Why can't I purchase movies or tv-shows in Norway?

I was wondering why I can't purchase movies or TV-shows from iTunes. I'm from Norway, so my account is registered i Norway. Apple don't sell Apple TV i Norway either. WHY?!

Because Apple doesn't have permission to sell enough movies and TV shows in Norway to open sections for them in its iTunes Store.

Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

Ok. That's strange. The download should show up immediately in the lower right. Even if it is stuck, you will se the red number. So something is blocking the purchase. Take a look at setting, restrictions, and see if something there is turned on that might be blocking you.

Why can't I purchase movies from my Apple TV? When searching not all available movies even show up!

I've had my apple tv for a while now, but have never actually purchased anything from the itunes store directly from the device. A friend recommended "Sleepless in Seattle" to me, and since it's not in Netflix or On Demand, I decided to buy it from itunes.
In doing a search in the Movies section of my Apple TV and typing in "Sleepl", I got no results. Bummed, I went onto Amazon to see how much the DVD would cost. On a whim, I opened itunes on my computer and did a search for the movie. To my shock, it is available for purchase on itunes for $9.99!
Once I found this out, I went back to my Apple TV and searched again. The movie still didn't appear to exist. I noticed then that every movie on the apple tv only gave me the option of renting, not buying. I was going to purchase from my computer, but then thought better of it because I wasn't sure it would be made available for me to watch on the apple tv.
Is there something wrong with my system? Why can't I buy movies from the device? I can buy tv shows, so it just seems weird to me that this is limited to the movies!

Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive.

Why can I only purchase movies from within my own country?

Or moreover, Why can't I buy movies from the ITunes family in other countries?

You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of the country of your residence ( proven by the billing address on your credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

Why can I not purchase movies on iTunes?

When I go to the movie I want, the box to purchase is greyed out and I cannot click on it. I checked my preference and they allow for all content. I checked the country code and updated my CC info. The movies that I am trying to purchase are available. I just recently updated to the most recent software. Please help.

Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:
We could not complete your purchase
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
Please can anyone be of kind assistance.
Thank you!

If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery
Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
***** Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

Why can't i purchase videos in itunes?! is it a country/region restriction!?

why can't i purchase videos in itunes?! is it a country/region restriction!?

You can only purchase what the itunes store in your country sells.
The owners of the distribution rights of music/movies/etc. must allow itunes to sell their content. Unless and until Apple is able to reach an agreement with these companies, then they will not be able to provide.

Why can't I rent movies in South Africa

Why do we have limited functionality on the iPad simply because we linked to a South African account?
I can't download/rent/purchase any movies or music or games! This limitation is causing me to only use certain functionality on my iPad, which considering the price of the device doesn't seem fair. With the Anroyd application store you are not limited to certain apps or downloads, however with apple everthing seems so controlled! Can someone please comment on the above.

Why can't I rent movies in South Africa
Because the movie companies have not given Apple permission to rent their movies there yet.
Apple don't own or create the movies. They sell and rent them on behalf of the movie studios under license. They cannot sell and rent movies without permission.

Why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?

I am using iTunes 11.0 and can sync a movie (Miracle on 34th Street) to my new ipod nano 7th gen but when I try a TV Show (a Planet Earth HD episode) or even a brief video clip taken with my camara I am told that such an action is not permitted on this ipod. So why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)? Thank you.

Before you can sync video files, it must be converted into a format compatible with ipod. If you can’t sync a video convert it by doing the following:
In iTunes, select the video you want to convert. Do one of the following then sync again after:
1) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version.
2) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
I hope this works.

How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?

How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv? I recently purchased an apple tv and cannot play the movies I have bought on my itunes account?
Can anyone help?

You can also got to movies and select purchased and if it comes up cannot connect to server go to settings and scroll down to restart and it should work. That's what I did and it showed my purchased movies and I don't have my Apple TV paired with a computer. Just using iCloud. But you also can pair your computer but its not necessary to watch purchased movies you have bought through iTunes. Hope this helps.

Why can't I purchase my entire wish list anymore?

Why can't I purchase my entire wish list anymore?

You can't buy it all at once, if that's what you mean. Apple for some unexplained reason removed the "Buy All" option a while back. Perhaps they'll put it back in a future update; it's a subject that certainly has been brought up a number of times in these forums.
Regards.

HT1449 Why can't I just move the entire iTunes folder?

In reference to the linked article above, why can't I just move the entire iTunes folder and create an alias where it used to be ~/Music/iTunes instead of that tedious process?

You can do that. You can copy the entire Music folder and create an alias for where it normally belongs. However, OS X will not allow you to delete the entire Music folder without a little extra work:
Copy the /Home/Music/ folder to the desired new location. Create an alias to the new location and put the alias in the /Home/ folder. You will now have a "Music" and a "Music alias" in your /Home/ folder. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
sudo rm -rf ~/Music
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted (it will not be echoed) then press RETURN again. The old Music folder should disappear. Now rename the "Music alias" folder to "Music".
