iTunes thinks I'm in America

njeo · 03-10-2004, 17:49

Any idea how to tell iTunes that I am in the UK and not America...? I have changed the store from US to UK but each time I try and buy a song I get an error saying that my account is only valid for the UK store and that I need to change to the UK store...

Any ideas??? Any one else had this problem?

Its more than likely something to do with your account. Make sure your country details are correct! If not, sign up a new account on the Apple UK site.

Well I signed out of iTunes and then signed back in and had to select the correct store from the home page, then all was fine... strange, eh?!

Well thats Apple for you, nothing works the way you expect it to.
