USA iPod Touch in UK

I have a US iPod touch in the UK and it works fine, although I don't know if the UK version customises some of the keyboard features. There is a shortcut for '.com' but I doubt that converts to '.co.uk'.

oh, and the wireless iTunes store is the US one but I won't be using that anyway...

One point to make though: even if you buy from a company that operates in both the US and UK, most will not replace your iPod if something goes wrong outside the country where you bought it. That's why I decided not to buy in the US after looking into it.

Could anyone please confirm if you can change the wireless store settings or not?

Yes I'm sure you can, you'd have to do that through your pc itunes store tho.

So I could certainly change the iPod Wireless store location on the iPod from the US store to the UK store and prices? Could you please tell me exactly how to do that?

And that is the only difference between the UK and US iPod Touch?

Sorry about all the Qs, my sister is going to NYC tomorrow and wanted to make sure before she bought me one. Any first hand experience would be greatly appreciated!

okay if you go to your itunes (from your computer), and click on itunes store and on the very, very bottom it says "My Store" from there you can select which one you will use, so if you click on United Kingdom it will give you the U.K currency. And I'm sure you'd have to resync your touch. Try doing that, and if it doesn't seem to work, then I guess I can't help you from there.

It is better wise to have a U.K person who lives in U.K answer this question tho. But honestly, I can't 100% be sure that it will work.

Just spoke to the Apple store in Birmingham. They suggested that all iPods sold internationally are exactly the same, same packaging, software, everything. Therefore the wireless store should just default to whatever my account is registered to. Good news!

Yea just what I was thinking about. Well at least you don't have to worry about it anymore and hope you'll like it when you get one.

For what it's worth, your iTunes account seems to be the deciding factor on which iTunes store gets used. I have an old USA account from when I lived over there. Logging into iTunes via the UK store takes me to the USA with a message that my account is not valid with the UK. Even if the iPod Touch defaults to the USA, your account should switch it to use UK store.

So, to basically re-iterate what others have said, it should work just fine 🙂

Bought in USA and didn't have my PB so connected to a friends iBook. He was from Germany so from then on iTunes store was in german! 🙂 Fixed when home and connected to iTunes on my Mac!
