Change country on iTunes account

You can't buy from the another country's store.

"Purchases or rentals (as applicable) from the iTunes Store are available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions, and are not available in any other location. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Store from outside of the available territory. Apple may use technologies to verify such compliance."

"The Service is currently available only in the United Kingdom and is not available in any other location. You agree not to use or attempt to use the Service from outside of the available territory, and that iTunes may use technologies to verify your compliance."

Even if you change stores, you will not be able to buy unless you have a U.S. address and a credit card that is billed to that address and you are in the U.S.

" I need to either find a way to spend £0,11 or get the £0,11 removed from my account."


You can buy a song.

You can e-mail itunes support and ask:

" If it were that easy you wouldn't find me in here complaining, would you?"

I have no idea. People constantly ask questions that are covered in manuals, the press, the help feature, etc.


"And a song costs £0,99."

So, what's the problem? The .11 would be gone if you bought a song. The additional .88 would be charged to your card. Problem solved.

I need to change the country of my account from the UK store to the US store.

You can't. Again, you cannot use a US-issued gift certificate with your UK-based iTunes Store account, and the terms of service for the iTunes Store prohibit your attempting to use the US iTunes Store since you apparently don't live in the US. Unless you've moved to the United States, there's nothing further that can be done to help you with this issue.

I would suggest you contact the person who gave you this gift certificate and let them know. Perhaps if they contact the iTunes Store, the Store will take pity on them and refund their money (though the iTunes Store is pretty clear that gift certificates don't work outside of the country of purchase).

Regards.
