Purchasing songs from foreign iTunes stores

How do I purchase a song available from the iTunes UK store? I get a message that states I can only purchase songs from the USA store. I really want Kid Rock's new song, "All Summer Long" and it's not available at the US iTunes store.

In order to purchase a song from the U.K. Store, you would need 1)a valid U.K address and 2) a credit card billed to that address or a gift card purchase in the U.K. Sorry.

Purchasing Music From Foreign iTunes Stores

I had just recently discovered the option of "My Store" at the very bottom of iTunes which enables customers to view other iTunes stores all over the globe. When trying to purchase music from the Österreich iTunes store, I found I wasn't able to do so. I received an error message, as shown above, stating that I was only valid for purchases within the US iTunes store. My question is simple: Why are US iTunes customers not allowed to purchase items from foreign iTunes stores? I do know that you must register to one country in order to begin your iTunes experience (when you first download the program) but does that choice of a country really limit you to your range of music? Is this due to various licensing laws or problems with converting currency? Also, if customers are not allowed to purchase items from foreign stores, why are they allowed the option to view these stores? Answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Yes, it's all about copyright and licensing. Currency conversion isn't at issue. In order to purchase music from a particular store, you have to have 1) a valid billing address in the country and 2) a credit card billed to that address or purchase gift cards in that country. It is quite possible that one person could have valid residence and billing information for more than one country. My parents, for a long time, maintained residences in both the U.S. and Canada, so if the iTunes Store had been available, they could have had two accounts, one U.S. and one Canadian.
Yes, it seems at odds with our global economy but intellectual property law has really caught up to the twentieth century yet.

Itunes does not download all purchased songs from the Itunes Store

A few weeks ago, I purchased the latest CD of Lionel Richie from the Itunes Store, but only 4 songs were downloaded. Now every time I try to download the rest CD by either checking for purchases in the Itunes menu or trying to buy the CD again, it tells me the Itunes Store is temporarily unavailable...
Anyone knows how to solve this??

I had a similar problem with a Jimmy Buffett album,I sent the iTunes store an e-mail described the problem including the album title and receipt number and within 24 hours they responded and had done a "reset" and problem solved.
Give it a try

Purchasing songs from other Itunes Stores

The selection of International music at the US Itunes Store is very limited, to put it politely.
While I can access, view, and listen to, all songs that are available at overseas Itune Stores, (such as Itunes in France); I cannot purchase them even though their price is shown in US currency (99 cents) and not in Euros.
Does anyone know how to purchase and download songs from these other Itune stores, or to contact a real live person at Itunes for help in doing so?

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.

Major problem.. I need to transfer the music from my ipod to my computer. but it seems that iTunes will only let transfer purchased songs from the itunes store?? :S

I dont have my cds anymore as they were stolen from my car so the only thing that has my music on it is my ipod. I dont have it backed up at all
I've tried to tranfer it back onto the computer via itunes importing but it will only import purchased songs i got from itunes store.

I purchased a song from the itunes store and down loaded it to my ipod. The song will not play. I attempted to listen to it on my computer and itunes asked me to authorize my computer. I did so and it told me I authorized one out of five computers .

I purchased a song from the itunes store and downloaded it to my ipod and it will not play what happens now?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Reset Warnings. Then sync again and you should get a warning listing the problem files.

I recently downloaded an album from Amazon (a gift) directly to iTunes. I also recently pruchased a song from the iTunes store. In both cases, the songs in the album appear in a lighter print on my iPod and won't play when selected. Will play on comput

I recently downloaded an album (a gift) from Amazon, one option of which is to download directly to my iTunes library (which is what I did). I also purchased a song from the iTunes store shortly after this. In both cases, the music shows up on my iPod touch in a lighter print than the other music on my iPod. When I select it nothing happens. I only plug into the computer a couple of times a month, but I perform all updates as are indicated and I synch my iPod. Note that when I have iTunes up on my computer, the music WILL play directly from the library, just not on the iPod. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello zayasva
I would delete the songs and download them again, or plug it into iTunes to resync them back on.

If this is an Alienware system, the most likely culprit is the Bigfoot Networks LSP as per the following document:

Head to the Downloads and Drivers page at Dell for your particular model of Alienware. Look for available updates for your BigFoot networking device. If you update those drivers, does that give you back your Store access?

ITunes no longer fetches album art from foreign iTunes stores?!

I have been having some trouble getting art for music available in other iTunes stores for a few days now. I can't get art for a few of my imported CDs. I even tried out clearing album artwork from an album I already for which I already had artwork and got the little "no artwork available" message when I tried to re-download its cover art.
I emailed support and got this reply, from "Laura":
+Unfortunately, if the content you are importing into iTunes is not on the iTunes Store that your account country is from, iTunes will not recognize it and you wont be able to grab the album artwork from another country.+
This is news to me! When did this change occur, or is "Laura" just mistaken? I seriously hope it's just a bug. I've been getting artwork from foreign iTunes stores since iTunes 7 first came out in 2006... why ruin a good thing now??

I believe this is the case as iTunes no longer recognizes "Province" by TV on the Radio as having artwork, when it's clearly available in the UK store.
It's especially distressing when I purchase actual CDs from other countries specifically because they are not available in the US. Why is the artwork "region locked" is beyond me, but that's generally what happens when you play by their rules.
I suppose the only work around is to scan the artwork yourself or pull it from another site.

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.

Are you following these instructions?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Where is the lock icon on the screen?
