Purchasing music from South AFrica

Hi, Trying to purchase music thru' itunes, but when inputing my credit card details and asked to choose a country, South Africa is not listed. can anyone help?
thanks,

Richard, unfortunately there's nothing anyone can do.
South Africa doesn't have it's own store & the only
way you can purchase from another country's store is
to have a credit card with a billing address in that
country.
This is kind of stupid. I mean, I don't mind buying from the American or UK stores, but not being able to buy at all is a major bad idea. Apple not only misses out on potential customers, but also makes my and other's like me experience with iPod and iTunes less than it should and could be.
I mean what? Just because I'm Romanian or that guy is from South Africa, we are not allowed to use the iPod we've purchased and iTunes at their full potential. Just adding other countries as an option to the address information for a Music Store account doesn't seem like such a big deal.

    I had the same issue this morning downloading a pre-order of Alanis, Flavors of Entanglement . I noticed that the only thing that had changed fro me was that I had some song credits for purchasing ticketmaster tickets over the past few weeks. When I went ahead and spent my remaining credits... it downloaded with no prompting or trouble. Maybe the credits issues hangs it up?

    You are correct, I did a little digging as well.

  • Im from South Africa and i can only purchase limited games

    Im from South Africa and i cannot purchase games from the UK or any country.
    The games for South Africa are limited and *****, i like to purches simulation games like air to air combat and games like Grand Torismo
    please assist my  e mail <Edited by Host>.

    "Im from South Africa and i cannot purchase games from the UK or any country."
    That is correct.
    You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
    There is nothing to be done.
    If the itunes store of your country does not sell them, then you cannot buy them.
    Sorry.

  • HT2731 How do I create an iStore USA account from South Africa. Is it possible using a South African credit card.

    How do I create a USA iStore account from South Africa. Is it possible with a South African credit card.

    Hi ...
    Afraid not ...
    Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

  • I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.

    I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.
    I have backed up the iphone onto my newly installed version of itunes.
    All the purchased albums/songs have been tranferred.
    I tried to tranfer by ticking the sync box but its says it will wipe the iphone and replace it with the new library which has only a fraction of my 1000+ songs.
    I have read many reviews that say it can be done with a third party program but when I looked into this they offer free evaluation but want about £20 for the program but feel this can be done at no cost.
    The itunes is saying my iphone can only be synced to one PC but the original one is wiped.
    Am I right in thinking I should go ahead with syncing the iphone then do the restore. Im just worried that once its synced the music and photos/videos will be gone forever.
    If I go down this route, I think I still need to know how to tranfer the non purchased songs from my iphone back onto the PC with the newly reinstalled itunes.

    Then you will have to purchase 3rd party  software.

    No. You will lose the music that's on the phone if you do that.
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Restore the music to your computer using the backup you should have made of your data before you re-formatted it. If you didn't back up your computer, you will have to pay for software to try and extract it from the phone.

  • Purchased music from multiple itunes accounts on the same computer

    I mistakenly opened up two itune accounts and have purchased music using both accounts. The problem is that itunes won't let me download my purchased music from one of the accounts to my ipod. It will download all of the music from account "a" but none from account "b". Help please.

    Hey chawk32,
    Just play the purchased content from account B in iTunes. That should make a authorization dialog box pop up. After authorizing the computer iTunes can transfer that data to the iPod.
    You can also click store inside iTunes then authorize computer.

  • How do I set up my iphone 5 so I can access my family account? I purchased music from itunes using my apple id, and those songs do not appear in our family cloud.

    How do I set up my iphone 5 so that I can access my family account? Recently I purchased music from itunes using my apple id, and now I cannot find those songs in our cloud. I wanted to add those songs to my ipod. Do I have to buy them again using my husband's apple id?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
    Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
    if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.

  • HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

    My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

    In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

  • How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

    Can anyone tell me how to transfer purchased music from iTunes to my iPod without first downloading to a CD?

    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (4.6), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    Get the latest updates here.
    If you have done all this and still can't transfer it, post back with more info about what is happening.
    EDIT.
    Grrrr......must learn to type faster!
