Why can I not buy songs from iTunes Music Store?

Earlier this year I moved from the U.S.A. to Sweden... changing my 'Mac.com' account address while doing so.
Last week, I tried to purchase some songs from the iTunes Music Store with my American MasterCard (a debit card) which is listed with my Swedish address at my U.S. bank. As I had never purchased at the iTunes M.Store before I was instructed to 'review my account'... which I did. It had my present Sweden address and my Mastercard listed as method of payment. Upon submitting the form, it was rejected, saying that my MasterCard was 'invalid for Sweden'! So I then go to the Apple-Sweden Store and purchase an iTunes Music Card which I receive in the mail the following day. Now I follow the Apple advice posted for purchasing music by redeeming an iTunes Music Card without listing a credit card (http://www.apple.com/se/support/itunes/store/giftcard/#GCA)... except there is no selection for NONE as indicated in these instructions.... So once again when I submit the form it is rejected, meaning that this time I have already spent money for the iTunes Music Card that is now worthless to me!
Is there another way I can redeem this card without going through that 'review account' window...?
I don't care to set up another account by setting up another e-mail address just to do this... as I want all of the Apple business to go through my Mac.com account as it should be configured to do so!

O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
I don't know what happened but this is the results....
After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

    why can I not buy Outlander in iTunes? button is greyed out.
    I searched for the program, found it, but the buy button is totally unresponsive. Other some other programs work, others do not.

    Is this the film Outlander ? If it is then it's rated 15 here in the UK - do you have an age rating set in the Parental tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) that is protecting the buy button ?

    Are you in Italy with an Italian iTunes account ? If not then you won't be able to buy content from its store, you need to be in a country with a billing address and account in that country to be able to buy from it (content is licensed to Apple to sell on a country-by-country-basis). If there are particular songs that you'd like to buy then you can try requesting that they be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the record company's decisionas to whether they can be sold there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Editing songs from iTUnes Music Store

    Does anyone know why some MPEG4 protected AAC audio tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store are editable while others aren't?
    Since they are in the same format they should behave in the same way, I should think.
    Thanks in advance.

    The only protected iTMS purchases that I cannot edit part of the id3 tag is on the TV Shows. Other wise I can edit the tag as I chose. As to why one cannot edit the tag on certain parts I have not idea. I would imagiine that in some cases it is due to DRM.
    Not much of an answer. What part of the tag can you not edit? What kind of file is it?

  • Why can't I import songs from iTunes Home Sharing?

    I have two Macs - mine and my dad's. Both computers have Home Sharing on and we are using the same iTunes Account.
    We are able to see and play each other's music, but cannot import any songs.
    Where other people seem to see a Home Share icon (the house), we only have blue playlist symbols.
    Any ideas?

    Restart both of your computers, and restart your Internet modem. Then try again. It may just be a glitch.

  • Why can't I buy downloads from the US store? I am in the UK.

    I am in th UK and have bought an 80GB iPod on which I want to play videos while I travel.
    The UK video and TV content is almost non-existent. Jimmy Carr? Bloody Ricky Gervais? How utterly appaling. If there is amy more content, I cannot find it, and I find the iStore site difficult to use and impossible to find anything on.
    The US store is full of shows and movies I wish to download, but it say my account cannot buy from this store. Why is this?
    If this is a permanent state of affairs, you can have my iPod back and cancel my subscription. What regional rubbish in an international communications age.

    Blame the studios. I am sure Apple would like to allow cross country purchases. You want access to the American store, whereas I would like the Australian and British stores in addition to the American one.
