Why is my apple id only valid in us store

I created a new apple ID (email of the previous one no longer exists). The information states that this new email is only valid for the US store. How can I alter that?

Hello Nanty,
The article linked below details how to go about changing the country of your various Store accounts.

  • Why is my Apple ID only valid for the Apple store in one country (Ireland) even though I have moved to and live in the USA?

    I have moved from Ireland to the USA and now (legally) live in Seattle. When I try to login to the iTunes store here in the USA, I get a message telling me that my Apple ID is only valid for purchases from the Ireland iTunes store. What moron put in a restriction like that? Apple is now telling me that although I can legally move from one country to another and take up residence, I can not travel globally with my Apple ID? What use is having an Apple ID then as I can travel and buy globally with Amazon?

    Do NOT create another ID.  Change the country of your present ID.

    Realize, however, just as you can no longer visit your old public library in Ireland you also no longer have access to the store or your purchases made there.  You can continue to use them as they are on your computer now but that makes it all the more important you maintain backups in case of loss.  If you upgrade an app I think you will have to pay for it again since you no longer have access to the Irish Store.

  • Apple Id only valid in Canadian stores ... I live in Arizona.

    My iTunes keeps telling me that I cannot purchase from the US store and that my Apple ID is only valid for purchases in Canadian stores ... I have checked the address that I listed when I signed up and it is correct ... in Arizona.  Any suggestions ?

    If you have...
    - set your iTunes Store country to USA (verified by the USA flag at the bottom right of the Store),
    - provided billing credentials with a USA adress,
    - and are physically in the USA...
    then you are eligible to use the USA store.
    If all the above are true and it is still not working, contact iTunes Customer Service.

  • HT204053 why is my apple ID only good for purchase here in the philippines?

    why is my apple ID only good for purchase here in the philippines?

    Sales are restricted by country presumably because of licensing restrictions. In most cases those will be imposed by the distributors of the items.  If a company has not worked out the license to sell a song in your country, or has simply decided not to bother, or in rare cases is prohibited by the government of a country, then Apple cannot sell it to you.

  • Apple ID only valid for purchases in Turkish Store

    Folks,
    I recently decide to move USA, for starting on right food applied for a software bootcamp and accepted. Bootcamp send me some preperation material just for being ready until the course but those books send via Amazon and I need to download Kindle app for reading them and this is where my problem starts.
    App store do not let me download the Amazon Kindle app by giving the error "This Apple ID only valid for purchases in the Turkish iTunes store, so I understand the free Kindle app is not downloadable from my country then I updated my Apple contact as my course address and phone and change the Apple country inside iTunes but still getting same country related error.
    Restart my Macbook with the hope of making the address change effective but it is not being effective. So is there any way available for me to download that Kindle app.
    Thank you in advance,

    Hey,
    Yes, Apple support offered me a solution but this solution involving backing up all my iTunes purchases(they won't be available after country change) and needs a US credit card or at least a gift card for changing the country. So I decide not to change country until moving there completely. By the way all those country restrictions do not make sense for me.
    One world, one flag, one language that's what I want

  • Why will my apple tv only access purchases made in itunes library? My Home Sharing is activated on both my TV and computer, but I continue to get message to activate Home Sharing. I am unable to transfer my movies downloaded in Itunes.

    Why will my Apple TV only accept purchases made in Itunes? I am unable to transfer movies and music that I have  downloaded in Itunes through my Apple TV to my TV. All movies are in an MP3 Ipad format.I have followed every troubleshooting suggestion with no luck. If my Apple TV will transfer purchased music, I must assume the Home Sharing is activate on both my computer and TV.

    Thank you. I meant streaming, not transfer. I have streamed movies through my Apple TV before and watched them on my TV. Now, the only content that will stream is what I purchased in the Itunes store. My Home Sharing is obviously activated or the streaming of purchased items would not work. Both my Itunes and Apple TV are fully updated. Where am I going wrong?

    why does my apple tv only show two icons?

    Ditto, my ATV3 went on the blink last night. It suddenly lost internet connection and therefore resulting in the loss of AirPlay.
    Reset and Restarted the device and my wireless box (an Airport Extreme). The ATV3 can see my home network but it cannot connect to the internet via it.
    My Macs and ipads can so the internet is working.
    Seems that there is an issue with ATV3?!
    Apple can you help?

