Why is the Mexican iTunes Store so empty?

I just found thar many VERY -and I mean VERY- popular songs are not available in this store, and I want to know why! And why can't then I just change my location? because it seems like, very unfair.

The rights owners (mostly media companies) decide what can be sold where and to whom.  Presumably Apple can do limited negotiation but in the end they have to take what is offered.

  • Why is the canadian itunes store still the poor cousins

    Since we can't shop at the US store - whe will the canadian store be getting TV shows and movies?

    We, you're fellow users, have no idea and Apple's not telling. It all depends on when Apple can get the rights to sell the content in Canada.

  • Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over? Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes?

    Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
    Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman &amp; Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV?  Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search &amp; purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung &amp; HTC are already on too of them for innovation &amp; ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?

    It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
    You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Why is no season pass available for Big Bang Theory Season 6 in the Australian iTunes Store?

    Season 6 of The Big Bang Theory is now showing in the Australian iTunes Store. So far only one episode is available.
    Where the "Buy Season Pass" button usually is, it instead says, "Partial Season". I can't see any option to buy a season pass.
    Why is this? What does "partial season" mean? If I buy the one episode available, will I later get the option to "Complete" my season? Will the full season eventually be available?
    Thanks anyone for any light you can shed on this.         

    You would have to ask whomever holds the U.K. distribution rights to the show.

  • Why can't I make a purchase in the American iTunes store?

    I am a Canadian resident who would like to make a purchase in the US ITunes store. I don't know anyone in the US nor do I have a credit card with an American billing address. Is there any possible way for me to make a purchase in the American store, or am I pretty much screwed? I buy lots of music and all I want to do is give the US Store my money-why is this so hard? This wouldn't be an issue if the Canadian store just had what I am looking for (i.e. TV Shows!) -why does the selection vary from country to country anyway?

    Again, It's not up to Apple. They would love to have every track available to everyone in the world. The record companies and other rights holder are different in every country, though, so they require separate negotiation by Apple for the rights in each country. And since the rights are held separately in different countries, they all restrict Apple (and every other legal download store) to selling only to users within that particular country.
    So again, Apple can do nothing to change this unless and until the record companies arrive at a cross-border sales agreement, something I don't see happening anytime in the foreseeable future, even within the EU.

  • Why is the documentary series Bomb Patrol Afghanistan not available from the Australian iTunes store?

    Why is the documentary series Bomb Patrol Afghanistan not available from the Australian iTunes store?

    Because it is the producer's decision where they want their items to be available. You can request for it if you want to.

    the new transformers movie is out today in the american itunes store but i have a uk itunes account why cant i buy it ?

    It is up to the licenseholder/distributor to make their content available to Apple to sell in a particular country - until they do so, Apple can't sell it there. You can try requesting it (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html), but ultimately it's down to the distributor.

  • Why do you have no "Single of the Week" in the Belgian iTunes Store

    I was wondering why we don't have a "Single of the Week" in the Belgian iTunes Store, while all our neighboring countries have one.

    I think it's still available.
    Get this iOS app that reminds you to download single of the week, it provides a direct link to the free song:

  • HT3702 Itunes and auto cc charges???my credit card was charged 19.99 by the apple itunes store....I have no purchases in my history....how do I cancel this transaction? and why is it on there....how do I find out?

    Itunes and auto cc charges???my credit card was charged 19.99 by the apple itunes store....I have no purchases in my history....how do I cancel this transaction? and why is it on there....how do I find out?

    You've checked the purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    There are instructions on this page for viewing / managing / stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    If nothing shows on your iTunes purchase history (you don't have a Mac and have any purchases in the Mac App Store), and you only have the one account, then you should contact your card issuer.
    If something does show on your history but you didn't buy it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made the purchase, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Why whenever I open iTunes store, I see iTunes U in the screen?

    Why whenever I open iTunes store, I see iTunes U in the screen?
    I never get to iTunes store. It always directs me to iTunes U. Can anyone tells me what does that means?

    Kuwait is one of the countries where music, films and TV shows are not available from iTunes, so you won't get those categories in the iTunes store app - if/when they might be available there we won't know until if/when Apple announce something.
    Are there other music purchase download sites available in Kuwait ? You can also copy your own CDs via your computer's iTunes and sync them to your phone.

  • Please help,why cant i download a song in the american itunes store?

    i have wanted this bloody song for ages and now i have found it the bloody site will not let me download it. the song is metalingius by alter bridge and i found it in the american itunes but still can not download it. it is not on the uk itunes list and i dont know why, if it is on the american one why not the uk one?

    This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
    a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
    b) a mailing address for your residence in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
    This, again, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.
    As to why it's in the US iTunes Store and not in the UK iTunes Store, it's undoubtedly because the holders of the UK distribution rights haven't granted Apple the right to sell the track in the UK.
