. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Store from outside of the available territory. Apple may use technologies to verify such compliance."+
    Technologies such as matching your IP address to the country-specific store you are trying to download from.

  • Can i watch content downloaded from other country itunes stores

    If I purchase content on overseas itunes store can I watch it here in AU?

    First you will have problems even purchasing it from another country.  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.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance. - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE"
    I don't know if there would be issues actually playing it if you did eventually get it on your computer.  There must be people who buy content in one country, then move to another country and I would think we would see many complaints here if all their old content suddenly stopped working.

  • 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 do I make purchases from other countries iTunes/app stores?

    pretty straightforward question.

    You will have to be in that country, and have a billing address in that country on your account - the store's terms require you to be in a country to use its store.
    If there is a particular item or items that you would like to buy that aren't currently available in your own country's store then you can try requesting that they be added, but unless the rights-holders agree to it then Apple won't be able to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Or try contacting the developer/record label etc and ask them to allow Apple to sell them in your country.
    Or for music you could see if it's available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to.

  • Cannot purchase from another country's iTunes....

    I know we cannot purchase from another country's iTunes, but how about if someone in that country gifted songs to us? For example, my wife here in the U.S. wants stuff from the Japanese iTunes store but can't buy it; can her sister in Japan "gift this song" to her? Thanks.

    No, you can only successfully gift to people who are in the same country as yourself - the gifting may appear to go though, but your wife won't be able to redeem it

    I just moved to the US from other country. How do I move my current apple id to US iTunes store?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
    You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

  • Does Anyone Know How to Buy from Other Countries' iTunes

    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to buy from other countries' iTunes, because I live in the US and have a US credit card, but alot of the songs I want only seem to be available on the French site.
    Does anyone know if theres some sort of way around this? Would it be possible to, say, buy French iTunes gift cards?

    No, you cannot due to Licensing and copyright issues, which vary from country to country. Unless you have a billing adress in France, you will not be able to purchase from the French iTunes store. Having a gift card from there will not help, because you need to also have a French Billing adress. Sorry,
    Rachyl

  • 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.

  • I am a Brit living in Germany. I really need to be able to purchase from the German iTunes Store (in €) and the English one (in £). How can I set this up from my iPad?

    I am a Brit living in Germany. I really need to be able to purchase from the German iTunes Store (in €) and the English one (in £). How can I set this up from my iPad?

    Technically correct (the best kind of correct)
    Now if the Op has and retains a UK account with billing address and UK paymant card - He/She can continue to use the UK store in Germany - Apple does NOT use IP address blocking just a valid paymant card attached to a postcode !
    Basically the first four of your paymant card are country codes.
    What the op needs to do if he/she now has a Germany address and payment method (could just be German € value gift cards) is to open a separate German iTunes Account !
    On a PC/Mac its very easy to change stores, however iOS has it a bit more difficult.
    In fact i would recommend the Op sets up a new German account and credentials on a PC/Mac first.
    And doing so just means opening the store in iTunes scrolling to the bottom of the screen and clicking on the littler circular flag in the bottom right.
    After that the browser window is populated with loads of similar disc flags. Clicking any take you to that regional store where provided you have a valid address (Postcode/Zipcode actually) and payment method local credit/debit some prepayment VISA cards or just a gift card you can create a local account.
    Oh and because Apple do NOT use IP addressing you don't actually have to be present in the country of that store. Its against to terms of the EULA but it works !
    Back to the iOS device
    Tap Settings/iTunes & App Store /Apple ID (that will probably be showing the UK account set up).
    In the window that opens tap log out
    Now  change the ID to the new German name and password and in the next window make sure the flag selected is that of Germany (when in Germany)
    When buying from the UK store follow that path again log out of the German account and re-log in using the UK ID
    As it happens I have a UK Portuguese and US account all active because I have residences in all three - and can visit any of the stores from anywhere.

  • 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.
