Why on earth am I not allowed to buy music from other countries?

I am from America but am currently studying abroad in Germany. I brought my Mac with me, and kept all my normal accounts. I have heard some really great german music here, and I really want to buy it. But my itunes account doesn't allow me to buy from itunes Deutschland! This is incredibly frustrating! I guess I don't see a reason behind this kind of rule....can anyone help me? Is there any way around it?

create a another iTunes account, using a German billing address, which should enable you to purchase content from the German iTunes store.

Why can't I buy music from other Stores, other then my localised store ?

It puzzles me. If you buy a CD abroad, you can play it in your CD player at home. So why not iTunes downloads. For instance, I'm located in the Netherlands, but I see an album in the US store I want to download, but I can't because I'm only allowed to buy something from the Dutch store.
Why ? It makes no sense.
EDIT: Nevermind, another post had the answer.

Please give more information, as your device model and software version. Also what happens when you try to buy music? Probably is because you don't have an apple id synced up or you haven't registered a credit card.

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.

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.

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

Why does gardens of time not allow feedback in the app store

Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com. You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them

Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them. InDesign will, but illustrator keeps popping up with "can't print the illustration." i have read other forums and i understand outlining typefaces, and spot colors but, it still will not allow me to print. Even if i open a completely new file and just try to print a black square it will not allow it. the problem might have started with an emailed EPS file? but im not 100 percent sure. i have disconnected and re connected the printer but the problem just seems as if all Illustrator, and Photoshop files will not print from the program and the connection with the printer is non existent (even though it says it is). please help!

Reset your illustrator prefs
Hold fingers over Shift Alt CTLR (PC) or Shift Opt Command (Mac)
Boot Illustrator
Immediately after booting depress the 3 keys as fast as you can.

TS3212 When I try to download iTune, it shows Drive K which does not exist in my computer. It does not allow me to change to other Drive and terminate download stating ' out of disk capacity"

Whne I download iTune, it shows that it will be downloaded to Drive K which does not exist in my computer. It does not allow me to change to other Drives has enough capacity. Then I click change bottom, attempting to change drive, it terminates the download.
Do you have any solutions??

Try "Invalid drive X:\" install errors. You should still be able to chose the drive for the download when downloading the installer with a web browser. The iTunes application is installed on the active system drive, usually drive C:.

Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
This will convert your newer 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file
