This apple ID is only valid for purchases in the UK store - you will be switched to that store

When I try connect to the app store I get an error message: This apple ID is only valid for purchases in the UK store - you will be switched to that store and then nothing happens. I have tried everything possible - reset my apple ID, logged out of my apple ID on all devices and logged back in, factory reset my phone, ensured my country/region is set to UK, made sure my billing info is correct, made sure software is up to date but nothing is working. I've always been in the UK so I am unsure why everything stopped working so randomly. Has anyone else had this happen before? I was on the phone to apple support for over 1 hour with no luck before I got cut off so thought I would try this before I phone back.


Any help would be appreciated.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
