Reviews feature in the iTunes Store is not INTERNATIONAL?

Can anyone tell me why reviews for albums or podcasts are only shown in the country that that review was written in? Especially PODCASTS, which are globally or universally accessable, if you are set to a specific country, you can only see reviews written by people from that country. So why aren't the reviews from other countries listed? There may be many reviews posted, but since none were posted from your 'HOME' store, you don't see any! This is wierd, and doesn't help, if you want to see what other people think of an album or podcast, but your fellow countrymen have not reviewed that listing... I hope this will change soon!

Not only are the reviews not transferred between the different countries' iTunes store, the selection of music differs from store to store too!
Music is a language unto itself, that transcends boarders and cultures, except in iTunes!
This point is driven home each week when I get the weekly iTunes bulletin for both the Canadian AND United States iTunes store. I can browse both, but can only shop or WRITE reviews in my Home store. I guess the easy thing for APPLE to do would be to TURN OFF access to other countries stores, but the BIGGER thing to do would be to TEAR DOWN THE BOARDERS!

  • I've been using Ringtone Maker to add ringtones to my iPhone. The app is now telling me my music I bought from the iTunes store is not exportable. I downloaded a new app called Ringer and it says my song "has no audio tracks". What am I doing wrong?

    never mind.  i think it just makes you review the information -- it looks like you have to click through everything.

    How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable?  The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device.  I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

    When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

  • The search function in the itunes store does not work.  It will accept a request and suggest searches but then it locks up and will not search.  Clicking on the magnifying glass or a suggested search does nothing.  Re-installing itunes has not helped.

  • The iTunes store does not load when I open it

    So I recently had to install the latest version of iTunes after I upgraded to the newest version of iOS on my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.0.1) because the older iTunes version wasn't compatable with the newest iOS version. I had been using a much older version of iTunes becuase every time I would update the iTunes store without fail would stop working. I spent almost an entire day trying to fix it like 6-8 months ago and I finally got it to work with one of the older versions, which was why I was mad that I had to update it again.
    Anyways, the iTunes store will not load at all. Everytime I open up iTunes on my computer (I have Windows Vista) and I try to go to the iTunes store, it never loads. It keeps saying "Accessing iTunes Store" (see image). I have tried to wait it out, but nothing ever changes.
    I have already tried reinstalling iTunes and tried reinstalling the newest version, neither of which helped. I also tried what they suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123 but the only item that came up under the Winsock Providers tab was the Apple one.
    Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

    That's exactly like saying, "Hey, try this.  It didn't work either.  Good luck!"
    It's the high-percentage play with the particular symptom set being reported. High-percentage implies that it doesn't work for some people. (Otherwise it'd be a 100% play.) So, it still makes sense for people to try it, even if it doesn't work for some people, because it does work for most people. Check other posts by wiclee using that set of instructions to get a better feel for the reliability of the advice in these circumstances. (Granted, that's a bit tricky given that only about 10-20 percent of people report back to say whether or not any advice (on any given topic) actually works.)

  • Why is the payment for e.g. a song in the itunes store proceeding not at once but after indefinite time?

    Why is the payment for e.g. a song in the itunes store proceeding not at once but after indefinite time?

    If you are using your account's balance then the price of the song should be deducted from it immediately, if you are using a credit card then it may take a day or two for it to appear on your card's statement

  • I have itunes version 8.2 and would like to avoid downloading a newer version. The iTunes Store will not leave the page for iTunes 10. How do I fix this?

    The iTunes store will not leave the page for downloading iTunes 10. I just deleted iTunes 10 because of errors to purposely go back to version 8.2. Now I would like to keep 8.2 and not upgrade. How do I get this page to go away, or just keep 8.2? I would like to only have a version before 9.0. Please help!

    downloaded the updated iTunes and that did nothing. I then went through the form about $ very VERY carefully and discovered one field left blank. Once that was filled in, everything worked and I now have my free app.

  • My feeds are updating but the iTunes store has not updated

    I put my rss feed up on feedburner and all my feeds have updated but the iTunes store has not updated. I was wondering if there a simple explanation for it. Subscribers to the podcast have gotten the most recent update but the store hasn't reflected the new changes.

    When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
    However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several days.
    All this assumes that you haven't made an error of some sort in adding your episode: it's not possible to comment on that unless you would like to publish the URLs of both your feed and the Store page - this latter can be found by control-clicking on the podcast image (or where it should be) - and choosing 'Copy link'.  Please include the http:// in both cases to make the links clickable.

    The iTunes store will not load. What can I do?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    You have to sync your music to your iPad, this can be done from a WiFi connection to your iCloud account for those purchased from the iTunes store.  Non-iTunes music has to be synced using iTunes Match, a fee is charged for that premium service.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.
