    Hi reubenchuck2002,

     

    It sounds like you have to change the country of the account you use with the iTunes Store and App Store on your iPad. Take a look at the article below for more information about changing the country associated with your account.

     

    Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account

    If you move to a new country, you can change the country of your existing account on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac or PC. After you change the country of your account, you won't see the items you purchased from the previous country’s store in the Purchased section.

    Change your country on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. Tap iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.
    2. At the bottom of the Featured page, tap Sign In.
      If you're already signed in, skip to step 5.
    3. Tap Use Existing Apple ID.
    4. Enter your Apple ID and password and tap OK.
    5. Tap your Apple ID.
    6. Tap View Apple ID or View Account.
    7. Tap Country/Region.
    8. Tap Change Country or Region.
    9. Tap the Store menu and tap your country.
    10. Tap Next.
    11. Review the Terms and Conditions and Apple Privacy Policy.
    12. Tap Agree if you agree to the terms and conditions.
    13. In the prompt that appears, tap Agree.
    14. Select a payment method and enter your payment information.
    15. Enter your billing address and tap Next.
