Should apps from the iPhone store work on an iPad in Germany?

I sent a Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar app to a friend in Germany.  She says she cannot open it on her iPad.  Is it that she is just not tech savy or is there some reason why she would not be able to access an app in Germany.

You cannot gift apps from one country to another country, if that is what you tried to do. If you had purchased the app in the German App Store, that should have worked, but if you bought the app in another country's store, that won't.
This applies to iTunes and App Store purchases.
When you purchase an iTunes Gift, you must have a valid credit card on file; you can't purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit. If you're using Family Sharing and Ask To Buy is enabled on your account, you can't purchase gifts. You can't redeem purchased gifts outside of the country of purchase. For example, an iTunes Gift purchased in France can't be redeemed in an iTunes Store outside of France. You can contact Apple Support to cancel an iTunes Gift up to two days before scheduled delivery.

    Each country's governement sets the rules for commerce in their nation - so things like copyright can limit foreign use, plus tax laws and such.  For any intellectual property (software, books, music, audio, video), it is mostly copyright restrictions that limit cross border retail sales.

    Apps from the iTunes store are only for ios based devices. ie iPad or iPhone

    There's iOS apps for iOS which is what iPods, iPads, and iPhones use.  Then there are Mac Apps (which is a different store) which is what run on a computer with OSX.

  • I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

    When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.

  • Can I download free apps from the iTunes store, without submitting a credit card number?

    I've tried to download free Apps from the iTunes store several times. It tells me to login, so I do. Then it says "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." When I click Review, then I click continue, I Agree to the terms and conditions, then it wants me to enter my credit card number! BUT ITS FREE!!!!!

    Hi..
    Try here >  Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card
    Apple verifies your account information with every transaction whether paid or free media.
    Select None ...
    FYI... the None option is not available in all countries.

  • If i buy an iphone from the iphone store will it already be set up to a carrier?

    If i buy an iphone from the iphone store will it already be set up to a carrier?
    So my mom knocked her iPhone 4 into the washer a while back and I was on her Verizon plan and switched to my boyfriends straight talk plan and got a Samsung Centra. So I called the Apple store and they said it'd only be $149 to fix it. And all I would do is bring it in and pay my money and they'd give me a brand new one. What service would it be hooked up to? Or would it be hooked up to one? And Would I need to buy a straight talk card and then set it up to his credit card or do i just call and set it up to his credit card and take money out or what?

    Under the out of warranty replacement program, you get an iPhone identical to the one you are replacing...same color, same storage capacity, locked to the same carrier if it is carrier specific.  You will have to activate it for use with Verizon just like it was done with the old iPhone.

  • After a trip to Brazil, the App Store apparently thinks my iPad 2 is still there. When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct.

When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct. I apparently need to switch locations manually, specifically for the App Store. Help?

    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.

  • I purchased my iPad in your London store on 20th May 2012, serial no. DM*******J8T. I have been purchasing apps from the London store,  without any problems.

    e-mail:         iTunes store uk

    subject:         iPad Problem
    Sirs,
    I purchased my iPad in your London store on 20th May 2012, serial no. DM*******J8T. I have been purchasing apps from the London store, without any problems. Last week, however, receiving a prompt that updates were available, I logged on hoping to update, which resulted in the following window:
    >Account not in this Store.
    Your account is not valid for use in the US Store.
    You must switch to the UK Store before purchasing.<
    I have done nothing to facilitate this change in stores and have  no way of knowing how to switch back to the UK store.
    This is a recent development, I have not had any problems connecting to the UK store before, in fact it happened automatically. Can the fact that I am not actually in the UK now but spend most of my time in Indonesia? This has not effected my purchases from the UK store before, however.
    Please help.
    Best regards,
    Maarten Timmer
