Why am I restricted to the Danish store ?

Hi
I just activated my iTunes account because I wanted to start buying and downloading music.
But unfortunately I live in Denmark, which means that my billing adress is Denmark, which means that iTunes tells me that I can't buy music from the US store.
I wanted to buy the new Randy Newman song A Few Words in Defense of My Country - but of course I can't buy that in the Danish store because most Danes don't know Randy Newman from Adam. However iTunes won't let me buy the song via the US Store because my billing adress is in Denmark. The song is on sale all right - oh but not for us foreigners.
This ***** big time. Until now I have bought CDs via Amazon and my credit card has always been good enough that I could buy US music even though I live in Denmark.
So my question is: When will iTunes be able to offer the same service that Amazon that been offering for years - when can a Dane buy American music via iTunes ?

Hi Mike Johnson
You are probably right. That IS the reason. But then there's no point in my using iTunes, because I am interesting in American music and I want to buy American music - and in the Danish iTunes I can only buy the American music that the rest of the Danes like.
This is really disappointment for me. I thought Itunes was the modern way to buy music when in fact it is more restrictive than buying CDs.
I appreciate that it's not down to Apple - but I sure hope that they come up with answers when more people realize that the legalities confine them from using the technology to the fullest extent.

  • Why can't I see the iTunes store on my iPhone 5c?

    Why can't I see the iTunes store on my iPhone 5c?

    Well then it is somewhere on one of your Home pages or in a Folder:
    Do a spotlight search to see if it accidently got moved into a Folder: Swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the Spotlight search and type in iTunes. If it is in a folder, the folder name will show up to the right.
    If it is not in a folder, but shows up on the Spotlight search, then you need to look at each Home screen to see if you can find where it got moved to.
    Finally, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout, which will reorganize all of your icons so that the original Apple core apps are on the first Home screen as they were originally. Of course, if you have a lot of app icons that you have set up on specific Home screens you would have to move them all back to where you wanted them. But that should put the iTunes icon back on the first Home screen.

  • Why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8

    why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8
    Just purchased OS X Mountain Lion but in order to down load I have to have the App Store App on my Mac. Please help.

    10.6.6 was the 1st to support the App Store, 10.6.8 is actually needed now as a minimum.
    Install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download available now without specially calling Apple).
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273
    Other countries...

    why I cannot conect to the iTunes store with this iPad?
    when  I want to download something, always show me " cannot connect to the intues store ? What I can do now ?

    Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.
    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

    why is downloading movies from the itunes store so slow?

    Hi there
    Many users seem to be experiencing this issue around the world (see thread  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16981332#16981332) - my iTunes dowload last night showed 7 hours ETA for a 45 minute tv show.  this morning I rebooted it and tried again, it is now taking 2 hours.  An improvement in theory but still terrible.  I don't know if it is internet connection but everything else I do on the internet seems to be running at normal pace.....
    Not much help sorry but at least you can see you are not alone

  • Why do I keep losing the Apps Store icon from my Home Screen?

    It seems that after almost every sync I lose the Apps Store icon. I have to set up as a new iPhone then load all my data again.
    Why would the Apps Store icon just disappear? It's not like I deleted it as I would with an unused/unwanted app.
    Running all the latest updates. Not jailbroken and never has been.
    Puzzling . . .
    Ian

    Has it simply been moved to another home screen? Flick across the home screen to cycle through them. The only other way for it to disappear is if you have toggled off in Restrictions (Settings > General > Restrictions). If it's not turned off in Restrictions, it must be on one of the home screens, there's no way to remove any of the Apple-provided apps. To get it back to the front home screen, tap-and-hold on any icon, then when they all start to wiggle, drag it where you want it.
    Hope this helps...

  • Why is my app in the app store is all need to purchase with visa and such other things? As a example i wanted to update the clash of clan apps, but it keep saying that i have to do a billing thing. Please help me.

    Im currently new to this iphone. Im using iphone 5s with a version iOS 7.1.1. My problem is what is wrong with my app store? It keep telling me to update my billing method. Was all apps in the app store is need to be purchase. Such as i wanted to update my clash of clan game. It keep telling me to fill in my billing method. I already fill in the billing method, but it say that "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update you payment method. " i don't know why he keep telling me this even though in my visa card got money. Please help me with this problem

    This is incorrect. "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update you payment method. " means you have made a purchase and iTunes/Apple hasn't received the finds for it yet. hence the "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update you payment method. ". This means you would need to either use an iTunes gift card to pay it off or another debit or credit card that is currently on the account.

  • Why does my password for the app store work for updates but not for new purchases

    Very frustrated. I've been trying to download Evernote for days now and it keeps telling me my password is incorrect. I use the same password to update apps on my phone and it works fine.
    Using the 4S
    Any ideas why?
    Thanks
    Michael

    Solved. Talked to support and went into settings/store and signed out. Powered down and restarted and logged back in through settings/store and the app store then recognized my password.

  • Why can't I get the itunes store to open?

    Why won't the itunes store open?  It appears briefly, then the screen goes white. I can still access my music, see my gift card balance, and play my music.  I just can't buy anything new, and it's making me CRAZY.  I've tried everything...please HELP!?!?!?!

    Hi aK'
    Nice, memorable user name!
    -1712 is a timed out error. One reported cause (with other applications) is that the application is attempting to open a large number of files, or a file that no longer exists.
    Try holding down the shift key when launching preview. This prevents the application from attempting to open windows that were not closed before quitting the application.
