GRRRRRRRR -
This is insane. My credit card is perfectly valid in UK!
Obviously we're STUPID for wanting to do such a thing.
No progress has been made on this issue in years!

  • Cannot purchase from the Australian iTunes Store while working overseas

    I'm an Australian currently working in Papua New Guinea. I tried to make a purchase on the iTunes Store (Windows) and it keeps asking me to verify my credit card Security Code which I did but it tells me "For assistance, please contact iTunes Support". Upon contacting Apple Support, I was told that I have violated the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions and was asked to read http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/sales.html. The two Apple Support representatives I have spoken with refused to tell me what part of the Terms and Conditions I have violated and basically told me to get lost in a polite way.
    Now, I find this unacceptable. Firstly, if Apple thinks I have done something wrong then it is Apple's responsibility to tell me what I have done wrong. Secondly, I find it unacceptable that as an Australian, I'm restricted from making purchases from the Australian iTunes Store even that I have a valid Australian billing address, a valid credit card that is issued from Australia.
    Is someone in the community able to clarify this?

    I can tell you:
    "The iTunes Service is available to you only in Australia, 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."

  • 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.

  • My computer is registered to purchase from the US store. How can I make a purchase from the Ireland iTunes store?

    How come I can buy foreign books through Amazon as e-book, but the same book can't be downloaded from iTunes? That doesn't makes sense.
    Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
    Amazon allows it, iTunes does not.  That is why.  Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public.  It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true.  Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
    With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.
    Sorry

  • Can i buy from the Canadian iTunes store while in America?

    I have a Canadian iTunes card and a Canadian iTunes account. I live in Canada, but I am travelling to the United States tomorrow. Will I be able to purchase from the Canadian iTunes store even though I'm in America???

    Yes. I am in the UK and when I travel to the US I can still buy from the UK store. It is where you are resident with a credit card registered not where you are physically.

  • I need to change from Japan App Store to Australia App Store. I get this every time I try using My MacID: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." What next TY. JohnCahill

    I moved from Japan to Australia. I need to change from Japan App Store to the Australian App Store. I get the following message every time I try using My MacID which was set up in Japan: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." At one point... by which path I do not remember... I was instructed to created a new ID. I fill out the new ID forms, but the address is rejected each time... quite confusing. Does it want a new name? But it says I cannot use an apple domain (tag?) even though I guess it has to be an apple address... ? So I have iTunes crdit cards purchansed in Australia, can't spend in AUstralian iTunes Store, get directed back to Japan each time, and can't open a new ID... What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.  John. Australia.

    You must have a separate Apple ID registered in the other store along with a valid bank-issued charge card in the other country, and a legal billing address in the other country.

  • Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store

    I am trying to download new version of iTunes from App store having purchased it on my laptop.  When I try to download on my iMac I get the following message:
    Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows:  iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store - and then I am asked if I want to buy it again. I don't understand the error message and I don't want to purchase the new version again.
    Also, since upgrading to Lion my videos (from Sanyo Xacti camera) do not play on iTunes. I can only open photos.
    Thank you.

    Make a back up of your Library. Now you can update without fear.

    I'd like to buy a song from the Australian iTunes store but when I try to purchase, it says I am only authorized to but from the US iTunes Store. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    You could check to see if there are any other stores that you can buy the song from. How about the artist's website? I've bought a couple of MP3s and even CDs from Australian artist's websites.

  • HT201303 I am trying to purchase an app from the Canadian itunes store.

    How do I go about downloading an app from the Canadian itunes store? can anyone help?

    You would have to be inside the borders of Canada AND have a credit card issued from Canada AND have a valid billing address in Canada.

  • HT1541 How do I recall a gift card purchased in the US itunes store and resend it to a Canadian itunes store?

    I purchased a gift card from the US itunes store, however the receipient of the card lives in Canda and says that he is unable to use the US Itunes gift card in the Canada Itunes store, how do I solve this problem?

    You cannot.
    A U.S card can only be used in the U.S.
    Maybe you can use the card and send money to canada.

    My I-Phone has music on it that was synced from an I-Tunes library from a previous computer (which is no longer in use) AND purchases from the I-Tunes store.  I would now like to transfer ALL of that music (not just the purchases from the I-Tunes store) into the I-Tunes library that I've established on a new computer.
    Can that be done, and how (I've attempted without any success)?
    Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!!

    Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.  They may let you redownload it at no cost.

    If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again.  Sorry.

  • Why can't I make a purchase in the American iTunes store?

    I am a Canadian resident who would like to make a purchase in the US ITunes store. I don't know anyone in the US nor do I have a credit card with an American billing address. Is there any possible way for me to make a purchase in the American store, or am I pretty much screwed? I buy lots of music and all I want to do is give the US Store my money-why is this so hard? This wouldn't be an issue if the Canadian store just had what I am looking for (i.e. TV Shows!) -why does the selection vary from country to country anyway?

    Again, It's not up to Apple. They would love to have every track available to everyone in the world. The record companies and other rights holder are different in every country, though, so they require separate negotiation by Apple for the rights in each country. And since the rights are held separately in different countries, they all restrict Apple (and every other legal download store) to selling only to users within that particular country.
    So again, Apple can do nothing to change this unless and until the record companies arrive at a cross-border sales agreement, something I don't see happening anytime in the foreseeable future, even within the EU.
