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.

  • 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.

  • Purchase songs from other international iTunes stores?

    I know you can switch back and forth between international stores but can you purchase from the international stores?
    I've got as far as 'billing address' but it asks me where my billing address is, I say, "U.S." and it reverts me back to the U.S. iTunes store, does this mean i cannot purchase from international iTunes stores? Do I need to set up another account? I'm a bit confused and afraid to say 'yes' to things that my get charged that I don't want charged..
    your help is greatly appreciated.
    - Tina

    The way I understand it, you need a valid adress in a country whose iTS you want to use. Likewise, Europeans cannot use the American Store, which has a lot of things we don't have.
    So, unless you know someone with a valid adress in one of these countries, I'm afraid you're out of luck.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why don't songs that I have purchased show under the "Purchased" section in the I-tunes Store? I have purchased a large quantity

    Why don't songs that I have purchased show under the "Purchased" section in the I-tunes Store? I have purchased a large quantity & it only shows 2.

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

    i can t record my computer on the i tune store. My goal is to download music from my playlist i tune store (virtual) to my real iTunes play list?

    When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
    Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

  • Filling dynamic internal table with data from other internal table

    Hi Friends,
    My problem is that i have already built a dynamic internal table
    (class int_table->create) but now i want to fill it with data from other internal table.
    The dynamic table column name and the field value of the data filled internal table are same, but how to access that column name, since i cant hard code it anyway.
    Like if my werks field value is '8001'. I want to place it under the column 8001 of dynamic table, Can anybody help me in this regard?
    Awarding points is not a problem for even giving a slight hint.
    Best Regards

    Hi
    See this
    Dynamic internal table is internal table that we create on the fly with flexible column numbers.
    For sample code, please look at this code tutorial. Hopefully it can help you
    Check this link:
    http://www.****************/Tutorials/ABAP/DynamicInternaltable/DynamicInternalTable.htm
    Sample code:
    DATA: l_cnt(2) TYPE n,
    l_cnt1(3) TYPE n,
    l_nam(12),
    l_con(18) TYPE c,
    l_con1(18) TYPE c,
    lf_mat TYPE matnr.
    SORT it_bom_expl BY bom_comp bom_mat level.
    CLEAR: l_cnt1, <fs_dyn_wa>.
    Looping the component internal table

    CLEAR: l_cnt1.
    AT NEW bom_comp.
    CLEAR: l_cnt, <fs_dyn_wa>, lf_mat.
    For every new bom component the material data is moved to
    temp material table which will be used for assigning the levels
    checking the count
    it_mat_temp[] = it_mat[].
    Component data is been assigned to the field symbol which is checked
    against the field of dynamic internal table and the value of the
    component number is been passed to the dynamic internal table field
    value.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT c_comp_list OF STRUCTURE <fs_dyn_wa> TO
    <fs_check>.
    <fs_check> = gf_it_bom_expl-bom_comp.
    ENDAT.
    AT NEW bom_mat.
    CLEAR l_con.
    ENDAT.
    lf_mat = gf_it_bom_expl-bom_mat.
    Looping the temp internal table and looping the dynamic internal table
    *by reading line by line into workarea, the materialxxn is been assigned
    to field symbol which will be checked and used.
    LOOP AT it_mat_temp.
    l_nam = c_mat.
    l_cnt1 = l_cnt1 + 1.
    CONCATENATE l_nam l_cnt1 INTO l_nam.

    ENDLOOP.
    IF <fs_xy> = lf_mat.
    CLEAR lf_mat.
    l_con1 = l_con.
    ENDIF.
    Checking whether the material exists for a component and if so it is
    been assigned to the field symbol which is checked against the field
    of dynamic internal table and the level of the component number
    against material is been passed to the dynamic internal table field
    value.
    IF <fs_xy> = gf_it_bom_expl-bom_mat.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT l_nam OF STRUCTURE <fs_dyn_wa> TO <fs_check>.
    CLEAR l_con.
    MOVE gf_it_bom_expl-level TO l_con.
    CONCATENATE c_val_l l_con INTO l_con.
    CONDENSE l_con NO-GAPS.
    IF l_con1 NE space.
    CONCATENATE l_con1 l_con INTO l_con SEPARATED BY c_comma.
    CLEAR l_con1.
    l_cnt = l_cnt - 1.
    ENDIF.
    <fs_check> = l_con.
    l_cnt = l_cnt + 1.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    AT END OF bom_comp.
    At end of every new bom component the count is moved to the field
    symbol which is checked against the field of dynamic internal table
    and the count is been passed to the dynamic internal table field
    value.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT c_count OF STRUCTURE <fs_dyn_wa> TO <fs_check>.

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

    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.

