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.

  • Can i watch content downloaded from other country itunes stores

    If I purchase content on overseas itunes store can I watch it here in AU?

    First you will have problems even purchasing it from another country.  The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance. - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE"
    I don't know if there would be issues actually playing it if you did eventually get it on your computer.  There must be people who buy content in one country, then move to another country and I would think we would see many complaints here if all their old content suddenly stopped working.

  • 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.

    why can't i buy app from the app store on my iphone?

    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 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.

    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.

  • Why can I not order music from other countries

    Hello,
    why can I not order music from either germany or austria if the canadian itunes does not have it?
    I don't mind paying in euros or paypal, which ever.
    I think the stores should be compatable or should allow buying from another country.
    Thanks, Ingo

    The short answer is that the content owners do not allow Apple to sell content across country borders. It's not by Apple's choice.
    Regards.

  • 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 ?

  • Why can't I download apps from App store? I get error message to log into Itunes but when I do I have no idea what to do!?

    I'm stuck. Can't download any apps. Error message directs me to iTunes. No idea what to do when I get to iTunes. Still can't download anything. Dead in the water.

    If you are trying to download apps over 20MB in size, you can't do it via 3G. You can download them via WiFi.
    When you go to iTunes on your computer, from the menu at the top - go to Store>Check for available downloads.

  • Why can't I get updates from the app store

    why can't I update my apps? It always ask for the password and then goes right back to update.

    Try signing out of iTunes & App Store then signing back in.
    Settings->iTunes & App Store.  Tap on your Apple ID then select sign out
    Restart your iPad
    Now, open Settings->iTunes & App Store - sign back in.
    See if you can update now.
    if not try Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings
    You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks again,
    Hope this helps!
