Purchasing from the US Online Store

Can i buy something from the US Online Store for a friend living in the US using my (foreign) cypriot visa card and have the item shipped to his US adrress?

Unfortunately no, that cannot be done.
You can only make purchases in the store for the country where you live and to do so you must have a bank card in that same country with a verufyable billing address for the card in that same country.
There are no provisions currently for doing these purchases across international boundaries.
UPDATE -
In rereading your question I may have misunderstood you. I gave an answer for the iTunes/Mac App Stores, but now believe that you were actually asking about the Apple store at store.apple.com. I don't have experience with that, but I believe that it is basically the same. I don't believe that the US store will accept your Cypriot bank card (with your Cypriot billing address) as a form of payment.
Give it a try, the most that can happen is that the system rejects your bank card.

    I receive the parcel that apple sent today, but i found that Apple send the iphone from Singapore, but i'm purchasing from malaysia apple online store, How about the warranty? is that warranty available in malaysia?? or singapore ?

    Singapore is the AFE distribution centre for Apple , in the same way all online purchases from Apple in Europe ship from Ireland the European Distribution centre
    As Templeton has indicated the location you buy from is the only relevant information for warranty

  • Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

    Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

    You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
    These are the terms of the itunes store.

  • How do I remove my credit card information from the Apple Online Store? Not iTunes store, the online site.

    I'm trying to remove my CC information from the Apple Online Store, but it won't let me erase it. When I look for a way online, I only find information on how to erase it from the iTunes Store. Maybe the answer is right in front of me but I'm not seeing it, but some help would be much appreciated.

    Hello Spennetrator94,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning payment information. Removing the payment information from your Apple ID will remove the data from the various stores.
    Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

    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.

    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.

  • HT201272 When a song is purchased from the I-Tunes store, is it essentially "recorded" onto your i-pod, or only "rented" when you are able to access wi-fi and the I-tunes app?

    When a song is purchased from the I-tunes store (and we used a gift card to do so), is it "recorded" to your device (an i-pod, in this case) and you own that copy, or is it just "rented" for your listening when you are able to access the I-tunes app (and therefore need wi-fi).???

    I thought the same thing, however, our son did not have access to Wi-Fi in the car earlier and said that he could not listen to his song because he couldn't access the I-Tunes Store--? Then once we were in a location with Wi-Fi again and he could get to it, he was able to listen to the song...? We are new to all this and not sure that we "did it right" in the first place.  Thanks for your help!

  • If I buy a new iPad4 from the apple online store will it ship with ios6?

    If I buy a new iPad4 from the apple online store will it ship with ios6?
    I let a so called "friend" borrow my iPad and the **** went an updated the OS to ios7.
    Dispite restoring from a backup on my computer ios7 remains, rendering it usless for work.
    If I buy a new iPad from the Apple Online Store will it certainly ship with ios6?
    No guesses please.
    Many thanks.

    I don't believe there is any correlation between the serial number and the version of iOS, but the sales person may be able to tell you when the unit was received into their stock. If it was before September 18th, it certainly should have iOS 6.