  • International / foreign purchases from other countries for dual nationals

    My Friends (quoting John McCain),
    I live in both the US and in France splitting my time between the two countries. I have 2 houses. I have 1 credit card in France and 1 credit card in the USA. I have a billing address in each country.
    I have an iTunes account based on my US credit card and billing address. When I download music purchased from the US store everything goes into my account. No problem. Love iTunes.
    However, I also want to buy French music (C'est normal, non?). I understand the need to have a credit card and billing address in the country. I do.
    The problem is the only solutions I see to this problem are to: (A) set up 2 separate iTunes accounts, one in the USA and one in France, or (B) somehow purchase gift cards for myself in France and buy from iTunes France but using my single US account.
    If I set up 2 accounts, I can't merge my libraries... or at least I'm not sure how I could do that.
    I have not tried the gift card idea. I'm not sure how to purchase them or how it would work. But it seems like this might be the only solution.
    Does anyone know which is the best solution?
    Or does anyone have simpler or more creative ideas on how to deal with this problem?
    I'm sure I'm not alone.
    Thanks in advance to all of you who have posted before me and to all of you who might respond with ideas.

    So, set up an iTunes France account. You qualify.

    Yes, this would be the correct solution.
    (B) somehow purchase gift cards for myself in France and buy from iTunes France but using my single US account.
    You can't use French gift cards with a U.S. account so that wouldn't work.
    If I set up 2 accounts, I can't merge my libraries... or at least I'm not sure how I could do that.
    Just because you have two separate accounts doesn't mean you have to have two separate libraries, as far as I know. I haven't tried this as I have only one account but you should be able to authorize you computer to both accounts.
    And, although you're not alone, you're certainly in a minority.
    Best of luck.

  • ITunes store: Purchasing from other stores

    I'd like to purchase video content from the iTunes store,however I am registered with the Belgian store, and I cannot purchase from any other store. Am I limited only to this, or is there a way I can shop from the USA store for example?
      Windows XP  
      Windows XP  

    Although this question has been covered quite often:
    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.

  • Family sharing is not allowing purchases from other parent phone

    Hi,
    My husband and I both have iphone 5S with IOS 8 on them. He has set up Family sharing as the organizer I am the Parent. His account has always been the main one we have purchased from. My question is that we thought with Family Sharing, once everything is set up I won't need to use his Master Password to still download material. After he approves the initial setup I can purchase using my ID (without a CC attached) and it will allow me to download content but bill his CC on file on his account. Is this true? If so then how come I keep being prompted on both itunes on my PC and my iphone for his master password? Is there a setting that isn't correct?
    Thanks

    Same issue.  Annoying.  I was looking forward to this feature more than any other in iOS 8.
    I was able to manually sync the applications from iTunes to the phone, but not via the phone only (the iCloud app store download).  I get that "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID" error "because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    One of the applications I was able to install successfully via iTunes wouldn't update either, so I logged out of my spouse's account to see what would happen when I tried to update it.  It just spun and spun and never updated.  I restarted the phone, tried again (with her ID) and it gave the error.  Logged out and into my account, and was able to update.
    If the error is caused by application developers not "allowing" Family Sharing, I'm afraid most old applications which aren't being updated anymore will never work.  Again, this sort of deflates the value of the "feature". 
    Either this is a poorly implemented feature with a lot of bugs, or Apple misled us into believing this feature was something that it isn't.

  • Can a US resident purchase from a non-US Music Store?

    When I (a US resident) attempt to purchase from the French or Italian Music Stores, I get the following message: "Your account is only valid for purchases in the US Music Store. Clicking OK will take you to this store."
    (1) Is there any way I can amend my account to permit purchases with a US-issued credit card from non-US iTunes music stores?
    (2) If not, please explain why, given that I can buy the same CD with the same credit card in France/Italy.
    Thanks.

    Not directed toward you, StarDeb55, but the explanation offered in the linked document is nonsense. None of the content that I want to buy from the French/Italian stores is offered in the US store; if it were available I'd have bought it already.
    What's more, I'm more than willing to pay 9,99 E for an album in the French store that, if it were offered in the US store, would customarily cost me only $9.99. Last time I looked 1 E = $1.19 or so.
    So, in other words, I'm being denied the opportunity to overpay for an album.
    Makes perfect sense to me.

  • 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 to buy songs in other countries' i tune stores?

    I currently have an account in the Canada itune store, but when I attempted to buy songs from the Japan store, the error -3237 popped up! Do I need to register the location as Japan to download from the Japan store?
    Any help will be very helpful!!! Thanks!

    This topic is literally asked & answered dozens of times a week in the forums. In order to purchase from another country, you will have to have a credit card with a billing address issued in that country. The other option is a gift card from that country but the billing address rule still applies. This is not Apple's fault, but rules the record companies require as they dislike cross-border sales.
    Just a suggestion since you're both new, it might be easier to try to "search" the forum, using several different terms to see if your question has been asked previously, that way you don't have to wait, hoping that someone comes along who can answer your question.
