Sorry, but you can't. There is no iTunes Music Store for Mexico, and the the record companies do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Music Store you wish to use.
So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Music Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
b) a mailing address for your residence in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
This, again, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.
Regards.

    You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

  • Why can I not buy Outlander in iTunes? button is greyed out.

    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 ?

  • Why can't I buy a tv show on itunes???

    why can't I buy a tv show on itunes? when I click on buy it takes me to verify my billing info and when I do it asks me to enter my password for the thirth time and it will take me back to checking my billing info over and over and over.... it doesn't tell me that I am entering any info wrong. neither I am.

    No idea, absent some idea of what exactly you were doing to "get a tv show ..... on my iPad".
    The procedures described in your User's Guide will work for most. Have you tried them?

  • Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

    Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

    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'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.

  • Why can't I buy all the current top 40 USA country songs on itunes in the UK when they're on the USA itunes

    Why can't I buy all the top 40 USA country songs on the UK version of Itunes when they're available on the US version.   

    Because the record companies haven't granted Apple license to sell them here - you can try leaving feedback for Apple that they be added to the UK store, but unless the record companies agree then Aple can't sell them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Are they available on other music purchase sites that you have access to e.g. Amazon, HMV etc ?

  • Why can't I buy a movie that I pre-ordered, with the iTunes card already redeemed?

    See, I bought an iTunes card the other day and redeemed it that same day. After doing so, I pre-ordered a movie that was expected to be released on the 18th of March(today). So I tried to purchase the movie I pre-ordered with the credit I redeemed from the iTunes card, but it is asking for my billing information. So I clicked on the link where it says "To redeem code, click here", and it asked me to enter a code. My concern is why can't I buy that movie I pre-ordered with I the money I have in my iTunes account?

    You didn't purchase the movie, you pre-ordered it. So the code works to put in the pre-order for the movie. So it's on hold, so to speak. Then when the movie comes out (and only then) are you actually billed, so you have to enter the code again in case you or someone else who has access to your computer used some -- perhaps too much of the credit in the meantime.
    If I use a regular credit card and pre-order something, oftentimes there is some kind of perk or extra included along with it for me in return for pre-ordering. Like an extra feature for example. I don't actually get billed until I actually get the movie and so it's kinda like that.
    Did you lose the code?
    If you did, I'm sorry, but you could call Apple & hopefully they will make things right.

  • Why can't I use my ITunes gift card to buy gems on clash of clans

    Why can't I buy gems on clash of clans with my iTunes gift card that I recently bought

    This is incorrect.
    A. ITUNES STORE, MAC APP STORE, APP STORE, AND IBOOKSTORE TERMS OF SALE
    PAYMENTS, TAXES, AND REFUND POLICY
    The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances. If a credit card or your PayPal account is being used for a transaction, Apple may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing occurs at the time of or shortly after your transaction. If you are using 1-Click purchasing or your PayPal account, your order may be authorized and billed in increments during one purchasing session, so it may appear as multiple orders on your statement. If an iTunes Card, iTunes Store Gift Certificate, or Allowance Account is used for a transaction, the amount is deducted at the time of your transaction. When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
