Invalid store Hello! After i changed the country my Apple Music doesn’t give me listening lots of music in my play list. It’s showing me that invalid store, you are signed in with an Apple ID, that is not valid for use UK store. You may only purchase music from the Latvia store with this Apple ID. Is it mean that all my play list is can’t work anymore?
