Why can't I access German TV shows from US iTunes account??

I am a German Expat living in the US & I want to buy German TV shows in the iTunes store. Mainly for my daughter whom I want to raise bilingual. Why can't I access German TV shows?? And if there is a way, how? I have a US billing address.
Arem't we in an international age now? This is very limiting.

There are a lot of great original German TV shows as well. Also, I would not mind my daughter watching her favorite US shows, such as Dora or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dubbed in German. Any way she deepens her German language skills is fine by me.
I also feel it's somewhat unfair (discriminatory even?) if hispanic immigrants have access to their language in the iTunes TV show section, but not other nationalities, only because there are less Germans here (for example). Come to think of it, it's a great way to learn any forreign language for US students, if they were able to easily download foreign TV content...
The one big advantage of digital downloads of TV and movies, in my eyes, would be the "accross the border" ease of access. I sure hope the powers that be will become more aware of this and fix this issue. At least a "selection" of the most popular, original TV shows could be available.

  • Why can't i access my iPhoto library from my epson application

    why can't I access my iphoto library fron my epson aplication

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Why Can't I Access My Leopard Shares from Vista

    I can access my Vista shares from Leopard via Go->Connect To Server (although they don't automatically just appear in Finder as they did in Tiger). In Vista, I can see my MBPro, but when I click on it there's a long wait followed by a Network Error, saying Vista can't access my Mac and telling me the network path was not found. I don't get even get a Login dialog box into which to enter my username and password. My MBPro is connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme network, while the PC is connected via cable into the back of the AE.
    Yes, I've turned on File Sharing.
    Yes, I've made sure that the Workgroup is the same both in Leopard and Vista.
    Yes, I've created a new NETBios name for my MBPro and can confirm that Vista sees my Mac by the new name.
    Yes, I've made sure that SMB file sharing (and only SMB) is enabled.
    Yes, I've made sure that my username and passwords are identical in both Leopard and Vista.
    Yes, I've created an entirely new Network location.
    Yes, I've made sure "Read & Write" are enabled.
    Yes, I've set my Mac firewall to allow all incoming connections and made sure my Windows firewall is turned off.
    Yes, I spent 45 minutes on a call with a very helpful and patient Apple tech support rep who wasn't able to solve the problem.
    Can anyone offer any other advice?
    Thanks.

    There is a bit of work you need to do on Vista because of Vista's authentication model:
    To enable Windows Vista to connect to Mac OS X with Windows File Sharing enabled, you will need to change the following policy in Windows Vista:
    Start>Run>secpol.msc [enter]
    Click on "Local Policies" --> "Security Options"
    Navigate to the policy "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and double-click it to get its Properties. By default Windows Vista sets the policy to "NTVLM2 responses only". Use the drop-down arrow to change this to "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".
    In Vista Home Premium, you won't have this tool so:
    1. Run the registry editor elevated and open this key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    1. If it doesn't already exist, create a DWORD value named
    LmCompatibilityLevel
    3. Set the value to 1
    4. Reboot
    If you are using a third-party firewall on Vista, uninstall it; don't just turn it off. If you are using Vista's built-in firewall (which is adequate for most people), you don't need to turn it off - just configure it for file/printer sharing. Make sure Vista thinks your LAN is Private and not Public.

  • Why can't I buy a apple device with my iTunes account money?

    Why can't I buy something like the new iPod touch with my iTunes money. I don't get why because they are from the same company. This is puzzling so I need some help if anyone can give me and answer that would be great.

    Because the itunes store, where you have credit, does not sell ipods.
    Whether you understand it or not, you CANNOT use your itunes gift card for Apple Store Purchases.
    It is ONLY for itunes store purchases.

  • Apple TV won't load/play TV shows from my iTunes account

    When I try to play TV shows and movies from my iTunes library, my Apple TV won't play them. It'll just continuously think about doing it, and on the time taskbar at the bottom it shows that it's slowly loading the video, but it won't physically play any of the content (and I've left it running for a good 15 - 20 minutes). I've tried playing different shows and episodes, and it's the same result. It will play songs from my library, however if I try to physically control what it plays through my laptop (by making the speakers Apple TV) the sound will cut out after eight or nine seconds of playing and refuse to play it after that point.
    I've tried unplugging the Apple TV several times, restarting my iTunes, and nothing seems to be working. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Or even what's causing it?

