Why Can't I buy music from other country's music store?

There are albums I want to buy (in Spain's music store, in particular) but I can't. And for some futarded reason, those albums aren't available in the USA's music store.
Why is this? When are they going to fix it? Why doesn't the world revolve around me and my tastes?

Jay,
this has been discussed more than once:
It's the decision of the big record labels and/or the copyright holders - it's not a decision made by Apple.
So there won't be any "fix" until the record labels will change their attitude.

    That statement is false. Copied directly from the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:
    "The iTunes Service is available to you only in( Insert country name here). You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
    You need to be physically located in the country, its territories or possessions whose store you are trying to use.

  • Why o why can I only purchase Apps from my country's app store? Better apps in other countries!!

    I am sorry, but we have crap apps in South Africa!!  I want to know why I cannot purchase apps from the US or Canada stores.  I can purchase items over the internet with my credit card from stores in the US, so why not apps?

    Yes, I know. It's all a bit silly in some ways, but even major countries seem to have problems dealing with the digital world. That world changes quickly, while governments tend to lumber on like the long dead giant herbivores. But in the evolutionary scheme of things that seems the rule: the bigger you are, the slower you move!.
    From my travel experiences of 20 or 30 years ago, I can remember when you would be hard put to find Visa accepted widely outside of the US. Everyone preferred MasterCard or American Express. The latter was not overly liked because of the fees they charged vendors. Fortunately, that's not the case anymore, but it took those changes a while to happen. I recall my first trip outside of the US for which I had my Visa and AmEx cards. Then I discovered that no one took Visa. Even the local ATMs didn't accept Visa, and most did not like AmEx. Went to a local bank in order to get cash using the Visa card because that was my only recourse at the time. They told me I should have used a MasterCard. Who knew? Next trip I had a MasterCard in my wallet.

  • Why can't i buy products in other country ?

    for example, i am in germany and i want to buy a movie ? can't i use a german card ?
    thanks !
    ruben

    I have the same problem. I am trying to purchase music from the German iTunes store.
    Is there a way around it? For example, could a friend in Germany "gift" me a song? Would it arrive in my mailbox and would I be able to then download the song? Or, could my friend buy me an iTunes gift card from the German store which I could then use to purchase music from that store? There must be a way around this obstacle! Anyone have any ideas?

  • 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 sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

    why can't i play songs from other sources in my liberay that i sync in my phone

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

    No one here knows why. No one can help you with so little information because we do not have a crystalball. You will need to provide detailed information about what happens when you try to buy an app in order to begin to help with your issue.

    Why can't I receive sms from other phones ?

    Try going to setting->general->reset-> reset network settings. And see if that works.
    You may also want to contact your carrier and see if there is anything funny going on with your profile.
    Best of luck let me know if this helps.

  • HT1918 Can i use credit card from other country to paid my unpaid bills in apple store?

    Can i use other credit card from other country to pay my unpaid bill in apple store?
    I cannot upadate or download bcoz of my unpaid bill!

    You can only use a credit card that is issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are based. If you don't have one of those then are iTunes gift cards available in your country ?

  • Will I be able to buy a protection plan for Mac book air in some other country (say Germany )if I buy it from other country ( say USA )?

    Will i be able to buy from other country ?

    It should be fine provided Netflix is available on AppleTV normally in Argentina - in the Settings menus there are a couple of location/country type settings - the unit has a universal power supply and apart from potentially a plug adapter for the power cord if needed it should work fine.
    AppleTv's are not region locked at all, you should be able to get all services available on an AppleTV sold in Argentina on one sold in Spain provided you configure the location info correctly.

  • Why can't I buy music from other Stores, other then my localised store ?

    It puzzles me. If you buy a CD abroad, you can play it in your CD player at home. So why not iTunes downloads. For instance, I'm located in the Netherlands, but I see an album in the US store I want to download, but I can't because I'm only allowed to buy something from the Dutch store.
    Why ? It makes no sense.
    EDIT: Nevermind, another post had the answer.

    Please give more information, as your device model and software version. Also what happens when you try to buy music? Probably is because you don't have an apple id synced up or you haven't registered a credit card.

  • 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!
