Why can't i download a free app from another countries app store?

I have an account with App store UAE and need to download the HBR app which is free but when i access the USA store it says my credit card is not applicable tothis store

Largely due to licensing agreements, you can only buy from the iTunes Store in the country in which you reside.  To prove you reside there, Apple will only take credit cards issued from and billed to that country / address. 
The developer may not have given permission for that particular app to be sold in your country by Apple.   They may have alternate agreements.

  • HT1918 Why can I not download a free app??? It says I have a billing problem.. Not true

    Why can I not download a free app? It says I have a billing problem but that's not true.

    Hi friend,
    Probably in the past you tap for a update inside the application, that made you have a pending payment in your Apple account. Go to www.apple.com and check about pending payments. If you have, wait for around 30 days (starting to count from the day you asked for the paid update) then it will be canceled automaticaly.
    Hope it helps

    Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

  • Why can't i install a free app?

    Why can't I install a free app?  I click on free and then it tells me that I need to verify my payment option when the app is free.  What am I doing wrong?

    If you set up an Apple ID with credit card details then you need to enter valid credit card information and then when you download a free app it does what you are experiencing.  You will not be charged.  Sometimes when you update credit card information in you Apple ID, Apple raises a $1 charge to check to see if the card works and then cancels the charge.  IF you want to set up an ID without a ccredit card then you do so like this

    Try deleting the waiting app then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    DNS -
    Some folks resolve download and other connection issues by using either OpenDNS or Google Public DNS services. The best use is to use it as the DNS configuration in your modem/router/gateway device, but often the configuration in the computer or iOS device will over ride the other configuration if you don't have access.

    Why can't I download Adobe Premiere Pro from the cloud- have tried repeatedly, followed all the posted advice- all other programs have downloaded without a hitch.... what's the deal?

    Hi Clearly Stated,
    Maybe try downloading the Premiere Pro trial and then licensing it?

    After you install just covert it to be licensed as part of Creative Cloud using the "License This Software" option shown here.

    Are you trying to download YouTube videos with a Firefox extension?
    YouTube (Google) seems to have made changes to their servers and that prevents the extensions from working for now.<br />
    You will have to wait until the extension developer has released an update to fix this or check for a possible beta version.

  • Why can I not access the Mac App store?

    why can I not access the Mac App store? I cannot enter the Mac App Store; for updates to featured Apps?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • HT5035 Why, when trying to download a "free" app from iTunes after it say's, "this apple id hasn't been used with the iTunes store" does it keep asking for credit card info???

    This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
    I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
    So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
    Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
    music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
    my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
    I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
    I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
    But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
    Please, can anyone help...?!?
    Sincerely,
    "Distressed"

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.
