Switching Stores for French/English Media

I am bi-lingual French/English and would like to buy media - mostly movies in French. However, when I change to the store in France that has what I want, I can't buy it. iTunes sends me back to the US Store that does not have what I want in French.
Please help me to solve this problem....do I need to have two separate accounts (that would be annoying) and/or how can I use the account for English/French Media?

You must have a credit card issued from a French bank & an attached French billing address in order to buy from the French store. This is required by the copyright holders for content to buy from any country's iTunes store, not Apple.

Apple store switched my account from the French to the American location, where I am now. Whenever I want to download an app, it says that I must switch to the French store before purchasing. Does any one know how to do that? Thank you for your help

Hey everyone,
I moved from France to the US, and when ever I want to download new apps, it says: you must switch to your French account before purchasing. Does anyone know how to do that?

I live in Iran
Yesterday I wanted to use iTunes store for windows ; when i have open iTunes it gives me the error 0x80090318 .
I have search the web alot and i have check lots of Iranian and English website but have not find any solution for
this problem . Today I have find a software called "Hide my IP" i have opened up that
when this software was opened , itunes have said "iTunes can't verify the identify of the server "init.itunes.apple.com"".
then i have click on "continue" then iTunes said "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (310)."
And theres a matter that i think that have a connection with this topic and thats , that when i want to go to the lots
of websites like Google Yahoo! Mail and lots of other website my both browser ( FireFox and IE ) will say" This connection is untrusted " .
I think the solution of my second problem is the solution of my first problem too !

Tried all the rest on this site did not work for me
Follow the link below & this one sorted it for me, it was a conflict in programs using Winsock & I got rid of my old program,
Sorted.

The App Store said I needed to switch countries so I clicked the button and it switched it for me but now I can't update my apps but when I try to change it through settings it still says the country is the u.s. I don't know what to do to change it back

I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?

HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

I am volunteering in Haiti, when I try to update apps, says I am in the Vietnamese store. I went to settings for my apple id, which still list USA? How do I switch stores?

I am volunteering in Haiti, when I try to update apps, says I am in the Vietnamese store. I went to settings for my apple id, which still list USA? How do I switch stores, when it appears I am in the US store?

If you have Location Services turned on turn this off, then follow steps below:
Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Your_Apple_ID>View Apple ID
When you tap your Apple ID and select View Apple ID you'll need to enter your password, once done you can change the Apple Store.

My app store is running in German how do I switch it back to English?

My app store is running in German how do I switch it back to English?

If your iTunes account is based in Germany then the App Store and iTunes store will be in German - they pick up the language of your account's country, and that can't be changed. If your account is not based in Germany then try logging out of it by tapping on it in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if the stores correct themselves.

Help !!! - Search using english base alphabet for French diacritic/accent

Hello -
I am searching using wild card in Oracle 9i database, as follows -
select * from test
where Upper(name) like 'A%'.
It returns all the names upper and lower beginning with 'A'.
We do have french data and few of the names begin with Ã,Ã and Ã .
In order to fetch all of the rows based on the base letter ,ignoring diacritic in the above same query,
I have tried couple of settings as follows before executing the query -
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT='FRENCH';
Or
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP=ANSI;
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=GENERIC_BASELETTER;
It didnot work. After reading the documentation, I have tried the query, for equality (=) search with some test data and seems to be working...
So my guess is these settings are only useful if you have same exact name(data) for french as well english. Wildcard search '%' 'like' cases donot work.
It would be really great if someone knows work-around for the query I have mentioned -
select * from test
where Upper(name) like 'A%'.
to do get all the rows based on generic base letter ignoring those accents/diacritic.
Or is there any other way we can implement this.
I need to implement the generic solution for all english alphabets search in our application.
ANY HELP would be REALLY APPRECIATED....
Thank you so much....
Rama...

Hi Rama,
For all current versions of the Oracle database, NLS_COMP=ANSI affects the following SQL operators only:
WHERE =,WHERE >,WHERE <, START WITH, IN/OUT, BETWEEN, CASE WHEN, HAVING, ORDER BY.
All other operators, such as LIKE, perform comparisons in binary mode only. They do not honor the NLS_SORT value. I hope that explains why you are seeing the behaviour that you described.
This will be enhanced in 10gR2, where all SQL functions and operators will be able to honor the NLS_SORT value.
You may be able to use the workaround below, if all your LIKE operations place the '%' at the end.
e.g.
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=GENERIC_BASELETTER;
SELECT * FROM test
WHERE NLSSORT (name,1,1) = NLSSORT('A');
name
Ãlex
andrew
Ace
Ã lan
Good luck!

HT204053 I would like to have one apple ID and sign in for the Australian Apple Store and for the New Zealand Apple Store without it asking me to switch stores. Is this possible?

I would like to have one apple ID and sign in for the Australian Apple Store and for the New Zealand Apple Store without it asking me to switch stores. Is this possible? If not can I setup two stores (one in each country) using the same email address and same password (both and / or either)?

An iTunes account can only be used in one store at a time, and you need to be in that country with a valid billing address on your account for that country in order to use it there. An email address can only be linked to one account, so if you want two separate iTunes accounts then you will need two email addresses

These features are most likely result of faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.