    I'm having this same problem suddenly as of 2 or 3 days ago, around the same time as you. The spinny animation appear for a few second, with the scrubbar, then it bails out to "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later."  My network has had no configuration changes in a while. My AppleTV2 and my MacBook Pro [10.7.2] have also not seen configuration changes in some time. Makes me wonder if ATV, or iTunes, has had an update that broke things.
    I've played my iTunes movies over the network fine since I bought the AppleTV over a year ago. 720p, 1080p, etc., have all played fine.  Now, those exact same movies are not playing.  I've tried:
    Changing Wi-Fi Channels.
    Upgrading firmware in Airport Express. That's the WAP the MacBook is connected to. ATV is connected directly over wired Ethernet. It was a Minor Version behind, and did upgrade successfully.
    Power-cycling everything. MBP, router/modem, Ethernet switches, ATV, and the external 1TB firewire drive my iTunes library is on.
    Verifying that Internet-based movies play in ATV. They do. Netflix, etc., all play fine.
    Plugging the MacBook Pro directly into wired Ethernet. Wi-fi completely out of the picture. I verified Internet and LAN connectivity was good, but still, ATV won't play anything.
    Ensuring ATVs firmware and OS were latest.
    Ensuring MacBook Pro's OS was latest.
    Verifying that I can play those movies directly from the external drive, by way of Finder.
    Ug.

    When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually.  This is frustrating because I cannot add to those albums from mobile device, I have to add to them during a Mac sync.  I would like to be able to use my iCloud albums to organize my photos but if I cannot access them from apps it seems pointless.  I will end up having to maintain both an iCloud library and a separate iPhoto library which is more work that seems necessary.  I want everything easy to organize and access.  It seems like in this age where most people are more likely to use their mobile devices than their Macs (and some do not even own Macs) that there should be a mobile solution.  Hopefully I am simply without a clue and you folks can help me out with a fix or a source of info as a solution.  I have not found answers yet.

  • Why can't I access my pre order from iTunes when the album has been released?

    Pre ordered the new Jay Z album from my iPhone 4S and have been FULLY charged for the album. Each song is showing "purchased" in grey. What's the deal with this? iTunes WILL allow me to purchase the album again, and I'm positive they'll take my money again.

    I'm having the same issue. Support claims it's my computer to which I have downloaded 439 songs to already. Oddly enough I still can't download a previous preorder even though I am able to download FREE songs and podcast without issues. I asked them to cancel the order and they stopped contacting me with either a yay or a nay. It's not like they have to refund me or anything as they haven't drafted any monies yet. I guess I will have to chock this up as a loss and no longer purchase through iTunes anymore. Amazon is cheaper most of the time anyway. No back ups needed there. Peace.

  • Why can't I access my gmail contacts from gmail app whilst on gmail; subtext: why do I need to sync with iTunes to access my contacts?

    Why?

    You don't. I don't sync my Gmail contacts through iTunes. The Mail app accesses them just fine. You just have to set up the Gmail account as an Exchange Account. The instructions are available in Google's help documents.

  • Why can't I access my mac pro from other computers

    I can't seem to access files from my Mac Pro from other computers on our network.  It asks for a username and password, which it says is always incorrect.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  We have two main workstations that need to access a single Fire Wire 800 DRobo array that's connected to the Mac Pro tower.
    Thanks!

    File Sharing must be enabled on the Mac Pro. in System Preferences > Sharing
    System Preferences > Accounts > Guest account must be present and must allow File Sharing, but need not allow guest login.
    Although the login pane appears on the screen of the second computer, the login it is asking for is an account and password that is valid on the Mac Pro (the computer whose files you want to share). The number of bullets in the password field is fixed -- it has no idea how long the password is. Passwords are case sensitive.

  • Why can't I access any Add-ons from the Add-on site?

    When I go to the Add-ons page, the add-ons turn from bright and ready to access to a greyed out...foggy like appearance in a second. And when I click one and try to install it anyway I get this message, "
    To install this add-on and thousands more, get Firefox, a free and open web browser from Mozilla.
    Learn more about Firefox
    or download anyway"
    When I click the "download anyway" (since I just up-graded to Firefox 37.0 an hour earlier and have been using it all that time), I get this message, "The download could not be downloaded because of a connection failure on add-ons.Mozilla.org"
    This happens with ALL the add-ons in the Add-on site. Not some..ALL.
    It has been doing this for months.
    After searching site after site...including Mozilla, the very few suggestions I have read regarding this seem to suggest the reader is somehow either sub-moronic or is an I.T whiz and will understand two pages of raw code.
    I am neither!
    Don't need the why...
    Just need a simple step by step...how do I fix it. Please.
    While you're at it fix the Yahoo toolbar. Please.

  • Why can't I access Facebook through Firefox? It says Account Temporarily Unavailable. It worked yesterday.

    I can't access Facebook with Firefox. It worked yesterday and has worked in the past several years. It won't even come up to the log in page. Just says Account Temporarily Unavailable. Try again in a few minutes. It has been that way for the last 4 hours. I know Facebook is not down as my husband can get in.

    What is the add-on that's keeping you from installing Firefox 14?

  • Why can't I access the iBooks store from my iPad?

    The Store link in my iStore app is greyed out. No such problem on my iPhone5..

    I had the same problem and just solved it. If you have Restrictions Disabled OFF for iBookstore in your settings, that's going to block access to the Store. How to check that?
    Settings -> General -> Restrictions -> iBookstore. If OFF is selected, switch it to ON. Voila! :)
    Note that you might have to enter a passcode if -you created one -once you click on "Restrictions".