    When is it asking for it ?
    If you are updating from iOS 7+ to 7.0.4 then did you have Find My iPod enabled on it ? If you did then it might be asking for the password for your account when you set that 'on'.

  • HT201195 i want to redeem a gift sent from Sweden, but it wont be redeemed cause i am in Jordan and the code is only valid in Sweden store. What do i do ?

    Hello
    I am Balquis
    My brother sent me an itunes gift card from Sweden and it won't be redeemed because it's code is only valid for customers of the Sweden store.
    What do i do to redeem it?

    You won't be able to, all iTunes gift cards are country-specific, they can only be redeemed and used in their country of issue - so you will need to be in Sweden with a Swedish billing address on your account to be able to use it. You could send the card back to your brother, or sell or give it to somebody else who is in Sweden

  • Why is my Apple ID not valid

    When I attempt to sign into iCloud via my iPhone I get the following..."iCloud requires an Apple ID that is an email address". The apple ID I have been using for many years is not an email address. Why can I not sign into iCloud with my current Apple ID?

    This via some other posts about the same topic under different headings is a very large issue.  I for one have been able to use my email, however, have an old apple ID that is not an email address.  When upgrading to IOS 5 .0.1 patch that was pushed last week to my IPad and making way for the Cloud to replace MobileMe it appears that the updated software has replaced my old ID with my email address.  This was not discovered until I attempted to buy an app.  When I attempted to change my ID back it would not allow the switch stating that the ID needs to be an email address.  I have not changed my MAC or my IPhone to IOS 5 and they are fine.  My iPad does work with email and the problem for me is the new ID seems to only have an impact on purchases where I need the store.  I'm not switching over to the new ID until Apple resolves this issue.  The last note is that I've also read in other posts that you run the risk when you switch IDs of loosing all of the licenses to the music, apps, etc., that you have purchased as they are associated to your old ID.

  • Apple ID only valid for purchases in US

    I have read the many posts regarding this topic.  However, I need to ask the question.
    I am from the US, with a US iTunes account, and a US iPad.
    I am stationed overseas (U.S. Military).  The local television provider (sattelite tv) has a FREE app in the UK store.  I cannot download/install this due to the Apple ID error stated in the subject line.  First, it is not a copyright infringement if the item is given away FREE.  Second it is not a copyright infringement if the item is being used in the country that it is sold in.  So let's not go down that road.  Free Apps are Free Apps.  Additionally, in order to use this app I must sign into the app with a valid tv provider account, thus validating my authorization to use this app.  Therefore, there is no need to block this app.
    How do I go about getting this app? 
    APP = Sky Go
    CK

    You would need to set up an account in the UK iTunes Store to be able to get any apps available exclusively there. This is controlled by the app's developer; if they don't want it released in other countries, and those apps that access UK content for reasons of licensing do indeed generally restrict, Apple cannot do so.
    To set up an account to get free apps in the UK iTunes Store, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of UK-based payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

  • HT2534 I m in India and I want to use my apple I'd but it say that it's only valid in australia store what to do?

    Create new account won't accept card detail

    You can only use the Apple store in the country in which you currently are located.  In addition, you must have a credit card with a billing address IN THE COUNTRY in which case you're located as well.
    In your case, you need to use the Indian Apple Store, and must have a credit card with a billing address in India.

  • Why does my Apple ID only work intermittently?

    I got a message after trying to log into the itunes store with my apple ID a week ago.  Wrong password...  Since then I have successfully changed my password 4 times via iforgot, which lets me in temporarily then a day later I get the same wrong password message.  I have synched my iphone and ipad2 to itunes v. 10.5 and changed settings on my iphone and ipad (settings>store>apple ID>view apple ID>password). 
    Please let me know why this is happening.  Apple doesn't seem to know. 
    Thanks!

  • Why is my Apple ID only disabled in my App Store? Resetting PW did not fix this problem! Why?

    Does it take 24 hr after resetting your password to be able to use the APP Store??

    You'll have to ask iTunes store support: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • I am trying to update some of my apple apps which have upgrades pending but AppStore says that my apple I'd is only valid for us store. I have bought some apps in us but now live in Belgium registered with the uk store. Trying to get these upgrades

    See title
    Issues with device iPad apparently being registered to us store (now living in Belgium) when trying to upgrade apps which have fixes pending. How do I get these fixes    Some apps I have bought while living in us and some while living in euorope (uk and Belgium)

    I've seen this issue posted before and not seen a solution.  When you change store country it breaks all ties to the previous store.
